Sprint 39 is now done and deployed.\u00a0 As always, you can see the latest on the service on the service release notes: http:\/\/tfs.visualstudio.com\/en-us\/home\/news\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Sprint 39 was another modest release.\u00a0 We went through a pretty big reorganization after VS 2012 shipped and it has taken a couple of months to get all of the new teams formed, get there plans settled and get moving quickly.\u00a0 RTMing the service a few weeks ago also took a fair amount of behind the scenes work.\u00a0 So other than a few big things we\u2019re not quite ready to announce yet, other visible improvements have been fewer than I\u2019d like.<\/p>\n

The biggest improvement in this deployment was the reincarnation of the ability to email work item info from within the web UI.\u00a0 That\u2019s a feature we had in 2010 but lost in 2012.\u00a0 The reason we lost it was that we did pretty much a re-write of the web UI with more modern web practices and we just weren\u2019t quite able to get all of the features back.\u00a0 At this point, I think we have all but a few.\u00a0 You can read the release notes for more.<\/p>\n

Another minor change we made was to the account landing page.\u00a0 Much to my chagrin, far too many people create an account and then never go on to create a project.\u00a0 We have a theory that the problem is that it is way too hard to discover how to or even that you need to create a team project.\u00a0 We\u2019ve re-done this page (where you land after creating an account) to hopefully make it much more obvious that you need to create a Team Project.\u00a0 We got further plans to make this page much better but this was a short term modest improvement.<\/p>\n

Our single biggest support request over the past couple of months has been from people wanting to rename their accounts.\u00a0 We can do that but it has been something our operations team had to do.\u00a0 Of course that\u2019s a bad solution.\u00a0 So in Sprint 39, we built the support necessary to enable the \u201cfront line\u201d customer support team to do it themselves.\u00a0 In Sprint 40, we\u2019ll be building a UI over that to enable customers to do it without ever contacting support.<\/p>\n

Things are likely to stay a little low key through the holidays but I expect we\u2019re going to come out swinging in January with some major new capabilities that I think you\u2019ll be excited about.\u00a0 Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
