Release	New and updated topics	Description of changes
Version 5.0.6, August 2011	Microsoft_Dynamics_CRM_2011_SDK_Readme.htm	Updated the readme with new information.
	Tools\PluginRegistration	Added support for Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Services (ACS) 2.0.
	SampleCode\CS\CrmSvcUtilExtensions\GeneratePicklistEnums\ CodeCustomizationService.cs SampleCode\VB\HelperCode\OptionSets.vb SampleCode\VB\QuickStart\CRUDOperations.vb	Fixed a bug in the code generation that caused the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET output file not to compile. Added a Microsoft Visual Basic .NET helper file containing enumerations for option sets, status, and state codes. Modified the Microsoft Visual Basic .NET version of the Quick Start sample to demonstrate the use of these enumerations.
	Analyze Plug-in Performance	Added documentation for the Plug-in Profiler tool.
	Azure Extensions for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Configure AppFabric ACS for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Integration	Minor updates to most sub-topics under this topic. Updated the AppFabric SDK links and added information on how to use Windows Azure AppFabric ACS 2.0.
	Dependency Tracking for Solution Components Global Option Set Values Sample: Detect Solution Dependencies Sample: Work with Global Option Sets Sample: Work With Solutions SDK\SampleCode\CS\HelperCode\CrmServiceHelpers.cs SDK\SampleCode\VB\HelperCode\CrmServiceHelpers.vb	Modified all solutions samples to remove references to the SolutionComponentType class that was removed from the CrmServiceHelpers.cs and CrmServiceHelpers.vb helper code classes. All solutions topics and samples now refer to the componenttype enumeration found in the enumeration helper code generated for all global option sets, picklists, state and status values. These enumerations can be used in your code by adding the file SampleCode\CS\HelperCode\OptionSets.cs or SampleCode\VB\HelperCode\OptionSets.vb to your project. The list of topics and samples shown here represents the primary locations for these samples, but usage of the componenttype enumeration can be found throughout the documentation.
	Maintain Managed Solutions	Updated the information in the Require a Minimum Version section. You must edit the solution.xml file from a managed solution to require a minimum version. Previous content incorrectly said that you must edit the solution.xml file for an unmanaged solution.
	Modify Icons for an Entity	Added guidance recommending the use of PNG web resources for icons.
	Sample: Create a Connection (Early Bound) SampleCode\CS\BusinessDataModel\BusinessManagement\CreateConnection.cs SampleCode\VB\BusinessDataModel\BusinessManagement\CreateConnection.vb	Updated the sample to include the code that associates a role to itself using the Associate method, as required when the same role is assigned to both records in the connection.
	Sample: Distribute a Quick Campaign SampleCode\CS\BusinessDataModel\Marketing\QuickCampaign.cs SampleCode\VB\BusinessDataModel\Marketing\QuickCampaign.vb	Fixed the sample so the activities are generated and the activity status changes correctly, by setting the PostWorkflowEvent property in the PropagateByExpressionRequest and CreateActivitiesListRequest message requests.
	Use the REST Endpoint with Ajax and JScript Web Resources Write Code for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Forms	Added comment to clarify about the supported use of jQuery.
	Setting a Date as Criteria in a Filter in a Query	Fixed the sample getODataUTCDateFilter function so that it sets the month value correctly.
	Xrm.Page.ui control methods	Added guidance for improving performance using the setVisible method.
