What's new in Tornado 3.2.2

June 3, 2014

Security fixes


* The XSRF token is now encoded with a random mask on each request.
  This makes it safe to include in compressed pages without being
  vulnerable to the `BREACH attack <http://breachattack.com>`_.
  This applies to most applications that use both the ``xsrf_cookies``
  and ``gzip`` options (or have gzip applied by a proxy).

Backwards-compatibility notes
  • If Tornado 3.2.2 is run at the same time as older versions on the same domain, there is some potential for issues with the differing cookie versions. The .Application setting xsrf_cookie_version=1 can be used for a transitional period to generate the older cookie format on newer servers.

Other changes


* ``tornado.platform.asyncio`` is now compatible with ``trollius`` version 0.3.
