- Try to get more info on BlobWriteException and BlobReadException. I'm
not actually sure whether I've achieved that because I haven't been able
to cause the blob errors to happen in my server. I'm hoping that keeping
the underlying exception as part of the Blob exceptions will cause more
info to get printed.

- Make blob delete exceptions not be fatal, but log them as errors so
that we know if they're happening.

- Slip in a fix for uploading projects where we ignore an
android.keystore file in the project zip if it has one. This  makes it
easier to upload projects that are downloaded with the admin
functionality to download arbitrary user projects.

affected tests (and was caught by FileExporterImplTest). I changed one
loop into two (one inside a transaction and one outside) but didn't
remove the incrementing of a file counter from one of the loops. Now
only count the entries that actually go into the zip. Also, removed
some redundant checks for which files to put in the zip.

Change wording of "this is not a project archive" error message.
Change title of designer page from experimental to beta.

diagnose intermittent server errors related to blobs. It also updates
the App Engine libraries to 1.6.2.1 (which may also help with the
errors but we're not sure about that---it seems like a good idea in
any case). In particular:

- Make sure *all* blob key lookups happen outside of transactions. A previous
fix did not handle the blob reads in ObjectifyStorageIo.exportProjectSourceZip.

- Log an error if we get a RuntimeException while trying to export source zip.
Hopefully we won't be getting these as much, or at all, once the blob read is
not causing it.

- Use the Blobstore API to read bytes instead of going through FileService and
Channels. I'm hoping this will get rid of some of the timeouts.

- Update the App Engine libraries to 1.6.2.1. We know that there were bug fixes
in the latest version and we were on a really old version (1.5.3) so it seems
like a good idea to update, in case that is contributing to any of our problems.

file name for blobs and 91
(https://code.google.com/p/app-inventor/issues/detail?id=91) about deleting
orphaned blobs when we delete a project or fail during project creation.

When we have blobs that we know we won't need (e.g., a project
creation that needs to be retried or a project that is deleted) we
need to collect up the blob keys and then delete the blobs outside of
any transaction that is running on the datastore. It seems that there
is no way to use the blobstore file API without having it default to
using the existing transactions, and that leads to errors about
transactions on multiple entity groups.

As part of this change I also set the name of a created blob to
include its project id and file name. We don't use the blob name in
the code, but it does help when browsing the datastore and blobstore
from the admin console.

permitted), only those hosts may use the buildserver.

the App Engine app has been compiled, avoiding the problem where we'd
have a released version of the system with a "+" in its Mercurial
version number.

Fixed issue 96: Code should not continue after failing to decrypt
user/project id

In Security.java, changed decryptUserId and decryptProjectId to throw
EncryptionException instead of ignoring it and returning bogus values.
Updated ReceiveBuildServlet and SecurityTest.

In JavaWebStart.java:
Added inner class DecryptedIds.
Modified getWebStartProjectPath to use the mercurial build version as a
prefix.
Added method decryptWebStartProjectPath that decrypts a project path and
checks whether the version included in the project path matches the
current Mercurial build version.

In WebStartFileServlet doGet and doPost, if it catches
EncryptionException while decrypting the project path, reply with SC_GONE.
In doPost (not doGet where we have to return the requested file's
contents), if the post succeeds, but the version from the project path
does not match the current Mercurial build version, reply with
SC_CONFLICT.

In YaCodeblocksController, for all cases where a request is sent to the
appengine server, check the response code. If it's either HTTP_GONE and
HTTP_CONFLICT, show a message to the user that says that the app engine
server has been updated and they need to refresh the designer and restart
the blocks editor. Updated YaHttpServerMainTest.

In YaHttpServerMain, if downloading the phone app failed, warn the user
that this error can occur if they've tried to start the blocks editor with
a previously downloaded .jnlp file.

In FeedbackReporter.showErrorMessageWithExit, removed the trailing " + "
at the end of the message.

Updated the appengine build so that it doesn't rebuild AiSharedLib if it
is already up-to-date.

userid or email address and projectid or project name.

Notes:

- I added the Admin pulldown menu in the My Projects page. It only
appears when the logged-in user has admin privileges (which I
tested!). I suppose we could have put it on the Debugging page, but it
seemed to fit nicely with the other download source options.

- If either the user or project can't be found this fails without any
  indication (other than not downloading anything) since the download
  is asynchronous and we don't currently have an easy way to report
  the failure in the UI. There will be an error message in the server
  log, though. Since this functionality is only for admins, I figure
  this is okay for now.

changes a couple of places where blob writes were non-fatal to make them fatal.

components/build.xml
Improved the dependency checking for the ai.apt task. This solves the problem
where changing a Java file in the annotations, common, or scripts package, or
changing a .txt file in scripts/templates did not cause the annotation
processor targets to be re-built.

build-common.xml:
Improved the dependency checking for the ai.javac task. This solves the problem
where changing a "public static final" variable in one Java file did not cause
another Java file that uses the variable to be recompiled.
Changed the ai.javac presetdef to a macrodef so it can run a <depend> task
before the <javac> task.

appengine/build.xml:
In the AiServerLib ai.javac task, exclude AiServerLib.jar from the classpath
to prevent the dependency checking from thinking that the code always needs to
be recompiled.

buildserver/build.xml:
In the BuildServer ai.javac task, exclude BuildServer.jar from the classpath
to prevent the dependency checking from thinking that the code always needs to
be recompiled.

JSONUtilTest.java:
Encoded all non-ascii characters as \uXXXX so that this file can be compiled
with javac option encoding=utf-8.
