*** This is a vital bug-fix release ***
Apparently, certain methods were not downcasing the content-type
they returned (as they claimed); this has now been fixed in 4.116.
If you use MIME-tools 4.x for Perl MIME-parsing, you should upgrade
ASAP, since this bug will cause all content-types not already
in all-lowercase to be handled by the parser as though they
are unrecognized. Particularly vulnerable are things
like "MULTIPART/MIXED". :-(
My thanks to Rodrigo de Almeida Siqueira for finding this bug.
A t/*.t test has been added to trap it in the future.
Okay, that's enough of my dirty laundry for this week. :-)
