Learn about the latest updates
Every three weeks or so we update VSTS and provide a summary of new and updated features through our Product features timeline.
Platforms and version support
We add new features all the time, especially to our VSTS cloud offering. Later, most of these features make there way into our on-premises TFS product. To learn about whats new and coming, check out the Features timeline pages.
Our content supports both platforms—VSTS and TFS— and multiple versions of TFS. At the top of each topic, you'll see a platform/version heading to alert you as to which platforms and versions are supported. For example:
In general, a feature is supported for all subsequent versions of TFS, unless specifically noted. Some topics include a link to previous versions which describe how the feature worked for an earlier version of TFS.
If the platform-version heading is missing, and you're unsure of whether it's supported, click the Yes/No link and let us know through our content feedback channel.
What platform/version am I using?
You can tell what platform you use from the URL you use to connect to VSTS or TFS.
