Ever had one of those days when your mouse batteries go flat in the middle of a blog post. Then you swap out one of the batteries from the mouse and switch it with the keyboard to suck the last remaining juice from it. Ten minutes later both are flat and you got no spares. Lets just say its one of those days
Anyhow the refresh has new features (-take note of the additions to the emulator ) and breaking changes(download release notes at this link) - take note of the new publisher setting and notification templates.
