beta news

TFS on Azure IaaS team shipped a silent BETA to ALM Rangers and ALM MVPs.

Version Control Guidance team has split deliverables into two separate flights, one focused on the Git for TFVC User and the other on the three other guides (branching, TVFC and NuGet). The latter shipped a silent BETA to ALM Rangers and ALM MVPs.

triage #8

As outlined in what has changed in the home of the ALM Rangers during FY13 we introduced a quarterly triage of solution ideas. There are no new Visual Studio UserVoice ideas, assigned to the Rangers category, and we have more than enough “in-flight” and “getting ready for take-off” ideas on our flight plan status board as shown above. See you in triage #9 during July 2014!
