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!
