As Charles announced earlier today, we’ve just released Visual Studio and Team Foundation Server 2013. I’m here today to briefly highlight what’s new in version control and TFBuild and to advise you about a known issue in TFBuild that we’re working to fix.
 |
From your on-premises Team Foundation Server you now have a version control choice: TFVC (centralized) or Git (distributed). We’ve also expanded capabilities to view and collaborate in your codebase from the web portal. More details about what’s new in version control. |

You can use Team Foundation Build (TFBuild) to compile code in a TFVC or Git team project, run PowerShell scripts in your build process, and enjoy the benefits of a simpler default build process. More details about what’s new in TFBuild. |
I need to tell you about one bug we recently discovered that causes a problem in the Queue Build dialog box; specifically, the build process parameters are not rendered properly. We determined that his bug was due to some performance tweaks that we made on the server very late in the cycle. This bug affects only VS 2013 RTM against TFS 2013 RTM so if you are still using TFS 2012 or TFS 2013 RC with VS 2013 RTM then you won’t see it. Further if you are using VS 2012 against TFS 2013 RTM you won’t have this problem (although you will still have the documented version compatibility limitations).
11/13/13: You can get the Visual Studio 2013 Queue Build fix here: KB 2898341.
