Hey everyone,

Prerelease SDK 1.3.8 is out for early evaluation. Note that many features
that require server side changes will not be available in production, so for
all intents and purposes these new features will only work locally. You can
download the SDKs here:

1.3.8 Release Notes
------------------------

Python
-----------
- The developer who uploaded an app version can download that version's code
  using the appcfg.py download_app command. You can use this to download
both
  Python and Java application code.
- Builtin app.yaml handlers are available for common application functions,
  such as appstats.
- The Admin Console now provides tools to delete all entities in the
datastore
  or all entities of a given type. This is available only if enabled using
the
  datastore_admin builtin. Deleting entities will count against application
  quota.
- You can run task queue tasks immediately from the Admin Console.
- You can now specify the quality of JPEG images via the Image API's
  execute_transforms function. Available in production only.
- Support for login of multiple Google accounts within an app, and longer
login
  sessions. For more information see:

- In queue.yaml, the maximum allowed bucket size is now 100.
- Precompilation is now enabled by default. To disable, use the
  --no_precompilation flag when updating your app.
- BlobInfo now has an open() method that returns a BlobReader.
- BlobReader now accepts a BlobInfo.
- Removed limits on zigzag merge-join queries. Therefore the error "The
built-in
  indices are not efficient enough for this query and your data. Please add
a
  composite index for this query." will no longer be thrown in many cases,
  enabling more types of exploratory queries without indexes.
- Fixed an issue with task queue tasks not running on the dev_appserver when
  using Python 2.6.
- Fixed an issue on the dev_appserver where auto task running wasn't working
for
  BulkAdd.
- Fixed an issue reserving App Ids by owners of similarly-named mails
accounts
  containing periods, multiple cases, and googlemail.com address.

- Fixed an issue with OpenId over SSL.
    http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3393
- Fixed an issue on the development server where PNGs were being returned as
  JPEGs.

Java
--------
- You can run task queue tasks immediately from the admin console.
- Added an OutputSettings class to the Images API to specify the JPEG
encoding
  quality when running in production.
- Support for login of multiple Google accounts within an app, and longer
login
  sessions. For more information see:
    http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=181599
- In queue.xml, the maximum allowed bucket size is now 100.
- Removed limits on zigzag merge-join queries. Therefore the error "The
built-in
  indices are not efficient enough for this query and your data. Please add
a
  composite index for this query." will no longer be thrown in many cases,
  enabling more types of exploratory queries without indexes.
- The whitelist has been updated to include java.net.InetAddress and some
  interfaces and abstract classes in javax.xml.soap, including
  javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage.
- Fixed an issue reserving App Ids by owners of emails containing periods,
  multiple cases, and googlemail.com address.
    http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1196
- Fixed an issue where TaskOptions had no public getters, making testing
  impossible.
    http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3243
- Fixed an issue with OpenId over SSL.
    http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=3393
