Die Unterstützung eines Cursors gehört mit den größten Neuerungen. Zudem listet der Blog-Eintrag http://googleappengine.blogspot.com/2010/02/app-engine-sdk-131-including-major.html auf:

• Datastore Query Cursors – Cursors allow applications to save and ‚bookmark‘ their progress through a query, so that it can be resumed later. This works great in combination with paging URLs, as well as processing in the Task Queue API, but there are many other uses. Watch for an upcoming blog post that explores Cursors in the near future. They’re also really handy in the context of the next change…
• No more 1000 result limit – That’s right: with addition of Cursors and the culmination of many smaller Datastore stability and performance improvements over the last few months, we’re now confident enough to remove the maximum result limit altogether. Whether you’re doing a fetch, iterating, or using a Cursor, there’s no limits on the number of results.
• Reduced error rate with Automatic Datastore Retries – We’ve heard a lot of feedback that you don’t want to deal with the Datastore’s sporadic errors. In response, App Engine now automatically retries all datastore calls (with the exception of transaction commits) when your applications encounters a datastore error caused by being unable to reach Bigtable. Datastore retries automatically builds in what many of you have been doing in your code already, and our tests have shown it drastically reduces the number of errors your application experiences (by up to 3-4x error reduction for puts, 10-30x for gets).
