Sourced from mime-types's changelog.

3.7.0 / 2025-05-07

• Deprecated MIME::Type#priority_compare. In a future release, this will be will be renamed to MIME::Type#<=>. This method is used in tight loops, so there is no warning message for either MIME::Type#priority_compare or MIME::Type#<=>.

• Improved the performance of sorting by eliminating the complex comparison flow from MIME::Type#priority_compare. The old version shows under 600 i/s, and the new version shows over 900 i/s. In sorting the full set of MIME data, there are three differences between the old and new versions; after comparison, these differences are considered acceptable.

• Simplified the default compare implementation (MIME::Type#<=>) to use the new MIME::Type#priority_compare operation and simplify the fallback to String comparison. This may result in exceptions where there had been none, as explicit support for several special values (which should have caused errors in any case) have been removed.

• When sorting the result of MIME::Types#type_for, provided a priority boost if one of the target extensions is the type's preferred extension. This means that for the case in #148[issue-148], when getting the type for foo.webm, the type video/webm will be returned before the type audio/webm, because .webm is the preferred extension for video/webm but not audio/webm (which has a preferred extension of .weba). Added tests to ensure MIME types are retrieved in a stable order (which is alphabetical).
