cgbystrom·Jul 6, 2010
List of changes (from the mailing list) What's new: * fixed a bug with subdomains that was caused by the inability to specify the server name. The server name can now be set with the SERVER_NAME config key. This key is now also used to set the session cookie cross-subdomain wide. * autoescaping is no longer active for all templates. Instead it is only active for .html, .htm, .xml and .xhtml. Inside templates this behaviour can be changed with the autoescape tag. * refactored Flask internally. It now consists of more than a single file. * flask.send_file() now emits etags and has the ability to do conditional responses builtin. * (temporarily) dropped support for zipped applications. This was a rarely used feature and led to some confusing behaviour. * added support for per-pack

age template and static-file directories. * removed support for create_jinja_loader which is no longer used in 0.5 due to the improved module support. * added a helper function to expose files from any directory.
