.NET Compact Framework releases 1.0 SP3
The .NET Compact Framework team has completed and released v1 SP3. This servicing release responds to customer bug reports and feedback. Our team worked hard to fix issues which either caused data loss or were not easily worked around by a developer, see the list below.
SP3 has been delivered to multiple release vehicles to service several sets of customers.
- End users will find a Web download which provides NETCF for use in RAM.
- Those building WinCE device images using Platform Builder 4.2 and 5.0 will find QFE’s which update the NETCF catalog to SP3.
- SP3 has also been included in the latest update for Windows Mobile Second Edition.
SP3 Ship Vehicles:
WinCE 5.0 PB QFE 041201_KB890061 (https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=49711f58-1d6c-4629-93c6-7a5cff3ceeae&DisplayLang=en) Watch for this to be rolled up in the quarterly QFE

We have made a little utility to check the .NET CF version on the device. I hope more end-users will know what version they are using and promote the use of latest .NET CF on their device (since many OEMs did not update the ROM with latest .NET CF SP)
