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
