What's Changed
If you have ideas for breaking (and other changes) that should happen in Pester 6 and that are not in Pester 6 milestone, please let us know in discussion, in the issue you want to link, or in a new issue 🙏
Assert assertions are becoming part of Pester
Assert assertions were migrated to Pester, and we will continue improving them here. They are published as Should-Be and similar aliases (no space) from the Pester module, as well as Assert-Equal functions. (Because of the naming limitations we cannot use Should-* directly.
The assertions are split into 4 categories, generic, type specific, collection, and equivalency. See this doc for the initial documentation. There will be more I promise.
Pester supports only 5.1 and 7
We've dropped support for PowerShell 3, 4, 6 and early 7. All of those versions are officially out of support by Microsoft. This will help us modernize the code base and further improve performance.
More changes:
- Set profiler based CodeCoverage as default by @nohwnd in #2456
- Remove Pending status by @nohwnd in #2457
- Ignore PassThru when run fail while using Run.Exit by @fflaten in #2303
- Shorten TestDrive directory name by @splatteredbits in #2239
- Add null check for $host.UI and its properties to avoid race condition (#2383) by @kborowinski in #2468
- Hide legacy-only parameters in Invoke-Pester by @fflaten in #2446
- Remove Should legacy syntax error by @fflaten in #2445
- Fix NRE in mock debug log for native commands by @fflaten in #2480
Internal and Infrastructure changes:
- Remove blank output in PesterThrow.Tests.ps1 by @fflaten in #2460

- Replace New-Object calls with ::new() by @fflaten in #2469

Error on update:
My certificate was renewed, and you will get error on update, because the Issuer changed. And there is no way to get valid certificate from the previous issuer. It is still signed by me, but don't take my word for it, go check the certificate.
