+ 1. Fixed typo in mod_perl detection.
+
+ Version 3.06
+
+ 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.

+ 6. Support for can() method provided by Ron Savage.
+ 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

+ 1. Fixed uninitialized variable warning on start_form() when running
+ from command line.
+ 2. Fixed CGI::_set_attributes so that attributes with a - are handled
+ correctly.

+ 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

+ to fix problems with Apache.

+ embedded quotes. There's still the issue of how to handle ones
+ that contain embedded semicolons, but no one has complained (yet).

+ 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

+ 5. Changed dump() to Dump() to avoid name clashes.

+ 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.

+ "filehandle as string" feature.
+ 6. Added cgi_error() function.
+ 7. Rewrote file upload handling to return undef rather than dieing

+ 2. Added end_multipart_form to prevent failures during qw(-compile

+
+ 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

+ 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

+ Haworth)

+ to radio_group().

+
+ 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.

+ 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 compatability.
+ 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.
+
+ p
+
+ 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.
+
+ Version 2.31
+
+ 1. New uploadInfo() method to obtain header information from uploaded
+ 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">
+
+ 6. CGI::Carp no longer fails "use strict refs" pragma.
+
+ 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 compatability 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 compatability 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.
+
+ Bugs fixed in version 1.45
+
+ 1. delete() method didn't work correctly. This is now fixed.
+ 2. reset() method didn't allow you to set the name of the button.
+ Fixed.
+
+ Bugs fixed in version 1.44
+
+ 1. self_url() didn't include the path information. This is now fixed.
+
+ New features added in version 1.43
+
+ 1. Added the delete() method.
+
+ 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.
