December patches for Azure DevOps Server

Gloridel Morales

This month, we are releasing fixes that impact our self-hosted product, Azure DevOps Server.

The following will be fixed with this patch:

  • Failures in the “Account Parallelism Sync Analytics Job”.
  • Display of special characters in the IdentityPicker.
  • Test data was not being deleted, causing the database to grow. With this fix, we updated build retention to prevent creating new orphan test data

    Hi

    I wonder if the lack of a patch for ADO Server 2022 is because the fix is already part of that release or because there were not enough time to fix it in the short time since it was released.

      Hi Tore, we discovered these issues after we had cut the release and will include these fixes in the upcoming patch.

    With the Azure Devops 2019 Server 2019.1.2 Patch 2 should the database service level be upgraded also? Ours is showing the previous version(AzureDevops2019Update1.1)

      Hi Lee, we don’t upgrade databases with patch releases.

    Was wondering if Azure DevOps Server 2020.1.2 Patch 4 would include all the prior patches. Why I ask is we created a couple new App tier servers and installed 2020.1.2 and then did patch 4 but our security team says it is missing some patches.
