Spinn3r 2.1.3 Now Available

Spinn3r 2.1.3 is live and out the door.

The biggest feature in this release is that we've bought our entire feed archive online. You can now get access to nearly 400GB of content from the last 8 months.

We also updated the response XML and included a new feed:url element for each published item. This references the URL to the source RSS feed.

This was primarily added to aid companies using a 3rd party crawler with their migration to Spinn3r.

Not every post will have a feed URL. Posts from the Six Apart update stream (specifically, LiveJournal) will not have feed:url.

As usual we've pushed a new update to the Spinn3r reference client.

This implements a new getFeedURL method which is needed to use the new result format. Existing clients shouldn't need to upgrade unless they need this specific feature.
