Today, I am in New York at the launch of Visual Studio 2013<\/a> speaking with a local audience and broadcasting around the world.\u00a0 In many ways it\u2019s a celebration of the blood, sweat and tears we put into VS 2013.\u00a0 At the same time, it\u2019s a bit anti-climactic because VS 2013 has been in preview for months and released for weeks.\u00a0 For me, there\u2019s nothing really new to say about it because hundreds of thousands of people have it and are using it daily.\u00a0 So the fun part is talking about all of the stuff that we\u2019ve been working on that isn\u2019t part of VS 2013 \u2013 and there\u2019s a ton of it.<\/p>\n

The Cloud<\/h3>\n

First, we all know the cloud never sleeps.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t follow a shrink wrapped product cadence.\u00a0 It marches on relentlessly.\u00a0 Today we are announcing Visual Studio Online (an evolution of what was Team Foundation Service).\u00a0 I\u2019ve written a fairly extensive news post<\/a> on it that I won\u2019t repeat here but there\u2019s a lot to know about it.\u00a0 For one thing we unveiled and enabled the commercial terms for the service \u2013 paid accounts.\u00a0 We added cloud build and cloud load testing to the \u201creleased\u201d features of the service and released previews for 2 new services: Application Insights for understanding the reliability, performance and usage of your apps and \u201cMonaco\u201d, a light weight browser based editing environment that\u2019s a great compliment to Azure.\u00a0 Check out the news post to learn more.<\/p>\n

And wait Johnny, that\u2019s not all\u2026<\/p>\n

Release Management<\/h3>\n

We released the first official Microsoft release of Release Management for Visual Studio (formerly InRelease).\u00a0 The new release management capabilities allow you to easily manage software releases in a way that is rapid, reliable and repeatable.\u00a0 You can get a free trial<\/a> or you can download the licensed software as part of your MSDN subscription from the MSDN portal.\u00a0 This release works with TFS 2010, 2012 and 2013 so trying it is a \u201cno brainer\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an exciting day and there are a bunch more on the way.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve been saying for the past several sprints now, we\u2019ve already got a lot of post VS\/TFS 2013 under way.\u00a0 The new cloud services and capabilities we released today were certainly big chunks of it but we\u2019ll have even more in the coming sprints and some pretty exciting stuff after the new year.<\/p>\n

Visual Studio 2012.4<\/h3>\n

Today, we are releasing Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.\u00a0 We continue the trend of gradually tapering off how much goes into each update \u2013 particularly now that VS 2013 is available and this update contains some customer driven bugs fixes and fixes for a few compat issues.<\/p>\n

You can download the update here: http:\/\/go.microsoft.com\/fwlink\/?LinkId=301713<\/a><\/p>\n

Or you can just download it when Visual Studio notifies you that an update is available.<\/p>\n

Hold on tight, it\u2019s a wild ride,<\/p>\n
