Version 1.6.0 released

Three and a half years after the presentation of the platform on Campfire One , the App Engine has grown and become a full product of Google. We created the product by following a simple philosophy: “it’s convenient to use, easy to scale and easy to start.” Now we have more than 100 billion visits per month, more than 300 thousand active applications and more than 100 thousand developers using the product. The approach is fully justified. Thanks for your support. Google believes in the bright future of App Engine.
