PowerShell 7.1 released

Read this blog from the engineering team to learn more about the details of this release. Great thing you can now install it via the Microsoft Store!

3D with PowerShell

An interesting project, made by David Lenihan during the pandemic lockdown. If you have Autodesk Maja files this modue should be able to transform them into Powershell Consule output. For all you 3D gurus, give it a try!

PS Teams Module 2.0

Microsoft Teams gets more and more popular in organizations. The PS Teams Module 2.0 supports a couple of new features, like Adaptive Cards, Hero Cards and a lot more.

Tab Completion – Predictive Intellisense

Type something and hit TAB to see what might be the next character to use is something i often do on the commandline. PSReadLine 2.1.0 (ships with PS 7.1) makes the next step in the history of this feature. Read Jason Helmicks blog to understand how to enable and use it.

Get File and Folder icons in Windows Terminal

If you want to have your files and folders to have icons like the screenshot below, install Terminal-Icons to your environment.

Hope we had something for you this week.

Stay healthy ! R.
