It&rsquo;s been a great journey and we&rsquo;ve learned a lot about how to turn around a substantial update to Visual Studio update in about 3 months.&nbsp; Of course, we&rsquo;ve already started working on the next update and I suspect we&rsquo;ll get better at it with each one.\nI suspect it&rsquo;s been hard to track all of the improvements so I thought I&rsquo;d summarize some of the major ones.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s a large enough release that I can&rsquo;t easily pull together a comprehensive list that would contain enough context for it to be useful for you.&nbsp; In addition to dozens of new features, we&rsquo;ve fixed hundreds of bugs that we&rsquo;ve found and you&rsquo;ve reported.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Extend TFS server side path limits from 260 characters to 400 characters<\/li>\n<li>Usability improvements for Version Control<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Associate multiple bugs with a checking at once in the Add by ID field (i.e. comma separated)<\/li>\n<li>Toolbar button to show\/hide deleted items in the source control explorer<\/li>\n<li>Copy the name of a changeset\/shelveset from the Changeset\/Shelveset Details page<\/li>\n<li>Find a Shelveset by name from the Find Shelvesets page<\/li>\n<li>Include\/exclude all items except those that are selected<\/li>\n<li>Know if my detected changes are adds or deletes before clicking the link<\/li>\n<li>Navigate to an item in source control explorer from pending changes page<\/li>\n<li>Undo changes to a file from the editor context menu<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Kanban support in TFS Web Access<\/li>\n<li>TFS web access usability improvements<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Drag and drop queries and query folders<\/li>\n<li>Drag\/drop between User Stories and People in the Taskboard<\/li>\n<li>Drag a task to a person to assign it in the Taskboard<\/li>\n<li>Expand and Collapse the left navigation pane<\/li>\n<li>Remember the state of the splitters<\/li>\n<li>Animate Taskboard tiles on drop<\/li>\n<li>Next\/Previous arrows on WIT form<\/li>\n<li>Updated navigation styling<\/li>\n<li>Links and Attachments in WIT form shows counts<\/li>\n<p>  <!--EndFragment--><\/ul>\n<li>Sharepoint testing improvements<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Load testing support for SharePoint<\/li>\n<li>Unit test emulator for SharePoint<\/li>\n<li>Coded UI test support for SharePoint<\/li>\n<li>Intellitrace collection plan for SharePoint<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Manual testing improvements<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Editing of test cases from inside the test runner<\/li>\n<li>Code coverage support for manual testing of web apps<\/li>\n<li>Hierarchical query support<\/li>\n<li>Pause manual testing session and later resume a test case<\/li>\n<li>Deep copy of a test plan to better support release management<\/li>\n<li>Publish test results to TFS from command-line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Coded UI testing improvements<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Cross browser testing for coded UI testing (IE, Chrome, Firefox, &hellip;)<\/li>\n<li>Usability improvements for Coded UI tests<\/li>\n<p>  <!--EndFragment--><\/ul>\n<li>SCVMM 2012 SP1 support with Lab Management for Windows 2012 hosts<\/li>\n<li>VSUpdate support for Microsoft Test Manager for automatic update notification<\/li>\n<li>Unit testing improvements<\/li>\n<ul>\n<li>Windows Store C++ unit testing enhancements<\/li>\n<li>Windows Store Unit Test library enhancements<\/li>\n<li>Traits support for all adapters<\/li>\n<li>Unit Test Grouping and Filtering in Test Explorer Window<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<li>Easier installation of unit test adapters on TFS build machines using Nuget<\/li>\n<li>Code Map &ndash;
