Release of PowerShell 7.0 – feature highlights.

The PowerShell product team released PowerShell 7.0 today (https://aka.ms/ps7now). The GA-release-blog-post is a more strategic info on whats the design thoughts where and where the product heads to.

I summarized my personal favorite new features from the former RC and Beta posts here in order of their announcement.

• Out-GridView returns Link
• Foreach-object -parallel Link
• Ternary Operator Link
• Start-Job -WorkingDirectory Link
• $erroraction = „break“ Link
• Chain Operator Link
• Null conditional operators Link
• Tab completion for variable assignment Link
• Get-Hotfix is back Link
• ConciseView and Get-Error for errors Link
• Get-Clipboard and Set-Clipboard CmdLets are back Link
• Performance Counter CmdLets are back Link
• Update-List Link
• Out-Printer Link
• Clear-Recyclebin Link
• Test-Connection improvements Link
• Import-Module allows import of Windows PowerShell Modules Link

Beneath this great list there is an unnumbered set of non-microsoft ressources to enhance and extend Powershell. A good starting point for this is awsome-powershell on GitHub.

And now: Install PS7 on your box and enjoy!
