Added support for
Silverlight 5.0 and
Windows Phone 7.1.
Upgraded
project templates and samples.
Upgraded installer.
There are some new
prerequisites required for this version, namely Silverlight 5 Tools, Expression Blend Preview for Silverlight 5 (until the SDK is released), Windows Phone 7.1 SDK.
Removed dependency on the Silverlight Testing Framework. The Ria Services project 4.0 template uses it, but the Ria Services project 5.0 template does not.
Although you can run the installer as an in-place upgrade, there are a couple files which are not removed. So I would instead suggest
uninstalling version 2.1 before installing this release. Otherwise, you will have to remove the following files from Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Silverlight\Mvvm: SimpleMvvmRiaServices.zip, SimpleMvvmSilverlight.zip. I'll work on modifying the installer to do the cleanup.
