for most purposes, but for certain sensitive actions (such as changing billing
information) you use a smaller ``max_age_days`` when reading the cookie.
Tornado also supports multiple signing keys to enable signing key
rotation. ``cookie_secret`` then must be a dict with integer key versions
as keys and the corresponding secrets as values. The currently used
signing key must then be set as ``key_version`` application setting
but all other keys in the dict are allowed for cookie signature validation,
if the correct key version is set in the cookie.
To implement cookie updates, the current signing key version can be
queried via `~.RequestHandler.get_secure_cookie_key_version`.

* Passing ``secure=False`` or ``httponly=False`` to
`.RequestHandler.set_cookie` now works as expected (previously only the
presence of the argument was considered and its value was ignored).
* Key versioning support for cookie signing. ``cookie_secret`` application
setting can now contain a dict of valid keys with version as key. The
current signing key then must be specified via ``key_version`` setting.
