The following upgrade paths apply to this release. Supported upgrades. Technology improvementsThe following technology improvements were made in this release.
Download Visual Studio Community for a free, full-featured IDE with powerful coding productivity features, cross-platform mobile development support for Windows, iOS and Android, and access to thousands of extensions. This edition of Visual Studio is available at no cost for nonenterprise application development.
You can create trend charts and aggregate data from work item queries. When a new work item chart is created, you can see three new chart types: Stacked Area, Area, and Line.
You can move items in the backlog to the top position Move to Top or to any position you want to determine Move to Position. Web Access can generate an email directly from the work item view by using a new toolbar command. With the free Stakeholder License, Stakeholders can view the backlog, edit items, run work item queries, and many other operations.
Product backlog items can now be assigned to iterations even in hierarchical views such as Features to Stories and Stories to Tasks. When you are linking work items, you can find the target work items by running an existing query or based on text in the title.
Visual Studio now scans or rescans a solution and then updates the database much more quickly for large solutions. Therefore, the browsing process should be much more responsive, and you should experience fewer situations in which you are blocked when you perform browsing operations such as Go To Definition on large solutions.
You can also inspect timing data of each GPU event if supported graphics cards are present and the latest drivers are installed. The size of CodeLens data that is stored in a Team Foundation Server database was reduced by removing duplicated information and reformatting. Only changes in the last 12 months are used to calculate CodeLens Team Indicators. You can see the period for which CodeLens data is shown on the tooltip and in the details.
You can also view the full file history from CodeLens details. Therefore, you will use less network resources for CodeLens because the data is now compressed. When CodeLens temporary data size increases beyond a certain limit in your Team Foundation Server database, processing of past changes will be paused.
Processing will restart automatically after temporary data is cleaned up. Associated Test Suites pane shows all test suites that contain a given test case.
The list of test suites is scoped for all test plans across all team projects. Recent Test Results pane shows the recent test results associated with a test case for all configurations, test suites, and test plans. You can create snapshot or trend charts with test case fields to track test authoring activity.
You can create snapshot charts with test results fields to track test execution activity. You can view and filter tests by tags in the Test Hub and bulk edit tags of test case in the gird view. Additionally, there are the following new features:. Reload Schemas context menu Visual Studio will cache the schema that is downloaded from Internet and will use the cache even after you restart Visual Studio.
IntelliSense for package. Duplicate property validationThe JSON editor will now provide validation for any duplicate properties.
This helps catch a common problem with JSON file authoring. This is to make sure that the content of that syntax is not treated as being HTML and therefore being invalidated, nor does it try to format them, which cannot be done correctly by using the HTML formatter.
This is great for Angular, Handlebars, Mustache, and other double-curly template syntaxes. Support for custom elements, polymer-elements and attributes HTML Editor no longer validates unknown attributes for custom elements, because there will be many custom made tags in different frameworks.
Therefore, there will no longer be squiggles under the unknown elements. You can use surrounding snippet to enclose the current selection as well. The feature can be disabled in the toolbar. Microsoft ASP. This release has no new features or software updates in MVC. We made a change in Web Pages for a significant performance improvement, and have subsequently updated all other dependent packages we own to depend on this new version of Web Pages. Net 6. NET 6. This release has no other new features or software updates in Web API.
We have subsequently updated all other dependent packages we own to depend on this new version of Web API. SignalR 2. See its release note on GitHub.
Microsoft Owin 3. See this Owin 3. Check here for detailed information. Use tags when you deploy to a vNext environment Now, you can use tags together with the servers in your vNext Azure or standard environments. When a stage is deployed, these actions are performed on any server that contains this tag. Therefore, you have to create the set of actions only one time for multiple servers. By using vNext tags, you can also switch the deployment order from parallel to sequence. Access to system variables for your deployment sequences or scripts By popular user demand, you can now access system variables in the same manner as other configuration variables and you can use them in your release template.
You do not have to hardcode these variables any longer. Reduce the need for configuration files to deploy your builds You can now set up configuration variables for your release at the global, server, component, and action levels. This additional flexibility means that you may no longer have to maintain configuration files together with your build. Manual intervention with a vNext release path Now you can add manual steps to a stage in a vNext release path, and you can add a manual intervention activity to your deployment sequence.
When the notification is triggered in that sequence, the deployment pauses, and then you can run some manual steps before you continue to process the rest of the automation for the release path.
Build drops that are stored on TFS servers If you have set up your build definition to copy the build output to the server and not to a UNC path, vNext components in Release Management can now use the builds that are stored on the server.
Deploy from a build drop by using a shared UNC path Now you can use release management to deploy to servers by using build drops that are located on a shared Universal Naming Convention UNC path. You can deploy if both the target server and the Release Management server have access to the shared UNC path. Visual Studio Update 4 includes performance improvements and software updates for the Application Insights Tools for Visual Studio.

Tag test cases in a suite with any tag that is important to you. For example, tag all the tests related to login so that you can rerun these tests if a bug is fixed for the login page.
Then you can filter on that tag from the test hub. You can add and edit tags when you edit a test case, or bulk edit tags in the grid view. Pull requests are a critical component of the developer workflow in Git. Now developers can use pull requests to help review and merge their code. Pull requests enable developers working in branches to get feedback on their changes from other developers before adding their code into the mainline.
Any developer participating in the review can see the code changes, leave comments in the code, and give a "thumbs up" approval. The many small improvements to Team Foundation Server TFS with Update 4 help make it easier for you to use our tools to get your work done faster. Query-based chart authoring now includes trend charts: Stacked Area, Area, and Line.
You can visualize trends across a one-week, two-week, or four-week time range. In addition to field counts, you can now sum a field value across work items returned in a flat-list query. These new chart types can also be pinned to your home pages. If you had a large backlog, it was hard to drag and drop items to a different position. The context menu for backlog items now contains options to move an item directly to the top or to a specific position in the backlog.
Be aware that with this change, we removed the field that tracks backlog priority from the work item forms in the default TFS process templates. If you run daily standup or view large backlogs, it is useful to be able to maximize the screen space and see as many items at once. Now you can hide all the chrome in the UI and have full-screen views of the backlog and boards.
The toggle to enter full screen mode works for all the pages under the Backlogs and Queries tabs in the Work hub. Press ESC to return to the full work item view.
You can now enter full screen mode for rich-text fields to help improve the readability and usability. For example, the Steps to Reproduce field can be maximized as shown below. The button toggles the text area between full screen mode and the work item view. This keeps your position in the query. From hierarchical views, you can now assign product backlog items to iterations with drag and drop. Finding the path you want in large, deeply nested trees can be difficult.
With inline search, values that match what you type are instantly highlighted. For example, type Team to highlight all path entries that contain the word Team in their name. Previously it was a two-step process to click the link, and then click the "navigate to…" command at the top of the text area.
Teams now have greater flexibility in how they track bugs. While team projects created with the Scrum process template include bug tracking on the backlog, other process templates do not.
Each team can either view the bugs with the product backlog or not include them. For more information about adding bugs to the task board, see Add a work item type to a backlog and board. Track work and share information more easily using some of the new features listed below and highlighted in the work item form pictured.
There is no longer a hard limit on the number of items in the first and last columns of the Kanban board. Now you can configure this limit to have up to items. In Visual Studio, there has always been a dialog box to find a work item that you want to link to, but with Team Web Access you could only type the work item ID to find it. With Update 4, you get a similar dialog box to find the work item you want to link to. You can run an existing query or find the work item based by searching for its title.
With Update 4, all access levels have been renamed. The new names correspond to the same names used for Visual Studio Team Services licensing. With this change, we have enhanced the feature set support for the Stakeholder access.
Stakeholders have access to the project home page and most of the "work" related functionality. This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to view the backlog, add and edit items, and run work item queries. Any number of users can be assigned a stakeholder license at no charge. See more details here. For a complete description of technology improvements, bug fixes, and known issues in this release, see KB article for Visual Studio Update 4.
