Option to display line breaks for large HTML attributes in query results
In the web client, the line breaks can now be preserved for large HTML and text attributes in the query result output. For example, the text in the Description field of work items displayed as a query result. By default, the feature is enabled. You can change the setting on the Advanced Properties page. You can set the Query Result Maximum Row Height property to define the maximum number of rows that can be displayed for each query result. The default value is 500. To disable the feature, you can set the value to 0. When the value is 0, the output is presented as it used to display in the earlier versions. For more information, see Configuring advanced properties.

Users can opt out of automatic subscription to a work item
When you add a comment to a work item, you are automatically subscribed to the work item and you receive email notifications each time the item is updated. If you don’t want to be subscribed automatically to a work item when you add a comment, you can now choose to opt out of automatic subscription in the web client. To opt out, on the Mail Configuration page, clear the Subscribe me automatically when I add a comment checkbox. In 7.0.3, the option is removed from the Preferences page of the Eclipse client. You can configure the setting in the contributor’s profile or work items settings page in both web and Eclipse clients.However, Eclipse clients with versions earlier than 7.0.3 hold a higher preference and the new Contributor's profile setting is ignored.
