SDK version 1.2.1 released

Wednesday, April 22, 2009

We've released version 1.2.1 of the SDK for the Python runtime. Here are some highlights from the release notes:

Stable, unique IDs for
User objects. The Users service now provides a unique user_id for each
user that stays the same even if a user changes her email address.

The Images API now supports compositing images and calculating a color histogram for an image.

New allowed mail attachment types: ics, vcf

Urlfetch requests can now set the User-Agent header.

An App Engine-specific version of the Python PyCrypto cryptography library is now available. Learn more at http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries.html

The bulk loader configuration format has changed to allow non-CSV input.
This change is not backwards compatible, so if you've written code for the bulk loader, it will need to be updated.

An early release of the bulk downloader is also now
available in bulkloader.py. Learn more about these changes at: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadingdata.html
