TFS 2013.2 got RTM’d last night and is available on MSDN; interestingly Visual Studio 2013.2 is still only an RC, we have to wait for that to RTM.
As we had a good proportion of our team at Build 2014 I took the chance to do the upgrade today. It went smoothly, no surprises, though the installation phase (the middle bit after the copy and before the config wizard) took a while. On our build agents, they all seemed to want reboot (or two) at this point, the TFS server did not, but took a good few minutes with no progress bar movement when I assume it was updating libraries.
So what do we get in 2013.2?
- Can query on Work Item Tagging
- Backlog management improvements
- Work item charting improvements (can pin charts to the homepage)
- Export test plan to HTML
- Release Management “Tags”
- An assortment of Git improvements
I bet the charts on the home page and querying tags will be popular
