We just released the 0.0.19 google-appengine gem. App Engine's infrastructure can now anticipate the need for more resources and warm up new application instances (in the background) before routing user traffic to them. You can also reserve three instances by purchasing "Always On" for $9 per month. See the 1.4.0 blog post for more information.

- App Engine SDK updated to version 1.4.0
- App Engine Rack updated to version 0.0.12
