Updates in 6.0

Feature Usage Reporting

  • New Feature Usage Reporting: the functionality is simple and lightweight to start off with, but it can already automatically report information about the number of times various features were used in your application, and system information, such as the end user's OS and the highest version of .NET they have installed.

Automated Error Reporting

  • Jump to the source code from the error report stack trace, for even faster debugging.
  • Added support for error reporting in Windows Phone 7.

Obfuscation

  • Tamper protection for strong name signing that renders your assembly unusable and causes your application to crash, should anyone tamper or change your assembly.
  • Improved Control Flow Obfuscation by adding some extra branches to the code to confuse block analysis (a decompilation step).

Other

  • Support for Xbox XNA version 4.
  • Bug fixes.
