This is sort of 'last year's news' since the KB article for the update has a date of December 31st, but I suspect many of you weren't all that tuned in to patch releases over the holidays!
The update resolves a number of issues, including some related to topics I've recently presented:
ASP.NET Dynamic Data: In the 3.5 SP1 release, 1-to-1 relationships among entities in the Entity Framework were not supported. There was a workaround posted for this which is now superseded by the SP1 update.
ADO.NET Data Services: Since the ADO.NET Data Services Client did not support creating an entity and setting a reference association (e.g., a foreign key column) in the same step, you could not create new entities if the underlying database schema represented that relationship as a non-nullable foreign key.

I notice that the NET Framework 3.5 SP1 download page has a new date of 1/5/2009. Does that mean that it has been re-released with these patches already in it? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=AB99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=enAnonymous

Not according to the fine print toward the bottom: IMPORTANT: After installing the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 package (either the bootstrapper or the full package) you should immediately install the update KB959209 to address a set of known application compatibility issues. Although, I can't think of why they'd change the download and not just include the patch. I'll see what I can find out internally.Anonymous

Thanks, I didn't notice the note at the bottom during my first read. I thought I'd read on some Microsoft blogs that there would be a re-release with this patches already in it.... anything you could find out in that regard would be helpful.
