New Features of PowerShell 7.6.0 (LTS)
March 18th 2026 the PowerShell Engineering Team released PowerShell 7.6.0, a Long-Term Release for production purposes. Its build on top of .NET 10. As you can read in the linked blog post there are some smaller fixes, but as we saw in the latest releases of the last years there are no exciting features coming in the core engine. A new parameter here, an improvement there and some features moved to mainstream.
For 95% of the PowerShell Users there will be no visible change, except you have been waiting for a specific feature of fix.
Install it, run it, if you want to get more details you can also read the blogpost on 4SYSOPS, which explains the details of all relevant changes. Looking deeper, there are some nice additions which make life easier.
PowerShell Team Investments 2026
Every year, the PowerShell Engineering Team breaks down their investments into a Blog post and tell the world where they are going to invest their time and resources.
Beneath the usual stuff like PSReadline, OpenSSH, DSC, and Core stuff, i found the following one interesting:
Migration of the PowerShell Gallery to Microsoft Artifcat Registry (MAR)
We know the good old PowerShell Gallery had its issues, but finally its days seem to be counted. I expect to be MAR the main repository in the very near future.
Sad Story at the end, AIShell is no longer maintained. Another victim of the high speed AI developments.
Next blog we are going to provide more user-related snippets again, until then
So long! R.
