| 15 | +* Working Groups |
| 16 | + * Congrats to community folks we've added to Engine, Cmdlet, and DevEx WGs |
| 17 | + * Created a Discord server for higher bandwidth conversations |
| 18 | + * Some aspects may be read-only or private still |
| 19 | +* PowerShell 7.2 preview 7 |
| 20 | + * If all goes well 🤞, we'll be releasing today (otherwise, Monday) |
| 21 | + * `PSDesiredStateConfiguration` module not shipping in preview for first time |
| 22 | + * Not indicative of our investment in DSC, just to decouple lifecycles between |
| 23 | + PowerShell and DSC |
| 24 | + * v2 module shipping on Gallery, v3 module should be there very soon (if not already) |
| 25 | +* [Microsoft Update support](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/preview-updating-powershell-7-2-with-microsoft-update/) |
| 26 | + * Supports updates only from 7.2 preview 5 or 6 |
| 27 | + * If you want to try this out, don't update to preview 7 manually! |
| 28 | + * Should be available in ~1 week (watch @PowerShell_Team for tweets) |
| 29 | + * Today, you need to add a reg key, but in the future this won't be necessary |
| 30 | + * Can also do a clean install with a different reg key if you have no preview at all |
| 31 | + * For this preview, we're currently only going back to Windows 10/Server RS3+ |
| 32 | + * If you have a strong need for something earlier, |
| 33 | + please give us context on that in the discussion linked from the blog |
| 34 | +* PowerShellGet 3.0 |
| 35 | + * Working on refactor of cmdlets and test coverage |
| 36 | + * Done with refactoring Get-InstalledPSResource, Uninstall-PSResource, and Publish-PSResource |
| 37 | + * Very close to Find-, Install-, Save- and Update- |
| 38 | + * Pushing to release in the next few weeks |
| 39 | + * Backwards compatibility is a top priority |
| 40 | + * Keep your eyes peeled for a blog post |
| 41 | + * DSC resource for PowerShellGet 3.0? |
| 42 | + * We include some resource in 3.0 today, but they made need to be refactored |
| 43 | + * Discussion on moving PSGet DSC resources out to their own module |
| 44 | + * File or comment on issues to let us know what you think about this! |
| 45 | +* VSCode extension |
| 46 | + * Just launched a [new stable release](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/powershell-for-visual-studio-code-may-2021-update/) |
| 47 | + * A lot of the work happening in `PowerShellEditorServices` to improve stability and performance |
| 48 | + * Check GitHub Projects for [Debug Reliability](https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/projects/9) |
| 49 | + and [Startup Reliability](https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/projects/8) |
| 50 | + * Even newer preview out as of today (6/17) to fix some issues in Windows PowerShell 5.1 |
| 51 | + * Making some improvements to async |
| 52 | + * Lastly, will hook the debugger back up |
| 53 | + * Doubled our release cadence compared to the past 6 months! |
| 54 | + * We understand there's lots of new features folks are requesting, |
| 55 | + but the focus right now is still on stability and perf |
| 56 | + * Keep track of even more of our priorities with |
| 57 | + [GitHub Projects on `vscode-powershell`](https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/projects) |
| 58 | +* Justin Grote demoing [PowerConfig](https://github.com/JustinGrote/PowerConfig) |
| 59 | + * Wrapper around ASP.NET Configuration |
| 60 | + * Takes input of YAML, JSON, TOML, PSD1 and more, |
| 61 | + and makes hashtables out of them |
| 62 | + * You simply pipe configuration file paths to PowerConfig cmdlets, |
| 63 | + and they'll be processed in the order you add them |
| 64 | + (including to clobber existing key/value pairs) |
| 65 | + * You can even add to the configs via environment variables! |
| 66 | +* Q&A |
| 67 | + * Should we lock all old and/or closed threads? |
