Yesterday we released the latest SDK, and you can read all about it in the release notes.



Notable new features in this SDK are:


  • Support for zipimport and a new module, zipserve, which serves static files from a zip archive. These allow you to work past the 1000-file app deployment limit.

  • The development console now includes a memcache viewer (you can use this by accessing http://localhost:8080/_ah/admin while your app is running on the SDK).

  • URLFetch now allows users to disable automatically following HTTP redirects.

  • We now allow composite indexes with repeated properties.




It also includes the following issue fixes:

  • It correctly escapes path separators in static_dir path on windows.

  • Sending email messages with unicode content now works.

  • Fixed db.run_in_transaction so that it doesn't allow inserting two (or more) new root entities in a single transaction.



    • The new SDK is available for download, and as always, we welcome your feedback on the group!
