I mentioned TFSBuildLab a month ago when it hit beta 1. Peter Blomqvist and Mathias Olausson have been hard at work and have now released beta 2. They expect to hit 1.0 in the near future. If you are looking for features like continuous integration and scheduled builds in TFS 2005, you’ll want to give this a try.
What is new in Beta 2?
