Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 released

Microsoft released today a new version of the Windows Phone SDK. Version 7.1.1 adds support for new Tango-software, and now you’ll also be able to submit your newly optimized Tango-software to the Marketplace.

With Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 you get the following changes:

• Develop apps that work well on the new 256 MB devices
• Use the WPSDK 7.1 to develop on machines running Windows 8
• The Visual Studio IDE is patched to enable selection from a list of emulators, and launching it (note that the WPSDK can only support connecting to one at a time, though)
• The Windows Phone [512 MB device] emulator image is updated to use build 8773
• A second, new emulator device image is included, allowing you to emulate running your app on a 256 MB device
• The Microsoft Advertising SDK is updated to the latest version (previously only available as a separate install), which fixes some issues devs were encountering at runtime
• IntelliSense now supports specifying the 512 MB device requirement in your manifest file, should you choose to opt your app out from running on the new 256 MB devices
• Language support is again consistent both in the IDE (the 7.1.1 Update supports all 10 of the WPSDK 7.1 languages) and in the emulator OS (Malay and Indonesian have been added)
