Before, returning a `bool` from a route caused the error
```

The view function did not return a valid response. The return type must be a string, tuple, Response instance, or WSGI callable, but it was a bool.
```
Now, it returns the more readable

Fixes#3214
-prefix a path delimiter iff there's a path to delimit
-ensures a valid default static route rule is created on application
intialisation for the case 'static_folder=""' and implicit
'static_url_path'
This supports an increasingly common usecase whereby JSON is the
primary response (rather than a templated string). Given Flask has a
short syntax for HTML reponses, it seems fitting that it should also
do so for JSON responses. In practice it allows,
@app.route("/")
def index():
return {
"api_stuff": "values",
}
* Current behavior: If a base class inherits MethodView and child class
inherits without overwriting "methods". The "methods" defined in base
class would be ignored
* Fix: Inherit all the "methods" defined in base classes if "methods"
variable is not overwritten
If attachment filename is bytes type and contains non-ascii coded bytes,
then the following ASCII encoding process will trigger
UnicodeDecodeError exception.
Fix issue #2933.
See: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0519/
This is mostly encountered with pathlib in python 3, but this API
suggests any PathLike object can be treated like a filepath with
`__fspath__` function.
We've discovered that passing Unicode in Host actually works, except for
test client limitations on Python 2 - and the only things that don't
work are non-printable characters.
If create_url_adapter raises (which it can if werkzeug cannot bind
environment, for example on non-ASCII Host header), we handle it as
other routing exceptions rather than raising through.

Flask currently supports importing app through a combination of module
path and app variable name, such as '/usr/app.py:my_app'. When the
module path contains a colon, it will conflict with this import way and
a `flask.cli.NoAppException` will be raised.
A file path on a Windows system may contain a colon followed by a slash.
So we solved this problem on Windows by ignoring the colon followed by a
slash when we split app_import_path.
Fix issue #2961.
This is mainly intended for custom CLIs that may load a config file
which already sets the debug flag and does not make use of the `FLASK_*`
env vars at all.
