This week we begin rolling out our sprint 115 work. You can read the release notes for details. As usual, this is a forewarning of the changes, it could take up to 2 weeks before all the changes are visible in your account. The update should go live in the first public accounts today. Overall, there's not any single thing that stands out for me ...
Last week, we had some visitors from Redmond visiting us in North Carolina. I invited a few of them out to my house for dinner - they were interested in seeing this farm that I talk about from time to time. After we got to my house I herded everyone into my car to drive up to the barn. As we got to the top of the hill, I could tell something wasn...
A couple of months ago I blogged about open sourcing the VS Test platform. In that post, I talked about the numerous test frameworks that it supports, on of the most popular ones being MSTest. I also foreshadowed our plan to also open source MSTest V2. Today I'm happy to announce that we have open sourced MSTest V2 under the MIT license. This o...
I know this comes close on the heels of shipping TFS 2017 Update 1, but we are working on another Update to TFS 2015. For those who are up for it, I encourage you to upgrade to TFS 2017 Update 1, however, if there are reasons you really want to stay on 2015 a little longer, Update 4 might be useful to you. Update 4 only contains bug fixes. It has...
This week we are deploying our sprint 114 work. Check out the release notes to read the details. As usual, it will take a couple of weeks for the changes to roll out across all accounts. Here's a CliffsNotes version of some of the highlights of this sprint: I hope you enjoy the new improvements and I look forward to hearing your fee...
Sorry, I had a farm day yesterday and am a little late on the announcement... Yesterday we announced the release of both Visual Studio 2017 and TFS 2017 Update 1. I'll focus on TFS and you can read Julia's post on VS. ***UPDATE Mar 9*** The problems with upgrades from TFS versions before TFS 2015 have been fixed and the images hav...
Last week, we published an update to our roadmap (otherwise known as "Features timeline" :)). If you're curious about what we are working on and when it is coming, I encourage you to go check it out. This timeline is intended to give a rough idea what we are planning to deliver in the cloud over the next 6 months and when those things will land in...
The System Center Management Pack for TFS 2017 is now available. I apologize this took longer than usual. It will, of course, also work with the imminent TFS 2017 Update 1 release. Please let us know if you have any feedback. Brian
This week we are beginning the deployment of our sprint 113 improvements. You can read the release notes for details. Among other things, there's a bunch of nice improvements to the Pull Request experience - we continue to refine and evolve it. We also did a "V2" overhaul of the package management UI. We think it's more responsive and simpler. W...
Today we released the final release candidate for TFS 2017.1. This update contains a few new features and a lot of bug fixes. To my knowledge, we have fixed all the bugs that were reported from RC1. There are a small handful of bugs left to be fixed and we will be ready to ship the final version of Update 1. We recently announced that...
