App Engine SDK - Release Notes
Version 1.9.15
All
==============================
- Fixed an issue with Datastore stats not displaying entity counts.
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9328
Python
==============================
- search.GetResponse in the Search API now supports __len__.

that reused method names could result in incorrect API descriptors.
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=10595
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=11366
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=11373

- Fixed an issue with get_define_constraints not returning a Core array.
https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=11236
Version 1.9.14
All
==============================
- The URL Fetch service will always issue a GET request when it receives
and responds to a 302 response; previously it would preserve the original
HTTP method. This new behavior is in line with modern conventions (see
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-6.4). You can
use the final_url field of the Response object (or a similar object in other
APIs, see
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/urlfetch/responseobjects)
to determine if your fetches are being redirected. If this change affects
your application, please contact our support team - even if you do not have
a support contract at
https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/3420056?hl=en&ref_topic=3473162.

- A note about an upcoming change: starting with the 1.7.3 release
of App Engine, data statistics will report statistics on property type
usage by indexes using the documented property type names ("Integer",
"Key", etc, see
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/stats)
rather than the current property representation names ("INT64",
"REFERENCE", etc, see http://goo.gl/db5dT). This will affect the
__Stat_PropertyType__, __Stat_PropertyType_Kind__,
__Stat_PropertyType_PropertyName_Kind__ and their per-namespace equivalents.
This will also affect the displayed "Breakdown by Property Type" under the
"Datastore Statistics" in your application's console.

functionality. The job occurs within your application and counts against your
application quota, including Instance Hours, Datastore Ops and Datastore
Storage.
- Developers can now specify how long a channel token will last until it
expires, with the default remaining two hours. Channel API quota is now
measured both in calls to create a channel and the number of hours of channel
time requested. The maximum hours of quota is the maximum number of channel
creation calls * 2, so free apps get 200 hours of requested channel token
time.

Version 1.6.0
===============================
- On November 7th, App Engine will be out of Preview. The new Terms of Service
and previously announced pricing changes will be in effect. Additionally, all
paid apps are now covered by our SLA.
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html
- Paid apps can now specify the maximum pending latency for instances and the
minimum number of idle instances for your application in the Admin Console.
- Task Queue storage has been separated in to its own line item. Previously,
this was included in Datastore storage.
- We have released an experimental utility, available in the Admin Console, to
assist in migrating your application to the High Replication datastore. This
utility allows you to copy the bulk of your data in the background, while the
source application is still serving. You then need a brief read-only period to
migrate your application data while you copy the data that has changed from
the time the original copy started.
- Blobstore, which was previously limited to apps with billing enabled, is now
available for all apps.
- We have published a new article on Datastore Index Selection and Advanced

- WARNING: Starting with 1.6.1 (our next release, NOT this release), URLFetch
requests will honor the Accept-Encoding header. If your code sets this header
then it must be prepared to receive content of the specified type. For more
information please see
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4978
Version 1.5.5
===============================
- Python 2.7 is now available as an experimental runtime for all applications
using the High Replication Datastore. To upload your app to the Python 2.7
runtime, change the runtime argument in your app.yaml to python27. Note that
the dev_appserver does NOT work with Python 2.7 - you must deploy your
application in order test it.
- We have increased the number of files you can upload with your application
from 3,000 to 10,000.
- We have increased the size limit for a single file uploaded to App Engine from
10MB to 32MB.
- We have increased the Frontend request deadline from 30 seconds to 60 seconds.
- We have increased the online URLFetch maximum deadline from 10 seconds to 60
seconds. The default deadline remains at 10 seconds. The offline maximum deadline
for URLFetch remains at 10 minutes.

instances for which you will be billed.
- In the XMPP API, get_presence() is deprecated in favor of using the inbound
presence handlers documented in
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/xmpp/overview.html#Handling_User_Presence.
- The Task Queue API 'target' parameter now accepts a new value,
taskqueue.DEFAULT_APP_VERSION, which will send the task to the default
frontend version, rather than the version or backend where the 'add' method is
being called.
- In the URLFetch API, make_fetch_call() now returns an RPC object.
- Fixed an issue in the Admin Console where the "Run Now" button did not work
for tasks with a '-' in the name.

waiting for 30 seconds.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5587
- Fixed an issue making it possible to modify request headers using the deferred
library.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5861
Version 1.5.4
===============================
- You can now specify the maximum size for a blob in create_upload_url().
- Zigzag merge join queries will now continue scanning up to the 30 second
Datastore query deadline. For zigzag queries that used to generate NeedIndex
errors, many will now succeed. A small percentage will now instead timeout.
- The SDK datastore viewer in the dev console now displays the number of "Write
Ops" for each entity. "Write Ops" are the total number of entity and index
writes that were required to create the entity.
- Added API functionality for making calls to the Memcache API asynchronously.
- Fixed an issue that incorrectly allowed creation of tasks with whitespace in
the url.

their corresponding states.
- The dev_appserver has been updated to understand the reduced index
requirements of the 1.5.2 datastore query planner changes.
- The Datastore Admin functionality can now be enabled directly in the Admin
Console.
- Added cas(), the compare-and-set function, to the Memcache API.

hostname, and service accounts for asserting identity on outbound HTTP calls.
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/appidentity/overview.html
- Added an improved HRD migration tool that requires a read-only period relative
to your datastore write rate (as opposed to your datastore size, which is how
the current version behaves). The tool is not yet generally available. If you
are interested in being an early adopter please fill out this form:
http://goo.gl/3jrXu

- Fixed an issue where GQL didn't allow querying for valid kind names
containing '.', '-', and ':' by supporting quoted identifiers.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2584
Version 1.5.2
=============================
- You can now specify the minimum pending latency for instances and the maximum
number of idle instances for your application in the Admin Console.
- The datastore now never requires an exploding index.
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/queries.html#Big_Entities_and_Exploding_Indexes
- The SDK will now never suggest indexes with the same property repeated, as
such indexes are likely to be exploding indexes.
- The SDK now supports multiple concurrent transactions.
- Datastore stats are now available on a per-namespace basis.
- The queue details page in the Admin Console now contains request header
details, previous run information, and a task payload viewer.
- You can modify the lease on a task leased from a pull queue using the
modify_task_lease() method.
- Pull Task maximum size has been increased to 1MB.
- You can now update the number of available backend instances without needing
to first stop the backend using the "backend configure" appcfg.py directive.
- You can now set the "References" and "In-Reply-To" headers with the Mail API.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2802
- The SDK "application" environment variable will now be prefixed with dev~.
The new preferred way of retrieving your app id is to use
appidentity.get_application_id(). The --default_partition flag can be used
for applications whose code relied on a specific environment variable.
- In the Deferred API, defer() now accepts the _target parameter.
- Added a to_dict() function to db.py which converts a model to a dictionary.

- ProtoRPC is a new experimental library that provides a simple method for
creating a well-defined and easy-to-use web-based RPC service.
- The development server's datastore implementation now contains logic that
closely replicates the consistency guarantees of the High Replication
datastore. To use, run the dev_appserver with the flag --high_replication set
to True.
- All user request have an X-AppEngine-Country header which contains the
ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code for the user, based on the IP address of the
client request.
- The Channel API can now provide user presence, this can be configured by
adding channel_presence to the list of inbound services for your application.
- The Images API now supports the WebP format. Due to limitations in PIL, the
SDK does not support the WebP format.
- You can switch the timezone for App Engine logs in the Admin Console.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=734
- Fixed an issue in the SDK where leased tasks had the POST method. They now
have a PULL method.
- Fixed an issue where the Channel API didn't work with non-default versions of
applications using the High Replication datastore.

will be displayed, instead of a 500.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4945
Version 1.5.0
==============================
- Support for Backends which allow developers to create infrastructure
components that complement the existing dynamic apps that App Engine already
provides. Instances of a backend can maintain state, be addressed
individually, and are not subject to per-request time limits. They can also be
configured to consume more memory and CPU than ordinary dynamic instances.
- Task Queues support pull mode, allowing for more control over task queue work
rates. To use pull queues, include the 'mode' argument in your queue.yaml.
- Pull queues are supported by a REST API, allowing access from outside App
Engine. To use the REST API, you must also include a valid ACL section
specifying which users can lease tasks from the pull queue.
- Task Queue payload limits have been increased. Queues support 100KB per task.
Within App Engine, the new limit is 32 MB per batch of tasks. With the REST
API the limit is 1 MB per batch.
- HTTP request and response sizes have been increased to 32 MB.
- We have removed the rate quotas for requests, datastore operations,
memcache operations, and image API operations. Resource quotas still apply.
- When creating new applications, developers will now see the High Replication
Datastore as the default configuration option. Developers that still wish to
use the Master/Slave configuration must explicitly choose this option at
application creation time.
- The Task Queue maximum configurable processing rate has been increased to
500/s.
- We have added two restrictions to the Mail API to improve the reliability
of the service for all applications.
- Emails must be sent from email accounts managed by Google (either Gmail or
a domain signed up for Google Apps).
- Reduced the number of free recipients per day from 2000 to 100 for new
applications.
- All application Owners, as listed in the Admin Console, can download the app's
code, unless code download is disabled for the application.
- Added db.py support for making calls to the datastore asynchronously.
Available functions are get_async(), put_async(), delete_async(),
allocate_ids_async(). Call get_result on the return value of asynchronous
datastore functions to block on the call.
- Metadata queries can now get all namespaces, kinds, and properties in a given
range.
- The Testbed API now supports the Channel API.
- Users can provide Django settings to be loaded in webapp's django_setup.
- Modified Dashboard latency graphs to indicate they only include dynamic
requests.

http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2588
- The maximum rate per queue at which tasks are processed has been increased to
100 tasks per second.
- The maximum number of concurrent requests for a single queue can be specified
in the application's queue.yaml. This provides an additional easy-to-use form
of rate limiting. The current number of running tasks is also displayed in
the Admin Console.
- Metadata queries in the Datastore now support cursors.
- Admin Console logs viewer now displays time as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.mmm.
- The Mail API added KML and KMZ files as allowed attachments.

http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3931
Version 1.4.1
================================
- During application creation, developers can choose between two Datastore
configurations: High Replication or Master/Slave.
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/hr/#Selecting_a_Datastore
- You can set your application's datastore to read-only mode in the Admin
Console. Any writes attempted while the app is set to read-only will throw a
CapabilityDisabledError. This feature can be helpful for migrating or copying
data between two applications.
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/applicationsettings.html#Disable_Datastore_Writes
- The Datastore Admin tool has been updated to allow copying of one app's
datastore to another. The destination app must have the Remote API enabled.
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/adminconsole/datastoreadmin.html
- The deadline for offline URL Fetch API requests for Python and Java have been
increased to a maximum of 10 minutes. The default deadline for offline
URL Fetch requests remains the same.
- Fixed an issue where an AttributeError was occasionally thrown on a datastore
query.
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=4196
Version 1.4.0
================================
- The Always On feature allows applications to pay and keep 3 instances of their
application always running, which can significantly reduce application
latency.
- Developers can now enable Warmup Requests. By specifying a handler in an
app's app.yaml, App Engine will attempt to send a Warmup Request to initialize
new instances before a user interacts with it. This can reduce the latency an
end-user sees for initializing your application.
- The Channel API is now available for all users.
- Task Queue has been officially released, and is no longer an experimental
feature. The API import paths that use 'labs' have been deprecated. Task queue
storage will count towards an application's overall storage quota, and will
thus be charged for.
- The deadline for Task Queue and Cron requests has been raised to 10 minutes.
Datastore and API deadlines within those requests remain unchanged.
- For the Task Queue, developers can specify task retry_parameters in their
queue.yaml.
- Apps that have enabled billing are allowed up to 100 queues with the Task
Queue API.
- Metadata Queries on the datastore for datastore kinds, namespaces, and entity
properties are available.
- URLFetch allowed response size has been increased, up to 32 MB. Request size
is still limited to 1 MB.
- The request and response sizes for the Images API have been increased to
32 MB.
- The total size of Memcache batch operations is increased to 32 MB. The 1 MB
limit on individual Memcache objects still applies.
- The attachment size for outgoing emails has been increased from 1 MB to 10 MB.
The size limit for incoming emails is still 10 MB.
- Size and quantity limits on datastore batch get/put/delete operations have
been removed. Individual entities are still limited to 1 MB, but your app may
batch as many entities together for get/put/delete calls as the overall
datastore deadline will allow for.
- When iterating over query results, the datastore will now asynchronously
prefetch results, reducing latency in many cases by 10-15%.
- The Admin Console Blacklist page lists the top blacklist rejected visitors.
- The automatic image thumbnailing service supports arbitrary crop sizes up to
1600px.
- Overall average instance latency in the Admin Console is now a weighted
average over QPS per instance.
- The developer who uploaded an app version can download that version's code
using the appcfg.py download_app command. This feature can be disabled on
a per application basis in the admin console, under the 'Permissions' tab.
Once disabled, code download for the application CANNOT be re-enabled.
