This page is a list of notable changes made in each version. Every time a tip is added the patch version is incremented, so there will be a lot of patch version changes not documented here.
Fixes:
- Write module's last auto-update time and last auto-write tip time to file using a universal format instead of an OS-dependent format to avoid errors parsing the datetime when the module loads.
Features:
- Allow specifying the tip
Author
so they can get credit for the tip.
Features:
- Add a newline after the tip's "More information:" header and each URL to make it look nicer.
Features:
- Added an
ExpiryDate
property to thePowerShellTip
class to allow tips to be automatically removed after a certain date. This is useful for tips that are no longer relevant after a certain date, such as tips about a specific event or conference.
