We’re proud to announce the availability of PowerShell 7.4.0-rc.1<\/a>!\nThis is the first release candidate version of PowerShell 7.4 and is considered a “go-live” release\nmeaning that it is a supported release in production.\nNow is the time to test out PowerShell 7.4 in your environment.\nPowerShell 7.4 is built on top of .NET 8<\/a> and as a LTS (Long Term Support) release will be supported for 3 years.<\/p>\n Since PowerShell 7 is supported on Windows, Linux, and macOS, there are a variety of ways to get it<\/a>.\nIf you had installed the previous PowerShell 7.4 preview release (7.4.0-preview.6) via the Windows Store or MSI (and opted into Microsoft Update<\/a>),\nyou will be automatically updated to 7.4.0-rc.1.<\/p>\n Note that after releases there are some delays in all release channels getting the latest bits.\nIf this version is not available on your release channel of choice expect it to be available\nwithin 2 weeks.<\/p>\n For more info on what’s changed in PowerShell 7.4, check out this page of the documentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n The following features were developed and released as experimental during the PowerShell 7.4\npreviews. Through telemetry and user feedback we determined that they should\nbe available as non-experimental features in the 7.4 release.<\/p>\n PowerShell 7.4 will be our next LTS release and expected to ship once an RC is determined to be ready.\nWe’ll have a separate blog post when the GA release of 7.4 becomes available.\nWe appreciate all the efforts of the community, both individuals and working group members<\/a>,\nand look forward to your continued feedback and contributions!<\/p>\n Sydney\nPowerShell Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Availability of PowerShell 7.4 RC1<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2299,"featured_media":13641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[248],"class_list":["post-20173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-powershell","tag-powershell"],"acf":[],"blog_post_summary":" Availability of PowerShell 7.4 RC1<\/p>\n","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2299"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13641"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/powershell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}How do I get it?<\/h2>\n
