We put 1.6.5 through our functional and performance regression test suite and looks good!!
Very excited about: - In the Images API, the get_serving_url call now optionally allows you to specify if the URL you are generating should be served over https. - In the Admin Console, you can report production issues with your application directly to Google from the application's pages. Simply click the "Report Production Issues" link, fill out the requested information, and submit. - The backup improvements, we will reconsider using it in addition to our proprietary export mechanism Thanks, PK On Tuesday, April 17, 2012 11:09:59 AM UTC-7, Ikai Lan (Google) wrote: > > Hey everyone, > > The App Engine 1.6.5 prerelease SDKs are now available.
