Released on July 27th 2010, codename Whisky

- after request functions are now called in reverse order of
registration.
- OPTIONS is now automatically implemented by Flask unless the
application explicitly adds 'OPTIONS' as method to the URL rule.
In this case no automatic OPTIONS handling kicks in.
- static rules are now even in place if there is no static folder
for the module. This was implemented to aid GAE which will
remove the static folder if it's part of a mapping in the .yml
file.
- the :attr:`~flask.Flask.config` is now available in the templates
as `config`.
- context processors will no longer override values passed directly
to the render function.
- added the ability to limit the incoming request data with the
new ``MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH`` configuration value.
- the endpoint for the :meth:`flask.Module.add_url_rule` method
is now optional to be consistent with the function of the
same name on the application object.
- added a :func:`flask.make_response` function that simplifies
creating response object instances in views.
- added signalling support based on blinker. This feature is currently
optional and supposed to be used by extensions and applications. If
you want to use it, make sure to have `blinker`_ installed.
- refactored the way URL adapters are created. This process is now
fully customizable with the :meth:`~flask.Flask.create_url_adapter`
method.
- modules can now register for a subdomain instead of just an URL
prefix. This makes it possible to bind a whole module to a
configurable subdomain.

- fixes an issue with template loading from directories when modules
where used.

Released on July 6th 2010, codename Calvados

- 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- autoescaping is no longer active for all templates.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 behavior can be changed with the
``autoescape`` tag.
- refactored Flask internally. It now consists of more than a
single file.
- :func:`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 behavior.
- added support for per-package 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.

Released on June 18th 2010, codename Rakia

- added the ability to register application wide error handlers
from modules.
- :meth:`~flask.Flask.after_request` handlers are now also invoked
if the request dies with an exception and an error handling page
kicks in.
- test client has the ability to preserve the request context
for a little longer. This can also be used to trigger custom
requests that do not pop the request stack for testing.
- because the Python standard library caches loggers, the name of
the logger is configurable now to better support unittests.
- added ``TESTING`` switch that can activate unittesting helpers.
- the logger switches to ``DEBUG`` mode now if debug is enabled.
