Hi
Is this a go-live release supported in production?
Mark
Hi Mark, it is supported in production.
What is the difference between R2 and production version expected in future? When you are going to launch Release? Thanks!
Hi Waseem, RTW will include bug fixes and we don’t have a release date yet.
Any update on the release dates
We plan on releasing by the end of October
Thanks Gloridel.
I attempted a test upgrade from ADO 2019.1.1 and got this error during the database upgrade process (Failed (405 of 416 steps completed)

Thank you for reporting and working with us to verify the fix. The patch has been posted to your Developer Community ticket and the fix will be included in the next release
Any idea when the new pull request experience (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/introducing-the-new-pull-request-experience-for-azure-repos) will be part of ADO even as a Preview experience? I cannot seem to find it on the features roadmap (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/features-timeline)
Any reason this comment is “awaiting moderation”? I asked on the ADO 2020 RC1 announcement page and it was removed. Not sure why this would be a bad question to ask?
Can you confirm that existing SOAP and Work Item Tracking (WIT) and Test Client OM will continue to work as-is with ADO 2020? I understand its being deprecated and wont be enhanced (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/integrate/concepts/wit-client-om-deprecation?view=azure-devops) but hoping we can get confirmation that existing functionality will continue to work with ADO 2020. Thanks
The WIT Client OM (SOAP APIs) are deprecated but not removed in Azure DevOps 2020. So they will continue to work.
Hi,
I see that mermaid diagram support is still not available on wikis. Can you confirm when this is going to be available in Azure DevOps Server? 2020 RTW, 2021, or never… ?
Thanks
John
Hi John,
Mermaid will not be available in Azure DevOps Server 2020. We may consider to include in future updates.
Also got on upgrade failure.

Hi,
Could you please confirm that the following fatal issues will be resolved in final release.
preview features are not available in Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1 (the same for Azure Devops Server 2020 RC2)
Unable to install marketplace extensions for Azure Devops Server 2020 RC1 (the same for Azure Devops Server 2020 RC2)
tfx command line publish issue for Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1 (the same for Azure Devops Server 2020 RC2)
The preview feature regarding the Pipeline decorator is already fixed and will be in the final release. We are investigating the market place extensions install issue and the tfx command line publish issue. We are planning to resolve these issues as soon as we complete the investigation. Thank you for submitting these issues!

Could you please tell me which NuGet version is the correct one for Azure DevOps Server 2020(on premises), with the info from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/integrate/concepts/dotnet-client-libraries?view=azure-devops I think 17.xxx but on nuget.org there are only 16.xxx packages available.
