1449 are now being charged for that storage at $0.24/GB/month (the first gigabyte
1450 of logs storage is free). All logs beyond an application's specified storage
1451 limit will be deleted. Please examine your Application Settings page to verify
1452 you are retaining the desired amount of logs.
1453 - Datastore statistics now show the amount of storage used by application
1455 - We have released an experimental utility for migrating your application's
1456 blobs at the same time you migrate your datastore data. You can opt-in to
1457 blob migration in the Admin Console when you start your migration.
1458 - We have updated the experimental Backup/Restore functionality to include
1459 the option to backup and restore to Google Cloud Storage.

1498 traffic is split by either cookie or IP address.
1499 - Emails that are sent from Google Apps domains email addresses where the domain
1500 has been set up to use DKIM will be signed: when an email was from a request
1501 that originated on that app's domain or any time the email was sent from
1502 an app adminstrator, including when that email is sent from a cron job or task
1504 - In the Admin Console, you can now choose how much and how long you'd like to
1505 store logs. All apps get 1G for free and eventually will be able to pay for
1506 more, while the amount can be increased this release we won't start charging
1507 for the additional capacity until the next release at the earliest.
1508 - The instances screen in the Admin Console now has a button to shut down
1509 a specific instance.
1510 - Each application log has a link to the instance that served the request. If

1549 application quota, including Instance Hours, Datastore Ops and Datastore
1551 - Developers can now specify how long a channel token will last until it
1552 expires, with the default remaining two hours. Channel API quota is now
1553 measured both in calls to create a channel and the number of hours of channel
1554 time requested. The maximum hours of quota is the maximum number of channel
1555 creation calls * 2, so free apps get 200 hours of requested channel token
1557 - Python Django now work with Cloud SQL without additional configuration. For
1558 further information see https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/.

1696 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5237
1697 - WARNING: Starting with 1.6.1 (our next release, NOT this release), URLFetch
1698 requests will honor the Accept-Encoding header. If your code sets this header
1699 then it must be prepared to receive content of the specified type. For more
1700 information please see
1701 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4978
1704 ===============================

1707 runtime, change the runtime argument in your app.yaml to python27. Note that
1708 the dev_appserver does NOT work with Python 2.7 - you must deploy your
1709 application in order test it.
1710 - We have increased the number of files you can upload with your application
1711 from 3,000 to 10,000.
1712 - We have increased the size limit for a single file uploaded to App Engine from
1714 - We have increased the Frontend request deadline from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.

1716 seconds. The default deadline remains at 10 seconds. The offline maximum deadline
1717 for URLFetch remains at 10 minutes.
1718 - We have increased the URLFetch Post payload from 1MB to 5MB.
1719 - App Engine now supports Cross Group (XG) transactions with the High
1720 Replication Datastore, which allow you to perform transactions across
1721 multiple entity groups.
1722 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/transactions.html

1726 - We have added a graph to the admin console that displays the number of
1727 instances for which you will be billed.
1728 - In the XMPP API, get_presence() is deprecated in favor of using the inbound
1729 presence handlers documented in
1730 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/xmpp/overview.html#Handling_User_Presence.
1731 - The Task Queue API 'target' parameter now accepts a new value,
1732 taskqueue.DEFAULT_APP_VERSION, which will send the task to the default
1733 frontend version, rather than the version or backend where the 'add' method is
1735 - In the URLFetch API, make_fetch_call() now returns an RPC object.
1736 - Fixed an issue in the Admin Console where the "Run Now" button did not work
1737 for tasks with a '-' in the name.

1760 - You can now specify the maximum size for a blob in create_upload_url().
1761 - Zigzag merge join queries will now continue scanning up to the 30 second
1762 Datastore query deadline. For zigzag queries that used to generate NeedIndex
1763 errors, many will now succeed. A small percentage will now instead timeout.
1764 - The SDK datastore viewer in the dev console now displays the number of "Write
1765 Ops" for each entity. "Write Ops" are the total number of entity and index
1766 writes that were required to create the entity.
1767 - Added API functionality for making calls to the Memcache API asynchronously.
1768 - Fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed creation of tasks with whitespace in
1770 - Fixed the error message for "transaction not found" to be more descriptive.

1803 URLFetch deadline globally.
1804 - Added app_identity api with methods to get the application id, default
1805 hostname, and service accounts for asserting identity on outbound HTTP calls.
1806 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/appidentity/overview.html
1807 - Added an improved HRD migration tool that requires a read-only period relative
1808 to your datastore write rate (as opposed to your datastore size, which is how
1809 the current version behaves). The tool is not yet generally available. If you
1810 are interested in being an early adopter please fill out this form:
1812 - Fixed an issue in the Channel API where jsapi was not served with the correct
1814 - Fixed an issue that broke use_library when the Python SDK was located in a
1815 directory that contained the word 'django'.

1859 - The development server's datastore implementation now contains logic that
1860 closely replicates the consistency guarantees of the High Replication
1861 datastore. To use, run the dev_appserver with the flag --high_replication set
1863 - All user request have an X-AppEngine-Country header which contains the
1864 ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code for the user, based on the IP address of the
1866 - The Channel API can now provide user presence, this can be configured by
1867 adding channel_presence to the list of inbound services for your application.

1881 ==============================
1882 - Support for Backends which allow developers to create infrastructure
1883 components that complement the existing dynamic apps that App Engine already
1884 provides. Instances of a backend can maintain state, be addressed
1885 individually, and are not subject to per-request time limits. They can also be
1886 configured to consume more memory and CPU than ordinary dynamic instances.
1887 - Task Queues support pull mode, allowing for more control over task queue work
1888 rates. To use pull queues, include the 'mode' argument in your queue.yaml.
1889 - Pull queues are supported by a REST API, allowing access from outside App
1890 Engine. To use the REST API, you must also include a valid ACL section
1891 specifying which users can lease tasks from the pull queue.
1892 - Task Queue payload limits have been increased. Queues support 100KB per task.
1893 Within App Engine, the new limit is 32 MB per batch of tasks. With the REST
1894 API the limit is 1 MB per batch.
1895 - HTTP request and response sizes have been increased to 32 MB.
1896 - We have removed the rate quotas for requests, datastore operations,
1897 memcache operations, and image API operations. Resource quotas still apply.
1898 - When creating new applications, developers will now see the High Replication
1899 Datastore as the default configuration option. Developers that still wish to
1900 use the Master/Slave configuration must explicitly choose this option at
1901 application creation time.
1902 - The Task Queue maximum configurable processing rate has been increased to
1904 - We have added two restrictions to the Mail API to improve the reliability
1905 of the service for all applications.
1906 - Emails must be sent from email accounts managed by Google (either Gmail or
1907 a domain signed up for Google Apps).
1908 - Reduced the number of free recipients per day from 2000 to 100 for new
1910 - All application Owners, as listed in the Admin Console, can download the app's
1911 code, unless code download is disabled for the application.
1912 - Added db.py support for making calls to the datastore asynchronously.
1913 Available functions are get_async(), put_async(), delete_async(),
1914 allocate_ids_async(). Call get_result on the return value of asynchronous
1915 datastore functions to block on the call.
1916 - Metadata queries can now get all namespaces, kinds, and properties in a given
1918 - The Testbed API now supports the Channel API.

2130 configurations: High Replication or Master/Slave.
2131 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/hr/#Selecting_a_Datastore
2132 - You can set your application's datastore to read-only mode in the Admin
2133 Console. Any writes attempted while the app is set to read-only will throw a
2134 CapabilityDisabledError. This feature can be helpful for migrating or copying
2135 data between two applications.
2136 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/applicationsettings.html#Disable_Datastore_Writes
2137 - The Datastore Admin tool has been updated to allow copying of one app's
2138 datastore to another. The destination app must have the Remote API enabled.
2139 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/datastoreadmin.html

2149 - The Always On feature allows applications to pay and keep 3 instances of their
2150 application always running, which can significantly reduce application
2152 - Developers can now enable Warmup Requests. By specifying a handler in an
2153 app's app.yaml, App Engine will attempt to send a Warmup Request to initialize
2154 new instances before a user interacts with it. This can reduce the latency an
2155 end-user sees for initializing your application.
2156 - The Channel API is now available for all users.
2157 - Task Queue has been officially released, and is no longer an experimental
2158 feature. The API import paths that use 'labs' have been deprecated. Task queue
2159 storage will count towards an application's overall storage quota, and will
2160 thus be charged for.
2161 - The deadline for Task Queue and Cron requests has been raised to 10 minutes.
2162 Datastore and API deadlines within those requests remain unchanged.
2163 - For the Task Queue, developers can specify task retry_parameters in their
2165 - Apps that have enabled billing are allowed up to 100 queues with the Task
2167 - Metadata Queries on the datastore for datastore kinds, namespaces, and entity
2168 properties are available.
2169 - URLFetch allowed response size has been increased, up to 32 MB. Request size
2170 is still limited to 1 MB.
2171 - The request and response sizes for the Images API have been increased to
2173 - The total size of Memcache batch operations is increased to 32 MB. The 1 MB
2174 limit on individual Memcache objects still applies.
2175 - The attachment size for outgoing emails has been increased from 1 MB to 10 MB.
2176 The size limit for incoming emails is still 10 MB.
2177 - Size and quantity limits on datastore batch get/put/delete operations have
2178 been removed. Individual entities are still limited to 1 MB, but your app may
2179 batch as many entities together for get/put/delete calls as the overall
2180 datastore deadline will allow for.
2181 - When iterating over query results, the datastore will now asynchronously
2182 prefetch results, reducing latency in many cases by 10-15%.
2183 - The Admin Console Blacklist page lists the top blacklist rejected visitors.
2184 - The automatic image thumbnailing service supports arbitrary crop sizes up to
2186 - Overall average instance latency in the Admin Console is now a weighted
2187 average over QPS per instance.
2188 - The developer who uploaded an app version can download that version's code
2189 using the appcfg.py download_app command. This feature can be disabled on
2190 a per application basis in the admin console, under the 'Permissions' tab.
2191 Once disabled, code download for the application CANNOT be re-enabled.
2192 - Fixed an issue where custom Admin Console pages did not work for Google
2193 Apps for your Domain users.
2194 - In the Python runtime, an instance is killed and restarted when a request
2195 handler hits DeadlineExceededError. This should fix an issue related to
2196 intermittent SystemErrors using Django.
2197 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=772
2198 - Allow Django initialization to be moved to appengine_config.py to avoid
2199 Django version conflicts when mixing webapp.template with pure Django.
2200 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1758
2201 - Fixed an issue with OpenId over SSL.
2202 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3393

2205 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3566
2206 - Fixed an issue in the dev_appserver where get_serving_url did not work
2207 for transparent, cropped PNGs:
2208 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3887
2209 - Fixed an issue with the DatastoreFileStub.

2218 the datastore or all entities of a given type. This is available only if
2219 enabled using the datastore_admin builtin. Deleting entities will count
2220 against application quota.
2221 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/creatinggettinganddeletingdata.html#Deleting_Entities_in_Bulk
2222 - You can run task queue tasks immediately from the Admin Console.

2231 - BlobInfo now has an open() method that returns a BlobReader.
2232 - BlobReader now accepts a BlobInfo.
2233 - Removed limits on zigzag merge-join queries. Therefore the error "The built-in
2234 indices are not efficient enough for this query and your data. Please add a
2235 composite index for this query." will no longer be thrown in most cases,
2236 enabling more types of queries without indexes.
