Tornado 6.6.0b1 includes security-related changes: HTTP header line folding was removed to avoid DoS risk, protections were added against cross-origin attacks, and fixes address cookie attribute injection and potential open redirects.

Line folding in HTTP headers is no longer supported. This was deprecated in Tornado 6.5 but is being removed sooner than originally scheduled to avoid DoS risk.
