This is the full version (see top right description):

It just says update, because the SDK is updated every two months.

If all goes like the other releases we should see one in about 2 weeks.

In order to simplify things, you can always visit http://msdn.com/directx/sdk and it will point you to the most-recent SDK. In the future, you should use the full-qualified URL like Daniel used, as it it guaranteed to be an obsolete URL within 2 months time :-)

I should also add that each SDK is not an update to a previous one. They are complete SDKs.
