Today we released RC2 of TFS "15". The key links are here: You can check out the release notes for details of what's new. The release notes are a union of everything new in TFS 15 but you can identify changes since RC1 by looking for items tagged "New in TFS "15" RC2". As you can tell by the length of the release notes - many, m...
A couple of aspects of this have come up on the post where I announced the TFS 15 RC1 and I thought it was worth a more explicit call out. First some context. We have 2 release "types" for TFS - major releases (TFS 2013, TFS 2015, TFS 15, etc.) and Updates (TFS 2015 Update 1, TFS 2015 Update 2, ...). We think about them very differently and have ...
Today we released Team Foundation Server 15 Release Candidate 1. This is a "go-live" release, fit for production use and supported by our support team. You can find all the details on the following links: It's called RC1 because, yes, there will be an RC2. I don't expect an RC3 but that will depend on the feedback that we get. This r...
I missed blogging about a ton of stuff that happened in late June and most of July while I was out. I'm not going to try to recap is all. You can find lots of it on the Visual Studio ALM blog or in the Team Services release notes. I do want to highlight a few things though. Hopefully, now that I'm back, I'll be able to keep u...
We have released Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2.1. The KB article has a full list of included bugs fixed (updated from the list I posted on my blog a couple of weeks ago). I haven't done a full cross reference but I listed 25 bug fixes in my post and the KB article includes 28 so I'm assuming we added 3 more fixes since my post. You ...
Hmm, it's been a few days of reflection. I don't think I expected my post on the bugs we were fixing in Update 2.1 to generate so many comments about other bugs that people are hitting. Let me share some questions that have been on my mind and my thoughts on them... Why did I get so many bugs reported as comments on my blog? In the end, my blog i...
Today, we refreshed the roadmap for Visual Studio Team Services and Team Foundation Server. We've retired the items that were scheduled for Q1/Update 2, updated the items scheduled for Q2 and added the plan for Q3. We completed a significant majority of the things we planned to. A few things did not complete in Q1 and have been rescheduled for Q2...
Yesterday, at the //Build/ conference, we announced the final release of Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 and Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2. You can learn more at the following links: We also released an early preview of Visual Studio “15”. We will not be releasing a preview of TFS “15” at this time. List with the 2015 release cycle, the...
Today marks the 10th anniversary of the day we shipped the first version of TFS - TFS 2005. It doesn't seem that long ago but we sure have come a long way. The other day I recorded a Radio TFS interview with Martin Woodward and Greg Duncan. Check it out if you are interested. I have to admit I haven't listened to it. I never listen to my own i...
This morning at EclipseCon, we announced that we are joining the Eclipse Foundation to further our goals of helping developers build applications regardless of the technology stack choices they make.
