PowerShell 7.0 Generally Available.
What is PowerShell 7?
PowerShell 7 is the latest major update to PowerShell, a cross-platform (Finestre, Linux, and macOS) automation tool and configuration framework optimized for dealing with structured data (per esempio. JSON, CSV, XML, ecc.), REST APIs, and object models. PowerShell includes a command-line conchiglia, object-oriented scripting language, and a set of tools for executing scripts/cmdlets and managing modules.
After three successful releases of PowerShell Core, we couldn’t be more excited about PowerShell 7, the next chapter of PowerShell’s ongoing development. With PowerShell 7, in addition to the usual slew of new cmdlets/APIs and bug fixes, we’re introducing a number of new features, tra cui:
- Pipeline parallelization with
ForEach-Object -Parallel - New operators:
- Ternary operator:
a ? b : c - Pipeline chain operators:
||E&& - Null coalescing operators:
??E??=
- Ternary operator:
- A simplified and dynamic errore view and
Get-Errorcmdlet for easier investigation of errors - A compatibility layer that enables users to import modules in an implicit Finestre PowerShell session
- Automatic new version notifications
- The ability to invoke to invoke DSC resources directly from PowerShell 7 (experimental)
The shift from PowerShell Core 6.x to 7.0 also marks our move from .NETTO Core 2.x to 3.1. .NETTO Core 3.1 brings back a host of .NETTO Framework APIs (especially on Finestre), enabling significantly more backwards compatibility with existing Finestre PowerShell modules. This includes many modules on Finestre that require GUI functionality like Out-GridView E Show-Command, as well as many role management modules that ship as part of Finestre.
Awesome! How do I get PowerShell 7?
Primo, check out our install docs for Finestre, macOS, or Linux. Depending on the version of your OS and preferred package format, there may be multiple installation methods.
If you already know what you’re doing, and you’re just looking for a binary package (whether it’s an MSI, ZIP, RPM, or something else), hop on over to our latest release tag on GitHub.
Inoltre, you may want to use one of our many Docker container images.
What operating systems does PowerShell 7 support?
PowerShell 7 supports the following operating systems on x64, tra cui:
- Finestre 7, 8.1, E 10
- Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2, 2016, E 2019
- macOS 10.13+
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (Rhel) / Centos 7+
- Fedora 29+
- Debian 9+
- Ubuntu 16.04+
- openSUSE 15+
- Alpine Linux 3.8+
- ARM32 and ARM64 flavors of Debian and Ubuntu
- ARM64 Alpine Linux
Wait, what happened to PowerShell “Core”?
Much like .NETTO decided to do with .NETTO 5, we feel that PowerShell 7 marks the completion of our journey to maximize backwards compatibility with Finestre PowerShell. To that end, we consider PowerShell 7 and beyond to be the one, VERO PowerShell going forward.
PowerShell 7 will still be noted with the edition “Core” in order to differentiate 6.x/7.x from Finestre PowerShell, ma in generale, you will see it denoted as “PowerShell 7” going forward.
Which Microsoft products already support PowerShell 7?
Any module that is already supported by PowerShell Core 6.x is also supported in PowerShell 7, tra cui:
- Azzurro PowerShell (
Az.*) - Directory attiva
- Many of the modules in Finestre 10 E Windows Server (check with
Get-Module -ListAvailable)
On Finestre, we’ve also added a -UseWindowsPowerShell switch to Import-Module to ease the transition to PowerShell 7 for those using still incompatible modules. This switch creates a proxy module in PowerShell 7 that uses a local Finestre PowerShell process to implicitly run any cmdlets contained in that module.
For those modules still incompatible, we’re working with a number of teams to add native PowerShell 7 support, including Microsoft Graph, Ufficio 365, e altro ancora.
