This latest version of Windows Azure comes with mobile services web client library that supports Internet Explorer 8, and latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
The Cross Origin Resource Sharing support enables mobile service to accept cross-domain Ajax requests. It also offers the ability to configure a white list of allowed domains from the management dashboard. In addition to above, Microsoft has also provided support for Mercurial (Hg) source control with improved user interface and an ability to deploy site from Dropbox, CodePlex, Bitbucket repositories from the management portal.
On top of these additions, Microsoft has also added the ability to renew the Team Foundation Service certificate for continuous deployment directly from the Windows Azure management portal, so Windows Azure now features an improved UI for easier deployment from source-control.
