    Hi Gloridel,

    Would this DevOps Server update include the ability to add suggested code changes in PRs, and then apply them directly from the web interface as seen here? https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/introducing-the-new-pull-request-experience-for-azure-repos/#add-suggested-changes-and-commit-within-a-pull-request

    Or would this be part of a following major release? We’re really excited about that feature and we’re eager to start planning the upgrade.

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I am looking forward to this release and have a question connected to the release date.

    I am working with a customer to migrate to Azure DevOps Service using the Microsoft migration tools. As that tools supports the latest and second latest version of Azure DevOps server and the customer is on Azure DevOps 2019.1 the release date of Azure DevOps 2020.1 is of interest.
    We are migrating the 14:th of May, do you think that Azure DevOps 2020.1 will be released before that date?

    Thanks
    Magnus

    I ran the upgrade yesterday on the test server, and it took 4h 32m to install. It spent 90% of the time in the Configure WCF step.

    <code>

    Using PowerShell's Get-InstalledModule while it was in the middle of this, showed that WCF-HTTP-Activation45 was already installed. I'm assuming that something else caused it to not query properly?

      Hi Jonathan,
      Based on your log snippet that time was entirely consumed by the Windows process installing a component requested by the upgrade, outside of the Azure DevOps Server process. That delay is almost certainly dependent on the state of your operating system, and not specific to the Azure DevOps Server upgrade.
