2.9 Mon Jan 29 15:54:03 EST 2007

• New Feature: the new force_untaint option makes sure you do not pass tainted values to param(). [Sven Neuhaus]
• New Feature: Added ESCAPE=NONE as a synonym for ESCAPE=0. Fixed both to work with default_escape. [cpan@punch.net]
• Bug Fix: DEFAULT didn't work with URL and JS escaping.
• Bug Fix: Long-standing bug where variables set in a loop weren't available inside inner loops under global_vars if the variable wasn't actually used in the outer loop. (Thanks to Richard Fein for help debugging the fix.)
• Doc Fix: Changed references to CVS in the docs to Subversion now that the switch is complete.
• Test Fix: At long last, the work from the Phalanx project has been merged! The tests are now more complete and easier to work on. Thanks Phalanx guys!

2.8 Wed Dec 21 18:37:39 EST 2005

• New Feature: the new default_escape option allows you to apply escaping to all variables in a template. [Alex Kapranoff]
• Bug Fix: ESCAPE wasn't working on variables containing code-refs.
• Bug Fix: Changed HTML::Template to help sub-classes by called newfrom_loop() via ref($self) rather than hard-coding the package name. [Mark Stosberg]
• Bug Fix: Including more than one <tmpl_else> tag in <tmpl_unless> or <tmpl_unless> now dies with an error message, instead of silently ignoring one of the clauses. [Mitar and Mark Stosberg]
• Bug Fix: Fixed HTML::Template to re-evaluate conditions to handle <tmpl_else>. This bug could cause HTML::Template to take both branches of a conditional if a code-ref parameter returned a different value when called a second time. [Emanuele Zeppieri]

2.7 Thu Jun 24 12:00:00 2004

• New Feature: Added javascript escaping with ESCAPE=JS. (Craig Manley)

  during installation (i.e. Redhat 8 and 9).

• Bug Fix: Fixed parsing of ESCAPE='URL' (Paul Baker)
