Today we’re very excited to announce the first release candidate (RC) of Azure DevOps Server 2022!
We added many new features that you’ve been asking for. Here are a few of the highlights:
- Delivery Plans
- New controls for environment variables in pipelines

There are many more features with this release and you can read all about those features in our release notes. You can download Azure DevOps Server 2022 RC1 today. A direct upgrade to Azure DevOps Server is supported from any version of TFS, including Team Foundation Server 2015 and newer. Let us know any feedback or questions via the Developer Community.
Hi,
After installing and exploring this new interesting RC version, I wonder if you will provide the possibility of direct upgrade from RC release to GA release or it will be a new installation ?

Hi Zouari Anis, direct upgrade to the final version/GA of Azure DevOps Server 2022 is supported from a release candidate (RC).
Does the Azure DevOps Server 2022 build resolve the lov4j security issue that arose a short time ago with the ElasticSearch feature?

Hi William, the Log4j issue was addressed in Azure DevOps Server 2022 RC1.
Hi,
Thanks for the information and looking forward to this update!
Will the Visual studio build task that is shipped with ADO server 2022, contain the latest version of azure pipeline tasks, so as to support building with VS2022? It’s close to a year now that VS2022 was released and our pipelines can’t build .NET 6 projects using VS2022 out of the box (and we are forced to use workarounds).
Regards,
Tejas Nair
Hi Tejas Nair, the build task will contain the latest version. Azure DevOps Server 2022 RC2 will support building with VS2022.
Hi Tejas, I will ask our engineering team and let you know.
Hi
I am not able to use Mermaid in wiki even if it`s should be available.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/project/wiki/wiki-markdown-guidance?view=azure-devops-2022#add-mermaid-diagrams-to-a-wiki-page
Hopefully this will be included in the next update!
Thanks
Hi Erlend, mermaid diagrams are not supported in wiki pages at this time. We expect to add this feature with the Azure DevOps Server 2022 RC2 release.
Hi Erlend, we will investigate this, and I will provide an update as soon as I have it. I apologize for the inconvenience.
