I have released a new version of the buddy build tool to introduce a new little tool called Work Item Explorer. There are no buddy build-related updates or bug fixes in this release. There were also no changes made to the MSBuild Tasks or the Buddy Build web service.
I will write a blog entry describing the Work Item Explorer tool in a little more detail, but for now, in a nutshell, the Work Item Explore tool allows you to browse work items by area or iteration by navigating down the areas or iterations tree structure, in much the same way you would do in Windows Explorer when looking for files. This is a little different than the traditional way of work item navigation in TFS that is essentially query-driven.
Enjoy!
