4+
5+
### Breaking changes
6+
7+
* Remove the `*-Counter` cmdlets in `Microsoft.PowerShell.Diagnostics` due to the use of unsupported APIs until a better solution is found. (#4303)
8+
* Remove the `Microsoft.PowerShell.LocalAccounts` due to the use of unsupported APIs until a better solution is found. (#4302)
9+
10+
### Engine updates and fixes
11+
12+
* Fix the issue where PowerShell Core wasn't working on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 (non-R2). (#4463)
13+
* `ValidateSetAttribute` enhancement: support set values to be dynamically generated from a custom `ValidateSetValueGenerator`. (#3784) (Thanks to @iSazonov!)
14+
* Disable breaking into debugger on Ctrl+Break when running non-interactively. (#4283) (Thanks to @mwrock!)
15+
* Give error instead of crashing if WSMan client library is not available. (#4387)
16+
* Allow passing `$true`/`$false` as a parameter to scripts using `powershell.exe -File`. (#4178)
17+
* Enable `DataRow`/`DataRowView` adapters in PowerShell Core to fix an issue with `DataTable` usage. (#4258)
18+
* Fix an issue where PowerShell class static methods were being shared across `Runspace`s/`SessionState`s. (#4209)
19+
* Fix array expression to not return null or throw error. (#4296)
20+
* Fixes a CIM deserialization bug where corrupted CIM classes were instantiating non-CIM types. (#4234)
21+
* Improve error message when `HelpMessage` property of `ParameterAttribute` is set to empty string. (#4334)
22+
* Make `ShellExecuteEx` run in a STA thread. (#4362)
23+
24+
### General cmdlet updates and fixes
25+
26+
* Add `-SkipHeaderValidation` switch to `Invoke-WebRequest` and `Invoke-RestMethod` to support adding headers without validating the header value. (#4085)
27+
* Add support for `Invoke-Item -Path <folder>`. (#4262)
28+
* Fix `ConvertTo-Html` output when using a single column header. (#4276)
29+
* Fix output of `Length` for `FileInfo` when using `Format-List`. (#4437)
30+
* Fix an issue in implicit remoting where restricted sessions couldn't use `Get-FormatData –PowerShellVersion`. (#4222)
31+
* Fix an issue where `Register-PSSessionConfiguration` fails if `SessionConfig` folder doesn't exist. (#4271)
32+
33+
### Installer updates
34+
35+
* Create script to install latest PowerShell from Microsoft package repositories (or Homebrew) on non-Windows platforms. (#3608) (Thanks to @DarwinJS!)
36+
* Enable MSI upgrades rather than a side-by-side install. (#4259)
37+
* Add a checkbox to open PowerShell after the Windows MSI installer has finished. (#4203) (Thanks to @bergmeister!)
38+
* Add Amazon Linux compatibility to `install-powershell.sh`. (#4360) (Thanks to @DarwinJS!)
39+
* Add ability to package PowerShell Core as a NuGet package. (#4363)
40+
41+
### Build/test and code cleanup
42+
43+
* Add build check for MFC for Visual C++ during Windows builds.
44+
This fixes a long-standing (and very frustrating!) issue with missing build dependencies! (#4185) (Thanks to @KirkMunro!)
45+
* Move building Windows PSRP binary out of `Start-PSBuild`.
46+
Now `Start-PSBuild` doesn't build PSRP binary on windows. Instead, we consume the PSRP binary from a NuGet package. (#4335)
47+
* Add tests for built-in type accelerators. (#4230) (Thanks to @dchristian3188!)
48+
* Increase code coverage of `Get-ChildItem` on file system. (#4342) (Thanks to @jeffbi!)
49+
* Increase test coverage for `Rename-Item` and `Move-Item`. (#4329) (Thanks to @jeffbi!)
50+
* Add test coverage for Registry provider. (#4354) (Thanks to @jeffbi!)
51+
* Fix warnings and errors thrown by PSScriptAnalyzer. (#4261) (Thanks to @bergmeister!)
52+
* Fix regressions that cause implicit remoting tests to fail. (#4326)
53+
* Disable legacy UTC and SQM Windows telemetry by enclosing the code in '#if LEGACYTELEMETRY'. (#4190)
54+
55+
### Cleanup `#if CORECLR` code
56+
57+
PowerShell 6.0 will be exclusively built on top of CoreCLR,
58+
so we are removing a large amount of code that's built only for FullCLR.
59+
