Notes

  • RFCs
    • Keep eyes peeled for blog on RFC process
    • Check out 7.0-Consider milestone on PowerShell-RFC repo to give opinion on RFCs PS Team would like for 7.0
      • Also looking at community RFCs
    • Jason is putting together a YouTube video on RFC process and ErrorView in particular
    • Current ErrorView tends to obscure a lot of the important aspects of the error message with verbosity, and we're looking to simplify it significantly.
  • PowerShell 7 releases
    • 7.0-Preview.3 is releasing next week
    • There will be a preview.4
    • We would like to ship at the end of this calendar year to align (roughly) with .NET Core 3.1 GA
    • Desire to have a release candidate (RC) in November
      • Only critical bug fixes assuming that there are no major problems with this release
      • If something is experimental in RC, it will stay experimental in GA
  • Out-GridView working fully cross-platform with -PassThru support
    • Also has a "Show Code" button that saves your column filters as Where-Object filters
    • Con: ships at 280 MBs due to native GUI code for each OS
      • Looking for opportunities to reduce this in the future
      • One hacky proposal: delete the other native dependencies at install time
    • Check out the repo at https://github.com/powershell/GraphicalTools
    • Long-term, we have a desire to support RIDs at install-time in the Gallery, no ETA there
  • Update on putting SQL module on GitHub?
    • Nothing to share right now
  • Guest management cmdlets on macOS/Linux
    • The WindowsCompatibility module works through Windows PowerShell / .NET in order to run those Windows PS cmdlets. We may invest in native binary wrappers for macOS/Linux in the future, but nothing we're committing to now.
  • Code/test coverage
    • Jim looking to tools like Coverlet for cross-platform code coverage
    • Jim will create an issue in the PowerShell issue for anyone looking to help out there
  • Backlog of community PRs
    • Team is focused on some feature work, and will pivot back to more PR reviews soon
