Hi Brian, This new development server sounds very exciting. I haven't had a chance yet to try it, but I look forward to checking out all these great features.
One question I have is regarding your bullet point "Add automatic conversion from the datastore file stub to the sqlite stub." Does this feature address the conversion failure problem discussed here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14627143/gae-port-sqlite-fails-on-local-dev-server Thanks.
