[ RELEASE NOTES ]
- CGI.pm is now considered "done". See also "mature" and "legacy"
Features requests and none critical issues will be outright rejected.
The module is now in maintenance mode for critical issues only.

- This release removes the AUTOLOAD and compile optimisations from CGI.pm
that were introduced into CGI.pm twenty (20) years ago as a response to
its large size, which meant there was a significant compile time penalty.

offending script in error messages

environment and not that fiddled with by CGI.pm (which is what query_string()
does) (GH #161)
- CGI::ENCODE_ENTITIES var added to control which chracters are encoded by the
call to the HTML::Entities module - defaults to &<>"\x8b\x9b' (GH #157)
- CGI now has env_query_string() for getting the value of QUERY_STRING from
the environment and not that fiddled with by CGI.pm (which is what
query_string() does) (GH #161)
- CGI::ENCODE_ENTITIES var added to control which chracters are encoded by
the call to the HTML::Entities module - defaults to &<>"' (GH #157 - the
\x8b and \x9b chars have been removed from this list as we are concerned
more about unicode compat these days than old browser support.)
