Are there any gotchas using mvvm-light and the RTW windows phone 7 tools? There was a hotfix back in July but is there a new one in the pipeline?
A:
The changes between the Beta & Release version don't have any major changes comparable to those introduced in the move from CTP (Refresh) to Beta.
Hopefully MVVM-Light is without impact, but it's still officially a Beta so expect a release version to come - hopefully quite soon.
Of course if you find any issues as a result of the change to RTM - please share them.

I was guessing that would be the state of play, but I'll start using whats there.

I've been using MVVM Light on some WP7 apps for the last few days (with the RTW version of the dev. tools), and all I had to do was use the fix to make it work like a charm!
So, the fix for the Beta version is still required on the RTW version, at least for now!

The fix form the beta was to do with (amongst a few other things) the amalgamation of assemblies in to `Microsoft.Phone.dll`. The old template had all the separate assemblies and so didn't work. As the assemblies haven't been split out again, the hotfix is still necessary.

There's still a problem with the Template when using an actual device.
