Yesterday Version 1.0 of this open source PDF viewer has been released [1]. According to the version history it contains lots of small bug fixes and improvements.
Sumatra PDF works well in conjunction with TeXnicCenter (TXC) and supports SyncTeX to switch between source and output. Current alpha builds of TXC 2.0 make Sumatra PDF their default PDF viewer, thus generate appropriate build profiles in case Sumatra PDF is installed. Even if the Ad0be Reader (AR) is installed, Sumatra PDF will be preferred.
Today Sumatra PDF Version 1.1 has been released. Among several bug fixes and new features the display of PDF files has been improved. An outstanding feature is the auto-detection of commonly used editors in order to enable inverse search.
With the release of Version 1.5 on 23 April this year has seen already the third update for the Sumatra PDF Viewer. A bug fix release to Version 1.5.1 followed three days later on 26 April. Some of the new features are:
File/Save Shortcut menu item to create shortcuts to a specific place in a document
context menu for copying text, link addresses and comments. In browser plug-in it also adds saving and printing commands
folder browsing
As always, the full change log can be found on the project page.
30 May was the official release date for version 1.6, thus the fourth update for this year. The new version has got some interesting features. Some highlights are:

As always, the full changelog can be found on the project page.

After version 1.9 had been released as the last update in 2011 on 23 November, this year sees with Version 2.0 from 2 April 2012 a major release. The change log is quite short.
