Today we released version 1.5.5 the Go App Engine SDK. You can
download it from the App Engine downloads page:
http://code.google.com/appengine/downloads.html

This release includes changes and improvements to the App Engine APIs
and brings the supporting Go tool chain to release.r60.2 (the current
stable release). Also included in this release are the godoc, gofmt,
and gofix tools from the Go tool chain. They can be found in the root
directory of the SDK.

Some changes made in this release are backwards-incompatible, so we
have incremented the SDK api_version to 3. Existing apps will require
code changes when migrating to api_version 3.

The gofix tool that ships with the SDK has been customized with App
Engine-specific modules. It can be used to automatically update Go
apps to work with the latest appengine packages and the updated Go
standard library. To update your apps, run:
/path/to/sdk/gofix /path/to/your/app

We have deprecated api_version 2. Go apps that use api_version 2 will
stop working after 16 December 2011. Please update your apps to use
api_version 3 before then.
