For well over a year now, we’ve been posting release notes for Visual Studio Online roughly every 3 weeks describing the enhancements we deploy each sprint.  In our last redesign of the visualstudio.com site, we added a similar news feed for the on-premises products but haven’t updated it very often or provided a ton of detail.&nbs...

And VS 2013.2 RC released… OK, this is weird, I admit, so I’ll explain.  Today we officially released the final version of TFS 2013 Update 2 and we released a Release Candidate of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.  It’s weird that we RTMed TFS Update to but only RCed VS Update 2.  We generally work hard to RTM them at the same time.  This time we cou...

  Wow, this post is late.  It’s been a pretty tough month for me personally.  Probably the highlight was an ice storm that hit central North Carolina and crushed us.  My house was without power for 4 days.  The whole area looked like a war zone.  There were trees down everywhere.  Roads were impassable. ...

Last week we released the next CTP for VS 2013.2 and TFS 2013.2 (aka Update 2).  Unfortunately, I was unable to find the time to blog about it because I was in Europe speaking at a conference and visiting customers.  So, I’m correcting the error now For TFS, at least, this is a “go-live” release, meaning you can get support and we wil...

Today, fast on the heels of Update 1, we released the first CTP of VS/TFS 2013 Update 2.  Although Update 1 was a pretty small release, Update 2 is much larger.  This CTP is *not* feature complete and it is *not* “go-live”.  It is an opportunity for you to get a peek at some of the things we are planning to release in Update 2.  The next CTP (at le...

In a previous post on the subject, I explained that this is a pretty small update focused primarily on getting VS 2013 working better with versions of IE prior to IE 10.  I also explained that there would be no update to TFS available for Update 1. You can get Update 1 through numerous channels, including the VS Update facility built into Visu...

Sam Guckenheimer and I will be traveling to Germany next month to participate in the German ALM Days event Feb 24 – 26.  We’ll be talking a lot about engineering on a cloud cadence among other things.  If you are interested/able, we’d love to see you there.  Of course, I think, all of the conference, except my part, will be in German .

We are doing a pretty quick turn of the crank on VS 2013 Update 1.  Originally we were thinking our first Update would take a little longer but for a variety of reasons (most prominently the feedback about VS supporting versions of IE before IE 10), we decided to do a quick initial Update focused on just some key bug fixes.  Our first sig...

Ed Glas, Bill Barnett and Jiange Sun published a detailed write up of their experiences load testing VSOnline/TFS.  It’s a good read because they go into a lot of the reasons for the things they do and also talk about things they’ve tried that didn’t work.  They’ve now moved almost all of their load testing to the ...

Brian Keller has released the RTM version of his incredibly useful demo VM.  He loads just about everything you could want to demo onto it and makes it easy to see how anything in VS or TFS works.
