[ANN] Gaelyk 0.7 released

[Guillaume Laforge]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of Gaelyk 0.7, the lightweight toolkit for developing apps in Groovy for Google App Engine!

This release bridges the gap with the latest releases of the Google App Engine SDK, bringing its support for SDK 1.5.0, and also leveraging the recently released Groovy 1.8.0.

In the newest updates, you'll find:

• Groovy upgraded to 1.8.0 and GAE SDK to 1.5.0
• Added support for XMPP's presence and subscription
• Added variable files for easy access to the File service in your Groovlet and templates, backends for the BackendService, and lifecycle for the LifecycleManager
• Added support for the File service
• Thanks to the new file service, the Gaelyk test suites now properly cover the blobstore related enhancements
• Added datastore metadata querying support
• Added minimal backend service support

The detailed tutorial has been updated with those recent additions and updates.

You can download the template project in the download section of the Gaelyk website.

Thanks a lot to all those who contributed to this release!
