- Happy 15th birthday PowerShell! PowerShell is all about the community- thanks for all the support!
- Welcome Steven to the PM team
- We reached GA for PowerShell 7.2, check out the blog post and what's new documentation for details
- Please let us know if there are any issues
- We will be working on a PowerShell 7.3 roadmap/PowerShell all up in the coming months
- We are looking into geting PowerShell 7 in Windows, we are working on an RFC on the approach for this
- The two big challenges are size (PowerShell 7 needs to ship .Net with it) and support lifecycle (.Net only has a 3 year support lifecycle vs Windows requires 5)
- We released an update to our PowerShell Preview extension for VSCode in October
- Thank you so much to all the community support on this Preview release
- We expect this work to come to the stable extension in the coming months, we are working through bugs and updating our tests
- PowerShell 7.3-preview.1 is expected in December
- We plan to have our next preview release of PowerShellGet in December
- We have completed the PowerShell Gallery migration and hope to address more issues in the coming months
- The community can help by inviting more folks into the feedback loop for PowerShell
- We want to hear about the challenges you are facing in your work
- Look forward to a new effort to help feature teams have an awesome PowerShell experience
- The updatable help pipeline will point to the correct docs in the first servicing release for 7.2
- We have started moving PSSA docs out of the source repo and into the Microsoft Docs platform
- We are targeting GA for PSReadLine 2.2 in January, current focus is on stability
- PowerShell 7.2 is compatible with PSReadLine 2.2 beta4
- PSReadline 2.2 is compatible back to Windows PowerShell, but not all of the features will be available-- the AzPS predictor is only available on PowerShell 7.2+
- We are continuing work on OpenSSH-- look for multiple updates in the new year
- Steve will open an issue in the RFC repo for folks to comment if they would like to join the committees
- We dont have any plans for the providers, but it is not forgotten work
- We will have more to announce on DSCv3 next year
