I have been reading articles about PowerShell v. 5.0 for quite some time, but it has been in a "Preview" period for quite some time. Of course, I lost track of monitoring the release since I continued to do most of my development on Windows Server 2012 R2 which shipped with PowerShell v. 4.0.
Well, I was reminded of PowerShell v. 5.0 when I remoted into a recently built Windows Azure machine and discovered that PowerShell v. 5.0 was installed.
You can download Windows Management Framework v. 5.0 (PowerShell v. 5.0) from here which was re-released in February of this year: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50395
You can read more about the new features in PowerShell v. 5.0 here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/keithmayer/2014/04/16/whats-new-in-powershell-getting-started-with-oneget-in-one-line-with-windows-powershell-5-0/
There is also a video which reviews the features of PowerShell v. 5.0: https://mva.microsoft.com/en-us/training-courses/whats-new-in-powershell-v5-16434?l=Oq4Os59VC_2506218965
The most exciting features of PowerShell v. 5.0 are DSC (Desired State Configuration) and OneGet. I am excited to begin installing PowerShell v. 5.0 on all of my development machines and get started using all of the new features and capabilities available with PowerShell v. 5.0!
