-----
5.7.3 contains one security improvement and one security fix:
- Launch the browser with a local file which redirects to the server address
including the authentication token (:ghpull:`4260`).
This prevents another logged-in user from stealing the token from command line
arguments and authenticating to the server.
The single-use token previously used to mitigate this has been removed.
Thanks to Dr. Owain Kenway for suggesting the local file approach.
- Upgrade bootstrap to 3.4, fixing an XSS vulnerability, which has been
assigned `CVE-2018-14041 <https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-14041>`_
(:ghpull:`4271`).
