Visual Studio 2012.2 changes

The Git support was not the only announcement for TFS at the ALM Summit last week. On Brian Harry’s blog you can see more on the new features either in the TFS/VS 2012.2 (Update 2) CTP or planned to appear in later CTPs. The list is long, but the ones that caught my eye beyond that of Git support are

• Microsoft Fakes moves from the Ultimate SKU to Premium, thus making it a ‘free’ option for many corporate developers as they already have that SKU
• Easier customisation of the Kanban board
• Tagging of workitems to allow flexible filtering
• Testing visibility in the web admin pages

… and many other improvements. Have a look at the blog posts, or even better pull down the CTP for a look. Also remember if you want to see new TFS features why not try them via a Team Foundation Server account?
