Did you fix the bug where "get latest recursive" when using the Internet connector does not get new files added to the project/solution? I see no mention of this in the bug fix list. It was reported in Connect issue # 178155. See also forum thread http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=617960&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=0

The bug essentially makes the internet connector worthless.

I see that #178155 was closed as not reproducible, however many users reported that the failure involving the Internet connector is reproducible.

Thanks,

Toby

The forum thread and Connect bug were before I took over VSS, so I don't know the exact details. From what I can see, I agree with Roman and Alin that it's a very serious bug. If you can still reproduce it, I recommend calling Customer Support so they can bring the repro in-house and generate a hotfix request.

I'll install the GDR CTP on the server and client and hopefully get some time to test it next week. We had an off-site developer this past spring waste a lot of time trying to use the Internet connector til we figured out that new files are never retrieved when doing Get Latest. He went back to VPN (slow as snails) and we've not used the Internet connector since. Will advise.

Only the final release will be localized, sorry.
