The MIME::Types project is not dead! The release of MIME::Types 1.15
marks the last version that was synchronized in any way with the Perl
MIME::Types list. Future versions of MIME::Types will be synchronized
only with the IANA type list, but will also add many other features that
will significantly enhance the functionality and capability of
MIME::Types for Ruby.

The main changes made in this version are:

* MIME::Type (an instance of a single type) no longer has a separate
source file.
* The amount of meta-data about a MIME::Type has been increased.
Future versions of MIME::Types will include functionality that
increases the usability of this metadata.
