It is a minor packaging bug-fix release for 3.1.0 that was released the same day, so most of the interesting details are in the 3.1.0 release notes:

The most interesting updates are the improvements to the exception system. Now spice errors are promoted to distinct python exception classes where possible, with possible multiple inheritance from basic Python Exceptions.

For example there is a now a SpiceIDCODENOTFOUND exception, which has the base class of SpiceyPyKeyError which in turn inherits SpiceyError and the python KeyError exception.
