It’s TFS Tool Time! TFS 2010 RTM compatibility Power Tools, MSSCCI and new Build Extension releases

Buck Hodges - TFS 2010 Power Tools are now available!

“Here is the first full release of Power Tools for TFS 2010!  Previously we had released versions for beta 2 and RC.  With this release the focus was to have parity with the 2008 power tools and fix bugs.  We’ll be adding new power tools in the next release (no date yet).

TFS Build Extension Power Tool  is an exciting new addition to our power tools line up.  The Build Extensions provide the ability to execute Ant or Maven 2 builds from Team Foundation Server and publish the results of the build along with any associated JUnit test results back to Team Foundation Server.  This release is compatible with Team Foundation Server 2005, Team Foundation Server 2008 and Team Foundation Server 2010.” [GD: Post Leached in Full]
