 Version 5.0.1 (April 05, 2009)
Temporary fix for missing attachments
 Version 5.0.0 (April 02, 2009)With the release of this version, we are initiating a new version numbering
system to differentiate from the PHP4 version of PHPMailer.
Most notable in this release is fully object oriented code. class.smtp.php:
Refactored class.smtp.php to support new exception handling
code size reduced from 29.2 Kb to 25.6 Kb
Removed unnecessary functions from class.smtp.php:
- public function Expand($name) {
- public function Help($keyword="") {
- public function Noop() {
- public function Send($from) {
- public function SendOrMail($from) {
- public function Verify($name) {
 class.phpmailer.php:
Refactored class.phpmailer.php with new exception handling
Changed processing functionality of Sendmail and Qmail so they cannot be
inadvertently used
removed getFile() function, just became a simple wrapper for
file_get_contents()
added check for PHP version (will gracefully exit if not at least PHP 5.0)
enhanced code to check if an attachment source is the same as an embedded or
inline graphic source to eliminate duplicate attachments
 New /test_scriptWe have written a test script you can use to test the script as part of your
installation. Once you press submit, the test script will send a multi-mime
email with either the message you type in or an HTML email with an inline
graphic. Two attachments are included in the email (one of the attachments
is also the inline graphic so you can see that only one copy of the graphic
is sent in the email). The test script will also display the functional
script that you can copy/paste to your editor to duplicate the functionality. New examplesAll new examples in both basic and advanced modes. Advanced examples show
   Exception handling. PHPDocumentator (phpdocs) documentation for PHPMailer version 5.0.0All new documentation Version 2.3 (November 06, 2008)
added Arabic language (many thanks to Bahjat Al Mostafa)

added $sign_cert_file to avoid improper duplicate use of $sign_key_file
corrected $this->Hello on line 612 to $this->Helo

if default is not acceptable
removed trim() from return results in EncodeQP
/test and three files it contained are removed from version 2.3
fixed phpunit.php for compliance with PHP5
changed $this->AltBody = $textMsg; to $this->AltBody = html_entity_decode($textMsg);
We have removed the /phpdoc from the downloads. All documentation is now on
the http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com website.
 Version 2.2.1 () July 19 2008
fixed line 1092 in class.smtp.php (my apologies, error on my part)
 Version 2.2 () July 15 2008
Fixed redirect issue (display of UTF-8 in thank you redirect)

 Version 2.1 (Wed, June 04 2008)NOTE: WE HAVE A NEW LANGUAGE VARIABLE FOR DIGITALLY SIGNED S/MIME EMAILS. IF YOU CAN HELP WITH LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH AND SPANISH, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. 
added S/MIME functionality (ability to digitally sign emails)
BIG THANKS TO "sergiocambra" for posting this patch back in November 2007.
The "Signed Emails" functionality adds the Sign method to pass the private key
filename and the password to read it, and then email will be sent with
content-type multipart/signed and with the digital signature attached.
fully compatible with E_STRICT error level
- Please note:
  In about half the test environments this development version was subjected
  to, an error was thrown for the date() functions used (line 1565 and 1569).
  This is NOT a PHPMailer error, it is the result of an incorrectly configured
  PHP5 installation. The fix is to modify your 'php.ini' file and include the
  date.timezone = Etc/UTC (or your own zone)
  directive, to your own server timezone
- If you do get this error, and are unable to access your php.ini file:
  In your PHP script, add
  `date_default_timezone_set('Etc/UTC');`
- do not try to use
  `$myVar = date_default_timezone_get();`
  as a test, it will throw an error.
added ability to define path (mainly for embedded images)
function `MsgHTML($message,$basedir='')` ... where:
`$basedir` is the fully qualified path
fixed `MsgHTML()` function:
- Embedded Images where images are specified by `<protocol>://` will not be altered or embedded
fixed the return value of SMTP exit code ( pclose )
addressed issue of multibyte characters in subject line and truncating
added ability to have user specified Message ID
(default is still that PHPMailer create a unique Message ID)
corrected unidentified message type to 'application/octet-stream'
fixed chunk_split() multibyte issue (thanks to Colin Brown, et al).
added check for added attachments
enhanced conversion of HTML to text in MsgHTML (thanks to "brunny")
