The Silverlight definitive diff lists

Live from MIX10 in Vegas, just after the keynote. A lot of excitement about Silverlight 4 RC and Windows Phone 7. And there are a lot of new bits to download, digest and master. This post is trying to help you understand what is new in the various Silverlight bits.

Whenever a Silverlight update is released, I always want to know what changed in the API. Where are the new types? Which members have been updated? There never has been an easy way to find these changes, so I decided to generate my own lists of API changes. Below the complete diff lists of various Silverlight and Toolkit versions. The lists provide a detailed overview of all new, updated and removed types as well as the actual properties, methods and events that have changed.

The lists come in handy when you need to know exactly what has changed between the Silverlight version you are currently working with and the version you want to migrate to.

I hope you find the lists as useful as I do.
