Hi, all.

I have released CGIExt 0.0.3.  
[http://rubyforge.org/projects/cgiext/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/cgiext/)

‘CGIExt’ is a re-implementation of ‘cgi.rb’ in C extension.  
It makes your web application faster.

Currently, not of all functions are implemented.

Notice: This module is still ‘alpha release’ and it’s specification  
may change in the future.

This release is for bugfix.

- Bugfix
  - CGI.escape() didn’t convert ’ ’ to ‘+’ in some cases
  - CGI.unescape() didn’t convert ‘+’ to ’ ’ in some cases
