Can someone please tell me whats new as I updated this in Feb 06 as I'm not going to download it to read it.

I would like to hear that too, I haven't updated my DirectX since the first 9.0c version.
Are these monthly updates really necessary? What do they add? or change?
#1.2 AndyMutz on 07 Apr 2006 - 13:01
every dx9 update includes updated DLL files.
games which were made with updated SDK versions, need those updated DLL files. (d3dx9_xx.dll)
in this april update, d3dx9_30.dll is new.

This is NOT for gamers, its for DEVELOPERS
Your GAME ships with everything you need. Only game WRITERS need this.

Per Microsoft's website:
# The DirectX redist installation includes all the latest and previous released DirectX runtime. This includes the bi-monthly D3DX, XInput, and Managed DirectX components.
# The DirectX runtime cannot be uninstalled. We recommend Windows Me and Windows XP users create a "System Restore" point before installing.

It's the latest and greatest DirectX 9.0c fully updated. 52MBs in size. Read warnings as there is no uninstall for this software.

Now if only they would release the DX10 Runtimes.

If you have Vista and download the SDK you can play with DX10 all you want.
