VS2013 is now on inbound and all Windows builds are green. (Win64 builds were actually switched late last week, as they are unaffected by trains.)
Please file bugs blocking 914596 if you encounter any VS2013-specific issues. If you're not sure what version you're running, you can: * Check the package: VS2013 builds contain msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll. VS2010 builds contain msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll. * Check the build log: VS2013 logs contain the string 'Compiler Version 18.00'. VS2010 logs contain the string 'Compiler Version 16.00'.
