Welcome to the new and improved PowerShell for Visual Studio Code!

This update represents a complete overhaul of the core PowerShell engine of PowerShell Editor Services, intending to create a more reliable and stable user experience. This release represents nearly two years' work, tracked in PSES #1295 and implemented in PSES #1459. It is our response to many issues opened by users over the last several years.

Thank you to all of the community members who opened issues which helped motivate this major update.

These major updates have also been tested over the last 6 months, in 13 releases of our PowerShell Preview extension for Visual Studio
Code. A huge thank you to all of the community members who have tested these changes to the extension and have worked with us to polish the extension before releasing it through our stable channel.

Please see our blog for more details!

This is our first Release Candidate. We've merged a set of major fixes to the debugger so
that attaching to remote processes / runspaces now works again. While the extension is not
perfect (yet), we believe at this point the preview far exceeds the stable extension in
terms of usability and stability, and it is time to roll this out. Please give this a
thorough testing, as we hope to roll it into the stable extension next week.

vscode-powershell

• ✨ 📺 vscode-powershell #3919 - Improve Settings Editor experience in a few places. (Thanks @TylerLeonhardt!)

PowerShellEditorServices

• #️⃣ 🙏 PowerShellEditorServices #1757 - Enable code analysis and formatting as errors on build.
• ✨ 🚂 PowerShellEditorServices #1755 - Apply automatic fixes (manually).
• 🐛 🔍 PowerShellEditorServices #1736 - Fix attach to process debugging.

We delayed moving the preview branch to stable in order to fix issues surrounding our
ReadKey / ReadLine logic. This preview contains a new minor release of PowerShell
Editor Services with an entire rewrite of that logic, utilizing what we hope is a much
better workaround for the underlying issue in .NET's Console.ReadKey. Please give this
release a thorough testing, especially in the console with PSReadLine.

• 🐛 ✂️ vscode-powershell #3276 - Fix snippet prefixes (especially #region).
