Windows Phone Developer Tools October 2010 Update is now available for download

As announced earlier this week in this post on the Windows Phone Developer Blog, the Windows Phone Developer Tools October 2010 Update is now available for download.  This update is a patch, so you must install the Windows Phone Developer Tools before you will be able to install the update.

This update includes the following components:

  • The Windows Phone Connect tool – this tool allows the Windows Phone Developer Tools to connect to a Windows Phone device without requiring the Zune software to be running; this allows developers to debug media playback scenarios on a device
  • The Windows Phone capability detection tool – this tool analyzes your Windows Phone game or application project and detects the capabilities that are required; this allows developers to update their WMAppManifest.xml file so they can test their game or application with the same set of capabilities that will be provided by the ingestion process
  • An updated version of the Bing Maps control
