ODK Aggregate 1.0.1 Production Release is now available for download.
ODK Briefcase 1.0 Beta 2.1 is now available for download.
Major changes in Aggregate 1.0.1 are:
changes to get a lightly-used instance to operate below the daily billing
quota.
fix for rounding error in date/times (the millisecond digit) that could
cause submissions to be omitted during publishing, file exports and
Briefcase downloads.
*This should get a lightly used and/or idling Aggregate 1.0 server down to
about 50% of the daily quota.
Note that interactive website features such as applying filters to your
submissions, exporting csv files, and all data visualization functions will
likely incur a full scan of your set of submissions and may be
prohibitively expensive. Briefcase downloads will also do full scans of
your submissions; note that Briefcase currently always pulls down all your
submissions.

Major change in Briefcase 1.0 Beta 2.1 is the correction for the rounding
error in date/times. This affects csv generation and accuracy of the
submission date timestamp during downloads, but otherwise has no effect.
An overview of the changes are also in the release notes:
Please file any bug reports in our issue tracker, and be sure to note what
software versions you're using (e.g., ODK Collect 1.1.7 RC2 and/or ODK
Aggregate 1.0.1 Production):

There are recent changes to the appengine pricing plan as it has left Beta.
However, the guidelines are arcane and difficult to understand. While it is
free to set up Aggregate on your own server, it is difficult to get an idea
of the size and volume that will fit under the "free" plan.
Does anyone care to make an interpretation of appengine's labyrinthine
pricing plan, or maybe estimate how much traffic you can handle as free?
Bonus question: given X number of records of size Y, what would be the cost
of running CSV export, visualizations, etc.?
