App Engine SDK 1.3.2
Released<http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2010/03/app-engine-sdk-132-released.html>

Today we are excited to announce the release of version 1.3.2 of the App
Engine SDK for both the Java and Python runtimes. 1.3.2 includes a number of
changes and bug fixes.

For this release, we have concentrated on removing a number of limitations
that have been affecting developers:

   - Blobstore API - A new method
(fetch_data<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/blobstore/functions.html>
for
   Python, 
fetchData<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/javadoc/com/google/appengine/api/blobstore/BlobstoreService.html>
for
   Java) allows your application to request the contents of a Blob from within
   your application’s code.
   - URLFetch API - We’ve expanded the number of ports you can access with
   the URLFetch API. You can now access ports 80-90, 440-450, and 1024-65535.
   - Mail API - We’ve expanded the allowed mail attachments to include
   common document extensions including .doc, .ppt, and .xls.
   - Task Queue API - We’ve increased the maximum total Task Queue refill
   rate to 50 per second.

We’re also happy to announce, based on your feedback, a new Denial of
Service (DoS) blocking system in App Engine. This system allows you to
blacklist specific IP addresses from accessing your application, and to
prevent them from costing your application money or eating up your quota.
You can also view the top IPs that have accessed your application in the
Admin Console, to help you figure out what IPs you may want to block. More
information on this feature is available for
Python<http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/dos.html>
and Java <http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/config/dos.html>.

There’s a lot of other changes and fixes in this release, including a new
Java version of the Appstats profiling tool, so read the release notes (
Python <http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/SdkReleaseNotes>,
Java<http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/SdkForJavaReleaseNotes>)

SDK<http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html>
