Fissum 0.7 development is about to finish, and I what to share with you the new major features of this version:
- Window position is stored when they are reopened.
You can use any allowed character (for example ",") to create hierarchy in your queries:
The history window stores the last opened or modified work items. It comes with the same functionalities as the query window
- Word search in the quick go to form:
You have now two alternatives in the "quick go to" windows:
- enter an id and open a single work item
- type a word and launch a search for all the work item of the selected server with the word in the title or description :
That's all the the Fissum program itself. Fissum is now based on a API called "Fissum API". This API is not linked to the Fissum itself. It can be used to develop other TFS tools. This API is splitted in several parts:
- Fissum.TeamSystem is a direct layer with some enhancement over the TFS API
- Fissum.Core is the core assembly. This API exposes a Fissum Context that can be used to exploit the Fissum configuration for other programs and exposes the same configuration for all of them.
- Fissum.Core.Windows is a set of user controls over the TFS API like the Work Item control, Work Item List, and a master-detail Work Item list. They exactly are the controls used by Fissum itself.
- Fissum.Core.Linq is a implementation of LINQ over the WIQL Language. I'll make a specific post on it.
- Model generation tools to generate work item code models over the work item process template. This feature can be used to develop tools dedicated to specific template. This tool is build over Linq to WIQL.
This API is not frozen yet. A preview version will be released with some demo programs with Fissum 0.7
