1451 ===============================
1452 - In the Admin Console, you can use new the Traffic Splitting feature to send a
1453 certain percentage of traffic to a non-default application version. The
1454 traffic is split by either cookie or IP address.
1455 - Emails that are sent from Google Apps domains email addresses where the domain
1456 has been set up to use DKIM will be signed: when an email was from a request
1457 that originated on that app's domain or any time the email was sent from
1458 an app adminstrator, including when that email is sent from a cron job or task
1460 - In the Admin Console, you can now choose how much and how long you'd like to
1461 store logs. All apps get 1G for free and eventually will be able to pay for
1462 more, while the amount can be increased this release we won't start charging
1463 for the additional capacity until the next release at the earliest.
1464 - The instances screen in the Admin Console now has a button to shut down
1465 a specific instance.
1466 - Each application log has a link to the instance that served the request. If
1467 the instance is no longer serving requests, a message will be displayed.
1468 - The TaskQueue API now supports the ability to tag a Pull Queue task. You may
1469 then lease tasks by tag. This feature is experimental.
1470 - Using Google Apps wildcard domain mappings, you can access alternate
1471 versions of your app via a custom domain.
1472 - Push and Pull Queues are now listed separately in the SDK development console.

1497 using the SingularTaskFailure exception:
1498 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=6412
1502 ===============================
1503 - The Admin Console Datastore Admin has added experimental backup and restore
1504 functionality. The job occurs within your application and counts against your
1505 application quota, including Instance Hours, Datastore Ops and Datastore
1507 - Developers can now specify how long a channel token will last until it
1508 expires, with the default remaining two hours. Channel API quota is now
1509 measured both in calls to create a channel and the number of hours of channel
1510 time requested. The maximum hours of quota is the maximum number of channel
1511 creation calls * 2, so free apps get 200 hours of requested channel token
1513 - Python Django now work with Cloud SQL without additional configuration. For
1514 further information see https://developers.google.com/cloud-sql/.
1515 - Task Queue API requests now include a X-Appengine-TaskETA header, that can be
1516 used to measure task delivery latency.

1559 running in high_replication mode.
1560 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=6669
1563 ===============================
1564 - You can now configure Frontend Instance Classes from your Admin Console's
1565 application settings page. Three classes are available, with increasing
1566 memory, CPU limits, and associated cost. By default, all applications use the
1567 basic frontend instance setting of 128MB memory and 600MHz CPU.
1568 - We've added new functionality to the Log API that will allow you to read your
1569 application's logs programmatically.
1570 - We are releasing an experimental Conversion API that will allow you to convert
1571 between document types including .doc, .html, .pdf, images using OCR, and
1573 - The High Replication Datastore migration utility is now available as a GA
1574 feature, and is no longer experimental.

1576 arguments: deadline, read_policy, prefetch_size, batch_size, limit, offset,
1577 start_cursor, end_cursor, keys_only. It is recommended that developers use
1578 Query.run() with a limit or batch_size instead of Query.fetch() when iterating
1580 - The ext.db API model functions (get, put, delete, allocate_ids) now directly
1581 accept the keyword arguments: deadline, read_policy

1606 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=6302
1607 - Fixed an issue in the SDK that caused slowness due to app's logs being written
1608 to the datastore. Set the --persist_logs flag in the SDK if you are using the
1609 Logservice API to read logs.
1610 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=6355
1611 - WARNING: Starting with the 1.6.2 release of the experimental Python 2.7
1612 runtime, the mapreduce and datastore_admin builtins will not be supported.
1615 ===============================
1616 - On November 7th, App Engine will be out of Preview. The new Terms of Service
1617 and previously announced pricing changes will be in effect. Additionally, all
1618 paid apps are now covered by our SLA.

1620 - Paid apps can now specify the maximum pending latency for instances and the
1621 minimum number of idle instances for your application in the Admin Console.
1622 - Task Queue storage has been separated in to its own line item. Previously,
1623 this was included in Datastore storage.
1624 - We have released an experimental utility, available in the Admin Console, to
1625 assist in migrating your application to the High Replication datastore. This
1626 utility allows you to copy the bulk of your data in the background, while the
1627 source application is still serving. You then need a brief read-only period to
1628 migrate your application data while you copy the data that has changed from
1629 the time the original copy started.
1630 - Blobstore, which was previously limited to apps with billing enabled, is now
1631 available for all apps.
1632 - We have published a new article on Datastore Index Selection and Advanced
1633 Search which explains our recent improvements to the query planner that make
1634 exploding indexes unnecessary.

1640 for filtering stats.
1641 - We have released as experimental the full MapReduce framework.
1642 - The SDK now supports Python 2.7.
1643 - Python 2.7 now supports WebOb 1.1.1, which has some significant bug fixes.
1644 Applications that explicitly set the "webob" version to "1.1" in their
1645 app.yaml files must update the version to "1.1.1".
1646 - The mail_stub.get_sent_messages() call now returns EmailMessage instances.

1649 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2012
1650 - Fixed an issue where DoS stats in the Admin Console didn't work for High
1652 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5237
1653 - WARNING: Starting with 1.6.1 (our next release, NOT this release), URLFetch
1654 requests will honor the Accept-Encoding header. If your code sets this header
1655 then it must be prepared to receive content of the specified type. For more
1656 information please see
1657 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4978
1660 ===============================
1661 - Python 2.7 is now available as an experimental runtime for all applications
1662 using the High Replication Datastore. To upload your app to the Python 2.7
1663 runtime, change the runtime argument in your app.yaml to python27. Note that
1664 the dev_appserver does NOT work with Python 2.7 - you must deploy your
1665 application in order test it.
1666 - We have increased the number of files you can upload with your application
1667 from 3,000 to 10,000.
1668 - We have increased the size limit for a single file uploaded to App Engine from
1670 - We have increased the Frontend request deadline from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
1671 - We have increased the online URLFetch maximum deadline from 10 seconds to 60
1672 seconds. The default deadline remains at 10 seconds. The offline maximum deadline
1673 for URLFetch remains at 10 minutes.
1674 - We have increased the URLFetch Post payload from 1MB to 5MB.
1675 - App Engine now supports Cross Group (XG) transactions with the High
1676 Replication Datastore, which allow you to perform transactions across
1677 multiple entity groups.
1678 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/transactions.html
1679 - We have released an experimental API that can write to Google Storage for
1680 Developers directly from App Engine.
1681 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/googlestorage/overview.html
1682 - We have added a graph to the admin console that displays the number of
1683 instances for which you will be billed.
1684 - In the XMPP API, get_presence() is deprecated in favor of using the inbound
1685 presence handlers documented in
1686 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/xmpp/overview.html#Handling_User_Presence.
1687 - The Task Queue API 'target' parameter now accepts a new value,
1688 taskqueue.DEFAULT_APP_VERSION, which will send the task to the default
1689 frontend version, rather than the version or backend where the 'add' method is
1691 - In the URLFetch API, make_fetch_call() now returns an RPC object.
1692 - Fixed an issue in the Admin Console where the "Run Now" button did not work
1693 for tasks with a '-' in the name.
1694 - Fixed an issue where the SDK did not decode Base64 encoded blobs.
1695 - Fixed an issue to provide a better error message when using the Mail API to
1696 send email to an invalid user address.
1697 - Fixed an issue in the SDK where a skip_files entry caused an ImportError when
1698 the library was located elsewhere in the PYTHONPATH.
1699 - Fixed an issue in the SDK index viewer where the arrows indicating whether a
1700 query was ascending or descending were not properly rendered.
1701 - Fixed an issue where httplib did not support the deadline argument for
1703 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2216
1704 - Fixed an issue where you could not schedule a cron job to run every 100
1706 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5243
1707 - Fixed an issue in the SDK where failed tasks retried immediately instead of
1708 waiting for 30 seconds.
1709 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5587
1710 - Fixed an issue making it possible to modify request headers using the deferred
1712 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5861
1715 ===============================
1716 - You can now specify the maximum size for a blob in create_upload_url().
1717 - Zigzag merge join queries will now continue scanning up to the 30 second
1718 Datastore query deadline. For zigzag queries that used to generate NeedIndex
1719 errors, many will now succeed. A small percentage will now instead timeout.
1720 - The SDK datastore viewer in the dev console now displays the number of "Write
1721 Ops" for each entity. "Write Ops" are the total number of entity and index
1722 writes that were required to create the entity.
1723 - Added API functionality for making calls to the Memcache API asynchronously.
1724 - Fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed creation of tasks with whitespace in
1726 - Fixed the error message for "transaction not found" to be more descriptive.
1727 - Fixed an issue where blobstore uploads didn't work in the SDK with the
1728 -a 0.0.0.0 flag set.
1729 - Fixed an issue where --dry_run was broken for upload_data in bulkload.py.
1730 - Fixed an issue where db.Model().to_xml() incorrectly updated auto-updating
1732 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=322
1733 - Fixed an issue where the SDK didn't expand the '~' in a file path.
1734 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=522
1735 - Fixed an issue where is_saved() wasn't valid after db.Model.__init__.
1736 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=844
1737 - Fixed an issue where GQL IN queries with an empty list returned all entities.
1738 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=932
1739 - Fixed an issue where the SDK's sqlite stub did not handle cursors on
1740 descending queries correctly.
1741 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3121
1742 - Fixed a typo in the SDK's Datastore Stats generator message.
1743 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5425
1746 =============================

1751 their corresponding states.
1752 - The dev_appserver has been updated to understand the reduced index
1753 requirements of the 1.5.2 datastore query planner changes.
1754 - The Datastore Admin functionality can now be enabled directly in the Admin
1756 - Added cas(), the compare-and-set function, to the Memcache API.
1757 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2139
1758 - Added a set_default_fetch_deadline to the URLFetch API which sets the
1759 URLFetch deadline globally.
1760 - Added app_identity api with methods to get the application id, default
1761 hostname, and service accounts for asserting identity on outbound HTTP calls.
1762 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/appidentity/overview.html
1763 - Added an improved HRD migration tool that requires a read-only period relative
1764 to your datastore write rate (as opposed to your datastore size, which is how
1765 the current version behaves). The tool is not yet generally available. If you
1766 are interested in being an early adopter please fill out this form:
1768 - Fixed an issue in the Channel API where jsapi was not served with the correct
1770 - Fixed an issue that broke use_library when the Python SDK was located in a
1771 directory that contained the word 'django'.
1772 - Fixed an issue where blobs could not be uploaded using HTTPS.
1773 - Fixed an issue where GQL didn't allow querying for valid kind names
1774 containing '.', '-', and ':' by supporting quoted identifiers.
1775 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2584
1778 =============================
1779 - You can now specify the minimum pending latency for instances and the maximum
1780 number of idle instances for your application in the Admin Console.
1781 - The datastore now never requires an exploding index.
1782 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/queries.html#Big_Entities_and_Exploding_Indexes
1783 - The SDK will now never suggest indexes with the same property repeated, as
1784 such indexes are likely to be exploding indexes.
1785 - The SDK now supports multiple concurrent transactions.
1786 - Datastore stats are now available on a per-namespace basis.
1787 - The queue details page in the Admin Console now contains request header
1788 details, previous run information, and a task payload viewer.
1789 - You can modify the lease on a task leased from a pull queue using the
1790 modify_task_lease() method.
1791 - Pull Task maximum size has been increased to 1MB.
1792 - You can now update the number of available backend instances without needing
1793 to first stop the backend using the "backend configure" appcfg.py directive.
1794 - You can now set the "References" and "In-Reply-To" headers with the Mail API.
1795 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2802
1796 - The SDK "application" environment variable will now be prefixed with dev~.
1797 The new preferred way of retrieving your app id is to use
1798 appidentity.get_application_id(). The --default_partition flag can be used
1799 for applications whose code relied on a specific environment variable.
1800 - In the Deferred API, defer() now accepts the _target parameter.
1801 - Added a to_dict() function to db.py which converts a model to a dictionary.
1802 - Added a get_original_metadata() method to the Images API to extract EXIF
1803 information from images.
1804 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4133
1805 - Added an @transactional decorator to db.py for functions that should
1806 always be run in a transaction.
1807 - Fixed an issue in the SDK where the Deferred API did not work when using
1808 the --backends flag.
1809 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5072
1812 ============================
1813 - ProtoRPC is a new experimental library that provides a simple method for
1814 creating a well-defined and easy-to-use web-based RPC service.
1815 - The development server's datastore implementation now contains logic that
1816 closely replicates the consistency guarantees of the High Replication
1817 datastore. To use, run the dev_appserver with the flag --high_replication set
1819 - All user request have an X-AppEngine-Country header which contains the
1820 ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code for the user, based on the IP address of the
1822 - The Channel API can now provide user presence, this can be configured by
1823 adding channel_presence to the list of inbound services for your application.
1824 - The Images API now supports the WebP format. Due to limitations in PIL, the
1825 SDK does not support the WebP format.
1826 - You can switch the timezone for App Engine logs in the Admin Console.
1827 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=734
1828 - Fixed an issue in the SDK where leased tasks had the POST method. They now
1830 - Fixed an issue where the Channel API didn't work with non-default versions of
1831 applications using the High Replication datastore.
1832 - When displaying corrupt data in the Admin Console dataviewer, a useful error
1833 will be displayed, instead of a 500.
1834 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4945
1837 ==============================
1838 - Support for Backends which allow developers to create infrastructure
1839 components that complement the existing dynamic apps that App Engine already
1840 provides. Instances of a backend can maintain state, be addressed
1841 individually, and are not subject to per-request time limits. They can also be
1842 configured to consume more memory and CPU than ordinary dynamic instances.
1843 - Task Queues support pull mode, allowing for more control over task queue work
1844 rates. To use pull queues, include the 'mode' argument in your queue.yaml.
1845 - Pull queues are supported by a REST API, allowing access from outside App
1846 Engine. To use the REST API, you must also include a valid ACL section
1847 specifying which users can lease tasks from the pull queue.
1848 - Task Queue payload limits have been increased. Queues support 100KB per task.
1849 Within App Engine, the new limit is 32 MB per batch of tasks. With the REST
1850 API the limit is 1 MB per batch.
1851 - HTTP request and response sizes have been increased to 32 MB.
1852 - We have removed the rate quotas for requests, datastore operations,
1853 memcache operations, and image API operations. Resource quotas still apply.
1854 - When creating new applications, developers will now see the High Replication
1855 Datastore as the default configuration option. Developers that still wish to
1856 use the Master/Slave configuration must explicitly choose this option at

2087 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/hr/#Selecting_a_Datastore
2088 - You can set your application's datastore to read-only mode in the Admin
2089 Console. Any writes attempted while the app is set to read-only will throw a
2090 CapabilityDisabledError. This feature can be helpful for migrating or copying
2091 data between two applications.
2092 http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/applicationsettings.html#Disable_Datastore_Writes
2093 - The Datastore Admin tool has been updated to allow copying of one app's

2106 application always running, which can significantly reduce application
2108 - Developers can now enable Warmup Requests. By specifying a handler in an
2109 app's app.yaml, App Engine will attempt to send a Warmup Request to initialize
2110 new instances before a user interacts with it. This can reduce the latency an
2111 end-user sees for initializing your application.
2112 - The Channel API is now available for all users.
2113 - Task Queue has been officially released, and is no longer an experimental
2114 feature. The API import paths that use 'labs' have been deprecated. Task queue

2126 is still limited to 1 MB.
2127 - The request and response sizes for the Images API have been increased to
2129 - The total size of Memcache batch operations is increased to 32 MB. The 1 MB
2130 limit on individual Memcache objects still applies.
2131 - The attachment size for outgoing emails has been increased from 1 MB to 10 MB.
2132 The size limit for incoming emails is still 10 MB.
2133 - Size and quantity limits on datastore batch get/put/delete operations have
2134 been removed. Individual entities are still limited to 1 MB, but your app may
2135 batch as many entities together for get/put/delete calls as the overall
2136 datastore deadline will allow for.
2137 - When iterating over query results, the datastore will now asynchronously
2138 prefetch results, reducing latency in many cases by 10-15%.
2139 - The Admin Console Blacklist page lists the top blacklist rejected visitors.
2140 - The automatic image thumbnailing service supports arbitrary crop sizes up to
2142 - Overall average instance latency in the Admin Console is now a weighted
2143 average over QPS per instance.
2144 - The developer who uploaded an app version can download that version's code
2145 using the appcfg.py download_app command. This feature can be disabled on
2146 a per application basis in the admin console, under the 'Permissions' tab.
2147 Once disabled, code download for the application CANNOT be re-enabled.
2148 - Fixed an issue where custom Admin Console pages did not work for Google
2149 Apps for your Domain users.
2150 - In the Python runtime, an instance is killed and restarted when a request
2151 handler hits DeadlineExceededError. This should fix an issue related to
2152 intermittent SystemErrors using Django.
2153 http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=772
2154 - Allow Django initialization to be moved to appengine_config.py to avoid
