Released 2021-05-11
app.json_encoder and json_decoder. #3555
encoding option to JSON functions is deprecated. #3562

SessionInterface.get_cookie_name to allow setting the session cookie name dynamically. #3369
Config.from_file to load config using arbitrary file loaders, such as toml.load or json.load. Config.from_json is deprecated in favor of this. #3398
flask run command will only defer errors on reload. Errors present during the initial call will cause the server to exit with the traceback immediately. #3431

FLASK_APP, keyword argument can be passed. #3553
.env or .flaskenv file, the current working directory is no longer changed to the location of the file. #3560
(response, headers) tuple from a view, the headers replace rather than extend existing headers on the response. For example, this allows setting the Content-Type for jsonify(). Use response.headers.extend() if extending is desired. #3628
Scaffold class provides a common API for the Flask and Blueprint classes. Blueprint information is stored in attributes just like Flask, rather than opaque lambda functions. This is intended to improve consistency and maintainability. #3215
samesite and secure options when removing the session cookie. #3726
pathlib.Path to static_folder. #3579
send_file and send_from_directory are wrappers around the implementations in werkzeug.utils. #3828

send_file passes download_name even if as_attachment=False by using Content-Disposition: inline. #3828
send_file sets conditional=True and max_age=None by default. Cache-Control is set to no-cache if max_age is not set, otherwise public. This tells browsers to validate conditional requests instead of using a timed cache. #3828
helpers.safe_join is deprecated. Use werkzeug.utils.safe_join instead. #3828
request.endpoint. #3776
|tojson filter. #3881

flask.json_available flag 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
Released 2019-07-04
Error handlers for InternalServerError or 500 will always be passed an instance of InternalServerError. If they are invoked due to an unhandled exception, that original exception is now available as e.original_exception rather than being passed directly to the handler. The same is true if the handler is for the base HTTPException. This makes error handler behavior more consistent. #3266
Flask.finalize_request is called for all unhandled exceptions even if there is no 500 error handler.Flask.logger takes the same name as Flask.name (the value passed as Flask(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. #2866
RequestContext.copy includes the current session object in the request context copy. This prevents session pointing to an out-of-date object. #2935
send_file supports PathLike objects as described in PEP 519, to support pathlib in Python 3. #3059
send_file supports BytesIO partial content. #2957

--extra-files option to the flask run CLI command to specify extra files that will trigger the reloader on change. #2897
text/html response, returning a dict will call jsonify to produce a application/json response. #3111
cli Click group like app.cli. CLI commands registered with a blueprint will be available as a group under the flask command. #1357.with client:), all preserved request contexts are popped when the block exits, ensuring nested contexts are cleaned up correctly. #3157
flask.testing.make_test_environ_builder() has been deprecated in favour of a new class flask.testing.EnvironBuilder. #3232
flask run command no longer fails if Python is not built with SSL support. Using the --cert option will show an appropriate error message. #3211
Released 2019-07-04
BadRequestKeyError is no longer cleared outside debug mode, so error handlers can still access it. This requires upgrading to Werkzeug 0.15.5. #3249
send_file url quotes the “:” and “/” characters for more compatible UTF-8 filename support in some browsers. #3074
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
FlaskGroup to set the debug flag without it always being overwritten based on environment variables. #2765
flask --version outputs Werkzeug’s version and simplifies the Python version. #2825
send_file handles an attachment_filename that is a native Python 2 string (bytes) with UTF-8 coded bytes. #2933
HTTPException will not handle RoutingException, which is used internally during routing. This fixes the unexpected behavior that had been introduced in 1.0. #2986
json argument to app.test_client does not push/pop an extra app context. #2900
Released 2018-05-02
Released 2018-04-29
__name__) as view functions. #2730
url_prefix and a route URL are merged. This fixes some backwards compatibility issues with the change in 1.0. #2731, #2742
BadRequestKeyError errors in debug mode, not all BadRequest errors. This allows abort(400) to continue working as expected. #2735
FLASK_SKIP_DOTENV environment variable can be set to 1 to skip automatically loading dotenv files. #2722
Released 2018-04-26
app.run when a Flask application is run from the command line. This avoids some behavior that was confusing to debug.JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULAR to False. ~json.jsonify returns a compact format by default, and an indented format in debug mode. #2193

Flask.jinja_env was already accessed. #2373
The following old deprecated code was removed. #2385
flask.ext - import extensions directly by their name instead of through the flask.ext namespace. For example, import flask.ext.sqlalchemy becomes import flask_sqlalchemy.Flask.init_jinja_globals - extend Flask.create_jinja_environment instead.Flask.error_handlers - tracked by Flask.error_handler_spec, use Flask.errorhandler to register handlers.Flask.request_globals_class - use Flask.app_ctx_globals_class instead.Flask.static_path - use Flask.static_url_path instead.Request.module - use Request.blueprint instead.Request.json property is no longer deprecated. #1421

flask command and Flask.run will load environment variables from .env and .flaskenv files if python-dotenv is installed. #2416
PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME. #2430
Flask.logger has been simplified. LOGGER_NAME and LOGGER_HANDLER_POLICY config was removed. The logger is always named flask.app. The level is only set on first access, it doesn’t check Flask.debug each time. Only one format is used, not different ones depending on Flask.debug. No handlers are removed, and a handler is only added if no handlers are already configured. #2436
ValueError caused by invalid Range requests in some cases. #2526

url_prefix when it is registered with the app. #2629
Request.get_json doesn’t cache the result if parsing fails when silent is true. #2651
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. #2691

This introduces a security risk in ancient browsers.**kwargs to Flask.test_client to support passing additional keyword arguments to the constructor of Flask.test_client_class.SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUEST config key that controls the set-cookie behavior. If set to True a permanent session will be refreshed each request and get their lifetime extended, if set to False it 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.(response,

This is recommended over the old flask.run() method as it works faster and more reliable due to a different design and also replaces Flask-Script.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.Config.from_mapping.LOGGER_HANDLER_POLICY configuration key.EXPLAIN_TEMPLATE_LOADING config flag which when enabled will instruct Flask to explain how it locates templates. This should help users debug when the wrong templates are loaded.request.json in favour of request.get_json().JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULAR=False by removing unnecessary white space included by default after separators.OPTIONS method is now correctly disabled if the user registered an overriding rule with the lowercase-version options. #1288

|tojson was 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.Released 2013-06-13, codename Limoncello
template_test methods in addition to the already existing template_filter method family.template_global methods in addition to the already existing template_filter method family.tojson filter now does not escape script blocks in HTML5 parsers.tojson used in templates is now safe by default. This was allowed due to the different escaping behavior.flask.session module alias. Use flask.sessions instead to get the session module. This is not to be confused with flask.session the session proxy.request, session and g objects will not be available and blueprint’s context processors are not called.flask.json.dumps to return bytes by default.flask.g is now stored on the app context instead of the request context.flask.g now gained a get() method for not erroring out on non existing items.flask.g now can be used with the in operator to see what’s defined and it now is iterable and will yield all attributes stored.flask.Flask.request_globals_class got renamed to flask.Flask.app_ctx_globals_class which is a better name to what it does since 0.10.request, session and g are 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.message_flashed signal that simplifies flashing testing.JSONIFY_PRETTYPRINT_REGULAR configuration variable.appcontext_pushed and appcontext_popped signals.SERVER_NAME into account when picking the default port to run on.flask.request.get_json() as a replacement for the old flask.request.json property.Released 2012-07-01, codename Campari
Request.on_json_loading_failed now returns a JSON formatted response by default.url_for function now can generate anchors to the generated links.url_for function now can also explicitly generate URL rules specific to a given HTTP method.werkzeug.request will be None after the response was returned to the WSGI server but has the advantage that the garbage collector is not needed on CPython to tear down the request unless the user created circular dependencies themselves.Flask class will avoid importing the provided import name if it can (the required first parameter), to benefit tools which build Flask instances programmatically. The Flask class will fall back to using import on systems with custom module hooks, e.g. Google App Engine, or when the import name is inside a zip archive (usually an egg) prior to Python 2.7.Blueprint.app_template_filter.Flask.add_template_filter and Blueprint.add_app_template_filter.get_flashed_messages function now allows rendering flashed message categories in separate blocks, through a category_filter argument.Flask.run method now accepts None for host and port arguments, using default values when None. This allows for calling run using configuration values, e.g. app.run(app.config.get('MYHOST'), app.config.get('MYPORT')), with proper behavior whether or not a config file is provided.render_template method now accepts a either an iterable of template names or a single template name. Previously, it only accepted a single template name. On an iterable, the first template found is rendered.Flask.app_context which works very similar to the request context but only provides access to the current application. This also adds support for URL generation without an active request context.Response.
