Changes

RadGridView

Architecture changes towards Silverlight source compatibility. The templates are now a lot lighter and their markup is more Silverlight-friendly.
Simplified and light weight new scrolling mechanism.
Improved row selection mechanism that offers better performance and greater flexibility.
column DataMemberBinding property that allows you to customize your cell appearance and provide your own value converters.
new Vista theme
the existing themes: Telerik, Simple, Caramel, Summer got a significant facelift.
performance improvements and optimizations
improved data editing keyboard support.
improved documentation

Breaking changes:

Removed the Field class. Cells now bind directly to the data item using DataMemberBinding. We now support cell updates when the data item triggers a property changed event.
The default theme is now Summer. To revert back to the previous default set the telerik:Theming.Theme="Telerik" attribute in your XAML control declaration.
