An update to the DirectX SDK is now available. Here is a brief list of changes:

        Tool Updates

Maya Exporter - Maya 6 Support, Procedural texture support, Updated installer

        New Samples

        Bug fixes
D3DX - Debug Output Muting, PRT Blocker meshes no longer have a 65,535 vertex limit, texture UV coordinate transformation)

I am especially excited about the Maya 6 exporter. The last SDK only included support for Maya 5 and it didn't work with the new version.

Here are the links to the downloads. This is "breaking" news, so the main portal page, https://msdn.microsoft.com/directx, hasn't been updated yet.
