I have frequently (here and here) written about the indispensible value of downloading and installing the full Dynamics CRM SDK. I have been asked by several people if I could provide some version information for the SDK similar to what I do for the CRM product version itself. This Blog will maintain the SDK version history for Dynamics CRM 2011 just like I do for the CRM 4.0 and 2011 Versions. Enjoy.
You can download the SDK here.
