New Spinn3r Reference Client Release

We just pushed a new release of our Spinn3r reference client (2.1.3.1-beta).

This is a small bug fix only release. Normally it wouldn't be a very big deal but this includes a performance optimization which can increase API throughput by about 2x in most situations.

We now fetch items 100 at a time. We couldn't do this before because of a memory issue with our HTTP implementation. If we encounter a HTTP 500 while performing a request of 100 items we temporarily fall back to 10 items.

This will probably increase the HTTP 500 errors on our servers by 1-2% but the performance advantage for our customer base is clearly advantageous.
