## Fixed

* SWIRL now quietly ignores stale credentials your browser may be carrying and just uses your active login session instead of throwing you out. 

## Upgrading

⚠️ **No database migration required.** 4.5.0.4 is a drop-in replacement for 4.5.0.3 (and for 4.5.0.2 if you skipped 4.5.0.3).

```
