For the designers, the August preview for Expression Blend 2 is also now out, simultaneously with the Silverlight 1.0 RC and 1.1 Alpha refresh. Obviously this build of Blend will now create SL projects with the 1.0 RC. For those who've gotten started on developing with SL 1.0, there are a couple of breaking changes. The preview for the 1.0 SDK contains a document that lists these breaking changes, which you can download  here
