Review 2021
2021 was another COVID-mostly-online-homeoffice year. The PowerShell team released a couple of products over the year, and the most important ones are listed here:
- SecretStore and SecretManagement (March 25)
- PlatyPS 2.0.0-Preview1 (May 20)
- Announcing PSDesiredStateConfiguration on PowerShell Gallery (May 14)
- PowerShell Crescendo RC (December 9)
- PowerShell 7.2 (November 8)
- Others like VS-Code Extensions, minor release-updates of PS and the ecosystem.
There have also been some some unexpected announcement and uncompleted projects like:
- PSArm is dicontinued (August 11)
Bicep is the winner on this technology and PSArm made no sense anymore as it was a wrapper on Biceps anyway. - Ongoing work on PowerShellGet and PowerShellgallery.com
This should come to an end in 2022 as we meanwhile have PowerShellGet RC 12 and still the old version of PowerShellgallery running.
PowerShell plans for 2022
As we have
|
1 |
(Get-Date).AddYears('1') |
now, lets look into the glass-sphere and see what the PowerShell team is going to do in the next 12 months based on current projects and announcements.
- PowerShell Core
Will move forward to 7.3 and continue to get better, broader easier to deploy and update. We expect a plan for 7.3 in Q1/2022 - Windows PowerShell will still be the „Standard“ as it is default on Windows Servers and Clients. This means for script and module developers that we still have to maintain modules on both platforms.
- Crescendo will most likely hit a release and some hotfixes and feature updates in 2022. Hopefully the community grows and we see a lot of examples.
- VS-Code Extension is an ongoing effort and makes our lives easier from release to release. Even debuggig gets more stable and i hope this continues.
- PowerShellGet – Even as agnistoc, i am getting religious again on this one. All may prayers to you dear team, PLEEASE finish this mess as publishing to the Gallery is a nightmare.
