Hey everyone, Just wanted to announce that App Engine 1.6.2 is out! You can check out the blog post here:
http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2012/01/app-engine-162-released.html Note that if you're getting an import error for task queues, you're probably still using the old labs import. You'll want to get this cleared up (you'll also want to pay attention to deprecation warnings). Release notes are below for your reading pleasure: *Java 1.6.2* ------------------ - The Admin Console Datastore Admin has added experimental backup and restore 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. - Task Queue API requests now include a X-Appengine-TaskETA header, that can be used to measure task delivery latency. - We have removed the deprecated labs version of the TaskQueue API. - The default API deadlines for Blobstore API calls have been raised to 15s for online and 30s for offline requests, up from 5s. - The Images API now allows you to stretch an image without maintaining the aspect ratio. - http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=2220 - Mail Quota for App Engine apps that have signed up for billing will only be increased after the first payment for the app is processed. - Fixed an issue where the SDK did not resize images down to 512 pixels by default, as it does in production. - Fixed an issue with the Images API where valid images were returning a NotImageError. - http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=5545 *Python 1.6.2* -------------------- - The Admin Console Datastore Admin has added experimental backup and restore functionality.
