Is v1beta3 launched officially?

[jgeewax]

Nope, but we can have a fork to get things moving. (Search isn't launched officially either, and it's here :P)

[dhermes]

Gotcher.

Thanks folks. This will really help not only improve perf, but consistency in the documentation. Appreciated!

[stephenplusplus]

Is there a place to see what's changed?

[pcostell]

@stephenplusplus I've emailed you the (WIP) release notes. Eventually they'll be available on cloud.google.com/datastore/docs.

[stephenplusplus]

Just for an update, I've begun implementing this, and have been receiving help from @pcostell along the way with various protobuf issues/questions. If all goes well, a PR should be available before the end of the week.

Also worth noting, to test the implementation, your project will have to be whitelisted. @JustinBeckwith + @pcostell: Is there an estimated release date available? If it's not anytime too soon, we should be sure to add @callmehiphop's project (what is it? :))

Done. No update yet on the release date, but we are getting close.

Having an issue with the protobuf parser (or something else, not sure yet) protobufjs/protobuf.js#329

[stephenplusplus]

Problem resolved!

Note to self for my upcoming PR: include the "proto" directory in package.json#files.
