Version 3.63 Nov 12, 2012

[SECURITY]
    - CR escaping for Set-Cookie and P3P headers was improved. There was potential
      for newline injection in these headers. 
      (Thanks to anazawa, https://github.com/markstos/CGI.pm/pull/23)

Version 3.62, Nov 9th, 2012

[INTERNALS]
    - Changed how the  deprecated endform function was defined for compatibilty
      with the development version of Perl. 
    - Fix failures in t/tmpdir.t when run as root
      https://github.com/markstos/CGI.pm/issues/22, RT#80659)

- Made it possible to force a sorted order for things like hash
      attributes so that tests are not dependent on a particular hash
      ordering. This will be required in modern perls which will
      change the ordering per process. (Yves, RT#80659)

Version 3.61 Nov 2nd, 2012

(No code changes)

[INTERNALS]
   - formatting of CGI::Carp documentation was improved. Thanks to benkasminbullock.
   - un-TODO some tests in t/tmpdir.t that were passing in most cases. 
     More on this:
       https://github.com/markstos/CGI.pm/issues/19#
       https://github.com/markstos/CGI.pm/commit/cc73dc9807b0fabb56b3cdf1a9726588b2eda0f7

Version 3.60 Aug 15th, 2012

[BUG FIXES]  
  - In some caes, When unescapeHTML() hit something it didn't recognize with an ampersand and
    and semicolon, it would throw away the semicolon and ampersand. It now does a better job.
    of preserving content it doesn't recognize. Thanks to CEBJYRE@cpan.org (RT#75595)
  - Remove trailing newline after <form> tag inserted by startform and start_form. It can
    cause rendering problems in some cases. Thanks to SJOHNSTON@cpan.org (RT#67719)
  - Workaround "Insecure Dependency" warning generated by some versions of Perl (RT#53733).
    Thanks to degatcpan@ntlworld.com, klchu@lbl.gov and Anonymous Monk

[DOCUMENTATION] 
  - Clarify that when -status is used, the human-readable phase should be included, per RFC 2616.
    Thanks to SREZIC@cpan.org (RT#76691).

[INTERNALS]
  - More tests for header(), thanks to Ryo Anazawa.
  - t/url.t has been fixed on VMS. Thanks to cberry@cpan.org (RT#72380)
  - MANIFEST patched so that t/multipart_init.t is included again. Thanks to shay@cpan.org (RT#76189)

Version 3.59 Dec 29th, 2011

[BUG FIXES]
 - We no longer read from STDIN when the Content-Length is not set, preventing
   requests with no Content-Length from freezing in some cases. This is consistent
   with the CGI RFC 3875, and is also consistent with CGI::Simple. However, the old
   behavior may have been expected by some command-line uses of CGI.pm.
   Thanks to Philip Potter and Yanick Champoux. See RT#52469 for details:
   https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=52469

[INTERNALS]
 - remove tmpdirs more aggressively. Thanks to rjbs (RT#73288)

 - spelling fixes. Thanks to Gregor Herrmann and Alessandro Ghedini.
 - fix test count and warning in t/fast.t. Thanks to Yanick.

Version 3.58 Nov 11th, 2011

[DOCUMENTATION]
    - Clarify that using query_string() only has defined behavior when using the GET method. (RT#60813)

Version 3.57 Nov 9th, 2011
    [INTERNALS]
    - test failure in t/fast.t introduced in 3.56 is fixed. (Thanks to zefram and chansen).
    - Test::More requirement has been bumped to 0.98

Version 3.56 Nov 8th, 2011

[SECURITY]
    Use public and documented FCGI.pm API in CGI::Fast
        CGI::Fast was using an FCGI API that was deprecated and removed from
        documentation more than ten years ago. Usage of this deprecated API with
        FCGI >= 0.70 or FCGI <= 0.73 introduces a security issue.
        <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68380>
        <http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-2766>
        (Thanks to chansen)

[INTERNALS]
    - tmp files are now cleaned up on VMS ( RT#69210, thanks to cberry@cpan.org )
    - Fixed test failure: done_testing() added to url.t (Thanks to Ryan Jendoubi)
    - Clarify preferred bug submission location in docs, and note that Mark Stosberg
      is the current maintainer.

Version 3.55 June 3rd, 2011

[THINGS THAT MAY BREAK YOUR CODE]
    url() was fixed to return "PATH_INFO" when it is explicitly requested 
    with either the path=>1 or path_info=>1 flag.

If your code is running under mod_rewrite (or compatible) and you are calling self_url() or
    you are calling url() and passing path_info=>1, These methods will actually be
    returning PATH_INFO now, as you have explicitly requested, or has self_url()
    has requested on your behalf.

The PATH_INFO has been omitted in such URLs since the issue was introduced
    in the 3.12 release in December, 2005.

This bug is so old your application may have come to depend on it or
    workaround it. Check for application before upgrading to this release.

Examples of affected method calls:

$q->url(-absolute => 1, -query => 1, -path_info => 1 ) 
     $q->url(-path=>1)
     $q->url(-full=>1,-path=>1) 
     $q->url(-rewrite=>1,-path=>1)
     $q->self_url();

Version 3.54, Apr 28, 2011

  - The DELETE HTTP verb is now supported. 
    (RT#52614, James Robson, Eduardo Ariï¿½o de la Rubia)

[INTERNALS]  
  - Correct t/tmpdir.t MANIFEST entry. (RT#64949)

Version 3.52, Jan 24, 2011
  
  [DOCUMENTATION]
  - The documentation for multi-line header handling was been updated to reflect

Version 3.51, Jan 5, 2011

[NEW FEATURES]  
  - A new option to set $CGI::Carp::TO_BROWSER = 0, allows you to explicitly  
    exclude a particular scope from triggering printing to the browser when
    fatatlsToBrowser is set. (RT#62783, Thanks to papowell) 
  - The <script> tag now supports the "charset" attribute. 
    (RT#62907, Thanks to Fabrice Metge)
  - In CGI::Cookie, "Max-Age" is now supported for better spec compliance. 
    (Mark Stosberg)

  - Setting charset() now works for all content types, not just "text/*". 
    (RT#57945, Thanks to Yanick and Gerv.)
  - support for user temporary directories ($HOME/tmp) was commented out
    in 2.61 but the documentation wasn't updated (Peter Gervai, Niko Tyni)
  - setting $CGITempFile::TMPDIRECTORY before loading CGI.pm has been
    working but undocumented since 3.12 (which listed it in Changes as
    $CGI::TMPDIRECTORY) (Peter Gervai, Niko Tyni)
  - unfortunately the previous change broke the runtime check for looking
    for a new temporary directory if the current one suddenly became

    the BEGIN phase of parent classes. 
    (RT#57224, Thanks to UNERA, Yanick Champoux, Mark Stosberg)
  - CGI::Cookie->new() now follows the documentation and returns undef 
    if the -name and -value args aren't provided. This new behavior is also
    consistent with the docs and code of CGI::Simple::Cookie. (Mark Stosberg)
  - CGI::Cookie->parse() now trims leading and trailing whitespace from cookie  
    elements as intended. The change also makes this part of the parsing 
    identical to CGI::Simple::Cookie (Mark Stosberg) 
  - Temp file handling was improved (RT#62762)

[SECURITY]
  - Further improvements have been made to guard against newline injections
    in headers. (Thanks to Max Kanat-Alexander, Yanick Champoux, Mark Stosberg)

[PERFORMANCE]
  - Make EBCDIC a compile-time constant so there's zero overhead (and less
    compiled code) in subroutines that test for it. (Tim Bunce) 
  - If you just want to use CGI::Cookie, CGI.pm will no longer be loaded
    unless you call the bake() method, which requires it. (Mark Stosberg)

[DOCUMENTATION]
  - quit referring to the <link> tag as being "rarely used".  (Victor Sanders)
  - typo and whitespace fixes (RT#62785, thanks to  scop@cpan.org)

    (RT#60473, Thanks to giecrilj and steve@fisharerojo.org) 
  - CGI::Carp doc are updated to reflect that it can work with mod_perl 2.0. 
  - when creating a temporary file in the directory fails, the error message
    could indicate the root of the problem better (Peter Gervai, Niko Tyni)

  the CGI environment.
  2. image button alignment options were mistakenly being capitalized, causing xhtml validation to fail.

Version 3.23, Aug 23, 2006

1. Typo in upload() persisted, now fixed for real. Thanks to
  Emanuele Zeppieri for correct patch and regression test.

  4. Incorporated patch from BURAK@cpan.org to support HTTPcookies (CPAN bug 21019).

Version 3.20

1. Patch from David Wheeler for CGI::Cookie->bake(). Uses mod_perl headers_out->add()
	rather than headers_out->set().
  2. Fixed problem identified by Andrei Voronkov in which start_form() output was screwed
	up when initial argument begins with a dash and subsequent arguments do not.
  3. Quashed uninitialized variable warnings coming from script_name(), url() and other
        functions that require access to the PATH_INFO environment variable.

Version 3.19

1. Added patch from Stephen Frost that allows one to suppress use of the temp file that is
	created during uploads.
  2. Fixed problem noted by Martin Foster in which regular expression meta-character terms
	in the path information were not quoted, causing URL parsing
	to fail on URLs that contained metacharacters (such as +).
  3. More fixes to the url() method.
  4. Removed "hack to fix broken PATH_INFO in MSII".

Version 3.18

1.  Doc typo fixes.
  2.  Patch from Steve Peters to default the document type to match the charset.
  3.  Fixed param() so that param(-name=>'foo',-values=>[]) sets the parameter to empty list.

Version 3.17, Feb 24, 2006

1. Added patch from Mike Hanafey which caused 0 arguments to CGI::Cookie->new() to
	be treated as empty.
   2. Patch to CGI::Carp from Peter Whaite to fix the unfixable problem of CGI::Carp
     not behaving correctly in an eval() context.
   3. CGI::Fast->new() calls CGI->_reset_globals to avoid contamination of one session
	with another's variables.
   4. Fixed upload failure on files that contain semicolons in their names.

Version 3.16, Feb 8, 2006

1. header() -charset option now works even when the MIME type is not "text".
   2. Fixed documentation for cookie() function and fastCGI.
   3. Upload filehandles now only closed automatically on Windows systems.
   4. Apache::Cookie compatibility fix from David Wheeler
   5. CGI::Carp->fatalsToBrowser() does not work correctly with
	mod_perl 2. No workaround is known.
   6. Fixed text status code associated with 302 redirects. Should be "Found"
	but was "Moved".
   7. Fixed charset in start_html() and header() to be in synch.

Version 3.15, Dec 7, 2005

1. Remove extraneous "?" from self_url() when URI contains a ? but no query string.

Version 3.14, Dec 6,  2005

1. Fixed broken scrolling_list() select attribute.

Version 3.13, Dec 4, 2005

1. Removed extraneous empty "?" from end of self_url().

Version 3.12, Dec 4, 2005

1. Fixed virtual_port so that it works properly with https protocol.
    2. Fixed documentation for upload_hook().
    3. Added POSTDATA documentation.
    4. Made upload_hook() work in function-oriented mode.
    5. Fixed POST_MAX behavior so that it doesn't cause client to hang.
    6. Disabled automatic tab indexes and added new -tabindex pragma to
	turn automatic indexes back on.
    7. The url() and self_url() methods now work better in the context of Apache
       mod_rewrite. Be advised that path_info() may give you confusing results
       when mod_rewrite is active because Apache calculates the path info *after*
       rewriting. This is mostly worked around in url() and self_url(), but you
       may notice some anomalies.
    8. Removed empty (and non-validating) <div> from code emitted by end_form().
    9. Fixed CGI::Carp to work correctly with Mod_perl 1.29 in an Apache 2 environment.
   10. Setting $CGI::TMPDIRECTORY should now be effective.

Version 3.11, Aug 3, 2005

1. Killed warning in CGI::Cookie about MOD_PERL_API_VERSION
    2. Fixed append() so that it works in function mode.
    3. Workaround for a bug that appears in Apache2 versions through 2.0.54
       in which SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO are incorrect if the additional path_info
       contains a double slash. This workaround will handle the common case of
       http://mysite.com/cgi-bin/log.cgi/http://www.some.other.site/args, but will
       not handle the uncommon case of a ScriptAlias directive that adds additional
       path information to the end of the translated URI.

Version 3.10, May 13, 2005

1. Added Apache2::RequestIO, which is necessary for mp2 interoperability.

Version 3.09, May 5, 2005

Version 3.07, Mar 14, 2005

1. Fixed typo in mod_perl detection.

Version 3.06, Mar 09, 2005

1. Fixed bare call to script() in start_html
    2. Moved Fh::DESTROY out of autoloaded functions so as to avoid
       clobbering $@ when CGI functions are executed in an eval{}
       context.
    3. mod_perl 2.0 version detection patch in CGI::Cookie provided by
       Allen Day.
    4. autoEscape() flag is now respected when generating extra
       attributes.

    7. Fix for lang='' when outputting XHTML.
    8. Added support for chunked transfer encoding, as suggested by
	Hakan Ardo
    9. Fixed clobbering of row and column headers in tableized radio
	and checkbox groups, as reported by Nicolas Thierry-Mieg.
   10. <Label> tags are now associated with form elements, as suggested
	by accessibility guidelines.
   11. The <?xml> directive produced by start_html is now turned off by
        default and the charset is specified in a <meta> directive.  Apparently
        IE6 (and maybe some versions of Opera) were getting confused by this.
   12. Support for tab indexes.
   13. Retired the HTML docs.  The POD docs are now primary documentation.
   14. CGI::Carp now correctly detects and handles Apache::Dispatch.
   15. CGI::Util::utf8_chr now correctly sets the UTF8 flag on 5.006 or
	higher perls (fix courtesy Slaven Rezic).

Version 3.05, Apr 12, 2004

       from command line.
    2. Fixed CGI::_set_attributes so that attributes with a - are handled
       correctly.
    3. Fixed CGI::Carp::die() so as to avoid problems from _longmess()
       clobbering @_.
    4. If HTTP_X_FORWARDED_HOST is defined (i.e. running under a proxy),
       the various functions that return HOST will use that instead.
    5. Fix for undefined utf8() call in CGI::Util.
    6. Changed the call to warningsToBrowser() in
       CGI::Carp::fatalsToBrowser to call only after HTTP header is sent
       (thanks to Didier Lebrun for noticing).
    7. Patches from Dan Harkless to make CGI.pm validatable against HTML
       3.2.
    8. Fixed an extraneous "foo=bar" appearing when extra style
       parameters passed to start_html;
    9. Fixed cross-site scripting bug in startform() pointed out by Dan
       Harkless.
   10. Fixed documentation to discuss list context behavior of
       form-element generators explicitly.
   11. Fixed incorrect results from end_form() when called in OO manner.
   12. Fixed query string stripping in order to handle URLs containing
       escaped newlines.
   13. During server push, set NPH to 0 rather than 1. This is supposed
       to fix problems with Apache.
   14. Fixed incorrect processing of multipart form fields that contain
       embedded quotes. There's still the issue of how to handle ones
       that contain embedded semicolons, but no one has complained (yet).
   15. Fixed documentation bug in -style argument to start_html()
   16. Added -status argument to redirect().

    1. Newlines in the value attributes of hidden fields and other form
       elements are now escaped when using ISO-Latin.

       This may break some browsers, but it no longer violates the HTML
       spec.

       other contexts.
    3. Fixed problems when passing multiple cookies.
    4. Suppress warnings from _tableize() that were appearing when using

       pages a default file name when saving to disk.

Version 2.66

1. 2.65 changes in make_attributes() broke HTTP header functions
       (including redirect), so made it context sensitive.

Version 2.65

1. Fixed regression tests to skip tests that require implicit fork on
       machines without fork().
    2. Changed make_attributes() to automatically escape any HTML
       reserved characters.
    3. Minor documentation fix in javascript example.

Version 2.64

1. Changes introduced in 2.63 broke param() when retrieving parameter
       lists containing only a single argument. This is now fixed.
    2. self_url() now defaults to returning parameters delimited with
       semicolon. Use the pragma -oldstyle_urls to get the old "&"
       delimiter.

Version 2.63

1. Fixed CGI::Push to pull out parameters correctly.
    2. Fixed redirect() so that it works with default character set
    3. Changed param() so as to returned empty string '' when referring

    3. Added charset() method and the -charset argument to header().
    4. Fixed behavior of escapeHTML() to respect charset() and to escape
       nasty Windows characters (thanks to Tom Christiansen).
    5. Handle REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING correctly.
    6. Removed use_named_parameters() because of dependency problems and
       general lameness.
    7. Fixed problems with bad HREF links generated by url(-relative=>1)
       when the url is like /people/.
    8. Silenced a warning on upload (patch provided by Jonas Liljegren)
    9. Fixed race condition in CGI::Carp when errors occur during parsing
       (patch provided by Maurice Aubrey).

       Later versions will be modularized and optimized.
    2. DOMAIN tag no longer added to cookies by default. This will break
       some versions of Internet Explorer, but will avoid breaking
       networks which use host tables without fully qualified domain
       names. For compatibility, please always add the -domain tag when
       creating cookies.
    3. Fixed escape() method so that +'s are treated correctly.
    4. Updated CGI::Pretty module.

Version 2.53

1. Forgot to upgrade regression tests before releasing 2.52. NOTHING
       ELSE HAS CHANGED IN LIBRARY

Version 2.52

1. Spurious newline in checkbox() routine removed. (courtesy John
       Essen)
    2. TEXTAREA linebreaks now respected in dump() routine. (courtesy
       John Essen)
    3. Patches for DOS ports (courtesy Robert Davies)
    4. Patches for VMS
    5. More fixes for cookie problems
    6. Fix CGI::Carp so that it doesn't affect eval{} blocks (courtesy
       Byron Brummer)

Version 2.51

1. Fixed problems with cookies not being remembered when sent to IE
       5.0 (and Netscape 5.0 too?)
    2. Numerous HTML compliance problems in cgi_docs.html; fixed thanks
       to Michael Leahy

Version 2.50

1. Added a new Vars() method to retrieve all parameters as a tied
       hash.
    2. Untainted tainted tempfile name so that script doesn't fail on
       terminal unlink.
    3. Made picking of upload tempfile name more intelligent so that
       doesn't fail in case of name collision.
    4. Fixed handling of expire times when passed an absolute timestamp.
    5. Changed dump() to Dump() to avoid name clashes.

Version 2.49

1. Fixes for FastCGI (globals not getting reset)
    2. Fixed url() to correctly handle query string and path under
       MOD_PERL

Version 2.48

1. Reverted detection of MOD_PERL to avoid breaking PerlEX.

Version 2.47

1. Patch to fix file upload bug appearing in IE 3.01 for
       Macintosh/PowerPC.
    2. Replaced use of $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} with $ENV{REQUEST_URI} when
       running under Apache, to fix self-referencing URIs.
    3. Fixed bug in escapeHTML() which caused certain constructs, such as
       CGI->image_button(), to fail.
    4. Fixed bug which caused strong('CGI') to fail. Be careful to use
       CGI::strong('CGI') and not CGI->strong('CGI'). The latter will
       produce confusing results.
    5. Added upload() function, as a preferred replacement for the
       "filehandle as string" feature.
    6. Added cgi_error() function.
    7. Rewrote file upload handling to return undef rather than dieing
       when an error is encountered. Be sure to call cgi_error() to find
       out what went wrong.

Version 2.46

1. Fix for failure of the "include" tests under mod_perl
    2. Added end_multipart_form to prevent failures during qw(-compile
       :all)

Version 2.45

1. Multiple small documentation fixes
    2. CGI::Pretty didn't get into 2.44. Fixed now.

Version 2.44

1. Fixed file descriptor leak in upload function.
    2. Fixed bug in header() that prevented fields from containing double
       quotes.
    3. Added Brian Paulsen's CGI::Pretty package for pretty-printing
       output HTML.
    4. Removed CGI::Apache and CGI::Switch from the distribution.
    5. Generated start_* shortcuts so that start_table(), end_table(),
       start_ol(), end_ol(), and so forth now work (see the docs on how
       to enable this feature).
    6. Changed accept() to Accept(), sub() to Sub(). There's still a
       conflict with reset(), but this will break too many existing
       scripts!

Version 2.43

1. Fixed problem with "use strict" and file uploads (thanks to Peter
       Haworth)
    2. Fixed problem with not MSIE 3.01 for the power_mac not doing file
       uploads right.
    3. Fixed problem with file upload on IIS 4.0 when authorization in
       use.
    4. -content_type and '-content-type' can now be provided to header()
       as synonyms for -type.
    5. CGI::Carp now escapes the ampersand BEFORE escaping the > and <
       signs.
    6. Fixed "not an array reference" error when passing a hash reference
       to radio_group().
    7. Fixed non-removal of uploaded TMP files on NT platforms which
       occurs when server runs on non-C drive (thanks to Steve Kilbane
       for finding this one).

Version 2.42

1. Too many screams of anguish at changed behavior of url(). Is now
       back to its old behavior by default, with options to generate all
       the variants.
    2. Added regression tests. "make test" now works.
    3. Documentation fixes.
    4. Fixes for Macintosh uploads, but uploads STILL do not work pending
       changes to MacPerl.

Version 2.41

1. url() method now includes the path info. Use script_name() to get
       it without path info().
    2. Changed handling of empty attributes in HTML tag generation. Be
       warned! Use table({-border=>undef}) rather than
       table({-border=>''}).
    3. Changes to allow uploaded filenames to be compared to other
       strings with "eq", "cmp" and "ne".
    4. Changes to allow CGI.pm to coexist more peacefully with
       ActiveState PerlEX.
    5. Changes to prevent exported variables from clashing when importing
       ":all" set in combination with cookies.

Version 2.40

1. CGI::Carp patched to work better with mod_perl (thanks to Chris
       Dean).
    2. Uploads of files whose names begin with numbers or the Windows
       \\UNC\shared\file nomenclature should no longer fail.
    3. The <STYLE> tag (for cascading style sheets) now generates the
       required TYPE attribute.
    4. Server push primitives added, thanks to Ed Jordan.
    5. Table and other HTML3 functions are now part of the :standard set.
    6. Small documentation fixes.

TO DO:
    1. Do something about the DTD mess. The module should generate
       correct DTDs, or at least offer the programmer a way to specify
       the correct one.
    2. Split CGI.pm into CGI processing and HTML-generating modules.
    3. More robust file upload (?still not working on the Macintosh?).
    4. Bring in all the HTML4 functionality, particular the accessibility
       features.

Version 2.39

1. file uploads failing because of VMS patch; fixed.
    2. -dtd parameter was not being properly processed.

Version 2.38

I finally got tired of all the 2.37 betas and released 2.38. The main
   difference between this version and the last 2.37 beta (2.37b30) are
   some fixes for VMS. This should allow file upload to work properly on
   all VMS Web servers.

Version 2.37, various beta versions

1. Added a CGI::Cookie::parse() method for lucky mod_perl users.
    2. No longer need separate -values and -labels arguments for
       multi-valued form elements.
    3. Added better interface to raw cookies (fix courtesy Ken Fox,
       kfox@ford.com)
    4. Added param_fetch() function for direct access to parameter list.
    5. Fix to checkbox() to allow for multi-valued single checkboxes
       (weird problem).
    6. Added a compile() method for those who want to compile without
       importing.
    7. Documented the import pragmas a little better.
    8. Added a -compile switch to the use clause for the long-suffering
       mod_perl and Perl compiler users.
    9. Fixed initialization routines so that FileHandle and type globs
       work correctly (and hash initialization doesn't fail!).
   10. Better deletion of temporary files on NT systems.
   11. Added documentation on escape(), unescape(), unescapeHTML() and
       unescapeHTML() subroutines.
   12. Added documentation on creating subclasses.
   13. Fixed problem when calling $self->SUPER::foo() from inheriting
       subclasses.
   14. Fixed problem using filehandles from within subroutines.
   15. Fixed inability to use the string "CGI" as a parameter.
   16. Fixed exponentially growing $FILLUNIT bug
   17. Check for undef filehandle in read_from_client()
   18. Now requires the UNIVERSAL.pm module, present in Perl 5.003_7 or
       higher.
   19. Fixed problem with uppercase-only parameters being ignored.
   20. Fixed vanishing cookie problem.
   21. Fixed warning in initialize_globals() under mod_perl.
   22. File uploads from Macintosh versions of MSIE should now work.
   23. Pragmas now preceded by dashes (-nph) rather than colons (:nph).
       Old style is supported for backward compatibility.
   24. Can now pass arguments to all functions using {} brackets,
       resolving historical inconsistencies.
   25. Removed autoloader warnings about absent MultipartBuffer::DESTROY.
   26. Fixed non-sticky checkbox() when -name used without -value.
   27. Hack to fix path_info() in IIS 2.0. Doesn't help with IIS 3.0.
   28. Parameter syntax for debugging from command line now more
       straightforward.
   29. Added $DISABLE_UPLOAD to disable file uploads.
   30. Added $POST_MAX to error out if POSTings exceed some ceiling.
   31. Fixed url_param(), which wasn't working at all.
   32. Fixed variable suicide problem in s///e expressions, where the
       autoloader was needed during evaluation.
   33. Removed excess spaces between elements of checkbox and radio
       groups
   34. Can now create "valueless" submit buttons
   35. Can now set path_info as well as read it.
   36. ReadParse() now returns a useful function result.
   37. import_names() now allows you to optionally clear out the
       namespace before importing (for mod_perl users)
   38. Made it possible to have a popup menu or radio button with a value
       of "0".
   39. link() changed to Link() to avoid overriding native link function.
   40. Takes advantage of mod_perl's register_cleanup() function to clear
       globals.
   41. <LAYER> and <ILAYER> added to :html3 functions.
   42. Fixed problems with private tempfiles and NT/IIS systems.
   43. No longer prints the DTD by default (I bet no one will complain).
   44. Allow underscores to replace internal hyphens in parameter names.
   45. CGI::Push supports heterogeneous MIME types and adjustable delays
       between pages.
   46. url_param() method added for retrieving URL parameters even when a
       fill-out form is POSTed.
   47. Got rid of warnings when radio_group() is called.
   48. Cookies now moved to their very own module.
   49. Fixed documentation bug in CGI::Fast.
   50. Added a :no_debug pragma to the import list.

Version 2.36

1. Expanded JavaScript functionality
    2. Preliminary support for cascading stylesheets
    3. Security fixes for file uploads:
          + Module will bail out if its temporary file already exists
          + Temporary files can now be made completely private to avoid
            peeking by other users or CGI scripts.
    4. use CGI qw/:nph/ wasn't working correctly. Now it is.
    5. Cookie and HTTP date formats didn't meet spec. Thanks to Mark
       Fisher (fisherm@indy.tce.com) for catching and fixing this.

Version 2.35

1. Robustified multipart file upload against incorrect syntax in
       POST.
    2. Fixed more problems with mod_perl.
    3. Added -noScript parameter to start_html().
    4. Documentation fixes.

Version 2.34

1. Stupid typo fix

Version 2.33

1. Fixed a warning about an undefined environment variable.
    2. Doug's patch for redirect() under mod_perl
    3. Partial fix for busted inheritence from CGI::Apache
    4. Documentation fixes.

Version 2.32

1. Improved support for Apache's mod_perl.
    2. Changes to better support inheritance.
    3. Support for OS/2.

       files.
    2. cookie() without any arguments returns all the cookies passed to a
       script.
    3. Removed annoying warnings about $ENV{NPH} when running with the -w
       switch.
    4. Removed operator overloading throughout to make compatible with
       new versions of perl.
    5. -expires now implies the -date header, to avoid clock skew.
    6. WebSite passes cookies in $ENV{COOKIE} rather than
       $ENV{HTTP_COOKIE}. We now handle this, even though it's O'Reilly's
       fault.
    7. Tested successfully against new sfio I/O layer.
    8. Documentation fixes.

Version 2.30

1. Automatic detection of operating system at load time.
    2. Changed select() function to Select() in order to avoid conflict
       with Perl built-in.
    3. Added Tr() as an alternative to TR(); some people think it looks
       better that way.
    4. Fixed problem with autoloading of MultipartBuffer::DESTROY code.
    5. Added the following methods:
          + virtual_host()
          + server_software()
    6. Automatic NPH mode when running under Microsoft IIS server.

Version 2.29

1. Fixed cookie bugs
    2. Fixed problems that cropped up when useNamedParameters was set to
       1.
    3. Prevent CGI::Carp::fatalsToBrowser() from crapping out when
       encountering a die() within an eval().
    4. Fixed problems with filehandle initializers.

Version 2.28

1. Added support for NPH scripts; also fixes problems with Microsoft
       IIS.
    2. Fixed a problem with checkbox() values not being correctly saved
       and restored.
    3. Fixed a bug in which CGI objects created with empty string
       initializers took on default values from earlier CGI objects.
    4. Documentation fixes.

Version 2.27

1. Small but important bug fix: the automatic capitalization of tag
       attributes was accidentally capitalizing the VALUES as well as the
       ATTRIBUTE names (oops).

Version 2.26

1. Changed behavior of scrolling_list(), checkbox() and
       checkbox_group() methods so that defaults are honored correctly.
       The "fix" causes endform() to generate additional <INPUT
       TYPE="HIDDEN"> tags -- don't be surpised.
    2. Fixed bug involving the detection of the SSL protocol.
    3. Fixed documentation error in position of the -meta argument in
       start_html().
    4. HTML shortcuts now generate tags in ALL UPPERCASE.
    5. start_html() now generates correct SGML header:
      <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">

Version 2.25

1. Fixed bug that caused bad redirection on destination URLs with
       arguments.
    2. Fixed bug involving use_named_parameters() followed by
       start_multipart_form()
    3. Fixed bug that caused incorrect determination of binmode for
       Macintosh.
    4. Spelling fixes on documentation.

Version 2.24

1. Fixed bug that caused generation of lousy HTML for some form
       elements
    2. Fixed uploading bug in Windows NT
    3. Some code cleanup (not enough)

Version 2.23

1. Fixed an obscure bug that caused scripts to fail mysteriously.
    2. Fixed auto-caching bug.
    3. Fixed bug that prevented HTML shortcuts from passing taint checks.
    4. Fixed some -w warning problems.

Version 2.22

1. New CGI::Fast module for use with FastCGI protocol. See pod
       documentation for details.
    2. Fixed problems with inheritance and autoloading.
    3. Added TR() (<tr>) and PARAM() (<param>) methods to list of
       exported HTML tag-generating functions.
    4. Moved all CGI-related I/O to a bottleneck method so that this can
       be overridden more easily in mod_perl (thanks to Doug MacEachern).
    5. put() method as substitute for print() for use in mod_perl.
    6. Fixed crash in tmpFileName() method.
    7. Added tmpFileName(), startform() and endform() to export list.
    8. Fixed problems with attributes in HTML shortcuts.
    9. Functions that don't actually need access to the CGI object now no
       longer generate a default one. May speed things up slightly.
   10. Aesthetic improvements in generated HTML.
   11. New examples.

Version 2.21

1. Added the -meta argument to start_html().
    2. Fixed hidden fields (again).
    3. Radio_group() and checkbox_group() now return an appropriate
       scalar value when called in a scalar context, rather than
       returning a numeric value!
    4. Cleaned up the formatting of form elements to avoid unesthetic
       extra spaces within the attributes.
    5. HTML elements now correctly include the closing tag when
       parameters are present but null: em('')
    6. Added password_field() to the export list.

Version 2.20

1. Dumped the SelfLoader because of problems with running with taint
       checks and rolled my own. Performance is now significantly
       improved.
    2. Added HTML shortcuts.
    3. import() now adheres to the Perl module conventions, allowing
       CGI.pm to import any or all method names into the user's name
       space.
    4. Added the ability to initialize CGI objects from strings and
       associative arrays.
    5. Made it possible to initialize CGI objects with filehandle
       references rather than filehandle strings.
    6. Added the delete_all() and append() methods.
    7. CGI objects correctly initialize from filehandles on NT/95 systems
       now.
    8. Fixed the problem with binary file uploads on NT/95 systems.
    9. Fixed bug in redirect().
   10. Added '-Window-target' parameter to redirect().
   11. Fixed import_names() so that parameter names containing funny
       characters work.
   12. Broke the unfortunate connection between cookie and CGI parameter
       name space.
   13. Fixed problems with hidden fields whose values are 0.
   14. Cleaned up the documentation somewhat.

Version 2.19

1. Added cookie() support routines.
    2. Added -expires parameter to header().
    3. Added cgi-lib.pl compatibility mode.
    4. Made the module more configurable for different operating systems.
    5. Fixed a dumb bug in JavaScript button() method.

Version 2.18

1. Fixed a bug that corrects a hang that occurs on some platforms
       when processing file uploads. Unfortunately this disables the
       check for bad Netscape uploads.
    2. Fixed bizarre problem involving the inability to process uploaded
       files that begin with a non alphabetic character in the file name.
    3. Fixed a bug in the hidden fields involving the -override directive
       being ignored when scalar defaults were passed.
    4. Added documentation on how to disable the SelfLoader features.

Version 2.17

1. Added support for the SelfLoader module.
    2. Added oodles of JavaScript support routines.
    3. Fixed bad bug in query_string() method that caused some parameters
       to be silently dropped.
    4. Robustified file upload code to handle premature termination by
       the client.
    5. Exported temporary file names on file upload.
    6. Removed spurious "uninitialized variable" warnings that appeared
       when running under 5.002.
    7. Added the Carp.pm library to the standard distribution.
    8. Fixed a number of errors in this documentation, and probably added
       a few more.
    9. Checkbox_group() and radio_group() now return the buttons as
       arrays, so that you can incorporate the individual buttons into
       specialized tables.
   10. Added the '-nolabels' option to checkbox_group() and
       radio_group(). Probably should be added to all the other
       HTML-generating routines.
   11. Added the url() method to recover the URL without the entire query
       string appended.
   12. Added request_method() to list of environment variables available.
   13. Would you believe it? Fixed hidden fields again!

Version 2.16

1. Fixed hidden fields yet again.
    2. Fixed subtle problems in the file upload method that caused
       intermittent failures (thanks to Keven Hendrick for this one).
    3. Made file upload more robust in the face of bizarre behavior by
       the Macintosh and Windows Netscape clients.
    4. Moved the POD documentation to the bottom of the module at the
       request of Stephen Dahmen.
    5. Added the -xbase parameter to the start_html() method, also at the
       request of Stephen Dahmen.
    6. Added JavaScript form buttons at Stephen's request. I'm not sure
       how to use this Netscape extension correctly, however, so for now
       the form() method is in the module as an undocumented feature. Use
       at your own risk!

Version 2.15

1. Added the -override parameter to all field-generating methods.
    2. Documented the user_name() and remote_user() methods.
    3. Fixed bugs that prevented empty strings from being recognized as
       valid textfield contents.
    4. Documented the use of framesets and added a frameset example.

Version 2.14

This was an internal experimental version that was never released.

Version 2.13

1. Fixed a bug that interfered with the value "0" being entered into
       text fields.

Version 2.01

1. Added -rows and -columns to the radio and checkbox groups. No
       doubt this will cause much grief because it seems to promise a
       level of meta-organization that it doesn't actually provide.
    2. Fixed a bug in the redirect() method -- it was not truly HTTP/1.0
       compliant.

Version 2.0

The changes seemed to touch every line of code, so I decided to bump
   up the major version number.
    1. Support for named parameter style method calls. This turns out
       to be a big win for extending CGI.pm when Netscape adds new HTML
       "features".
    2. Changed behavior of hidden fields back to the correct "sticky"
       behavior. This is going to break some programs, but it is for
       the best in the long run.
    3. Netscape 2.0b2 broke the file upload feature. CGI.pm now handles
       both 2.0b1 and 2.0b2-style uploading. It will probably break again
       in 2.0b3.
    4. There were still problems with library being unable to distinguish
       between a form being loaded for the first time, and a subsequent
       loading with all fields blank. We now forcibly create a default
       name for the Submit button (if not provided) so that there's
       always at least one parameter.
    5. More workarounds to prevent annoying spurious warning messages
       when run under the -w switch. -w is seriously broken in perl
       5.001!

Version 1.57

1. Support for the Netscape 2.0 "File upload" field.
    2. The handling of defaults for selected items in scrolling lists and
       multiple checkboxes is now consistent.

Version 1.56

1. Created true "pod" documentation for the module.
    2. Cleaned up the code to avoid many of the spurious "use of
       uninitialized variable" warnings when running with the -w switch.
    3. Added the autoEscape() method. v
    4. Added string interpolation of the CGI object.
    5. Added the ability to pass additional parameters to the <BODY> tag.
    6. Added the ability to specify the status code in the HTTP header.

Bug fixes in version 1.55

1. Every time self_url() was called, the parameter list would grow.
       This was a bad "feature".
    2. Documented the fact that you can pass "-" to radio_group() in
       order to prevent any button from being highlighted by default.

Bug fixes in version 1.54

1. The user_agent() method is now documented;
    2. A potential security hole in import() is now plugged.
    3. Changed name of import() to import_names() for compatibility with
       CGI:: modules.

Bug fixes in version 1.53

1. Fixed several typos in the code that were causing the following
       subroutines to fail in some circumstances
         1. checkbox()
         2. hidden()
    2. No features added

New features added in version 1.52

1. Added backslashing, quotation marks, and other shell-style escape
       sequences to the parameters passed in during debugging off-line.
    2. Changed the way that the hidden() method works so that the default
       value always overrides the current one.
    3. Improved the handling of sticky values in forms. It's now less
       likely that sticky values will get stuck.
    4. If you call server_name(), script_name() and several other methods
       when running offline, the methods now create "dummy" values to
       work with.

Bugs fixed in version 1.51

1. param() when called without arguments was returning an array of
       length 1 even when there were no parameters to be had. Bad bug!
       Bad!
    2. The HTML code generated would break if input fields contained the
       forbidden characters ">< or &. You can now use these characters
       freely.

New features added in version 1.50

1. import() method allows all the parameters to be imported into a
       namespace in one fell swoop.
    2. Parameters are now returned in the same order in which they were
       defined.

New features added in version 1.42

1. The image_button() method to create clickable images.
    2. A few bug fixes involving forms embedded in <PRE> blocks.

New features added in version 1.4

1. New header shortcut methods
          + redirect() to create HTTP redirection messages.
          + start_html() to create the HTML title, complete with the
            recommended <LINK> tag that no one ever remembers to include.
          + end_html() for completeness' sake.
    2. A new save() method that allows you to write out the state of an
       script to a file or pipe.
    3. An improved version of the new() method that allows you to restore
       the state of a script from a file or pipe. With (2) this gives you
       dump and restore capabilities! (Wow, you can put a "121,931
       customers served" banner at the bottom of your pages!)
    4. A self_url() method that allows you to create state-maintaining
       hypertext links. In addition to allowing you to maintain the state
       of your scripts between invocations, this lets you work around a
       problem that some browsers have when jumping to internal links in
       a document that contains a form -- the form information gets lost.
    5. The user-visible labels in checkboxes, radio buttons, popup menus
       and scrolling lists have now been decoupled from the values sent
       to your CGI script. Your script can know a checkbox by the name of
       "cb1" while the user knows it by a more descriptive name. I've
       also added some parameters that were missing from the text fields,
       such as MAXLENGTH.
    6. A whole bunch of methods have been added to get at environment
       variables involved in user verification and other obscure
       features.

Bug fixes

1. The problems with the hidden fields have (I hope at last) been
       fixed.
    2. You can create multiple query objects and they will all be
       initialized correctly. This simplifies the creation of multiple
       forms on one page.
    3. The URL unescaping code works correctly now.
