For those using VMime on Windows platform, someone has written a HOWTO to get VMime compiled, with all its dependencies, using MinGW. It's there: HOWTO: Compiling libvmime on MinGW/MSYS.

VMime 0.9.0 autoconf build process uses the libgnutls-config script to search for
GNU TLS (by using AM_PATH_LIBGNUTLS).
This script is deprecated and not shipped in gnutls 2.8.0 and later; pkg-config should now be used.
Andreas Metzler provided a
patch for fixing this.

Version 0.8.0 is out, with SASL and TLS support.
The VMime Book (developer guide) is now available!
-
Refactored header field values and parameters.
-
Utility: new object charsetConverter for converting
between charsets (code moved from static functions in 'charset' class). Added charsetFilteredOutputStream provide charset conversion while
writing to an output stream.
-
Build: fixed compilation problems on FreeBSD (thanks to Xin LI).
-
Attachments: the attachmentHelper allows listing all
attachments in a message, as well as adding new attachments.
-
Utility: renamed progressionListener to progressListener.
-
Messaging: removed "server.socket-factory" property; added the
service::setSocketFactory() function instead. Removed "name" parameter
from platformDependant::getSocketFactory() function.
-
Messaging: removed "timeout.factory" property; added the function
service::setTimeoutHandlerFactory() instead. Removed the function
platformDependant::getTimeoutHandlerFactory().
-
Added TLS/SSL support, using GNU TLS library.
-
Added SASL support, based on GNU SASL library. Slightly modified
auhenticator object; see 'example6' which has been updated.
-
Utility: created 'vmime::security' and 'vmime::security::digest' namespaces.
MD5 has been moved here. Added SHA-1 hash algorithm.
-
Encoder, Content Handler: added progression notifications.
-
Tests: moved to CppUnit for unit tests framework.
-
Renamed 'vmime::messaging' to 'vmime::net'. An alias has been
kept for compatibility with previous versions (its use should be considered
as deprecated).
-
Exception: vmime::exception now inherits from std::exception.
-
Messaging folder: added a FETCH_IMPORTANCE flag to fetch the fields used
with 'misc::importanceHelper'.
-
POP3, IMAP, Maildir: fixed getMessages() when default arguments are given:
no message were returned, instead of the real message count.
-
Attachments/Message parser: added a getName() parameter to retrieve
the attachment filename either from the "filename" parameter of the "Content-Disposition" field,
or from the "name" parameter of the "Content-Type" field (if available).
-
Added reference counting and smart pointers to simplify the
use of VMime objects. Please see README.refcounting for more information.
-
Content Handler: added extractRaw() method to allow extracting
data without performing any decoding.

By Vincent on Tuesday, Jun 21 2005, 19:47 - Release
Version 0.7.1 has been released.
A lot of bugs have been fixed. Added some minor enhancements.
-
Build: fixed compilation errors with g++ 4.0.
-
Core: fixed a bug in RFC-2231 implementation.
-
Core: fixed a bug in parsing, when the first character of word data was encoded in QP (thanks to Wolf Jiang).
-
Core: fixed a memory leak in parameterizedHeaderField destructor (thanks to Rafael Fernandez).
-
Messaging: added a 'peek' parameter to extract message contents without marking the message as seen.
-
IMAP: fixed bug in subfolders enumeration.
-
Examples: enhanced 'example6' into an interactive program to
show some of the features of the messaging module.
-
Messaging: changed getAvailableProperties() to return 'serviceInfos::property' objects instead of strings. This permits
setting service properties in a more generic manner.
-
IMAP: fixed missing space in "STATUS" command + parsing error in 'status_info'.
-
Utility: added a 'childProcess' class to help with spawning child processes (used in 'sendmail' implementation).
-
Added guide describing how to compile VMime using Visual Studio .NET 2003
-
Utility: moved progressionListener to 'vmime::utility' package since this can be of general use.
-
Utility: added a bufferedStreamCopy() function which can take a 'progressionListener' parameter.
-
Utility: added filtered input and output streams.
-
Added sendmail transport service for local delivery.
-
Core: fixed a bug in implementation of RFC-2231 (values were cut if longer than maxLineLength, and no line wrapping occured).
-
Utility: fixed a lot of bugs in URLs parsing and encoding/decoding + added unit tests.
Moved 'url' and 'urlUtils' from 'vmime::messaging' namespace to 'vmime::utility' namespace.
