Google Apps Script helps businesses customize and extend Google Apps and automate their own standard processes. Some new functionality has now been released.

New functionality:
Data interoperability through JDBC (Java Database Connectivity): Google Apps Scripts can now connect to any MySQL database, including business databases running on servers behind firewalls.
Custom user interfaces for scripts: Google Apps Premier Edition users can now script graphical interface elements and menus.
Standalone invocation of scripts: It’s now possible to call a script from any website, so you’re able to build web pages where users can submit entries that will be collected in a Google spreadsheet.
More integrations with other Google properties: New integrations with Google Docs and Google Maps add the ability to create and modify files in the Google Documents List and retrieve directions from Google Maps.

Editions included:
Standard, Premier, Education, Team and Partner Editions

Languages included:
Supported in 40+ languages

How to access what's new:
- Access the Google spreadsheets editor, click on ‘Tools’, then ‘Scripts’ to manage, insert or access the Script editor.
