- PowerShell 7.2 preview 3 release
- Released 2 days ago (2/16)
- Marks the first release with .NET 6 (preview 1)
- New progress bar demo
- Renders much faster than the existing graphical progress bar
- Width, color, and style (e.g. italic) now customizable
- Old progress bar still available as "classic"
- Just like existing implementation today and not shown in transcript
- No styling on top because of security presenting access to console buffer on non-Windows
- Could potentially look into re-adding on Windows, but not a priority today
- DSC for PowerShell 7
- Scoped entirely to Get-DscResource, Invoke-DscResource and Configuration compilation
- We do not currently have plans for an LCM, pull server, or Configuration execution
