Migration Toolkit and TFS to TFS Tool updates
Today we released new versions of both the TFS Migration and Synchronization Toolkit and the TFS to TFS Migration Tool. Detailed information about the releases and the new file downloads are available on the CodePlex project pages for each of the respective projects:
Some of the significant changes in these releases include:
- Nearly 50 bugs fixed between the toolkit and the TFS to TFS tool
- The TFS to TFS tool is using the published version of the toolkit
- Changes to improve the compatibility with TFS 2008 (see the Release Notes for details)
- Improved support for the migration of branches and merges
- Improved installation for the TFS to TFS tool
- Fixed reference samples for the toolkit
While these releases do contain a significant amount of value, there are still a number of known issues, as listed on the CodePlex pages. Currently, both of these releases are listed as pre-releases, and they should be treated as such (i.e. test and create backups before using in a production environment). We're also working on plans for future releases where we hope to address some of the functional limitations (i.e. date compression) as well as improve the overall quality and reliability.
If you have any feedback on either of these releases, be sure to post on the Discussion or Issue Tracker pages on the CodePlex sites.
