A new Ribbon (for WPF) maintenance release is now available. Updates include:

- Added the Ribbon.ContextualTabGroups collection.
- Added the IsContextualTab, IsFirstTabInContextualTabGroup, and IsLastTabInContextualTabGroup properties to the Tab class.
- Completely revised and updated how Ribbon and RibbonWindow paint on Vista with glass effects, making it match how Office looks.
- Added the RibbonWindow.IsGlassEnabled property which controls whether glass effects should be used when drawing a RibbonWindow. Added code to the sample to demo toggling of this property.
- Added complete style implementation for a StatusBar that matches the Office themes and added a StatusBar to the sample project.

- Tweaked some of the rendering styles for tabs and window backgrounds.
- Fixed a bug where in a certain scenario application menu items tied to commands would appear disabled inappropriately.

- Fixed a bug where the FontSizeComboBox wouldn't show a size in it that was not contained in its size list if the caret moved to a non-standard font size.
- Fixed a bug where screen tips in RTL mode could sometimes stick to a fixed height.
- Fixed a bug where when displaying a QAT overflow popup once, the items would no longer show up on subsequent displays.
