Compatibility

Visual Studio 2012 provides cutting-edge tools and technologies to create apps that are optimized for the latest platforms. It will also target earlier platforms so you can create new apps or modernize existing apps that execute on earlier versions of Windows.

The .NET Framework 4.5 is also installed as part of Visual Studio 2012. .It has focused on top developer requests across all key technologies. Includes new features for Asynchronous programming in C# and Visual Basic and support for state machines in Windows Workflow. Increased investments in HTML5 and CSS3 in ASP.NET.

Changes in Visual Studio 2012 Update 5:

Technology improvements

Team Project Rename support for Local Workspaces: Team Project Rename is a new feature added in Team Foundation Server 2015. For Visual Studio 2012.5, we’ve included the ability to update local workspaces after a team project is renamed. Performing a get or check-in automatically corrects the workspace mapping so that it uses the new team project name.

Fixed issues

In Source Control Explorer, a branch operation causes an error and is not completed.
Consider the following scenario in Visual Studio 2012 before Update 5:
You create a new branch from an existing branch.
You switch Team Projects or servers without closing Visual Studio.
You perform a new branch operation on another existing branch.
In this scenario before Update 5, the branch operation generated an error and was not completed. Visual Studio incorrectly treated the new folder as a regular folder instead of a branch until Visual Studio was restarted.

Note: This issue applies only to a Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC) instance that is hosted on either Team Foundation Server (TFS) or Visual Studio Online. Git version control is unaffected by this issue.
