+Flask introduced a new session interface system.  We also noticed that
+there was a naming collision between `flask.session` the module that
+implements sessions and :data:`flask.session` which is the global session
+object.  With that introduction we moved the implementation details for
+the session system into a new module called :mod:`flask.sessions`.  If you
+used the previously undocumented session support we urge you to upgrade.
