Brian Harry (from Microsoft VS team) posted a blog entry about TFS 2010 power tools. Brian lists the removed features power tool feature. Cool down! Removed because these features now is a TFS product feature. No need to install power tools for these features.
Quotes from Brian’s post:
- Build Notifications – Now BuildNotification.exe in Team Explorer 2010
- TFS Users – No longer needed because TFS now automatically handles user name changes. More user manipulation is now shipping in “tfsconfig identities”
- tfpt Rollback command – Now in the product as “tf rollback”.
- tfpt History command – The ability to follow branches is now in Team Explorer 2010
- tfpt DestroyWI command – Shipped as witadmin destroywi
- tfpt DestroyWITD command – Shipped as witadmin destroywitd
- tfpt TweakUI command – Incorporated into the product
- tfpt Destroygl – Shipped as witadmin destroygloballist
- tfpt ChangedocUrl – Incorporated into Project/Excel addins.
- tfpt Workspace command – Added to tf workspace
