[gmime-devel] GMime 2.99 - no more global variables

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj gnome org>]

Hey all,

This is just a status update. At this point, I've gotten GMime to the point
where there are no longer any global variables.

What this means:

1. g_mime_init() no longer takes a flags argument.
  a. Instead of using GMIME_ENABLE_RFC2047_WORKAROUNDS, use a 
GMimeParserOptions
     and call g_mime_parser_options_set_rfc2047_compliance_mode() with
     GMIME_RFC_COMPLIANCE_LOOSE.
  b. Instead of using GMIME_USE_ONLY_USER_CHARSETS, simply pass a 
charset name
     argument to g_mime_utils_header_encode_[text,phrase]() and/or
     g_mime_message_set_subject(). InternetAddress now also has a 
charset property
     that it uses when calling g_mime_utils_header_encode_phrase() 
internally.

2. g_mime_set_user_charsets() and g_mime_user_charsets() are gone. For 
encoding,
   they've been replaced by a charset argument as explained above. For 
decoding,
   you can specify a list of fallback charsets to try as part of
   GMimeParserOptions.


Enjoy,

Jeff
