# PowerShell Extension Release History

## v2023.6.0
### Tuesday, June 06, 2023

This release focused on fixing the "disappearing output" bug present in PowerShell 5.1,
where an old bug with the `Out-Default` cmdlet's `TranscribeOnly` flag could cause the
Extension Terminal to stop displaying output. While the root cause in the cmdlet is fixed
upstream, that fix is only in PowerShell Core, and not backported to Windows PowerShell.
We were able to workaround the bug with a very careful use of reflection to reset the
flag's value at the appropriate times (see the three takes it took to get this right).

We also refactored the client's startup logic so that it should be impossible to create a
ghost Extension Terminal, and the error handling and logging was given a thorough cleanup.
Finally, two noisy bugs were fixed: when completions are canceled the useless error
message is no longer produced, and when the DSC module is only loaded in one attempt
instead of repeatedly.

Please enjoy these bugfixes! We sure enjoy making the extension more stable.
