The improvements roughly break down as follows&#8230;<\/font><\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong>Version Control, WorkItem Tracking and Datawarehouse performance\/scale improvements<\/strong> &#8211; the majority of these have come from our continued internal deployment.&nbsp; You can read&nbsp;one of my earlier&nbsp;blog posts&nbsp;for more detail on what kinds of things we&#8217;ve hit and addressed.&nbsp; We&#8217;re now seeing great results on our internal servers with these fixes.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong>&#8220;Extranet support&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; We implemented an ISAPI filter that will allow the intranet to use&nbsp;NTLM and integrated auth&nbsp;while the extra net uses basic auth.&nbsp; This enables TFS to be more easily deployed in environments where people on the internet need to be able to access TFS without having VPN.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong>WIT Custom Control support<\/strong> &#8211; This is a cool&nbsp;new feature.&nbsp; It is a mechanism by which people can design work item forms that host custom controls.&nbsp; The data behind the controls can either be persisted in WIT fields or elsewhere.&nbsp; I&#8217;m hoping people go crazy with&nbsp;it and build some&nbsp;awesome custom controls.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong>Bug fixes for Office&nbsp;2007 (Project and Excel &#8211; no Sharepoint&nbsp;2007 support yet), Vista and the new WAP project support<\/strong> &#8211; These were all things that were pretty far from shipping when we shipped so it was not possible to work out all the kinks (bugs on both sides).&nbsp; Now that&nbsp; they are much closer and more stable we&#8217;ve been able to make them work well.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font face=\"Arial\" size=\"2\"><\/font>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><font size=\"2\"><font face=\"Arial\"><strong>Bug fixes for Dr. Watson reports<\/strong> &#8211; We&#8217;ve been collecting and analyzing all of the crashes&nbsp; that have been uploaded through Dr. Watson.&nbsp; We fixed the top offenders that accounted for a significant majority of all crashes that customers have experienced\/reported.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\">I don&#8217;t have timing for SP1 to announce at this point but I&#8217;m expecting a Beta to be available for it in the not too distant future.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Arial\">Brian<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just&nbsp;a brief note about stuff coming down the pipe for TFS&#8230;
