We expect to post a new drop the week of April 3rd (no exact day at this point :)).&nbsp; The coding and testing is pretty much done and we&#8217;re just working through the release mechanics now.\nThis new build will have a great many new enhancements and bug fixes.&nbsp; Some highlights include:<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>1.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Added &#8220;Advanced&#8221; options for the Get operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>2.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Performance improvements<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>3.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fixed code that identifies the MSSCCI client in order to add support for <span>&nbsp;<\/span>SQL Server Management Studio.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>4.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Changed implementation of MSSCCI SccRunScc (e.g. &#8220;Run external tool&#8221;) to invoke the VS 2005 Team Explorer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>5.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Improved the &#8220;Choose Folder in Team Foundation Server&#8221; dialog<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>6.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Replaced the Properties dialog with an enhanced version of the dialog consistent with the Properties dialog used in the VS 2005 TFS Source Control Explorer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>7.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fixed implementation of MSSCCI SccPopulateList to resolve issue in VB 6 where a check out of a .FRM file would not checkout the .FRX file.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NoSpacing\"><span><span>8.<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fixed SccGet implementation to download files from the server when the files&#8217; parent directory is specified and the file do not exist locally.\nWe have expanded our testing of IDEs and fixed the necessary bugs so that we now support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"NoSpacing\">Visual Studio .NET 2003<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"NoSpacing\">Visual C++ 6 SP6<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"NoSpacing\">Visual Visual Basic 6 SP6<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"NoSpacing\">Visual FoxPro 9 SP1<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"NoSpacing\">Microsoft Access 2003 SP2<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"NoSpacing\">SQL Server Management Studio 2005<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ll remind everyone again that the TFS MSSCCI provider is an unsupported tool and provided &#8220;as is&#8221; with no promise of support.&nbsp; You are welcome to ask questions on our forums at <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.microsoft.com\/MSDN\/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=22&amp;SiteID=1\">http:\/\/forums.microsoft.com\/MSDN\/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=22&amp;SiteID=1<\/a>&nbsp;and we will try to get you answers.\nThe disclaimer aside, we think we are nearing the end of significant development on the MSSCCI provider.&nbsp; There will probably be one more drop in the next few months that contains notable new features and beyond that we&#8217;ll fix bugs and update it as time permits.\nBeyond features, we would like to have this MSSCCI provider work in as many hosts as possible.&nbsp; We don&#8217;t have the resources to go test each of the many dozens of hosts that support MSSCCI.&nbsp; We&#8217;re hoping that you, the community, will help us with this effort.&nbsp; We&#8217;d really appreciate it if you would try out the TFS MSSCCI provider in as many IDEs as you can and let us know what you find.&nbsp; Please report success or failure and any bugs that you find.&nbsp; Also let us know what version of the IDE you have tested it against.&nbsp; We&#8217;re going to add a web page to our Developer Center that lists all of the IDEs that have been confirmed to work.&nbsp; Help the community out and report your experiences!&nbsp; You can do this by sending mail to <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.commailto:tfmsscci@microsoft.com\">mailto:tfmsscci@microsoft.com<\/a>&nbsp; This email address should be active within 24 hours from the time of this posting.\nThanks a ton for all of your help, support and patience during this process.&nbsp;
