An updated version called Visual SourceSafe 2005 was released in November 2005, promising improved performance and stability, better merging for [[Unicode]] and XML files, as well as the ability to check files out over HTTP.

At the same time, [[Microsoft]] also introduced a source control and project lifecycle management product called [[Team Foundation ServerVersion Control]] (TFVC), which iswas part of project lifecycle management product [[Visual Studio Team System]]. This product addresses many of the shortcomings or Visual SourceSafe's shortcomings, making it suitable for larger teams requiring high levels of stability and control over activities.

With [[Visual Studio 2010]], Microsoft no longer distributes Visual SourceSafe. Microsoft now offers Team Foundation Server Basic for smaller development teams.<ref>{{cite web|last=Krill |first=Paul |url=http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/microsoft-looks-move-sourcesafe-users-newer-technology-983 |title=Microsoft looks to move SourceSafe users to newer technology &#124; Developer World |publisher=InfoWorld |date=2009-09-30 |accessdate=2012-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302175.aspx |title=Visual SourceSafe Road Map |publisher=Msdn2.microsoft.com |accessdate=2012-04-13}}</ref> There is a [http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB976375 hotfix] so existing SourceSafe customers can use SourceSafe with Visual Studio 2010.
