*Rails 3.0.0 [beta 2] (April 1st, 2010)*
* Added interceptors and observers from Mail [ML]
ActionMailer::Base.register_interceptor calls Mail.register_interceptor
ActionMailer::Base.register_observer calls Mail.register_observer
* Whole new API added with tests. See base.rb for full details. Old API is deprecated.
*Rails 3.0.0 [beta 1] (February 4, 2010)*
* The Mail::Message class has helped methods for all the field types that return 'common' defaults for the common use case, so to get the subject, mail.subject will give you a string, mail.date will give you a DateTime object, mail.from will give you an array of address specs (mikel@test.lindsaar.net) etc. If you want to access the field object itself, call mail[:field_name] which will return the field object you want, which you can then chain, like mail[:from].formatted
* Mail#content_type now returns the content_type field as a string. If you want the mime type of a mail, then you call Mail#mime_type (eg, text/plain), if you want the parameters of the content type field, you call Mail#content_type_parameters which gives you a hash, eg {'format' => 'flowed', 'charset' => 'utf-8'}
* ActionMailer::Base :default_implicit_parts_order now is in the sequence of the order you want, no reversing of ordering takes place. The default order now is text/plain, then text/enriched, then text/html and then any other part that is not one of these three.
* Mail does not have "quoted_body", "quoted_subject" etc. All of these are accessed via body.encoded, subject.encoded etc
* Every object in a Mail object returns an object, never a string. So Mail.body returns a Mail::Body class object, need to call #encoded or #decoded to get the string you want.
* Mail::Message#set_content_type does not exist, it is simply Mail::Message#content_type
* Every mail message gets a unique message_id unless you specify one, had to change all the tests that check for equality with expected.encoded == actual.encoded to first replace their message_ids with control values
* Mail now has a proper concept of parts, remove the ActionMailer::Part and ActionMailer::PartContainer classes
* Calling #encoded on any object returns it as a string ready to go into the output stream of an email, this means it includes the \r\n at the end of the lines and the object is pre-wrapped with \r\n\t if it is a header field. Also, the "encoded" value includes the field name if it is a header field.
* Attachments are only the actual attachment, with filename etc. A part contains an attachment. The part has the content_type etc. So attachments.last.content_type is invalid. But parts.last.content_type
* There is no idea of a "sub_head" in Mail. A part is just a Message with some extra functionality, so it just has a "header" like a normal mail message

This is especially useful for functional testing that shouldn't send off real emails, but still trigger delivery_* methods.
* Added option to specify delivery method with Base#delivery_method=. Default is :smtp and :sendmail is currently the only other option.
Sendmail is assumed to be present at "/usr/sbin/sendmail" if that option is used. [Kent Sibilev]

*0.3*
* First release
