Today at the PDC09, Microsoft announced Silverlight 4, the 4th version of the RIA platform.

You can get the bits here:

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010 Beta 2 (pick one)

Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2010

Expression Blend for .NET 4 Preview – for authoring Silverlight 4 and WPF 4 applications

WCF RIA Services (formerly .NET RIA Services) (NOTE: This is actually included in the SL Tools for Silverlight 4)

Silverlight 4 SDK CHM (offline documentation) – optionally online here as well

Updated Silverlight Toolkit for Silverlight 4

Developer runtimes: Windows and Mac platforms

Silverlight 4 SDK only – not needed if you install the tools above

Silverlight Media Framework – a new, Open Source media player framework for you to use.

(This list was shamelessly copied from Tim Heuer’s blog post on Silverlight 4)
