Since then, we have seen rapid growth in the number of modules, scripts, and users using the gallery &#8211; Thank you to those who contributed so far!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to share with you some of the current gallery community stats:<\/p>\n<p>1856 registered users<\/p>\n<p>567 unique modules and scripts<\/p>\n<p>97,400 page views per month<\/p>\n<p>180,000 downloads last month<\/p>\n<p>821,000 downloads total<\/p>\n<p>As part of this update, we added features to scan submissions using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powershellgallery.com\/packages?q=psscriptanalyzer\">PSScriptAnalyzer<\/a> for static PowerShell code checking and virus checks using Microsoft\u2019s antimalware technologies. The PowerShell engineering team is hosting and supporting the gallery service, maintaining a high availability target of &gt;99.9% uptime.<\/p>\n<p>Removing the \u201cPreview\u201d tag should not change the way you interact with PowerShell Gallery. <a href=\"https:\/\/technet.microsoft.com\/library\/dn807169.aspx\">PowerShellGet<\/a> cmdlets like Find-Module, Install-Module, Update-Module, and Publish-Module should continue to work the same way.

Use Find-Script, Install-Script, Update-Script, and Publish-Script to discover, install, and publish PowerShell script-based content.<\/p>\n<p>However, removing \u201cPreview\u201d does not mean we are done. We expect to continue adding improvements and new features to the service. We\u2019d like to hear from you and get your feedback on any improvements or ideas that you\u2019d like us to consider for future releases. Please go to PowerShell <a href=\"http:\/\/windowsserver.uservoice.com\/forums\/301869-powershell\/category\/154503-powershell-gallery\">UserVoice<\/a> and let us know.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we like to thank each of you who have helped make the PowerShell Gallery a reality. It would not have been possible without the amazing support received by the PowerShell community members. We would also like to take this opportunity to welcome new contributions from anyone who wants to share their PowerShell and DSC modules and scripts with others in the PowerShell community \u2013 THANK YOU in advance.<\/p>\n<p>The PowerShell Community Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to announce that, as of today, the PowerShell Gallery has changed from Preview to Public.
