Microsoft recently released two updates for Exchange:

1. EWS Managed API v1.2
2. Exchange 2010 SP2 Language Pack Bundle

I’m particularly happy to see quite a lot of improvements in the newer version of the managed API, allowing for – yet again – more interaction with your Exchange environment.

EWS Managed API v1.2

This new(er) version of the Managed API contains a lot of new features that can prove useful for BES users, but will also be useful to add new functionalities to your applications or scripts. A complete overview of the new features can be found here:

The new version is available as a free download from the Microsoft Download Center:

Exchange 2010 SP2 Language Pack

This language pack only contains some (minor) updates for the Dutch language installs. As some of you might recall, there were indeed some “glitches” in the Dutch language as reported here:

The language pack itself can be downloaded from here:

Note: if you’re not experiencing any issues with the Dutch language install, you’re not required to download and install the update.
