Cheers, Richmond Manzana Technical Program Manager Google App Engine App Engine SDK - Pre-Release Notes Version 1.9.0 Python & PHP ============================== - New App Engine Application Identifiers must now start with a letter, in addition to the existing requirements that the identifier be 6-30 characters which are letters, numbers, and hyphens, and not start or end with a hyphen. Python ============================== - The size limit on the Search API is now computed and enforced on a per-index basis, rather than for the app as a whole. The per-index limit is now 10GB. There is no fixed limit on the number of indexes, or on the total amount of Search API storage an application may use. - Users now have the ability to embed images in emails via the Content-Id attachment header. https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=965 https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=10503 - Fixed an issue with NDB backup/restore corrupting certain compressed entities. https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=8599 PHP ============================== - The PHP interpreter has been upgraded from PHP 5.4.19 to PHP 5.4.22. - Autoloading is now available in the SDK so developers will no longer need to explicitly require SDK files. - Expanded php.ini setting google_appengine.allow_include_gs_buckets to allow a path filter be included for improved security. - A warning message now appears if an application moves a user uploaded file to a Google Cloud Storage bucket/path. This is due to the fact that code may be included and lead to a local file inclusion vulnerability. - Added API functions CloudStorageTools::getMetadata() and CloudStorageTools::getContentType() for retrieving the metadata and content type of Google Cloud Storage objects. https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=10182 - Fixed an issue with GCS folders not displaying correctly in Developers Console. - Fixed an issue with PHP_SELF and SCRIPT_NAME not being implemented correctly. https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=9989 https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=10478 Java ============================== - Java 6 applications cannot be deployed to Google App Engine from any version of the SDK. Existing Java 6 applications will continue to run. If you are still relying on a Java 6 application in Google App Engine, we strongly encourage you to start testing and deploying your app using Java 7. Java 7 has been certified by Oracle to be fully backwards compatible with Java 6, as well as providing a number of benefits to developers. Java 7 applications will be fully supported in future releases of the App Engine SDK. If you absolutely need to continue to deploy Java 6 applications for compatibility reasons, you can request that your application be whitelisted for Java 6 deployment from http://goo.gl/ycffXq. As we review each whitelist application by hand, please allow 10 working days for review, and note that only billed applications that show a proven incompatibility will be considered for exemption. - Modules API methods have been moved out of the labs package in preparation for a general availability release. - MapReduce is now a Preview feature. Documentation and getting started guides are now available on developers.google.com. - The size limit on the Search API is now computed and enforced on a per-index basis, rather than for the app as a whole. The per-index limit is now 10GB. There is no fixed limit on the number of indexes, or on the total amount of Search API storage an application may use. - Users now have the ability to embed images in emails via the Content-Id attachment header. https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=965 https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=10503 - New App Engine Application Identifiers must now start with a letter, in addition to the existing requirements that the identifier be 6-30 characters which are letters, numbers, and hyphens, and not start or end with a hyphen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
