year of improvements to your PowerShell editing experience
summary
Extension delivers 12 stable releases and 36 preview releases, with 380,000 monthly stable users and 8.1 million total installs. A two‑year rewrite of the PowerShell pipeline yields measurable stability and performance gains; debugger reliability and variable expansion improve, a clever read key fix removes the typewriter paste bug, and symbol parsing and go‑to‑definition speed up across large repos. Testing and an automated compliant release pipeline enable fast fixes, the Marketplace now uses a single extension with a pre‑release channel, and Polyglot Notebooks support PowerShell.
