Changes
Version 2.0.2
Unreleased
Version 2.0.1
Released 2021-05-21
- Re-add the
filenameparameter insend_from_directory. Thefilenameparameter has been renamed topath, the old name is deprecated. #4019 - Mark top-level names as exported so type checking understands imports in user projects. #4024
- Fix type annotation for
gand inform mypy that it is a namespace object that has arbitrary attributes. #4020 - Fix some types that weren’t available in Python 3.6.0. #4040
- Improve typing for
send_file,send_from_directory, andget_send_file_max_age. #4044, #4026 - Show an error when a blueprint name contains a dot. The
.has special meaning, it is used to separate (nested) blueprint names and the endpoint name. #4041 - Combine URL prefixes when nesting blueprints that were created with a
url_prefixvalue. #4037 - Roll back a change to the order that URL matching was done. The URL is again matched after the session is loaded, so the session is available in custom URL converters. #4053
- Re-add deprecated
Config.from_json, which was accidentally removed early. #4078 - Improve typing for some functions using
Callablein their type signatures, focusing on decorator factories. #4060 - Nested blueprints are registered with their dotted name. This allows different blueprints with the same name to be nested at different locations. #4069
register_blueprinttakes anameoption to change the (pre-dotted) name the blueprint is registered with. This allows the same blueprint to be registered multiple times with unique names forurl_for. Registering the same blueprint with the same name multiple times is deprecated. #1091- Improve typing for
stream_with_context. #4052
Version 2.0.0
Released 2021-05-11
- Drop support for Python 2 and 3.5.
- Bump minimum versions of other Pallets projects: Werkzeug >= 2, Jinja2 >= 3, MarkupSafe >= 2, ItsDangerous >= 2, Click >= 8. Be sure to check the change logs for each project. For better compatibility with other applications (e.g. Celery) that still require Click 7, there is no hard dependency on Click 8 yet, but using Click 7 will trigger a DeprecationWarning and Flask 2.1 will depend on Click 8.
- JSON support no longer uses simplejson. To use another JSON module, override
app.json_encoderandjson_decoder. #3555 - The
encodingoption to JSON functions is deprecated. #3562 - Passing
script_infoto app factory functions is deprecated. This was not portable outside theflaskcommand. Useclick.get_current_context().objif it’s needed. #3552 - The CLI shows better error messages when the app failed to load when looking up commands. #2741
- Add
sessions.SessionInterface.get_cookie_name()to allow setting the session cookie name dynamically. #3369 - Add
Config.from_file()to load config using arbitrary file loaders, such astoml.loadorjson.load.Config.from_json()is deprecated in favor of this. #3398 - The
flask runcommand will only defer errors on reload. Errors present during the initial call will cause the server to exit with the traceback immediately. #3431 send_file()raises aValueErrorwhen passed anioobject in text mode. Previously, it would respond with 200 OK and an empty file. #3358- When using ad-hoc certificates, check for the cryptography library instead of PyOpenSSL. #3492
- When specifying a factory function with
FLASK_APP, keyword argument can be passed. #3553 - When loading a
.envor.flaskenvfile, the current working directory is no longer changed to the location of the file. #3560 - When returning a
(response, headers)tuple from a view, the headers replace rather than extend existing headers on the response. For example, this allows setting theContent-Typeforjsonify(). Useresponse.headers.extend()if extending is desired. #3628 - The
Scaffoldclass provides a common API for theFlaskandBlueprintclasses.Blueprintinformation is stored in attributes just likeFlask, rather than opaque lambda functions. This is intended to improve consistency and maintainability. #3215 - Include
samesiteandsecureoptions when removing the session cookie. #3726 - Support passing a
pathlib.Pathtostatic_folder. #3579 send_fileandsend_from_directoryare wrappers around the implementations inwerkzeug.utils. #3828- Some
send_fileparameters have been renamed, the old names are deprecated.attachment_filenameis renamed todownload_name.cache_timeoutis renamed tomax_age.add_etagsis renamed toetag. #3828, #3883 send_filepassesdownload_nameeven ifas_attachment=Falseby usingContent-Disposition: inline. #3828send_filesetsconditional=Trueandmax_age=Noneby default.Cache-Controlis set tono-cacheifmax_ageis not set, otherwisepublic. This tells browsers to validate conditional requests instead of using a timed cache. #3828helpers.safe_joinis deprecated. Usewerkzeug.utils.safe_joininstead. #3828- The request context does route matching before opening the session. This could allow a session interface to change behavior based on
request.endpoint. #3776 - Use Jinja’s implementation of the
|tojsonfilter. #3881 - Add route decorators for common HTTP methods. For example,
@app.post("/login")is a shortcut for@app.route("/login", methods=["POST"]). #3907 - Support async views, error handlers, before and after request, and teardown functions. #3412
- Support nesting blueprints. #593, #1548, #3923
- Set the default encoding to “UTF-8” when loading
.envand.flaskenvfiles to allow to use non-ASCII characters. #3931 flask shellsets up tab and history completion like the defaultpythonshell ifreadlineis installed. #3941helpers.total_seconds()is deprecated. Usetimedelta.total_seconds()instead. #3962- Add type hinting. #3973.
Version 1.1.4
Released 2021-05-13
- Update
static_folderto use_compat.fspathinstead ofos.fspathto continue supporting Python < 3.6 #4050
Version 1.1.3
Released 2021-05-13
- Set maximum versions of Werkzeug, Jinja, Click, and ItsDangerous. #4043
- Re-add support for passing a
pathlib.Pathforstatic_folder. #3579
Version 1.1.2
Released 2020-04-03
- Work around an issue when running the
flaskcommand with an external debugger on Windows. #3297 - The static route will not catch all URLs if the
Flaskstatic_folderargument ends with a slash. #3452
Version 1.1.1
Released 2019-07-08
- The
flask.json_availableflag was added back for compatibility with some extensions. It will raise a deprecation warning when used, and will be removed in version 2.0.0. #3288
Version 1.1.0
Released 2019-07-04
- Bump minimum Werkzeug version to >= 0.15.
- Drop support for Python 3.4.
-
Error handlers for
InternalServerErroror500will always be passed an instance ofInternalServerError. If they are invoked due to an unhandled exception, that original exception is now available ase.original_exceptionrather than being passed directly to the handler. The same is true if the handler is for the baseHTTPException. This makes error handler behavior more consistent. #3266 -
Flask.finalize_request()is called for all unhandled exceptions even if there is no500error handler. Flask.loggertakes the same name asFlask.name(the value passed asFlask(import_name). This reverts 1.0’s behavior of always logging to"flask.app", in order to support multiple apps in the same process. A warning will be shown if old configuration is detected that needs to be moved. #2866flask.RequestContext.copy()includes the current session object in the request context copy. This preventssessionpointing to an out-of-date object. #2935- Using built-in RequestContext, unprintable Unicode characters in Host header will result in a HTTP 400 response and not HTTP 500 as previously. #2994
send_file()supportsPathLikeobjects as described in PEP 0519, to supportpathlibin Python 3. #3059send_file()supportsBytesIOpartial content. #2957open_resource()accepts the “rt” file mode. This still does the same thing as “r”. #3163- The
MethodView.methodsattribute set in a base class is used by subclasses. #3138 Flask.jinja_optionsis adictinstead of anImmutableDictto allow easier configuration. Changes must still be made before creating the environment. #3190- Flask’s
JSONMixinfor the request and response wrappers was moved into Werkzeug. Use Werkzeug’s version with Flask-specific support. This bumps the Werkzeug dependency to >= 0.15. #3125 - The
flaskcommand entry point is simplified to take advantage of Werkzeug 0.15’s better reloader support. This bumps the Werkzeug dependency to >= 0.15. #3022 - Support
static_url_paththat ends with a forward slash. #3134 - Support empty
static_folderwithout requiring setting an emptystatic_url_pathas well. #3124 jsonify()supportsdataclasses.dataclassobjects. #3195- Allow customizing the
Flask.url_map_classused for routing. #3069 - The development server port can be set to 0, which tells the OS to pick an available port. #2926
- The return value from
cli.load_dotenv()is more consistent with the documentation. It will returnFalseif python-dotenv is not installed, or if the given path isn’t a file. #2937 - Signaling support has a stub for the
connect_viamethod when the Blinker library is not installed. #3208 - Add an
--extra-filesoption to theflask runCLI command to specify extra files that will trigger the reloader on change. #2897 - Allow returning a dictionary from a view function. Similar to how returning a string will produce a
text/htmlresponse, returning a dict will calljsonifyto produce aapplication/jsonresponse. #3111 - Blueprints have a
cliClick group likeapp.cli. CLI commands registered with a blueprint will be available as a group under theflaskcommand. #1357. - When using the test client as a context manager (
with client:), all preserved request contexts are popped when the block exits, ensuring nested contexts are cleaned up correctly. #3157 - Show a better error message when the view return type is not supported. #3214
flask.testing.make_test_environ_builder()has been deprecated in favour of a new classflask.testing.EnvironBuilder. #3232- The
flask runcommand no longer fails if Python is not built with SSL support. Using the--certoption will show an appropriate error message. #3211 - URL matching now occurs after the request context is pushed, rather than when it’s created. This allows custom URL converters to access the app and request contexts, such as to query a database for an id. #3088
Version 1.0.4
Released 2019-07-04
- The key information for
BadRequestKeyErroris no longer cleared outside debug mode, so error handlers can still access it. This requires upgrading to Werkzeug 0.15.5. #3249 send_fileurl quotes the “:” and “/” characters for more compatible UTF-8 filename support in some browsers. #3074- Fixes for PEP451 import loaders and pytest 5.x. #3275
- Show message about dotenv on stderr instead of stdout. #3285
Version 1.0.3
Released 2019-05-17
send_file()encodes filenames as ASCII instead of Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). This fixes compatibility with Gunicorn, which is stricter about header encodings than PEP 3333. #2766- Allow custom CLIs using
FlaskGroupto set the debug flag without it always being overwritten based on environment variables. #2765 flask --versionoutputs Werkzeug’s version and simplifies the Python version. #2825send_file()handles anattachment_filenamethat is a native Python 2 string (bytes) with UTF-8 coded bytes. #2933- A catch-all error handler registered for
HTTPExceptionwill not handleRoutingException, which is used internally during routing. This fixes the unexpected behavior that had been introduced in 1.0. #2986 - Passing the
jsonargument toapp.test_clientdoes not push/pop an extra app context. #2900
Version 1.0.2
Released 2018-05-02
- Fix more backwards compatibility issues with merging slashes between a blueprint prefix and route. #2748
- Fix error with
flask routescommand when there are no routes. #2751
Version 1.0.1
Released 2018-04-29
- Fix registering partials (with no
__name__) as view functions. #2730 - Don’t treat lists returned from view functions the same as tuples. Only tuples are interpreted as response data. #2736
- Extra slashes between a blueprint’s
url_prefixand a route URL are merged. This fixes some backwards compatibility issues with the change in 1.0. #2731, #2742 - Only trap
BadRequestKeyErrorerrors in debug mode, not allBadRequesterrors. This allowsabort(400)to continue working as expected. #2735 - The
FLASK_SKIP_DOTENVenvironment variable can be set to1to skip automatically loading dotenv files. #2722
Version 1.0
Released 2018-04-26
- Python 2.6 and 3.3 are no longer supported.
- Bump minimum dependency versions to the latest stable versions: Werkzeug >= 0.14, Jinja >= 2.10, itsdangerous >= 0.24, Click >= 5.1. #2586
- Skip
app.runwhen a Flask application is run from the command line. This avoids some behavior that was confusing to debug. - Change the default for
JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULARtoFalse.jsonify()returns a compact format by default, and an indented format in debug mode. #2193 Flask.__init__accepts thehost_matchingargument and sets it onurl_map. #1559Flask.__init__accepts thestatic_hostargument and passes it as thehostargument when defining the static route. #1559send_file()supports Unicode inattachment_filename. #2223- Pass
_schemeargument fromurl_for()tohandle_url_build_error(). #2017 add_url_rule()accepts theprovide_automatic_optionsargument to disable adding theOPTIONSmethod. #1489MethodViewsubclasses inherit method handlers from base classes. #1936- Errors caused while opening the session at the beginning of the request are handled by the app’s error handlers. #2254
- Blueprints gained
json_encoderandjson_decoderattributes to override the app’s encoder and decoder. #1898 Flask.make_response()raisesTypeErrorinstead ofValueErrorfor bad response types. The error messages have been improved to describe why the type is invalid. #2256- Add
routesCLI command to output routes registered on the application. #2259 - Show warning when session cookie domain is a bare hostname or an IP address, as these may not behave properly in some browsers, such as Chrome. #2282
- Allow IP address as exact session cookie domain. #2282
SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAINis set if it is detected throughSERVER_NAME. #2282- Auto-detect zero-argument app factory called
create_appormake_appfromFLASK_APP. #2297 - Factory functions are not required to take a
script_infoparameter to work with theflaskcommand. If they take a single parameter or a parameter namedscript_info, theScriptInfoobject will be passed. #2319 FLASK_APPcan be set to an app factory, with arguments if needed, for exampleFLASK_APP=myproject.app:create_app('dev'). #2326FLASK_APPcan point to local packages that are not installed in editable mode, althoughpip install -eis still preferred. #2414- The
Viewclass attributeprovide_automatic_optionsis set inas_view(), to be detected byadd_url_rule(). #2316 - Error handling will try handlers registered for
blueprint, code,app, code,blueprint, exception,app, exception. #2314 Cookieis added to the response’sVaryheader if the session is accessed at all during the request (and not deleted). #2288test_request_context()acceptssubdomainandurl_schemearguments for use when building the base URL. #1621- Set
APPLICATION_ROOTto'/'by default. This was already the implicit default when it was set toNone. TRAP_BAD_REQUEST_ERRORSis enabled by default in debug mode.BadRequestKeyErrorhas a message with the bad key in debug mode instead of the generic bad request message. #2348- Allow registering new tags with
TaggedJSONSerializerto support storing other types in the session cookie. #2352 - Only open the session if the request has not been pushed onto the context stack yet. This allows
stream_with_context()generators to access the same session that the containing view uses. #2354 - Add
jsonkeyword argument for the test client request methods. This will dump the given object as JSON and set the appropriate content type. #2358 - Extract JSON handling to a mixin applied to both the
RequestandResponseclasses. This adds theis_json()andget_json()methods to the response to make testing JSON response much easier. #2358 - Removed error handler caching because it caused unexpected results for some exception inheritance hierarchies. Register handlers explicitly for each exception if you want to avoid traversing the MRO. #2362
- Fix incorrect JSON encoding of aware, non-UTC datetimes. #2374
- Template auto reloading will honor debug mode even even if
jinja_envwas already accessed. #2373 -
The following old deprecated code was removed. #2385
-
flask.ext- import extensions directly by their name instead of through theflask.extnamespace. For example,import flask.ext.sqlalchemybecomesimport flask_sqlalchemy. Flask.init_jinja_globals- extendFlask.create_jinja_environment()instead.Flask.error_handlers- tracked byFlask.error_handler_spec, useFlask.errorhandler()to register handlers.Flask.request_globals_class- useFlask.app_ctx_globals_classinstead.Flask.static_path- useFlask.static_url_pathinstead.Request.module- useRequest.blueprintinstead.- The
Request.jsonproperty is no longer deprecated. #1421 - Support passing a
EnvironBuilderordicttotest_client.open. #2412 - The
flaskcommand andFlask.run()will load environment variables from.envand.flaskenvfiles if python-dotenv is installed. #2416 - When passing a full URL to the test client, the scheme in the URL is used instead of
PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME. #2430 Flask.loggerhas been simplified.LOGGER_NAMEandLOGGER_HANDLER_POLICYconfig was removed. The logger is always namedflask.app. The level is only set on first access, it doesn’t checkFlask.debugeach time. Only one format is used, not different ones depending onFlask.debug. No handlers are removed, and a handler is only added if no handlers are already configured. #2436- Blueprint view function names may not contain dots. #2450
- Fix a
ValueErrorcaused by invalidRangerequests in some cases. #2526 - The development server uses threads by default. #2529
- Loading config files with
silent=Truewill ignoreENOTDIRerrors. #2581 - Pass
--certand--keyoptions toflask runto run the development server over HTTPS. #2606 - Added
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITEto control theSameSiteattribute on the session cookie. #2607 - Added
test_cli_runner()to create a Click runner that can invoke Flask CLI commands for testing. #2636 - Subdomain matching is disabled by default and setting
SERVER_NAMEdoes not implicitly enable it. It can be enabled by passingsubdomain_matching=Trueto theFlaskconstructor. #2635 - A single trailing slash is stripped from the blueprint
url_prefixwhen it is registered with the app. #2629 Request.get_json()doesn’t cache the result if parsing fails whensilentis true. #2651Request.get_json()no longer accepts arbitrary encodings. Incoming JSON should be encoded using UTF-8 per RFC 8259, but Flask will autodetect UTF-8, -16, or -32. #2691- Added
MAX_COOKIE_SIZEandResponse.max_cookie_sizeto control when Werkzeug warns about large cookies that browsers may ignore. #2693 - Updated documentation theme to make docs look better in small windows. #2709
- Rewrote the tutorial docs and example project to take a more structured approach to help new users avoid common pitfalls. #2676
Version 0.12.5
Released 2020-02-10
- Pin Werkzeug to < 1.0.0. #3497
Version 0.12.4
Released 2018-04-29
- Repackage 0.12.3 to fix package layout issue. #2728
Version 0.12.3
Released 2018-04-26
Request.get_json()no longer accepts arbitrary encodings. Incoming JSON should be encoded using UTF-8 per RFC 8259, but Flask will autodetect UTF-8, -16, or -32. #2692- Fix a Python warning about imports when using
python -m flask. #2666 - Fix a
ValueErrorcaused by invalidRangerequests in some cases.
Version 0.12.2
Released 2017-05-16
- Fix a bug in
safe_joinon Windows.
Version 0.12.1
Released 2017-03-31
- Prevent
flask runfrom showing aNoAppExceptionwhen anImportErroroccurs within the imported application module. - Fix encoding behavior of
app.config.from_pyfilefor Python 3. #2118 - Use the
SERVER_NAMEconfig if it is present as default values forapp.run. #2109, #2152 - Call
ctx.auto_popwith the exception object instead ofNone, in the event that aBaseExceptionsuch asKeyboardInterruptis raised in a request handler.
Version 0.12
Released 2016-12-21, codename Punsch
- The cli command now responds to
--version. - Mimetype guessing and ETag generation for file-like objects in
send_filehas been removed. #104, :pr1849 - Mimetype guessing in
send_filenow fails loudly and doesn’t fall back toapplication/octet-stream. #1988 - Make
flask.safe_joinable to join multiple paths likeos.path.join#1730 - Revert a behavior change that made the dev server crash instead of returning an Internal Server Error. #2006
- Correctly invoke response handlers for both regular request dispatching as well as error handlers.
- Disable logger propagation by default for the app logger.
- Add support for range requests in
send_file. app.test_clientincludes preset default environment, which can now be directly set, instead of perclient.get.- Fix crash when running under PyPy3. #1814
Version 0.11.1
Released 2016-06-07
- Fixed a bug that prevented
FLASK_APP=foobar/__init__.pyfrom working. #1872
Version 0.11
Released 2016-05-29, codename Absinthe
- Added support to serializing top-level arrays to
flask.jsonify(). This introduces a security risk in ancient browsers. - Added before_render_template signal.
- Added
**kwargstoflask.Test.test_client()to support passing additional keyword arguments to the constructor offlask.Flask.test_client_class. - Added
SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUESTconfig key that controls the set-cookie behavior. If set toTruea permanent session will be refreshed each request and get their lifetime extended, if set toFalseit will only be modified if the session actually modifies. Non permanent sessions are not affected by this and will always expire if the browser window closes. - Made Flask support custom JSON mimetypes for incoming data.
- Added support for returning tuples in the form
(response, headers)from a view function. - Added
flask.Config.from_json(). - Added
flask.Flask.config_class. - Added
flask.Config.get_namespace(). - Templates are no longer automatically reloaded outside of debug mode. This can be configured with the new
TEMPLATES_AUTO_RELOADconfig key. - Added a workaround for a limitation in Python 3.3’s namespace loader.
- Added support for explicit root paths when using Python 3.3’s namespace packages.
- Added flask and the
flask.climodule to start the local debug server through the click CLI system. This is recommended over the oldflask.run()method as it works faster and more reliable due to a different design and also replacesFlask-Script. - Error handlers that match specific classes are now checked first, thereby allowing catching exceptions that are subclasses of HTTP exceptions (in
werkzeug.exceptions). This makes it possible for an extension author to create exceptions that will by default result in the HTTP error of their choosing, but may be caught with a custom error handler if desired. - Added
flask.Config.from_mapping(). - Flask will now log by default even if debug is disabled. The log format is now hardcoded but the default log handling can be disabled through the
LOGGER_HANDLER_POLICYconfiguration key. - Removed deprecated module functionality.
- Added the
EXPLAIN_TEMPLATE_LOADINGconfig flag which when enabled will instruct Flask to explain how it locates templates. This should help users debug when the wrong templates are loaded. - Enforce blueprint handling in the order they were registered for template loading.
- Ported test suite to py.test.
- Deprecated
request.jsonin favour ofrequest.get_json(). - Add “pretty” and “compressed” separators definitions in jsonify() method. Reduces JSON response size when
JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULAR=Falseby removing unnecessary white space included by default after separators. - JSON responses are now terminated with a newline character, because it is a convention that UNIX text files end with a newline and some clients don’t deal well when this newline is missing. This came up originally as a part of <https://github.com/postmanlabs/httpbin/issues/168>. #1262
- The automatically provided
OPTIONSmethod is now correctly disabled if the user registered an overriding rule with the lowercase-versionoptions. #1288 flask.json.jsonifynow supports thedatetime.datetype. #1326- Don’t leak exception info of already caught exceptions to context teardown handlers. #1393
- Allow custom Jinja environment subclasses. #1422
- Updated extension dev guidelines.
flask.gnow haspop()andsetdefaultmethods.- Turn on autoescape for
flask.templating.render_template_stringby default. #1515 flask.extis now deprecated. #1484send_from_directorynow raises BadRequest if the filename is invalid on the server OS. #1763- Added the
JSONIFY_MIMETYPEconfiguration variable. #1728 - Exceptions during teardown handling will no longer leave bad application contexts lingering around.
- Fixed broken
test_appcontext_signals()test case. - Raise an
AttributeErrorinflask.helpers.find_package()with a useful message explaining why it is raised when a PEP 302 import hook is used without anis_package()method. - Fixed an issue causing exceptions raised before entering a request or app context to be passed to teardown handlers.
- Fixed an issue with query parameters getting removed from requests in the test client when absolute URLs were requested.
- Made
@before_first_requestinto a decorator as intended. - Fixed an etags bug when sending a file streams with a name.
- Fixed
send_from_directorynot expanding to the application root path correctly. - Changed logic of before first request handlers to flip the flag after invoking. This will allow some uses that are potentially dangerous but should probably be permitted.
- Fixed Python 3 bug when a handler from
app.url_build_error_handlersreraises theBuildError.
Version 0.10.1
Released 2013-06-14
- Fixed an issue where
|tojsonwas not quoting single quotes which made the filter not work properly in HTML attributes. Now it’s possible to use that filter in single quoted attributes. This should make using that filter with angular.js easier. - Added support for byte strings back to the session system. This broke compatibility with the common case of people putting binary data for token verification into the session.
- Fixed an issue where registering the same method twice for the same endpoint would trigger an exception incorrectly.
Version 0.10
Released 2013-06-13, codename Limoncello
- Changed default cookie serialization format from pickle to JSON to limit the impact an attacker can do if the secret key leaks.
- Added
template_testmethods in addition to the already existingtemplate_filtermethod family. - Added
template_globalmethods in addition to the already existingtemplate_filtermethod family. - Set the content-length header for x-sendfile.
tojsonfilter now does not escape script blocks in HTML5 parsers.tojsonused in templates is now safe by default due. This was allowed due to the different escaping behavior.- Flask will now raise an error if you attempt to register a new function on an already used endpoint.
- Added wrapper module around simplejson and added default serialization of datetime objects. This allows much easier customization of how JSON is handled by Flask or any Flask extension.
- Removed deprecated internal
flask.sessionmodule alias. Useflask.sessionsinstead to get the session module. This is not to be confused withflask.sessionthe session proxy. - Templates can now be rendered without request context. The behavior is slightly different as the
request,sessionandgobjects will not be available and blueprint’s context processors are not called. - The config object is now available to the template as a real global and not through a context processor which makes it available even in imported templates by default.
- Added an option to generate non-ascii encoded JSON which should result in less bytes being transmitted over the network. It’s disabled by default to not cause confusion with existing libraries that might expect
flask.json.dumpsto return bytes by default. flask.gis now stored on the app context instead of the request context.flask.gnow gained aget()method for not erroring out on non existing items.flask.gnow can be used with theinoperator to see what’s defined and it now is iterable and will yield all attributes stored.flask.Flask.request_globals_classgot renamed toflask.Flask.app_ctx_globals_classwhich is a better name to what it does since 0.10.request,sessionandgare now also added as proxies to the template context which makes them available in imported templates. One has to be very careful with those though because usage outside of macros might cause caching.- Flask will no longer in
