Porting v0.6 to v0.9+¶
• Porting • Basics • Customizations • Advanced
Ever since Flask-User v0.4, we had plans to improve Flask-User but were held back by our desire to maintain backwards compatibility for a while.
With Flask-User v1.0 (and its v1.0 alpha/beta) we decided it was time to move forward, breaking compatibility with v0.6.
Porting slightly customized v0.6 applications¶
If you’ve only customized Flask-User v0.6 in the following ways:
- Changed
USER_...app config settings- Customized form templates (the .html files)
- Customized email templates (the .html or .txt files)
Reading Porting Basics will suffice.
Porting highly customized v0.6 applications¶
If you have:
- Specified custom form classes (the .py files)
- Specified custom view functions
- Specified custom password or username validators
- Specified a custom TokenManager
- Used the optional UserAuth class
you will also need to read: Porting Customizations.
