New Source Code Control Features:
- Folder Changes Archive
- Merge Branches Auto Advance
- Copy Label
Want to get just the files that were modified after a certain date? Or perhaps you need to get files that have changed after a label -- use the Folder Changes Archive feature. Folder Changes Archive creates a .zip file containing only files changed in a given date or label range.
You can now run merge branches with fewer steps. Skip the informational dialogs that don't require input!
Copy Label creates a copy of an existing file or folder label. This allows you to promote labels and maintain your code at a certain state, but still continue to promote the contents.

Work Item Relationships
Support has been added for relationships between work items, including "duplicate," "related to," and "depends on."
Within a work item, you can add links to other related work items. For instance, one work item might need to be updated before another work item can be addressed.
Improved Work Item Changeset Associations
Changesets may now be associated with work items from the work item page as well as from the commit dialog.
If you didn't associate a work item when you checked in your code, you can now create the association after the checkin.

- The Web UI has been streamlined to use a dashboard-like view
- The GUI client now features a more customizable interface, with dockable views for Pending changes, Messages, Search, and Find in Files, and others.
