Hello App Engine Developers, As part of our ongoing efforts to improve release quality and transparency, we will start prereleasing SDKs for early testing. We hope this gives developers a chance to participate in our release process by trying out new changes and sending feedback. As of this morning, the prerelease SDK for our next release, 1.3.1, is available in the familiar download location (note that the filename ends in 'prerelease.zip'):
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/downloads/list If you're interested, please download and give it a try locally with your favorite App Engine code. Please note that, as a prerelease, this SDK is not yet supported and still subject to change. Thus, please don't take critical dependencies or make substantial changes to production apps based on this SDK. Importantly, this prerelease is purely for the SDK and is intended for local testing and development in dev_appserver. The server-side of App Engine (our production environment) is not at 1.3.1, so deploying with this SDK is not yet supported. In the future, we might enable a complete SDK and server test environment for prereleases. Please try 1.3.1 for local development and send us your feedback!
