What version of TeamPlain are you releasing? - The initial download that is available today is TeamPlain V1.0. After we have run it through the Microsoft release process, we will be releasing TeamPlain version 2.0 as a VSTS Power Tool. V2 includes some cool new features, including Viewing/Managing builds, additional version control capability, AJAX support for a more responsive experience and larger project support, and much much more.
