There are following major changes:
- `Start-PSBootstrap -BuildWindowsNative` installs the native dependencies required for building PSRP binary. Without `-BuildWindowsNative`, it only installs the dotnet-SDK on Windows platform.
- `Start-PSBuild` doesn't build Windows PSRP binary. Instead, `Start-BuildNativeWindowsBinaries` is added to build it. After the build, 3 files (`'pwrshplugin.dll'`, `'pwrshplugin.pdb'`, `'Install-PowerShellRemoting.ps1'`) will be bin-placed at `src\powershell-win-core` like before.
- The NuGet package `'psrp.windows'` is added to `powershell-core` feed, and we reference it in `powershell-win-core.csproj` to get the Windows PSRP related files. Files (.dll and .pdb) in the package are from the beta.4 release build.
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'ForEach-Object' (alias is '%' or 'foreach')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'Where-Object' (alias is '?' or 'where')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases for 'Select-Object' (alias is 'select')
- Fix PSScriptAnalyzer warnings of type PSPossibleIncorrectComparisonWithNull. Essentially, $null has to be on the left-hand side when using it for comparison.
- A Test in ParameterBinding.Tests.ps1 needed adapting as this test used to rely on the wrong null comparison
- Replace a subset of tests of kind '($object -eq $null) | Should Be $true' with '$object | Should Be $null'
Added a checkbox (unchecked by default) to the last dialogue of the Windows installer to provide the option of opening PowerShell because that's what most people want to do if they installed PowerShell.
This change is only for Windows and appends the Windows PowerShell PSModulePath on startup via a default profile. Depending on the data/feedback we get, we can decide what to do (opt-in vs opt-out) as we get closer to a release candidate.
* ClrVersion property of $PSVersionTable is not useful with CoreCLR and end users should not be using it
that value to determine compatibility. Recommendation from dotnet team is to remove that property.
* Removed internal members used for CLRVersion
* removed CLRVersion from FullCLR build as well
* added additional information to run `start-psbootstrap -buildnative` if cmake is not found
Fixed tests that were failing or throwing unnecessary information on-screen.
Updated the paths to powershell.exe as per the new artifact layout.
Added Publish-PSTestTools to Compress-TestContent
Added PS Test tools to PSModulePath before starting tests.
Wix toolset is part of the AppVeyor base image. The daily build did not generate a MSI since Wix toolset was not found.
AppVeyor updated the Wix version in the base image and our checks failed.
The fix removes the hardcoded version from path. It also guards against multiple side-by-side versions.

Use 2.0 CLI/SDK of version `2.0.0-preview1-005952` to keep in sync with the .NET Core 2.0 //Build dogfood instructions. The version of `Microsoft.NetCore.App` in use is `2.0.0-preview1-002106-00`.
This is limited to the console host and is not meant as generalized telemetry code for PowerShell Core. It will capture the GitCommitID and Platform Information when the console host starts. It enables opting out of sending telemetry.
This change moves powershell to .NET Core 2.0. Major changes are:
1. PowerShell assemblies are now targeting `netcoreapp2.0`. We are using `microsoft.netcore.app-2.0.0-preview1-001913-00`, which is from dotnet-core build 4/4/17. We cannot target `netstandard2.0` because the packages `System.Reflection.Emit` and `System.Reflection.Emit.Lightweight`, which are needed for powershell class, cannot be referenced when targeting `netstandard2.0`.
2. Refactor code to remove most CLR stub types and extension types.
3. Update build scripts to enable CI builds. The `-cache` section is specified to depend on `appveyor.yml`, so the cache will be invalidated if `appveyor.yml` is changed.
4. Ship `netcoreapp` reference assemblies with powershell to fix the issues in `Add-Type` (#2764). By default `Add-Type` will reference all those reference assemblies when compiling C# code. If `-ReferenceAssembly` is specified, then we search reference assemblies first, then the framework runtime assemblies, and lastly the loaded assemblies (possibly a third-party one that was already loaded).
5. `dotnet publish` generates executable on Unix platforms, but doesn't set "x" permission and thus it cannot execute. Currently, the "x" permission is set in the build script, `dotnet/cli` issue [#6286](https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/6286) is tracking this.
6. Replace the use of some APIs with the ones that take `SecureString`.
7. osx.10.12 is required to update to `netcoreapp2.0` because `dotnet-cli` 2.0.0-preview only works on osx.10.12.
8. Add dependency to `System.ValueTuple` to work around a ambiguous type identity issue in coreclr. The issue is tracked by `dotnet/corefx` [#17797](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/17797). When moving to newer version of `netcoreapp2.0`, we need to verify if this dependency is still needed.

1. Add autoload for test modules
2. Move TestHostCS.psm1 to 'test\tools\Modules\' folder
3. Remove explicit load TestHostCS.psm1 from test files
- FullCLR build is disabled in this change.
- FullCLR build related functionalities in `build.psm1` and `AppVeyor.psm1` are disabled. They are not cleaned up from `build.psm1` and `AppVeyor.psm1` yet. We need to adopt .NET Core 2.0 to verify the portable module concept, and if that works well, we will remove the Windows PowerShell source code and clean up our scripts.
- `dnxcore50` and `portable-net5+win8` target framework monikers are removed.
- Dependency on `Microsoft.NETCore.Portable.Compatibility` is removed. It's not necessary, but it may come back when we work on supporting the `portable module`. Its necessity can be reviewed at that time.
- I didn't spend the time to try building powershell in Visual Studio 2017. We should have a separate issue for that. It's tracked by #3400
The `TypeCatalogParser` project is replaced by a MSBuild target to gather the dependency information.
Due to .NET Core SDK issue [#1021](https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/issues/1021), our meta-package project `Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK` starts to generate an empty assembly during the build and that results in an empty assembly `Microsoft.PowerShell.SDK.dll` appear in `publish` folder and in `.deps.json` file. We cannot simply remove the assembly because it's now part of the TPA, and removing it will cause powershell to crash at startup. We have to live with this empty assembly until that .NET Core SDK issue is fixed. It's tracked by #3401.

Get-Content /etc/os-release returns an array of strings, which get feeded to ConvertFrom-StringData. Therefore, $LinuxInfo is actually an array of Hashtable instances before this change. Property access on $LinuxInfo like $LinuxInfo.ID happens to work because powershell supports accessing a property or calling a method on a collection of object, but it's inefficient.
After this fix, $LinuxInfo will be a Hashtable, and it's efficient to access its members.
