Matt Mitrik, the program manager for the TFS migration tools, has announced the availability of the first pre-release version of the Team Foundation Server migration and synchronization toolkit.  If you are looking into how to migrate away from a different bug tracking or version control system, this is where you'll want to start.  Be sur...

The Version Control Server blog has shown some signs of life.  Bill Tutt has written a couple of posts.  The first one is about the Orcas version control feature that lots of customers have requested: destroy.  The destroy command, which is only available from the tf.exe command line, will permanently remove the specified files and f...

A new high-level roadmap for Orcas, Rosario, and Power Tools is now available.  The Visual Studio Team System Future Releases web page covers these topics at varying levels of detail, with the greatest amount detail being supplied for Orcas, of course.  The Orcas TFS information is basically the same as what we've published before. Here'...

We have never had a web interface for Team Foundation Server work item tracking, much to the astonishment of our customers.  Well, there's a fix for that now.  And you can download it today (see below for details).

Ognjen Bajic posted about Ekobit's new free VS add-in that will allow you to view the pending changes in the system from within Visual Studio...

Martin Woodward of Team[rise announced the Ant and Java-based CruiseControl support for Team Foundation version control in his post on the release of Teamprise 2.1.  There's lots of good stuff in there, but this stuck out at me in particular.  If you are using TFS and Java, this is a great addition.  They've even ...

Martin Woodward has done a great job explaining workspaces  and working folder mappings in a pair of recent posts.  For those who are new to TFS or haven't taken the time to think about the concepts and uses, it's a good idea to read them. While his posts apply to both Team Foundation Server 2005 and Orcas, version control adds two ne...
