I’ve written a couple of posts about our issues with Update 1 and what we’ve learned from it. You can get and overview in me retrospective summary. You can also read about the list of bugs that we’ve found that we feel we should not have missed.
As always, we are committed to providing a quality product and we’ll fix the issues short term and we’ll also revisit the process long term to prevent recurrence.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that, as far as we know, only about 10 customers have hit the issues I listed. While 1 customer hitting them is unacceptable, it’s good to know that it’s a pretty small fraction of Update 1 installs that have been affected.
Today we are releasing a hot fix that addresses all of the issues I listed – the 4 we introduced in Update 1 and the 1 that we want to fix that was in RTM. You can download and apply the hotfix here. You can also read more in the KB article.
This install will not be a full reinstall like Update 1 was – it will just update some files on your install and leave all of your configuration in tact. Also, this update need only be installed on your TFS app tiers. None of the bug fixes apply to any other TFS or VS components.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
