  already marked as such, avoiding modifying the session cookie
  unnecessarily. #612

-------------

  Use the `Alternative Tokens` example from the docs instead. #291


Version 0.3.2
-------------

Released on October 8th, 2015

  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: Non-fresh logins now returns HTTP 401.
- Support unicode user IDs in cookie.
- Fixes user_logged_out signal invocation.
- Support for per-Blueprint login views.
- BREAKING: The `is_authenticated`, `is_active`, and `is_anonymous` members of

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.
