SYNOPSIS

Get information about the latest PowerShell 7.x release.

SYNTAX

default (Default)

Get-PSReleaseSummary [-Preview] [<CommonParameters>]

Get-PSReleaseSummary [-Preview] [-Online] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

This command will query the PowerShell GitHub repository for the latest stable release information using the GitHub APIs. Use -Preview to get information about the latest preview build. You do not need to have a GitHub account to use this command, although you may still reach an API limit if you run this command repeatedly in a short time frame.

The default output is a text report but you have the option to create a markdown version.

Use the -Online parameter to open the GitHub release page in your browser. This parameter only works in Windows.
