-IP group range is more specific. Used to allow 0-299. Now it is 0-255
-Port range more specific. Used to allow 0-69999. Now it is 0-65535
-Fixed bug disallowing 'i-' option.
-Changed license to GPL
July 8th, 2004
-Fixed bug disallowing 'l-' option. Thanks Dr. Cheap
June 15, 2004
-Added options parameter to make it easier for people to plug the function in
without needed to rework the code.
-Split the example application away from the function
June 1, 2004
-Complete rewrite
-Now more modular
-Easier to disable sections
-Easier to port to other languages
-Easier to port to verify email addresses
-Uses only simple regular expressions so it is more portable
-Follows RFC closer for domain names. Some "play" domains may break
-Renamed from 'verifyUrl()' to 'validateUrlSyntax()'
-Removed extra code which added 'http://' and trailing '/' if it was missing
-That code was better suited for a massaging function, not verifying
-Bug fixes:
-Now splits up and forces '/path?query#fragment' order
-No longer requires a path when using a query or fragment
August 29, 2003
-Allowed port numbers above 9999. Now allows up to 69999
Sometime, 2002
-Added new top level domains
-aero, coop, museum, name, info, biz, pro
October 5, 2000
-First Version
Intentional Limitations:
-Does not verify url actually exists. Only validates the syntax
-Strictly follows the RFC standards. Some urls exist in the wild which will
not validate. Including ones with square brackets in the query section '[]'
Known Problems:
-None at this time

About ValidateEmailSyntax():
This function uses the ValidateUrlSyntax() function to easily check the
syntax of an email address. It accepts the same options as ValidateURLSyntax
but defaults them for email addresses.
Usage:
validateEmailSyntax( url_to_check[, options])
url_to_check - string - The url to check
options - string - A optional string of options to set which parts of
the url are required, optional, or not allowed. Each option
must be followed by a "+" for required, "?" for optional, or
"-" for not allowed. See ValidateUrlSyntax() docs for option list.
The default options are changed to:
s-H-S-E+F-u+P-a+I-p-f-q-r-
This only allows an address of "name@domain".
Examples:
validateEmailSyntax('george@fakemail.com')
validateEmailSyntax('mailto:george@fakemail.com', 's+')
validateEmailSyntax('george@fakemail.com?subject=Hi%20George', 'q?')
validateEmailSyntax('george@212.198.33.12', 'I?')
