January 9, 2013Jan 9, 201301/9/13Brian Keller has released a beta of the second version of his OData service. We are also working to bring it to TF Service, so stay tuned. Check out the beta and give him feedback!

July 14, 2012Jul 14, 201207/14/12[UPDATE 12/13/12] The TFS 2012 Object Model Installer is now available for download.
