Announcing Azure DevOps Server General Availability

Gloridel Morales
Senior Technical Program Manager

We’re thrilled to announce that Azure DevOps Server is now generally available (GA)! This release marks the transition from the Release Candidate (RC) phase to full production readiness, delivering enterprise-grade DevOps capabilities for organizations that prefer self-hosted solutions.

You can upgrade directly from Azure DevOps Server RC or any supported version of Team Foundation Server (TFS 2015 and newer). Head over to the release notes for a complete breakdown of changes included with this release.

Note: Team Foundation Server 2015 reached the end of Extended Support on October 14, 2025. We strongly recommend upgrading to Azure DevOps Server to maintain security and compliance.

Here are some key links:

We’d love for you to install this release and provide any feedback at Developer Community.

    Greetings.

    Previously, we’ve had:

    • Azure DevOps Server 2019.
    • Azure DevOps Server 2020.
    • Azure DevOps Server 2022.

    Is this latest new release supposed to be:

    • Azure DevOps Server 2025?

    If “yes”, then I’d like to report a bug, that this release is missing “2025” from the product title.

    If “no”, then could you inform us when can we expect the “Azure DevOps Server 2025” release, please?

    Thank you.

    Best regards.

    What is the actual version number for this release, and why doesn’t it get a versioning label in the release documentation?

    Hi there appears to be a bug in this version with the newer version of CodeSearch provided.
    When running Configure-TFSSearch.ps1 and installing code search on a separate Server/Tier it gives a error as below at the high level and the service never starts.

    <code>

    If you dig into the elastic logs a bit further this is the actual error. It appears somewhere is setting instead of when running?

    <code>

    Can this be looked at and fixed/patched please.
    Thanks

    Hello Gloridel

    Does this version include support for VS2026 (vsbuild, vstest, mstest) in the pipelines?
    and what about “Automate work item state transitions” which you stated that it will be added to the release notes (still not there….)

      Hi Liran, this version does not support VS2026 (vsbuild, vstest, mstest) in pipelines. We plan to add support for on-prem once it is fully deployed in the hosted version of the product.
      The release notes for Boards were updated to remove Automate Work Item State Transitions since this feature is not included in the current release.
