What is "GA feature"?

[anatoly techtonik]

I am reading https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/wiki/SdkReleaseNotes#Version_1.7.4_-_December_13,_2012 and can't figure out - is this "GA feature" the same things as "GAE feature" or not?

After some meditation it looks like GA == General Availability.

No, the two acronyms mean different things. "GAE feature" can refer to any service within Google App Engine (GAE). It's basically a generic term for any feature within App Engine, even if the feature is considered stable, experimental, deprecated, etc.

GA stands for General Availability - this means that the feature is publicly available, is covered by deprecation and SLA policies, and is stable. See https://developers.google.com/appengine/features/#generally_available_ga_features for an explanation of GA.
