v2023.3.3

Thursday, March 30, 2023

This is primarily a bug-fix focused release, and we want to say thanks to all our loyal
preview extension users! The "PowerShell Preview" extension has now been officially
deprecated, with "preview" releases now available via the "pre-release" option on the
stable "PowerShell" extension in the marketplace. While you should be migrated
automatically, feel free to just uninstall the preview and install the now one-and-only
extension, but please keep testing our pre-releases! This change makes it much simpler to
use, as you no longer have to switch between two different extensions and instead can use
VS Code's marketplace to install your choice of version!

v2023.2.1

vscode-powershell

Primarily an update to v3.8 of PowerShell Editor Services, as previewed over February.
Includes a massive enhancement to extension's symbol support, nearly completing the
Consistent References project, with the final work in an upcoming preview. Enjoy!

PowerShellEditorServices v3.8.1

• ✨ 📁 vscode-powershell #2112 - Add WorkspaceFolders and use it when enumerating files.
• ✨ 🙏 vscode-powershell #1481 - Count ${Function:My-Function} as a function reference.
• 🐛 🙏 vscode-powershell #1089 - Strip scope from function references.
• 🐛 🙏 PowerShellEditorServices #1989 - Keep only first assignment as declaration.
• ✨ 🐢 PowerShellEditorServices #1988 - Support Run/Debug tests in PSKoans-files. (Thanks @fflaten!)

In the PR below we rewrote all the symbol logic. Classes (and their properties and
methods) are now proper symbols. Instead of a dozen similar-yet-different Abstract Symbol
Tree (AST) PowerShell script visitors handling different parts of each symbol-related
request, we have a single visitor that builds a cached dictionary of symbols for each
file. This was a massive simplification of the code that also leads to huge performance
improvements across all the symbol related features:

• Go to Symbol in Workspace
• Go to Symbol in Editor
• Go to Definition
• Go to References / CodeLens
• Outline view

Please try it out and give us feedback! There's plenty of room for more improvement, and
this will be much easier going forward.

• ✨ 🙏 PowerShellEditorServices #1984 - Integrating class symbol support.

v2023.1.0

Wednesday, January 18, 2023

First stable release for the new year, includes a multitude of fixes for the debugger!
Expanding variables with properties that are inaccessible no longer causes a short-circuit
preventing the rest of the properties from being expanded, variable values whose expansion
results in PowerShell code being executed now works as expected, and in general all the
correct properties are now present. We look forward to adding the ability to view static
and private fields in a future update.
