+1.56 (Sep 8, 2009)
+  - Fixed authentication errors caused by invalid base64 encoding.
+    Thanks for dozens of people who reported this and even submitted
+    patches! Sorry it took me so long to get this fixed :|
+  - Updated authentication code so it would try both AUTH PLAIN and
+    AUTH LOGIN methods before giving up. This should make it even
+    more robust.
+  - Detect <!DOCTYPE in first line of the message body as an html email too.
+  - Added command line option to force sending message as either
+    text or html (also allows a manual content-type header).
+
+1.55 (Dec 13, 2006)
+  - New command line option to specify a local bind address.  Useful on
+    machines with multiple IP addresses.
+  - EHLO should never send "localhost" now.  I Added a new function
+    called get_hostname() that does several new checks to get the system's
+    hostname.  If all else fails it will send it's own IP address.
+  - Added a new command line option, -o fqdn=FQDN, that allows one to override
+    the name sent after EHLO.
+  - Small change to how the timezone is sent, it was triggering spam filters.
+  - Windows executable now has TLS support enabled!
+
+1.54 (Oct 28, 2006)
+  NEW FEATURES:
+  - TLS support is finally here!  See the -o tls=[auto|yes|no] option.
+    To enable simply install the Net::SSleay and IO::Socket::SSL modules.
+    NOTE: If you experience errors related to TLS, PLEASE UPDATE your
+    Net::SSleay and IO::Socket::SSL modules before reporting an error.
+    I have already found inconsistancies with older versions.
+  - Updated the "-o message-header=HEADER" option so that you can use
+    it more than once.  Additionally you can now use it to override message
+    headers that would have normally been generated by sendEmail.  This is
+    particularly useful when a custom Message-ID or subject is needed.
+  - SMTP authentication now supports the SASL PLAIN mechanism along 
+    with the LOGIN method.
+  - New optional way to specify username and password with the -o option.
+  - If a username is supplied with -xu, but a password is not specified,
+    sendEmail will now prompt for one rather than exiting with an error.
+  BUG FIXES:
+  - Fixed an annoying bug that made some MUA's believe there was always
+    an attachment when there wasn't.
+  - New base64_encode() function that fixes a bug that was causing certain
+    usernames/passwords used with -xu and -xp to not work properly.
+
+1.53 (never publicly released, changes merged into 1.54)
+
+1.52 (Feb 19, 2005)
+  - Fixed the bug that prevented sendEmail on Windows and Mac systems
+    from working properly.  Thanks to the many people that reported that
+    bug!  Sorry it took me so long to fix, I've been working on my new
+    anti-spam service for businesses at http://www.dotclean.com/
+  - Allow null command line arguments.  For example -u "" should work.
+    Thanks to Mike Nadeau for pointing out that bug.
+  - Print shell escape codes for colored help on everything but Windows.
+    Thanks to Offer Kaye for that tip.  If this causes problems anywhere
+    please let me know!
+  - Changed default mime-encoding header to "application/octet-stream"
+    rather than "base64" when sendEmail can't guess any other content-
+    type to use.  Thanks to wwp for that patch.
+  - Added a -o message-charset option to specify the message body's
+    character set.  Thanks to Jei for letting me know not everyone
+    sends messages in iso-8859-1 ;)
+ 
+1.51 (Dec 02, 2004)
+  - A few alarm() calls were being called on Win32 systems which doesn't work.
+  - Added -o message-format=raw option to allow sending of raw pre-built email
+    messages.  Thanks to Lutz for the patch!
+  - If the hostname isn't found in common environment variables it now loads
+    the Sys::Hostname module and uses it to get the hostname.  This should
+    work properly on more platforms now.  If calling this module causes
+    anyone grief please let me know!
+
+1.50 (Sep 30, 2004)
+  - There has been a long standing bug where sendEmail could tell you the
+    remote server accepted the email when, in fact, it had been rejected.
+    This is now fixed.
+  - Changed the textual output of many debug messages.
+  - Added a Message-ID header to each message sent.
+  - You can now specify multiple to, cc, or bcc recipients by separating them
+    with either a space, comma, or semi-colon.  Previously it had to be space
+    separated.
+  - Replaced the connect function with one from the IO::Socket library.  The
+    IO::Socket module is included in default Perl installations, so this change
+    does not create any new Perl module dependencies.
+  - When sending to multiple recipients and one is rejected by the server
+    sendEmail does not abort as long as at least one recipient was
+    accepted.
+  - To, CC, and BCC fields can be specified in the
+    "Brandon Zehm <caspian@dotconf.net>"
+    format and it will populate the appropriate fields in the email message.
+  - All messages are now MIME encoded, even simple text ones.  This makes the
+    program flow much cleaner.
+  - SMTP Auth is now supported with the -xu and -xp command line parameters.
+  - You can create multi-line messages on the command line now by putting
+    a '\n' into the message specified with the -m parameter.
+  - Always use +0000 for timezone, and get the current time from gmtime()
+    rather than localtime().
+  - Added some color to the help and documentation if the shell is Bash.
+  - It now aborts with an error message if all file attachments can not be
+    found before connecting to the remote smtp server.  Previously if an
+    attachment specified couldn't be opened it would simply send the message
+    without the attachment.
+  - Allow a single custom email header line to be specified with
+    -o message-header=HEADER
+  - Add a -o timeout=SECONDS option so you can set the timeout used for all
+    network reads and writes.
+  - Added ability to specify a "Reply-to:" header with -o reply-to=ADDRESS
+  - Added ability to read message body from a file with -o message-file=FILE
+  - Added a lot of new documentation available via --help TOPIC.
+ 
+1.42 (June 06, 2003)
+  - It was possible to send bare CR's, so I fixed that now. (Thanks to
+    Jared Cheney for the bug report)
+  - Patch from Jared Cheney to add the MIME-Version field to conform to RFC1521
+    (made attachments work with more mail clients)
+ 
+1.41 (Apr 22, 2003)
+  - In some cases bare LF's were *still* getting sent, so I think I fixed it
+    right this time. (Thanks to Buddy Nahay for that bug report and helping
+    me test the fix!)
+  - Fixed bare period encoding (it wasn't working in all cases either)
+  - Changed HTML detection to require the <html> to be at the beginning of
+    a line.  Otherwise any email with "<html>" in the message would get
+    tagged as being an html message. (Thanks to John Rouillard for that
+    bug report!)
+
+1.40 (Dec 04, 2002)
+  - A patch from Paul Kreiner (J.P van Oyen also reported a similar fix):
+      "This patch forces the timestamp string to always follow
+       the HH:MM:SS convention required by the RFCs, even if the
+       fields could be represented with a single digit.  I also
+       took the liberty of adding a global "timezone" variable at
+       the top, and fixing a couple of typos."
+  - A patch from Reidar Johansen that included several fixes, but notably
+    he included a function called tz_offset that determines what timezone
+    your in.
+  - Fixed the signal handlers so they display a nice message
+  - Added a quit() function
+  - Added a printmsg() function to handle all printed/logged messages
+  - Added a simple openLogFile() function
+  - If running in Win32 it says "CTRL-Z" rather than "CTRL-D"
+  - Applied fix from Yakov Lerner to fix bare period encoding
+  - Check that attachments exist and are readable before trying to open them
+  - Rewrote the connect() function
+  - Rewrote the close/disconnect function
+  - Made the -v option work with any number of -v's
+  - Rewrote the read_server_response() function and renamed it to readServerResponse()
+  - Did a bunch of little fixes so that perl -w won't complain
+  - Redid the whole file logging stuff - now the printmsg function takes care of it,
+    and it's no longer partially broken.
+  - Added a global alarm variable for setting the alarm timeout, and changed
+    it's default value to 60 rather than 15.
+  - Fixed all the exit()'s so that sendEmail should now only exit with an
+    error status of 0 if it successfully sent the email.
+  - Added support for HTML email (Thanks again to Reidar Johansen)
+  - Re-worked the mime-encoding function to work with -w and use strict.
+  - Removed several die() calls in the file attachment process.
+  - Put a fix in place that should cleanly replace any bare LF's with CRLF.
+ 
+1.33 (Apr 16, 2001)
+  - Fixed some typo's and problems with the logging option regarding the
+    printing of attachment(s) names to the log file.
+  - Fixed several comparisons with null strings.
+  - Lots of little cleanup things.
+
+1.32 (Aug 18, 2000)
+  - Fixed a fairly serious error which in some circumstances would
+    cause file attachments to be corrupted because the mime padding at
+    the end of the attachment was not getting set correctly.
+ 
+1.31 (Aug 9, 2000)
+  - Totally rewrote all mime encoding code, it should now be 100%
+    MIME/Base64 compliant, and it now opens files in binary mode in win32.
+    This was a much bigger operation than it sounds like ;-)
+  - Now it should work with LARGE file attachments. In v1.30 it had to
+    load the whole file into memory before encoding it, now it encodes
+    line by line so it doesn't use nearly as much memory.
+  - Now checks the message for bare periods and encodes them.
+  - Fixed a bug that would allow text to be printed even if -q was
+    set (and -m was not).
+  - The MIME delimiter is now somewhat random.
+
+1.30 (Aug 1, 2000)
+  - ATTACHMENT SUPPORT ADDED!
+  - Added CC and BCC support, they are now normal command line options.
+  - sendEmail should now work easier in Win32.  Win32 did not support
+    the alarm() calls, so I put a check that disables the alarm calls if
+    $^O matches 'Win'.
+  - Added autodetection of mime type on attachments.
+  - Disabled the alarm timer if there are attachments, that way people
+    on modems can send big attachments without getting their upload killed.
+  - Added a -q option for quiet mode
+  - Added a 'Date:' field in the mail headers so messages will
+    show up in the right order in my mail program ;-)
+  - Changed the way you specify a port form the command line
+    now you specify it in the -s <server> option as an
+    optional :port addendum to the server name.
+  - Added -h and --help support.
+  - Updated the help to reflect all changes.
+   
+1.22 (Jul 8, 2000)
+  - Removed the 'content-type' and 'transfer encoding type' flags in the email
+    headers, in preparation for a version that will support real attachments.
+  - When piping data to sendEmail often email would have lines ending with
+    just \012 and many email servers do not like this. So I now have  \012
+    replaced with \012\015 in data piped from STDIN.
+  - When piping data as the message it now displays a message for those manually
+    typing in an email.  It also changes the 15 second alarm to a 60 second alarm
+    and resets it after every new line.
+
+1.21 (May 15, 2000)
+  - Removed the SIG_ALARM call (gave errors on certain non-slackware distributions)
+  - Added a missing error check that could have allowed sendEmail to say a
+    message was sent successfully when the server had actually returned an
+    error message.
+     
+
+1.20 (May 10, 2000)
