Release v1.1.0 - The Modernization Update 🚀

I am excited to announce the first major release of jPowerShell2! This version is a complete overhaul of the original library, focused on performance, modern Java standards, and cross-platform flexibility.

🌟 What's New?

• Java 21 Support: We now utilize Virtual Threads (Project Loom) for I/O handling. This makes sessions extremely lightweight and allows for high-concurrency without thread exhaustion.
• Zero-Delay I/O: Optimized the CommandProcessor to eliminate artificial wait times (waitPause). The library now reacts instantly as soon as PowerShell provides output.

🌐 PowerShell Core (pwsh) Integration

• Full support for PowerShell Core (7+).
• New openSession(boolean useCore) method to easily target pwsh on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Improved UTF-8 handling for cross-platform consistency.

🔄 Asynchronous API

Added executeCommandAsync(String command), returning a CompletableFuture. Run your PowerShell tasks in the background without blocking your main application logic.

🛠 Improvements & Refactoring

• Efficient Script Execution: Used transferTo for faster script loading from JAR resources.
• Regex-free Trimming: Improved string processing performance by replacing heavy Regex with manual whitespace trimming.

⚠️ Important Note on Requirements

This release requires Java 21 or higher to take advantage of Virtual Threads and modern I/O features.

💻 Quick Start

try (PowerShell ps = PowerShell.openSession(true)) { // true = Use PowerShell Core
    var response = ps.executeCommand("Get-Date");
    System.out.println(response.getCommandOutput());
}
