VS Online Update – April 27th

First TFS 2015 RC production upgrade I know of

VS Online Update – April 10th

Brian HarryApril 13, 2015Apr 13, 201504/13/15

We are deploying our sprint 80 results this week. You can read the release notes on visualstudio.com. There are some very nice improvements for both the Agile tooling and Git.
