Hello Everyone!

We've posted the pre-release SDKs for Python and Java here:

My apologies for not announcing this to the group sooner, some of you may have noticed that they were available about a day ago.

Pre-release notes below.

Cheers,

Rich

- Mail API Quotas have been updated. For more information please see:
    https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html
- Background threads are now a GA feature.
- Traffic Splitting is now a GA feature.
- Task Queue Statistics is now a GA feature.
- Logs API now has the ability to fetch requests based on a list of
  request_ids. Currently, this only works in production and is not supported
  in dev_appserver.
- Python Interpreter has been upgraded to 2.7.3.
- WebOb 1.2.3 is now available for Python 2.7.

- Mail API now sends notifications for emails that bounce.
    http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=7451
- Various JSP improvements
    JSPs are now compiled together as opposed to one by one. This improves the
    compilation process time.
    JSP compiled classes are packaged in JAR files.
    You can now avoid the upload of JSP source, which is typically not needed
    at runtime. This can be done via the new --delete_jsps option in the
    appcfg tool. By default, this option is not set.
    You can now package all the WEB-INF/classes/* classes into jar files. This
    can be done via the new --enable_jar_classes option in the appcfg tools. By
    default, this option is not set.

As a positive data point, I run my regression tests with the 1.7.4 prerelease and everything passed fine.

Thanks,

i tried to reproduce the error i get, on a fresh eclipse and jdk
install with an empty project.
there was no error, and worked well.

1.7.4 seems more strict to match/find a jdk version that is same for
both eclipse, eclipse project, and appcfg tool.

the steps i took to make my original project work:
- i clean the WEB-INF/classes folder for my project
- i made a clean install of jdk
- i wrote a constant -vm path in eclipse.ini to make eclipse force to
use specified jdk version
- i added new jdk to path & system variable table of win 7
- i changed munjutaglib.java to something another like munjutags.java

and problems gone, i could able to deploy with 1.7.4
thanks to Ludo, to show me a way for the solution.

Great!
The key change here for 1.7.4 is the way the appcfg.{sh|cmd} tool finds a javac compiler to compile the generated classes from JSP files.
Eclipse a bit complex to configure:
- there is a JVM used by Eclipse
- there is potentially a JRE/JDK configured to be used by your app engine project
- there is potentially a JRE/JDK used by an Eclipse spawed process to run the appcfg tool.
In this case, I think the last one was a JRE instead of a JDK.
We are updating the error message to be more clear.
The good news is that the JSP compilation phase has been dramatically improved: it is must faster now if you have many JSPs to precompile.
Thanks.

Hi,
We are pushing Maven artifacts the same day as the release, so hopefully very very soon (tm).
You'll also notice a new Maven App Engine plugin that allows you to get a SDK and start the local dev server as well as updating your apps all directly from Maven...

Hi Tornike,

what is the part of the new mail quotas you are disappointed with? What was working before and will not work any more for you?

I use GoogleAppEngine for my application. 
It sends daily newsletter Emails for my company subscribers.
and there was no problem until Dec-08-2012 
I was sending up to 50 000 emails per day (there was no limitation)

after this date my account was restricted 
with daily limit (20100 emails (20000 billable) per day).

There is no change in documentation

Google App Engine Quotas Mail

but daily sending limit is reduced now.

I'm sorry. The issue you are seeing is not an expected behavior. We're now investigating the issue and will fix it as soon as possible.
I'll keep you updated.

Hi Tornike,

Your app should be fine now unless the app is in the process of clearing a charge. If that's the case, please wait until the charge is cleared.
Sorry for the inconvenience you may have had.

If you still see the problem, please let me know with your app-id.

Hi Takashi,

Thank you for your reply, I'm very glad that my case was not normal and was fixed.
Charge is cleared and mail quota is not shown on my apps dashboard anymore. 


Should I anyway fill that form you wrote url above?

P.S.
Thank you again for your help, but I think that it's very bad that users haven't any option to contact google support (even by email) without premier account, to get answer in similar cases.
