The Visual Studio team has released an update (July update) of the Team Foundation Server Power Tools.  They add a few new features to the TFS environment, and the one that I like the best is the “Build Notification tool.”  If you are using VSTFS than you’ll probably want to add these Power Tools to your environment, since the price is right: Free!

Here’s the description from the download site of what’s in the Power Tools:

The Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server Power Tools is a set of enhancements, tools and command line utilities that improve the Team Foundation Server user experience.
The following tools are installed with the tfpt.msi package:

  • Command line tool (TFPT.EXE)
  • Team Explorer IDE menu additions
  • Build Notification tool
  • TFS Best Practices Analyzer
  • Process Template Editor
