Get-WTReleaseNote

SYNOPSIS

Get the latest Windows Terminal release information from GitHub.

SYNTAX

Get-WTReleaseNote [-AsMarkdown] [-Online] [-Preview] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This command will query the Windows Terminal GitHub repository to get information about the latest release. You can also open the release notes directly on Github using the -Online parameter. This parameter will take precedence.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

PS C:\> Get-WTReleaseNote


Name       : Windows Terminal v1.0.1401.0
Version    : v1.0.1401.0
Published  : 5/19/2020 4:08:09 PM
Prerelease : False
Notes      : ## Changes

             * Windows Terminal now ships with [Cascadia Code 2005.15](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases/tag/v2005.15).
             * All emoji are now sized as recommended by Unicode 13.0. You _will_ see some emoji that are smaller than you want them to be. That's just a fact of life. (#5934)
             * Documentation for Windows Terminal has moved to [docs.microsoft.com](http://docs.microsoft.com/windows/terminal)!
                * Existing user documentation in this repository will be moving to a nice farm upstate in short order.

             It will not escape your notice that there are two packages in this release:
             * `WindowsTerminal` is the stable build of Terminal.
             * `WindowsTerminalPreview` is the preview version, which can be installed _side-by-side_ with the stable version.

Example 2

PS C:\> Get-WTReleaseNote -AsMarkdown -Preview | Show-Markdown | more

In PowerShell 7, you can render the release note as a markdown document and display it as markdown in the console. This example will show the release note for the most recent preview release. You might also use the -UseBrowser parameter with Show-Markdown to open the in a web browser. Referenced GitHub issues should have links to the original issue.
