## v2.0.0-preview.1

#### Preview builds of the PowerShell extension are now available in VSCode

We are excited to announce the PowerShell Preview extension in the VSCode marketplace!
The PowerShell Preview extension allows users on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and newer to get and test the latest updates to the PowerShell extension and comes with some exciting features.

Just to make sure everyone knows "it works on Core" (but I've omitted Core above because of personal brand preference... I dunno!)

The PowerShell Preview extension is a substitute for the PowerShell extension so both the PowerShell extension and the PowerShell Preview extension should not be enabled at the same time.

By having a preview channel, which only supports Windows Powershell 5.1 and newer, in addition to our existing stable channel, we can get new features out faster.

I think this line is trying to say two things, which are:

With the preview channel, we will be able to get feedback on recent additions to the extension, allowing us to develop better features without compromising stability.

NOTE: As of version 2.0.0, the PowerShell extension no longer supports PowerShell 3 or 4. This is a requirement of the PSReadLine integration, and is discussed at length here.

Marketplace? Shouldn't this be something like "... find it in the Extensions sidebar view, specifically under the list of Enabled extensions. Right-click on the PowerShell extension and select Disable."`

Changed the wording!

#### What the first preview contains

The v2.0.0-preview.1 version of the extension is built on .NET Standard (enabling support for both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core from one assembly)

It also contains PSReadLine support in the integrated console for Windows behind a feature flag. PSReadLine provides a consistent and rich interactive experience, including syntax coloring and multi-line editing and history, in the PowerShell console, in Cloud Shell, and now in VSCode terminal. For more information on the benefits of PSReadLine, check out their [documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/psreadline/about/about_psreadline?view=powershell-6).

To enable PSReadLine support in the Preview version on Windows, please add the following to your user settings:

```
"powershell.developer.featureFlags": [ "PSReadLine" ]
```

HUGE thanks to @SeeminglyScience for all his amazing work getting PSReadLine working in PowerShell Editor Services!

#### Breaking Changes

As stated above, this version of the PowerShell extension only works with PowerShell versions 5.1 and higher.
