New release of Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer

This is a very minor release, except for the fact it now brings support for TFS 2013 that so many people have been asking for.

New Features in this release

Requirement Coloring bug fix

The version for TFS 2012, fixes an issue where on non english versions of TFS the color for the (different type) of requirements were all the same.

Mark a blocked work item with a tag

Previous versions allowed you to easily visualized blocked work items. The only way to mark them as blocked, was setting the Blocked field (field with the Microsoft.VSTS.CMMI.Blocked reference name) to yes. This worked fine, if the process template didn’t had this field, you had to add it, but if you couldn’t change your process template then you couldn’t use this feature.

When I started doing this, it was just a small thing. I never expected it to become so big, so on this release most of the time was cleaning up the code (which grew very organically) to prepare it for future features. So this a very small release with only one features and two small improvements.

Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer: version .7 released

The first is the creation of the Team Foundation Board Enhancer (you can subscribe it here or on the form located on the right sidebar).

I’ve created the newsletter to better understand the number of people using the extension, I have some ideas on the number of users by the downloads, comments and the occasional email I receive.

Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer: version 2.6.2 released (for update 2 only)

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 23:50:00 +0000

New release of my Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer (previous versions 0.6.1, 0.6 , 0.5 , 0.4 , 0.3 , 02 and 0.1 ).

Let’s just start with standard disclaimer😀

This extension uses undocumented TFS mechanisms, this means _there is a risk _(which I’m not able to quantify) it will stop working in the future with new TFS releases or updates . If that happens, the fact that the extension no longer works, it will be my sole responsibility and not of Microsoft.

[Update: Version 0.5 has been released]

[Update: I’ve release version 0.4.2 to replace version 0.4.1 since a bug has been found on the Kanban board (the IDs were completely wrong). I guess I can now declare 0.4 the worst version released to date 😀 ]

[Update: I’ve released version 0.4.1 to replace version 0.4, which was totally broken on 2012 RTM. My Apologies to everyone who had already downloaded version 0.4 and has not upgraded to TFS 2012 Quarterly update yet]

Team Foundation Task Board Enhancer: More Features

Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:19:00 +0000

[Update: Version 0.3 has been released]

In a previous post (Team Foundation Task Board: Auto Refresh) I talked about how Team Foundation Server task board is missing some functionalities and how I implemented a Web Access Extension to augment it’s functionality. Version 0.1 implemented an auto refresh feature, so it could be used to display the task board in big unattended wall screen.

Even though the first version, only added the auto refresh feature, I mentioned this extension was called Task Board Enhancer because I wanted it to provide more than the auto refresh feature.

[Update: Version 0.3 has been released]

In a previous post I talked how you could enhance TFS task board by adding the work item ids to the cards using a bookmarklet and also mentioned several things that people usually want added to their task board (like card coloring).

In that post I didn’t mentioned a common request (was saving it for this post😀) is the ability for the task board to be automatically refreshed.
