Update to work with Azure DevOps Server 2020 #112

Open squillman opened 3 years ago

squillman commented 3 years ago

I have recently installed ADS 2020 on-premises and needed to have mail integration to an Exchange mailbox; exactly as mail2bug provides. However, the current codebase is too old for ADS 2020.

I forked the repository to try and get it working. I found that all it took was to update the projects to .NET 4.6.2 and to update the nuget packages to the latest versions. After that I was able to successfully integrate mail2bug with ADS 2020. (For .NET I just stuck with the minimum version supported by latest version of the nuget packages).

I was going to create a pull request, but I wasn't sure if that was something desirable on this repository or if there were plans for a different project to support ADS.

Is this change (updating to work with ADS 2020) something that would be appropriate for this project?

@squillman pull requests are indeed welcome! For the long term, we should look at moving to the REST APIs but we should still keep things functional until then. We just need to make sure backward compatibility is not broken (or at least be aware what’s broken if that’s unavoidable). Do you still have an older server where the updates can be verified?

Would also be helpful if you can share details of what happened when you tried to connect to the newer server. We haven’t seen any issues with ADO, though.

I can confirm that Mail2bug works with Azure Devops on-premises, I just compiled it for .Netframework 4.8 and followed the installation guide. Is this repo maintained, if so I can create a pull request.
