In this release both the Windows Azure Tools & the SDK was updated

• Windows Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio
• Windows Azure SDK

What's hot in the new refresh?

1. The problem with VS hanging when you hit F5, this is a huge fix.
2. Fix regarding the limitation of using special characters in entities, which affected some update or delete operations.
3. There have also been a bunch of performance fixes, so the overall user experience feels a lot nicer compared to the PDC release.
