If users are using TFS 2010 or above then I think tfschangelog.codeplex.com is a good tool.

TFS ChangeLog applicatoin allows users to automatically generate release notes from TFS. Users will have to provide information on thier project, branch and changeset range and then TFS ChangeLog application will extract information from each changeset in a given range and all the associated workitems to such changesets. i.e. it will travel from starting changeset upto ending changeset and will extract data about each changeset along with associated workitems in an XML file.

Users can then use their own transformation logic including filter, sorting, styling, output formatting, etc. to generate Release Notes Report.

TFS ChangeLog application support command line interface as well so that users can generate Release Notes based on windows schedule task.

Hope this is useful.

Murli, I'm not sure how to explain what you are seeing. Here is how it is supposed to work.

Currently the Fixed In field will get updated by each build until the first successful build. That is, if there are four failed builds before a successful one, the work item will be updated five times.

Hey

I have a requirement in our project, we have our custom msbuild which sends the list of work items list fixed in the current build through mail. The workItems are selected based on the value of the FixedIn field value which is typically the current Build No. Now if the build fails then we have to manually update the Fixed In fields of All the workItem so that in the next build once again the workitem list is generated,as it only picks the workitems Fixed In the current build version..
