We hope that problem has now been fixed.<\/p>\n<p>Developer Division hotfixes are now being published on the new <a href=\"http:\/\/code.msdn.microsoft.com\/\">MSDN Code Gallery site<\/a>.&#160; It gives us the ability to tag hot fixes with key words and for you to refine your search for what you want.&#160; I&#8217;m hoping it will really boost the usefulness of the service.&#160; I am also going to work on increasing the volume and frequency of publishing hotfixes.<\/p>\n<p>The home page of the site looks like:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/image_2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-left: 0px;border-bottom: 0px\" height=\"465\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/image_thumb.png\" width=\"644\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>If you then click on the &quot;Hotfix&quot;

Clicking on &quot;Tags&quot; in the filter area just above the results allows you to further refine the list.&#160; For example, clicking on &quot;tfs&quot;, yields:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/image_6.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;border-left: 0px;border-bottom: 0px\" height=\"427\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2019\/02\/image_thumb_2.png\" width=\"644\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Which lists all of the Team Foundation Server hotfixes that are available.<\/p>\n<p>We are working now on getting all of the TFS 2008 hotfixes posted and I hope they will be available within the next 2 or 3 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Happy hunting,<\/p>\n<p>Brian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve been publishing hotfixes for general download for a year or so now.&#160;
