[Roman (Google Employee)]

Hi all,

At ~2PM PST, yesterday, March 31st, 2009, we launched version
5.0.11655.6079 of the Google Earth Plug-in, which is compiled against
version 1.002 of the Google Earth API.

Over the next 48 hours, the entire Google Earth Plug-in install base
will be updated to the new plug-in version. Also, all new plug-in
downloads and installs will be of this new version (meaning you can
jump on it early by uninstalling/reinstalling the plug-in).

Updated API reference: http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/reference/index.html
New API samples: http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/demogallery.html?searchquery=&topic=fiveoh

We will be posting to the Google Geo Developers Blog shortly for a
more in-depth discussion:
