Changes for version 3.63

  • 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)
