        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 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?

    • Dan HellemMicrosoft employee 0

      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.

      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!
