Admin, Ops, and Setup

New technology improvements:

• Added an option, tfsconfig updates /reapply, that will start the service host if it has been left in a stopped state after patching.

Fixed issues:

• Upgrade from Visual Studio 2008 fails if @@SERVERNAME is NULL.
• Update could not be installed correctly if the configuration database is being mirrored.
• Installing an update fails if one of the collections is not available.

Build automation

Fixed issues:

• You could not delete build drops if a controller went down. 
• The first changeset in the list of "Associated Changesets" may occur two times. 
• Ancient changesets are associated with build.
• Memory leaks and performance drops on TFS 2010 Build Service under heavy loads.
• A Dr. Watson error occurs on the buildnotification.exe process together with a system.argumentnullexception exception.
• A Dr. Watson error occurs on the tfsbuildservicehost.exe process together with a 0xC000001D exception.
• Change the default in What to Delete, under Build Retention, from All to All - Test Result.
• When you manually queue a gated check-in build, the What do you want to build drop-down list is intermittently disabled. 
• Build Definition Cache on the Application Tier can become corrupted when multiple definitions map or cloak the same paths in the workspace templates.
• When you undo a gated check in, the undo does not remove unshelved adds from the disk. This creates a cluttered workspace that could let breaking check ins make it through.
• You can unintentionally change the build quality of a project because of odd focus and scroll wheel interaction.
• There was a performance issue with TFS 2010 Build Log Viewer.

Core services

Fixed issues:

• QueryActiveRequests shows requests that do not contain the associated threads. 
• QueryActiveRequests occasionally stops, becomes unresponsive, and never returns.
• The server plug-in architecture disables plug-ins when an exception is thrown.
• A transport-level error occurs when Core Services received results from the server.
• A Dr. Watson error occurs together with a SqlException exception and the message, "Failed to load Msxmlsql.dll."
• The Security service crashes when you have two paths that are different only by the letter "I" on a Turkish database.
• The Attach action fails when custom instance groups are members of collection groups.
• A Dr. Watson error occurs on the tfsjobagent.exe process together with an exception in SYSTEM.DATA.SQLCLIENT.SQL.
• You cannot stop the configuration service host if there is a running job that will take a long time to finish.
• A process that calls ApplicationServiceHost.BeginRequest may prevent the service host from stopping until the request context that was passed to that method is disposed of.
• You cannot detach an Offline Collection.

Office integration 

Fixed issues:

• Add the Work Item ID and the Title to the subject line of the email message when you export a single work item.
• Non-TFS project plan displays the error TF80070 when you change work in Task Usage view to the side-by-side view, and a bound project plan is open.
• You cannot undo a sort in Excel Trees, and then you clear Sort and Filter. In this case, unexpected results might occur when you try to publish a workbook.
• A disconnected client displays the error message "Server not available" for every table in a workbook.
• Error TF208021 occurs when you convert to a tree query that only contains one WI by Configure list.
• You receive an Access Violation when you create an instance of CLSID {23A20EA8-2DF0-40a6-A1FA-8143EDB7B172}. 
• If a filter is set on the Gantt View, a work item can be parented incorrectly when the work item is brought into the project plan through an update on the Team Planner view.
• Adding additional resources to a summary task does not reset all assignment units to 0 percent.
• A "An item with the same key has already been added" error occurs when you try to publish a TFS work item link from Microsoft Project.

Reporting

Fixed issues:

• TFSOlapProcessComponent's class ICancelable implementation has to call server.Disconnect(false) in addition to CancelCommand().
• Microsoft SQL Server deadlocks during the prc_Dimension_DimFile_AddUpdate SQL exception procedure.
• You cannot insert a duplicate key row in object 'dbo.DimFile' that has a unique index 'DimFile_FileBK'.     
• Jobs are not deleted when reporting is disabled. This results in inaccurate data that is displayed on reports.
• The WIT Warehouse adapter relies on the WorkItemsAre and WorkItemsLatest tables that have the same [Changed Order] values. In this case, Warehouse processing fails, and you receive the following error: 
  
  
  The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed.

Team Web Access

Fixed issues:

• The Web Access UI does not react to locked links.
• The View Log command cannot show content when you use a Firefox 3.5 browser.
• When you build a web part, the build queries more data than is necessary. This can lead to a performance issue when lots of builds are processed.
• A localized web access site points to ENU MSDN pages for help content.

Version control

New technology improvements:

• Adds support for QueryMergesExtended to query merge targets for a given item
• Adds changes to baseless merge for deleted items and cherry picks
• Adds changes to make the comparison for Get and Remap commands case-sensitive 

Fixed issues:

• Branch mappings obtain the wrong mapping.
• Blocking problems occur on check in and remove access control list actions.
• Product changes to remove redundant content are added.
• Merge and Unshelve bad query plans and the rename merge issue are addressed.
• Query plan fix for check in and fix for infinite merge loop are addressed.
• Syncing to a label that has a duplicate name but different scope in the system produces unpredictable results.
• After you open a solution, the database node in Server Explorer becomes fully expanded, and you are prompted to add a database diagram.
• Comparing a file after renaming its parent does not work.
• You cannot determine one branch from another branch when they have the same name.
• A lock on a file is orphaned on check in when the parent is renamed and checked in in another workspace.

• An upgrade from Team Foundation Server 2005 or Team Foundation Server 2008 adds ACEs for shelvesets and for workspaces. This incorrectly keeps identities alive. 
• Issues occur with the Turkish letter "I" on large check ins.
• A candidate delete is lost when you perform a merge in a folder rename.
• When you try to merge a rename and a delete on a file, the results cause inconsistencies in the version control database.
• Merge does not conflict in some cases after a merge or discard in same direction. 
• You receive the error "System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: The connection was closed." when you try to download a source. 

Work item tracking

• Backward compatible verbatim error message was missing.
• An HTML server truncates stack traces that contain hyperlinks that use quotation marks.
• An error on a Work Item form occurs in TFS when an object reference is not set to an instance of an object.

• SERVERDEFAULT from currentuser does not work when the fields are marked with the SyncNameChanges field, and this field is set to True.
• After an upgrade, the allowed values in fields that are marked with the syncnamechanges field when this field is set to True may block the WIT import.
• Bypassing workflow rules is broken if you delete a field that existed before the last servicing operation.
• An index exists on the title field.
• When you use a Visual Studio 2005 or a Visual Studio 2008 client, you encounter a red "X" on the reporting node of the team explorer.
• The process template is not uploaded if a work item type definition references project level groups.

Previous issues

Version control

Fixed issues:

• When you convert a folder that has subfolders to a branch folder on a hierarchy root folder, and then you rename the folder and its subfolders, Visual Studio crashes.
• Unshelve reports bogus errors about a null DownloadUrl when dependent renames are shelved, and child item names overlap.
• When you have an incorrect query plan on QueryPendingChanges, and you run a query, all users' pending changes could result in bad performance.
• Merge or discard in both directions cause unnecessary "empty" merges in future merge attempts.
• An issue in merge causes a conflict not to be generated when there is a rename in the target and source.
• Very aggressive automatic detection of file encoding can result in unsuitable encoding mismatches during merges.

Work item tracking

Fixed issue:
