Power Pack 1.2 has been released with brand new support for Microsoft Team
Foundation Server and an all-new flexible licensing scheme.
As a bonus, we're also now offering 2 free licensed seats of Power Pack to
every Review Board server! See below for more information.
Microsoft Team Foundation Server
This release introduces support for reviewing code stored on
Microsoft Team Foundation Server
repositories. Team Foundation Server, or TFS, provides source code management,
project management, automated builds, and more, and is deeply integrated with
Microsoft Visual Studio.
With Power Pack, you can now configure all your TFS repositories quickly and
easily, without any of the custom scripts, patches, or workarounds that were
once needed. It's fully supported by the makers of Review Board.
Using RBTools 0.7.1 or higher,
developers can post or update changes against configured TFS repositories with
one command, without having to manually generate or convert diffs. Developers
can also view commits in the Review Board web UI and post any existing commits
for review with one click.
Note that currently, only TFVC repositories are supported. Git repositories
stored on TFS will be supported in a future update.
Flexible Licensing
In prior releases of Power Pack, a license had to be purchased for the entire
server. In larger companies, this made it difficult to justify Power Pack
licenses when needed only by select teams.
We've made our licensing model much more flexible. A license can now be
purchased containing a fixed number of seats, and those seats can be assigned
in a number of ways:
- Manually assigned to specific users.
- Manually assigned to all users in one or more review group.
- Automatically assigned to users in one or more review groups whenever they join the group.
- Automatically assigned to all users on a server when they join.
It's easier and more affordable than ever to get started with Power Pack.
