  • Session protection will only mark the session as not fresh if it's not already marked as such, avoiding modifying the session cookie unnecessarily. #612

Released on October 26th, 2016

  • Fixes OPTIONS exemption from login. #244
  • Fixes use of MD5 by replacing with SHA512. #264
  • BREAKING: The login_manager.token_handler function, get_auth_token method on the User class, and the utils.make_secure_token utility function have been removed to prevent users from creating insecure auth implementations. Use the Alternative Tokens example from the docs instead. #291

Version 0.3.2

Released on October 8th, 2015

  • Fixes Python 2.6 compatibility.
  • Updates SESSION_KEYS to include "remember".

Version 0.3.1

  • Fixes removal of non-Flask-Login keys from session object when using 'strong' protection.

Version 0.3.0

Released on September 10th, 2015

  • Fixes handling of X-Forward-For header.
  • Update to use SHA512 instead of MD5 for session identifier creation.
  • Fixes session creation for every view.
  • BREAKING: UTC used to set cookie duration.
  • BREAKING: Non-fresh logins now returns HTTP 401.
  • Support unicode user IDs in cookie.

  • Support for per-Blueprint login views.
  • BREAKING: The is_authenticated, is_active, and is_anonymous members of the user class are now properties, not methods. Applications should update their user classes accordingly.
  • Various other improvements including documentation and code clean up.

Version 0.2.11

Released on May 19th, 2014

  • Fixes missing request loader invocation when authorization header exists.

Version 0.2.10

Released on March 9th, 2014

  • Generalized request_loader introduced; ability to log users in via customized callback over request.
  • Fixes request context dependency by explicitly checking has_request_context.
  • Fixes remember me issues since lazy user loading changes.

Version 0.2.9

Released on December 28th, 2013

  • Fixes anonymous user assignment.
  • Fixes localization in Python 3.

Version 0.2.8

Released on December 21st 2013

  • Support login via authorization header. This allows login via Basic Auth, for example. Useful in an API presentation context.
  • Ability to override user ID method name. This is useful if the ID getter is named differently than the default.
  • Session data is now only read when the user is requested. This can be beneficial for cookie and caching control when differenting between requests that use user information for rendering and ones where all users (including anonymous) get the same result (e.g. static pages)
  • BREAKING: User must always be accessed through the current_user local. This breaks any previous direct access to _request_ctx.top.user. This is because user is not loaded until current_user is accessed.
  • Fixes unnecessary access to the session when the user is anonymous and session protection is active. see https://github.com/maxcountryman/flask-login/issues/120
  • Fixes issue where order dependency of applying the login manager before dependent applications was required. see https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-principal/issues/22
  • Fixes Python 3 UserMixin hashing.
  • Fixes incorrect documentation.
