TFS Development: Power Tools Improved
by Olga Belokurskaya
Hi!
Again some new information about TFS/VSTS 2010.
According to Brian Harry, new set of Power Tools that support TFS 2010 will appear somewhat about this week.
Though this release will come with several limitations, meaning that the Power Tools will work with Visual Studio 2010 IDE exclusively, the majority of the features will work pretty good either with TFS 2010 or with earlier servers.
There’ve been changes and some improvements made about Power Tools, so TFS development is improved as well, some features were moved or replaced, some new features added. Thus, clean-up and bug fixing were added to Process Template Editor, different Command Line Interface introduced, updated Check in Policy Pack, and some more.
Team Members and TFS Server Manager don’t work yet with TFS 2010, however, the efforts to make them work are being done.
In fact, not so many of the Power Tools require updates, thanks to the great compatibility between TFS 2008 and TFS 2010, so, there’s not going to be any problems with that.
