  bleach.
- (:issue:`513`) Improve documentation of default username validation.

Version 4.1.0
-------------

Released July 23, 2021

Features
++++++++
- (:issue:`474`) Add public API and CLI command to change a user's password.
- (:issue:`140`) Add type hints. Please note that many of the packages that flask-security
  depends on aren't typed yet - so there are likely errors in some of the types.
- (:issue:`466`) Add first-class support for using username for signing in.

Fixes
+++++
- (:issue:`483`) 4.0 doesn't accept 3.4 authentication tokens. (kuba-lilz)
- (:issue:`490`) Flask-Mail sender name can be a tuple. (hrishikeshrt)
- (:issue:`486`) Possible open redirect vulnerability.
- (:pr:`478`) Improve/update German translation. (sr-verde)
- (:issue:`488`) Improve handling of Babel packages.
- (:pr:`496`) Documentation improvements, distribution extras, fix single message
  override.
- (:issue:`497`) Improve cookie handling and default ``samesite`` to ``Strict``.

Backwards Compatibility Concerns
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
- (:pr:`488`) In 4.0.0, with the addition of Flask-Babel support, Flask-Security enforced that
  if it could import either Flask-Babel or Flask-BabelEx, that those modules had
  been initialized as proper Flask extensions. Prior to 4.0.0, just Flask-BabelEx
  was supported - and that didn't require any explicit initialization. Flask-Babel
  DOES require explicit initialization. However for some applications that don't
  completely control their environment (such as system pre-installed versions of
  python) this caused applications that didn't even want translation services to
  fail on startup. With this release, Flask-Security still attempts to import
  one or the other package - however if those modules are NOT initialized,
  Flask-Security will simply ignore them and no translations will occur.
- (:issue:`497`) The CSRF_COOKIE and TWO_FACTOR_VALIDITY cookie had their defaults
  changed to set ``samesite=Strict``. This follows the Flask-Security goal of
  making things more secure out-of-the-box.
- (:issue:`140`) Type hinting. For the most part this of course has no runtime effects.
  However, this required a fairly major overhaul of how Flask-Security is initialized in
  order to provide valid types for the many constructor attributes. There are no known
  compatability concerns - however initialization used to convert all arguments into kwargs
  then add those as attributes and merge with application constants. That no longer happens
  and it is possible that some corner cases don't behave precisely as they did before.

Version 4.0.1
-------------

Fixes
+++++

Version 4.0.0
-------------

Released January 26, 2021

**PLEASE READ CHANGE NOTES CAREFULLY - THERE ARE LIKELY REQUIRED CHANGES YOU WILL HAVE TO MAKE TO EVEN START YOUR APPLICATION WITH 4.0**

Start Here
+++++++++++
- Your UserModel must contain ``fs_uniquifier``
- Either uninstall Flask-BabelEx (if you don't need translations) or add either Flask-Babel (>=2.0) or Flask-BabelEx to your
  dependencies AND be sure to initialize it in your app.
- Add Flask-Mail to your dependencies.
- If you have unicode emails or passwords read change notes below.

Version 4.0.0rc2
----------------

Released January 18, 2021

Features & Cleanup
+++++++++++++++++++
- Removal of python 2.7 and <3.6 support
- Removal of token caching feature (a relatively new feature that had some systemic issues)
- (:pr:`328`) Remove dependence on Flask-Mail and refactor.
- (:pr:`335`) Remove two-factor `/tf-confirm` endpoint and use generic `freshness` mechanism.
- (:pr:`336`) Remove ``SECURITY_BACKWARDS_COMPAT_AUTH_TOKEN_INVALID(ATE)``. In addition to
  not making sense - the documentation has never been correct.
- (:pr:`339`) Require ``fs_uniquifier`` in the UserModel and stop using/referencing the UserModel
  primary key.
- (:pr:`349`) Change ``SECURITY_USER_IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTES`` configuration variable semantics.
- Remove (all?) requirements around having an 'email' column in the UserModel. API change -
  JSON SPA redirects used to always include a query param 'email=xx'. While that is still sent
  (if and only if) the UserModel contains an 'email' columns, a new query param 'identity' is returned
  which returns the value of :meth:`.UserMixin.calc_username()`.
- (:pr:`382`) Improvements and documentation for two-factor authentication.
- (:pr:`394`) Add support for email validation and normalization (see :class:`.MailUtil`).
- (:issue:`231`) Normalize unicode passwords (see :class:`.PasswordUtil`).
- (:issue:`391`) Option to redirect to `/confirm` if user hits an endpoint that requires
  confirmation. New option :py:data:`SECURITY_REQUIRES_CONFIRMATION_ERROR_VIEW` which if set and the user
  hits the `/login`, `/reset`, or `/us-signin` endpoint, and they require confirmation the response will be a redirect. (SnaKyEyeS)
- (:issue:`366`) Allow redirects on sub-domains. Please see :py:data:`SECURITY_REDIRECT_ALLOW_SUBDOMAINS`. (willcroft)
- (:pr:`376`) Have POST redirects default to Flask's ``APPLICATION_ROOT``. Previously the default configuration was ``/``.
  Now it first looks at Flask's `APPLICATION_ROOT` configuration and uses that (which also by default is ``/``. (tysonholub)
- (:pr:`401`) Add 2FA Validity Window so an application can configure how often the second factor has to be entered. (baurt)
- (:pr:`403`) Add HTML5 Email input types to email fields. This has some backwards compatibility concerns outlined below. (drola)
- (:pr:`413`) Add hy_AM translations. (rudolfamirjanyan)
- (:pr:`410`) Add Basque and fix Spanish translations. (mmozos)
- (:pr:`408`) Polish translations. (kamil559)
- (:pr:`390`) Update ru_RU translations. (TitaniumHocker)

Fixed
+++++
- (:issue:`389`) Fixes for translations. First - email subjects were never being translated. Second, converted
  all templates to use _fsdomain(xx) rather than _(xx) so that they get translated regardless of the app's domain.
- (:issue:`381`) Support Flask-Babel 2.0 which has backported Domain support. Flask-Security now supports
  Flask-Babel (>=2.00), Flask-BabelEx, as well as no translation support. Please see backwards compatibility notes below.
- (:pr:`352`) Fix issue with adding/deleting permissions - all mutating methods must be at the datastore layer so that
  db.put() can be called. Added :meth:`.UserDatastore.add_permissions_to_role` and :meth:`.UserDatastore.remove_permissions_from_role`.
  The methods :meth:`.RoleMixin.add_permissions` and :meth:`.RoleMixin.remove_permissions` have been deprecated.
- (:issue:`395`) Provide ability to change table names for User and Role tables in the fsqla model.
- (:issue:`338`) All sessions are invalidated when a user changes or resets their password. This is accomplished by
  changing the user's `fs_uniquifier`. The user is automatically re-logged in (and a new session
  created) after a successful change operation.
- (:issue:`418`) Two-factor (and to a lesser extent unified sign in) QRcode fetching wasn't protected via CSRF. The
  fix makes things secure and simpler (always good); however read below for compatibility concerns. In addition, the elements that make up the QRcode (key, username, issuer) area also made available to the form
  and returned as part of the JSON return value - this allows for manual or other ways to initialize the authenticator
  app.
- (:issue:`421`) GET on `/login` and `/change` could return the callers authentication_token. This is a security
  concern since GETs don't have CSRF protection. This bug was introduced in 3.3.0.

Backwards Compatibility Concerns
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
- (:pr:`328`) Remove dependence on Flask-Mail and refactor. The ``send_mail_task`` and
  ``send_mail`` methods as part of Flask-Security initialization
  have been removed and replaced with a new :class:`.MailUtil` class.
  The utility method :func:`.send_mail` can still be used.
  If your application didn't use either of the deprecated methods, then the only change required
  is to add Flask-Mail to your package requirements (since Flask-Security no longer lists it).
  Please see the :ref:`emails_topic` for updated examples.

- (:pr:`335`) Convert two-factor setup flow to use the freshness feature rather than
  its own verify password endpoint. This COMPLETELY removes the ``/tf-confirm`` endpoint
  and associated form: ``two_factor_verify_password_form``. Now, when /tf-setup is invoked,
  the :meth:`flask_security.check_and_update_authn_fresh` is invoked, and if the current session isn't 'fresh'
  the caller will be redirected to a verify endpoint (either :py:data:`SECURITY_VERIFY_URL` or
  :py:data:`SECURITY_US_VERIFY_URL`). The simplest change would be to call ``/verify`` everywhere
  the application used to call ``/tf-confirm``.

- (:pr:`339`) Require ``fs_uniquifier``. In 3.3 the ``fs_uniquifier`` was added in the UserModel to fix
  the slow authentication token issue. In 3.4 the ``fs_uniquifier`` was used to implement Flask-Login's
  `Alternative Token` feature - thus decoupling the primary key (id) from any security context.
  All along, there have been a few issues with applications not wanting to use the name 'id' in their
  model, or wanting a different type for their primary key. With this change, Flask-Security no longer
  interprets or uses the UserModel primary key - just the ``fs_uniquifier`` field. See the changes section for 3.3
  for information on how to do the schema and data upgrades required to add this field. There is also an API change -
  the JSON response (via UserModel.get_security_payload()) returned the ``user.id`` field. With this change
  the default is an empty directory - override :meth:`.UserMixin.get_security_payload()` to return any portion of the UserModel you need.

- (:pr:`349`) :py:data:`SECURITY_USER_IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTES` has changed syntax and semantics. It now contains
  the combined information from the old ``SECURITY_USER_IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTES`` and the newly introduced in 3.4 :py:data:`SECURITY_USER_IDENTITY_MAPPINGS`.
  This enabled changing the underlying way we validate credentials in the login form and unified sign in form.
  In prior releases we simply tried to look up the form value as the PK of the UserModel - this often failed and then
  looped through the other ``SECURITY_USER_IDENTITY_ATTRIBUTES``. This had a history of issues, including many applications not
  wanting to have a standard PK for the user model. Now, using the mapping configuration, the UserModel attribute/column the input
  corresponds to is determined, then the UserModel is queried specifically for that *attribute:value* pair. If you application
  didn't change the variable, no modifications are required.

- (:pr:`354`) The :class:`flask_security.PhoneUtil` is now initialized as part of Flask-Security initialization rather than
  ``@app.before_first_request`` (since that broke the CLI). Since it isn't called in an application context, the *app* being initialized is
  passed as an argument to *__init__*.

- (:issue:`381`) When using Flask-Babel (>= 2.0) it is required that the application initialize Flask-Babel (e.g. Babel(app)).
  Flask-BabelEx would self-initialize so it didn't matter. Flask-Security will throw a run time error upon first request if Flask-Babel
  OR FLask-BabelEx
  is installed, but not initialized. Also, Flask-Security no longer has a dependency on either Flask-Babel or Flask-BabelEx - if neither
  are installed, it falls back to a dummy translation. *If your application expects translation services, it must specify the appropriate*
  *dependency AND initialize it.*

- (:pr:`394`) Email input is now normalized prior to being stored in the DB. Previously, it was validated, but the raw input
  was stored. Normalization and validation rely on the `email_validator <https://pypi.org/project/email-validator/>`_ package.
  The :class:`.MailUtil` class provides the interface for normalization and validation - allowing all this to be customized.
  If you have unicode local or domain parts - existing users may have difficulties logging in. Administratively you need to
  read each user record, normalize the email (see :class:`.MailUtil`), and write it back.

- (:issue:`381`) Passwords are now, by default, normalized using Python's unicodedata.normalize() method.
  The :py:data:`SECURITY_PASSWORD_NORMALIZE_FORM` defaults to "NKFD". This brings Flask-Security
  in line with the NIST recommendations outlined in `Memorized Secret Verifiers <https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html#sec5>`_
  If your users have unicode passwords
  they may have difficulty authenticating. You can turn off this normalization or have your users reset their passwords.
  Password normalization and validation has been encapsulated in a new :class:`.PasswordUtil` class. This replaces
  the method ``password_validator`` introduced in 3.4.0.

- (:pr:`403`) By default all forms that have an email as input now use the wtforms html5 ``EmailField``. For most applications this will
  make the user experience slightly nicer - especially for mobile devices. Some applications use the email form field for other
  identity attributes (such as username). If your application does this you will probably need to subclass ``LoginForm`` and change
  the email type back to StringField.

- (:issue:`338`) By default, both passwords and authentication tokens use the same attribute ``fs_uniquifier`` to
  uniquely identify the user. This means that if the user changes or resets their password, all authentication tokens
  also become invalid. This could be viewed as a feature or a bug. If this behavior isn't desired, add another
  uniquifier: ``fs_token_uniquifier`` to your UserModel and that will be used to generate authentication tokens.

- (:issue:`418`) Fix CSRF vulnerability w.r.t. getting QRcodes. Both two-factor and unified-signup had a separate
  GET endpoint to fetch the QRcode when setting up an authenticator app. GETS don't have any CSRF protection. Both
  of those endpoints have been completely removed, and the QRcode is embedded in a successful POST of the setup form.
  The changes to the templates are minimal and of course if you didn't override the template - there is no
  compatibility concern.

- (:issue:`421`) Fix CSRF vulnerability on `/login` and `/change` that could return the callers authentication token.
  Now, callers can only get the authentication token on successful POST calls.

Version 3.4.5
--------------

Released January 8, 2021

Security Vulnerability Fix.

Two CSRF vulnerabilities were reported: `qrcode`_ and `login`_. This release
fixes the more severe of the 2 - the `/login` vulnerability. The QRcode issue
has a much smaller risk profile since a) it is only for two-factor authentication
using an authenticator app b) the qrcode is only available during the time
the user is first setting up their authentication app.
The QRcode issue has been fixed in 4.0.

.. _qrcode: https://github.com/Flask-Middleware/flask-security/issues/418
.. _login: https://github.com/Flask-Middleware/flask-security/issues/421

Fixed
+++++

- (:issue:`421`) GET on `/login` and `/change` could return the callers authentication_token. This is a security
  concern since GETs don't have CSRF protection. This bug was introduced in 3.3.0.

Backwards Compatibility Concerns
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- (:issue:`421`) Fix CSRF vulnerability on `/login` and `/change` that could return the callers authentication token.
  Now, callers can only get the authentication token on successful POST calls.

Version 3.4.4
--------------

Released July 27, 2020

Bug/regression fixes.

Fixed
+++++

- (:issue:`359`) Basic Auth broken. When the unauthenticated handler was changed to provide a more
  uniform/consistent response - it broke using Basic Auth from a browser, since it always redirected rather than
  returning 401. Now, if the response headers contain  ``WWW-Authenticate``
  (which is set if ``basic`` @auth_required method is used), a 401 is returned. See below
  for backwards compatibility concerns.

- (:pr:`362`) As part of figuring out issue 359 - a redirect loop was found. In release 3.3.0 code was put
  in to redirect to :py:data:`SECURITY_POST_LOGIN_VIEW` when GET or POST was called and the caller was already authenticated. The
  method used would honor the request ``next`` query parameter. This could cause redirect loops. The pre-3.3.0 behavior
  of redirecting to :py:data:`SECURITY_POST_LOGIN_VIEW` and ignoring the ``next`` parameter has been restored.

- (:issue:`347`) Fix peewee. Turns out - due to lack of unit tests - peewee hasn't worked since
  'permissions' were added in 3.3. Furthermore, changes in 3.4 around get_id and alternative tokens also
  didn't work since peewee defines its own `get_id` method.

Compatibility Concerns
++++++++++++++++++++++

In 3.3.0, :meth:`flask_security.auth_required` was changed to add a default argument if none was given. The default
include all current methods - ``session``, ``token``, and ``basic``. However ``basic`` really isn't like the others
and requires that we send back a ``WWW-Authenticate`` header if authentication fails (and return a 401 and not redirect).
``basic`` has been removed from the default set and must once again be explicitly requested.

Version 3.4.3
-------------

Released June 12, 2020

Minor fixes for a regression and a couple other minor changes

Fixed
+++++

- (:issue:`340`) Fix regression where tf_phone_number was required, even if SMS wasn't configured.
- (:pr:`342`) Pick up some small documentation fixes from 4.0.0.

Version 3.4.2
-------------

Released May 2, 2020

Only change is to move repo to the Flask-Middleware github organization.

Version 3.4.1
--------------

Released April 22, 2020

Fix a bunch of bugs in new unified sign in along with a couple other major issues.

Fixed
+++++
- (:issue:`298`) Alternative ID feature ran afoul of postgres/psycopg2 finickiness.
- (:issue:`300`) JSON 401 responses had WWW-Authenticate Header attached - that caused
  browsers to pop up their own login/password form. Not what applications want.
- (:issue:`280`) Allow admin/api to setup TFA (and unified sign in) out of band.
  Please see :meth:`.UserDatastore.tf_set`, :meth:`.UserDatastore.tf_reset`,
  :meth:`.UserDatastore.us_set`, :meth:`.UserDatastore.us_reset` and
  :meth:`.UserDatastore.reset_user_access`.
- (:pr:`305`) We used form._errors which wasn't very pythonic, and it was
  removed in WTForms 2.3.0.
- (:pr:`310`) WTForms 2.3.0 made email_validator optional - we need it.


Version 3.4.0
-------------

Released March 31, 2020

Features
++++++++
- (:pr:`257`) Support a unified sign in feature. Please see :ref:`unified-sign-in`.
- (:pr:`265`) Add phone number validation class. This is used in both unified sign in
  as well as two-factor when using ``sms``.
- (:pr:`274`) Add support for 'freshness' of caller's authentication. This permits endpoints
  to be additionally protected by ensuring a recent authentication.
- (:issue:`99`, :issue:`195`) Support pluggable password validators. Provide a default
  validator that offers complexity and breached support.
- (:issue:`266`) Provide interface to two-factor send_token so that applications
  can provide error mitigation. Defaults to returning errors if can't send the verification code.
- (:pr:`247`) Updated all-inclusive data models (fsqlaV2). Add fields necessary for the new unified sign in feature
  and changed 'username' to be unique (but not required).
- (:pr:`245`) Use fs_uniquifier as the default Flask-Login 'alternative token'. Basically
  this means that changing the fs_uniquifier will cause outstanding auth tokens, session and remember me
  cookies to be invalidated. So if an account gets compromised, an admin can easily stop access. Prior to this
  cookies were storing the 'id' which is the user's primary key - difficult to change! (kishi85)

Fixed
+++++
- (:issue:`273`) Don't allow reset password for accounts that are disabled.
- (:issue:`282`) Add configuration that disallows GET for logout. Allowing GET can
  cause some denial of service issues. The default still allows GET for backwards
  compatibility. (kantorii)
- (:issue:`258`) Reset password wasn't integrated into the two-factor feature and therefore
  two-factor auth could be bypassed.
- (:issue:`254`) Allow lists and sets as underlying permissions. (pffs)
- (:issue:`251`) Allow a registration form to have additional fields that aren't part of the user model
  that are just passed to the user_registered.send signal, where the application can perform arbitrary
  additional actions required during registration. (kuba-lilz)
- (:issue:`249`) Add configuration to disable the 'role-joining' optimization for SQLAlchemy. (pffs)
- (:issue:`238`) Fix more issues with atomically setting the new TOTP secret when setting up two-factor. (kishi85)
- (:pr:`240`) Fix Quart Compatibility. (ristellise)
- (:issue:`232`) CSRF Cookie not being set when using 'Remember Me' cookie to re-sign in. (kishi85)
- (:issue:`229`) Two-factor enabled accounts didn't work with the Remember Me feature. (kishi85)

As part of adding unified sign in, there were many similarities with two-factor.
Some refactoring was done to unify naming, configuration variables etc.
It should all be backwards compatible.

- In TWO_FACTOR_ENABLED_METHODS "mail" was changed to "email". "mail" will still
  be honored if already stored in DB. Also "google_authenticator" is now just "authenticator".
- TWO_FACTOR_SECRET, TWO_FACTOR_URI_SERVICE_NAME, TWO_FACTOR_SMS_SERVICE, and TWO_FACTOR_SMS_SERVICE_CONFIG
  have all been deprecated in favor of names that are the same for two-factor and unified sign in.

Other changes with possible backwards compatibility issues:

- ``/tf-setup`` never did any phone number validation. Now it does.
- ``two_factor_setup.html`` template - the chosen_method check was changed to ``email``.
  If you have your own custom template - be sure make that change.

Version 3.3.3
-------------

Released February 11, 2020

Minor changes required to work with latest released Werkzeug and Flask-Login.

Version 3.3.2
-------------

Released December 7, 2019

- (:issue:`215`) Fixed 2FA totp secret regeneration bug (kishi85)
- (:issue:`172`) Fixed 'next' redirect error in login view
- (:issue:`221`) Fixed regressions in login view when already authenticated user
  again does a GET or POST.
- (:issue:`219`) Added example code for unit testing FS protected routes.
- (:issue:`223`) Integrated two-factor auth into registration and confirmation.

Thanks to kuba-lilz and kishi85 for finding and providing detailed issue reports.

In Flask-Security 3.3.0 the login view was changed to allow already authenticated
users to access the view. Prior to 3.3.0, the login view was protected with
@anonymous_user_required - so any access (via GET or POST) would simply redirect
the user to the ``POST_LOGIN_VIEW``. With the 3.3.0 changes, both GET and POST
behaved oddly. GET simply returned the login template, and POST attempted to
log out the current user, and log in the new user. This was problematic since
this couldn't possibly work with CSRF.
The old behavior has been restored, with the subtle change that older Flask-Security
releases did not look at "next" in the form or request for the redirect,
and now, all redirects from the login view will honor "next".

Version 3.3.1
-------------

Released November 16, 2019

- (:pr:`197`) Add `Quart <https://gitlab.com/pgjones/quart/>`_ compatibility (Ristellise)
- (:pr:`194`) Add Python 3.8 support into CI (jdevera)
- (:pr:`196`) Improve docs around Single Page Applications and React (acidjunk)
- (:issue:`201`) fsqla model was added to __init__.py making Sqlalchemy a required package.
  That is wrong and has been removed. Applications must now explicitly import from ``flask_security.models``
- (:pr:`204`) Fix/improve examples and quickstart to show one MUST call hash_password() when
  creating users programmatically. Also show real SECRET_KEYs and PASSWORD_SALTs and how to generate them.
- (:pr:`209`) Add argon2 as an allowable password hash.
- (:pr:`210`) Improve integration with Flask-Admin. Actually - this PR improves localization support
  by adding a method ``_fsdomain`` to jinja2's global environment. Added documentation
  around localization.


Version 3.3.0
-------------

Released September 26, 2019

**There are several default behavior changes that might break existing applications.
Most have configuration variables that restore prior behavior**.

**If you use Authentication Tokens (rather than session cookies) you MUST make a (small) change.
Please see below for details.**

- (:pr:`120`) Native support for Permissions as part of Roles. Endpoints can be
  protected via permissions that are evaluated based on role(s) that the user has.
- (:issue:`126`, :issue:`93`, :issue:`96`) Revamp entire CSRF handling. This adds support for Single Page Applications
  and having CSRF protection for browser(session) authentication but ignored for
  token based authentication. Add extensive documentation about all the options.
- (:issue:`156`) Token authentication is slow. Please see below for details on how to enable a new, fast implementation.
- (:issue:`130`) Enable applications to provide their own :meth:`.render_json` method so that they can create
  unified API responses.
- (:issue:`121`) Unauthorized callback not quite right. Split into 2 different callbacks - one for
  unauthorized and one for unauthenticated. Made default unauthenticated handler use Flask-Login's unauthenticated
  method to make everything uniform. Extensive documentation added. `.Security.unauthorized_callback` has been deprecated.
- (:pr:`120`) Add complete User and Role model mixins that support all features. Modify tests and Quickstart documentation
  to show how to use these. Please see :ref:`responsetopic` for details.
- Improve documentation for :meth:`.UserDatastore.create_user` to make clear that hashed password
  should be passed in.
- Improve documentation for :class:`.UserDatastore` and :func:`.verify_and_update_password`
  to make clear that caller must commit changes to DB if using a session based datastore.
- (:issue:`122`) Clarify when to use ``confirm_register_form`` rather than ``register_form``.
- Fix bug in 2FA that didn't commit DB after using `verify_and_update_password`.
- Fix bug(s) in UserDatastore where changes to user ``active`` flag weren't being added to DB.
- (:issue:`127`) JSON response was failing due to LazyStrings in error response.
- (:issue:`117`) Making a user inactive should stop all access immediately.
- (:issue:`134`) Confirmation token can no longer be reused. Added
  *SECURITY_AUTO_LOGIN_AFTER_CONFIRM* option for applications that don't want the user
  to be automatically logged in after confirmation (defaults to True - existing behavior).
- (:issue:`159`) The ``/register`` endpoint returned the Authentication Token even though
  confirmation was required. This was a huge security hole - it has been fixed.
- (:issue:`160`) The 2FA totp_secret would be regenerated upon submission, making QRCode not work. (malware-watch)
- (:issue:`166`) `default_render_json` uses ``flask.make_response`` and forces the Content-Type to JSON for generating the response (koekie)
- (:issue:`166`) *SECURITY_MSG_UNAUTHENTICATED* added to the configuration.
- (:pr:`168`) When using the @auth_required or @auth_token_required decorators, the token
  would be verified twice, and the DB would be queried twice for the user. Given how slow
  token verification is - this was a significant issue. That has been fixed.
- (:issue:`84`) The :func:`.anonymous_user_required` was not JSON friendly - always
  performing a redirect. Now, if the request 'wants' a JSON response - it will receive a 400 with an error
  message defined by *SECURITY_MSG_ANONYMOUS_USER_REQUIRED*.
- (:pr:`145`) Improve 2FA templates to that they can be localized. (taavie)
- (:issue:`173`) *SECURITY_UNAUTHORIZED_VIEW* didn't accept a url (just an endpoint). All other view
  configurations did. That has been fixed.

Possible compatibility issues
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- (:pr:`164`) In prior releases, the Authentication Token was returned as part of the JSON response to each
  successful call to `/login`, `/change`, or `/reset/{token}` API call. This is not a great idea since
  for browser-based UIs that used JSON request/response, and used session based authentication - they would
  be sent this token - even though it was likely ignored. Since these tokens by default have no expiration time
  this exposed a needless security hole. The new default behavior is to ONLY return the Authentication Token from those APIs
  if the query param ``include_auth_token`` is added to the request. Prior behavior can be restored by setting
  the *SECURITY_BACKWARDS_COMPAT_AUTH_TOKEN* configuration variable.

- (:pr:`120`) :class:`.RoleMixin` now has a method :meth:`.get_permissions` which is called as part
  each request to add Permissions to the authenticated user. It checks if the RoleModel
  has a property ``permissions`` and assumes it is a comma separated string of permissions.
  If your model already has such a property this will likely fail. You need to override :meth:`.get_permissions`
  and simply return an emtpy set.

- (:issue:`121`) Changes the default (failure) behavior for views protected with @auth_required, @token_auth_required,
  or @http_auth_required. Before, a 401 was returned with some stock html. Now, Flask-Login.unauthorized() is
  called (the same as @login_required does) - which by default redirects to a login page/view. If you had provided your own
  `.Security.unauthorized_callback` there are no changes - that will still be called first. The old default
  behavior can be restored by setting *SECURITY_BACKWARDS_COMPAT_UNAUTHN* to True. Please see :ref:`responsetopic` for details.

- (:issue:`127`) Fix for LazyStrings in json error response. The fix for this has Flask-Security registering
  its own JsonEncoder on its blueprint. If you registered your own JsonEncoder for your app - it will no
  longer be called when serializing responses to Flask-Security endpoints. You can register your JsonEncoder
  on Flask-Security's blueprint by sending it as `json_encoder_cls` as part of initialization. Be aware that your
  JsonEncoder needs to handle LazyStrings (see speaklater).

- (:issue:`84`) Prior to this fix - anytime the decorator :func:`.anonymous_user_required` failed, it caused a redirect to
  the post_login_view. Now, if the caller wanted a JSON response, it will return a 400.

- (:issue:`156`) Faster Authentication Token introduced the following non-backwards compatible behavior change:

    * Since the old Authentication Token algorithm used the (hashed) user's password, those tokens would be invalidated
      whenever the user changed their password. This is not likely to be what most users expect. Since the new
      Authentication Token algorithm doesn't refer to the user's password, changing the user's password won't invalidate
      outstanding Authentication Tokens. The method :meth:`.UserDatastore.set_uniquifier` can be used by an administrator
      to change a user's ``fs_uniquifier`` - but nothing the user themselves can do to invalidate their Authentication Tokens.
      Setting the *SECURITY_BACKWARDS_COMPAT_AUTH_TOKEN_INVALIDATE* configuration variable will cause the user's ``fs_uniquifier`` to
      be changed when they change their password, thus restoring prior behavior.


New fast authentication token implementation
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Current auth tokens are slow because they use the user's password (hashed) as a uniquifier (the
user id isn't really enough since it might be reused). This requires checking the (hashed) password against
what is in the token on EVERY request - however hashing is (on purpose) slow. So this can add almost a whole second
to every request.

To solve this, a new attribute in the User model was added - ``fs_uniquifier``. If this is present in your
User model, then it will be used instead of the password for ensuring the token corresponds to the correct user.
This is very fast. If that attribute is NOT present - then the behavior falls back to the existing (slow) method.


DB Migration
~~~~~~~~~~~~

To use the new UserModel mixins or to add the column ``user.fs_uniquifier`` to speed up token
authentication, a schema AND data migration needs to happen. If you are using Alembic the schema migration is
easy - but you need to add ``fs_uniquifier`` values to all your existing data. You can
add code like this to your migrations::update method::

    # be sure to MODIFY this line to make nullable=True:
    op.add_column('user', sa.Column('fs_uniquifier', sa.String(length=64), nullable=True))

    # update existing rows with unique fs_uniquifier
    import uuid
    user_table = sa.Table('user', sa.MetaData(), sa.Column('id', sa.Integer, primary_key=True),
                          sa.Column('fs_uniquifier', sa.String))
    conn = op.get_bind()
    for row in conn.execute(sa.select([user_table.c.id])):
        conn.execute(user_table.update().values(fs_uniquifier=uuid.uuid4().hex).where(user_table.c.id == row['id']))

    # finally - set nullable to false
    op.alter_column('user', 'fs_uniquifier', nullable=False)

    # for MySQL the previous line has to be replaced with...
    # op.alter_column('user', 'fs_uniquifier', existing_type=sa.String(length=64), nullable=False)


Version 3.2.0
-------------

Released June 26th 2019

- (:pr:`80`) Support caching of authentication token (eregnier `opr #839 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/839>`_).
  This adds a new configuration variable *SECURITY_USE_VERIFY_PASSWORD_CACHE*
  which enables a cache (with configurable TTL) for authentication tokens.
  This is a big performance boost for those accessing Flask-Security via token
  as opposed to session.
- (:pr:`81`) Support for JSON/Single-Page-Application. This completes support
  for non-form based access to Flask-Security. See PR for details. (jwag956)
- (:pr:`79` Add POST logout to enhance JSON usage (jwag956).
- (:pr:`73`) Fix get_user for various DBs (jwag956).
  This is a more complete fix than in opr #633.
- (:pr:`78`, :pr:`103`) Add formal openapi API spec (jwag956).
- (:pr:`86`, :pr:`94`, :pr:`98`, :pr:`101`, :pr:`104`) Add Two-factor authentication (opr #842) (baurt, jwag956).
- (:issue:`108`) Fix form field label translations (jwag956)
- (:issue:`115`) Fix form error message translations (upstream #801) (jwag956)
- (:issue:`87`) Convert entire repo to Black (baurt)

Version 3.1.0
-------------

Released never

- (:pr:`53`) Use Security.render_template in mails too (noirbizarre `opr #487 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/487>`_)
- (:pr:`56`) Optimize DB accesses by using an SQL JOIN when retrieving a user. (nfvs `opr #679 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/679>`_)
- (:pr:`57`) Add base template to security templates (grihabor `opr #697 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/697>`_)
- (:pr:`73`) datastore: get user by numeric identity attribute (jirikuncar `opr #633 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/633>`_)
- (:pr:`58`) bugfix: support application factory pattern (briancappello `opr #703 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/703>`_)
- (:pr:`60`) Make SECURITY_PASSWORD_SINGLE_HASH a list of scheme ignoring double hash (noirbizarre `opr #714 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/714>`_)
- (:pr:`61`) Allow custom login_manager to be passed in to Flask-Security (jaza `opr #717 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/717>`_)
- (:pr:`62`) Docs for OAauth2-based custom login manager (jaza `opr #727 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/727>`_)
- (:pr:`63`) core: make the User model check the password (mklassen `opr #779 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/779>`_)
- (:pr:`64`) Customizable send_mail (abulte `opr #730 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/730>`_)
- (:pr:`68`) core: fix default for UNAUTHORIZED_VIEW (jirijunkar `opr #726 <https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-security/pull/726>`_)

These should all be backwards compatible.

Possible compatibility issues:

- #487 - prior to this, render_template() was overridable for views, but not
  emails. If anyone actually relied on this behavior, this has changed.
- #703 - get factory pattern working again. There was a very complex dance between
  Security() instantiation and init_app regarding kwargs. This has been rationalized (hopefully).
- #679 - SqlAlchemy SQL improvement. It is possible you will get the following error::

    Got exception during processing: <class 'sqlalchemy.exc.InvalidRequestError'> -
    'User.roles' does not support object population - eager loading cannot be applied.

  This is likely solvable by removing ``lazy='dynamic'`` from your Role definition.


Performance improvements:

- #679 - for sqlalchemy, for each request, there would be 2 DB accesses - now
  there is one.

Testing:
For datastores operations, Sqlalchemy, peewee, pony were all tested against sqlite,
postgres, and mysql real databases.
