Microsoft this week upgraded a tool enabling multiple IDEs to access the company's collaboration server for application lifecycle management, adding branching enhancements.

Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider allows a range of IDEs to access Team Foundation Server, the collaboration component of the Visual Studio 2005 Team System platform. Version 1.2 of the tool was made available this week.

Enhancements include the ability to handle branched solutions in Visual Studio 2003 and support for the Toad for SQL Server 2.0 database administration and SQL development application.
