One request per server instance. The change allows multiple threads to run in each instance, so now your code has to be threadsafe.

I was wondering about this in October, I guess the Vosao CMS needs to stop storing state in static fields now:

Thilo added answer a few hours ago, pointing out the new threadsafe mode for GAE. That's why I like StackOverflow.

Your code only needs to be threadsafe if you wish to enable the concurrent flag, otherwise your code will happily run as it had before.

I just thought it's important to note that they're not forcing you to push a code update unless you want to handle concurrent requests with a single instance.
