Can I create ASP.NET-5 projects in Visual Studio 2013 somehow?

Migration from visual studio from 2005 to 2015

I am trying to migrate legacy code, consisting of thousand of lines code from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2015.We have searched all over the internet but haven't found any useful resource.Can anyone please help us regarding this??
May be it will help you:
According to article "Many widely used assets behave the same in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013 and the two earlier versions". You may need convert to VS2012 and use it in VS2015.
Did you test this: github?
In the internet there are some articles migrate for example: VS2005 to VS2008 and VS2008 to VS2012. Try to use 2 step conversions.
The best way to manually migrate: create empty project in VS2012, move your files from the old projects

Can I use Visual Studio Community 2015 without .NET?

I'm looking for a new html/jquery/css IDE to edit and publish existing websites. Can I use Visual Studio Community 2015 to edit a website that doesn't use .NET and publish it to a server using ftp?
Yes you can use Visual Studio as your main editor. Select any ASP.NET project as your starting point, delete everything in the project and you're good to go. You can add a Publish Profile to enable web deployment (which supports FTP).
It will require the concept of a "Project File" for most features to work well. There is the old Web Site project which just works on any folder, but that hasn't seen much love in the past years. It's new cousin is being introduced with Visual Studio 15 (which will likely be Visual Studio 2016 or 2017).
As an alternative you may want to look at Visual Studio Code as well, it's the light weight cousin of Visual Studio Community Edition and is suited perfectly for the kind of work you're planning it seems.

Migrate Business Intelligence Development Studio 2005 .dtsx files to 2010

I have an old project using SSIS for data integration. I must use Visual studio 2005 with MySQL 2005. It doesn't seems to work if I mix 2010/2005. My question is can I migrate my .dtsx files to Visual studio 2010 ? I would like to not use many version of visual studio if possible.
After googling around about this dark technology I didn't found any revelant source of information. So any doc or pointer would be greatly appreciated.
This is not currently possible please see this SSIS team blog post http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mattm/archive/2010/05/13/ssis-and-visual-studio-2010.aspx

Where can I find the Visual Studio 2010 RTM release notes?

Question
Where can I find a list of changes introduced to Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RTM that were added since Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate RC?
In fact, I'm only interested in changes related to MS Test Manager 2010 and Coded UI Tests.
Where I have looked so far
I have
searched the Internet,
looked for a readme.txt in the installation folder,
looked into the Visual Studio help (F1) and
browsed the "What's new in Visual Studio 2010" section on MSDN.
No luck.
Found Scott Guthrie's blog post Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4 Released, but that's not exactly what I am looking for. It's not a changelog since VS2010RC.
I suppose there is no such file because they made too many changes to document and hand out to end users. But if there was, I'd be glad if someone could point me to it. Thanks.
I suppose actually there are no interesting changes except improving performance and fixing some bugs that are major enough to accept risk of changes. I think so because they actively refuse any change requests in Microsoft Connect and in blogs saying that product is already designed, developed and tested and now they are working only on performance.
