This is a big release with some very exciting changes. The control is moving towards ASP.NET AJAX and .NET 3.5. The Google Earth API is also in the new version and the Google Earth API will be on the top of priorities for new versions. The GoogleStaticMap API has been used to develop a server side map application with a minimal footprint in terms of user download. On top of all that there are a lot of small user requests that have been implemented, different API versions, AJAX loading of the scripts and so on. But the most exciting this is that the code is now open. That's right, download the code by SVN, and feel free to contribute. Happy Google Developers Day.
