What's new in Beta 3.2?

Crispin Parker 10-08-2008, 11:39 AM
Today sees the release of two new task board beta clients; Beta 3.2 (for SfTS 2.x) and Beta 1 (for SfTS 1.2).

Beta 3.2 Change Log:

Bug Fix: Handler added for hung connection.

Previous Beta's would hang indefiently if the TFS application tier did not respond to an authentication request. A 20 second timeout has now been added for TFS authentication.
Bug Fix: Save All tries to save clean items.

Testers have reported that, on occassion, the task board would display error messages when performing a "Save All" for work items that had not been altered. The "Save All" functionality has been chnaged in an attempt to stop this behaviour.
Spellingz mistakes: Description mis-spelt on "Sprint Backlog Item" and "Bug" edit panels.

The "descrition" spelling mistake has been corrected.
New Feature: Support added for addtional custmised SBI states.

It is now possible to include additional custom workflow states for the "Sprint Backlog Item" work item. Several beta users have noted that they cannot support custimised SBI states through the task board. The need for additional work flow states can arise when a company requires addtional process steps during the sprint process. A common requirment is to include a blocked state. Watch this space for a blog post link that gives full coverage on how to include customised states.

As always, please post you thoughts and comments in the Task Board Beta forum.
