As of #7892, the PowerShell repository no longer uses Git submodules.
This is fantastic from a workflow standpoint, and so all the notes about
how to deal with submodules (and all the build steps explicitly
initializing and updating submodules) can be safely removed.
[Breaking Change]
There is specific code that sets the `OutputFormat` to xml if pwsh is run non-interactive, with redirected output, and the command was encoded. However, it ignored whether OutputFormat was specified. Fix is to track whether `-OutputFormat` was used and respect that value rather than defaulting to xml.
Fix https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/5912
Add new parameters in Get-Culture cmdlet:
-Name - to allow retrieving a specific culture
-NoUserOverrides - ignore user changes for current culture
-ListAvalable - to allow retrieving all cultures supported on the platform
- Add new Offset and Count parameters.
- Modify ByteCollection class to support offsets up to UInt64.MaxValue size.
- Hide/obsolete Raw parameter because the behavior is by default.
- Optimize conversion to bytes to reduce allocations for large input data.
The root cause is that `OutputBuffer` is not cleaned up (set to `null`) in `Stop` and `BeginStop/EndStop` when the powershell instance owns the `OutputBuffer` object. Since the pipeline has been intentionally stopped by the caller, the `OutputBuffer` should be set to `null` as well when it's owned by the PowerShell instance, just like how it's cleaned up in `EndInvoke`.
- Adds y suffix that is used to specify a numeric literal as the sbyte data type.
- Can be combined with the existing u suffix as uy to specify the byte data type.
The type System.IntPtr has an explicit cast operator defined that takes a pointer type System.void* parameter. Now we handle that type properly in GetPSMethodProjectedType.
Fixes#7230.
Adding the concept of a PSSyntheticTypeName, derived from PSTypeName,
that extends it with a list of synthetic members.
This allows us to express the inferred type of
```
[pscustomobject] @{
A = 1
B = "2"
}
```
as a "PSObject#A:B" and with information about the types of A and B.
This is also used to annotate the output of
```
Select-Object -Property
Select-Object -ExcludeProperty
Select-Object -ExpandProperty
```
Finally, it adds information about the types of the
`Group` and `Value` properties of the output of `Group-Object`
