SourceSafe 2005 Update is available for download!

I'm very pleased to announce that the wait is over.  Today the first official update for SourceSafe 2005 went live on the web.  Download away -- it's only 3.5MB.

To quickly bring new readers up to date: this update is a rollup of 64 VSS bug fixes.  We focused hard on customer pain points; almost 3/4 of these fixes came directly from people like you filing bugs on Connect and/or calling Customer Support.  The result is a variety of improvements to performance, stability, and reliability, plus a few long-time annoyances.  In addition, we focused on compatibility with VS 2008 and Vista.  I've gone into detail on those topics before so I won't repeat myself. 
VS2008
Vista part1 part2

On the other hand, if you've stayed up to date with our VSS releases and are currently running the CTP, there's still plenty here for you.

• full support for all 6 languages (English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, Spanish)
• no manual install step
• 7 extra bug fixes, including some we thought were severe enough to push back this ship date twice :)

  Should this be installed on the server side too? I saw no notes about this on the release notes.

  Thanks a lot for this update. The file information given at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943847 may need to be fixed. The new version seems to be 8.0.50727.1551 instead of 8.0.50727.941

  I installed the SourceSafe 2005 Update but I got the unexpected error from time to time when I perform the "Get Latest version (recursive)" in Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 installed. Please refer to the error message snapshot in SourceSafe 2005 http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j162/wyattwong/VisualSourceSafe2005Error.jpg for details.

  If you selected "VB developer" the first time you ran VS, the "Source Control" section of Tools -> Options is hidden until you click "more options" at the bottom of the dialog.
