Update spfx doctor and spfx project doctor to support SPFx v1.17.0

Are the docs a bit ahead? They claim SPFx 1.17 is already supported, while it isn't. Found this issue while searching for causes.

Hi @heinrich-ulbricht

The docs show the current beta release state. If you want to upgrade projects to v1.17.0 you should use the current beta release. You can install it via npm i -g @pnp/cli-microsoft365@next.

@milanholemans But the pull request from Waldek is still pending? And the web site does not say anything about beta. The installation docs show npm i -g @pnp/cli-microsoft365 - which is non-beta (or always beta?)?

Hi @heinrich-ulbricht

The PR of Waldek that is pending is about the command spfx doctor and spfx project doctor. The docs link you provided was for spfx project upgrade which was merged in our beta release yesterday.

Docs don't mention beta because our docs don't have versioning (yet). Meaning when we update our docs, it will be live on our website immediately, but the changes to the code are published in our beta package.
We are looking into versioning our docs, but it's not that simple sadly enough.

If you want to be sure what's in our latest stable release and what's available in our beta release, you should visit our release notes: https://pnp.github.io/cli-microsoft365/about/release-notes/

@milanholemans Aaaah now it makes sense! Thanks for taking the time to explain! I misread the pull request and was misled by the docs :D Understood.

and was misled by the docs

It happens more often than you think 😄
