livecheck.url containing semicolon

[Kevin Ballard]

It's not a bug. It's the fact that the semicolon character is treated  
the same as a newline, in that it separates commands. This is a Tcl  
language feature.

If you want a semicolon, either surround the entire value with double- 
quotes, or use a backslash to escape the semicolon.

livecheck.url  "${homepage}release/?C=M;O=D"
livecheck.url ${homepage}release/?C=M\;O=D
