In my earlier blog, I mentioned that we had changed things since the previous CTP.  Rather than leave everyone wondering whether they were doomed or not, I decided to have an early release of that portion of the release notes.    Here they are:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Breaking Changes to Windows PowerShell 1.0<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

1. The value of the PowerShellVersion<\/b> registry entry in HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\PowerShell\\1\\PowerShellEngine has been changed to 2.0<\/b>.<\/p>\n

2. Added new language keywords: Data<\/b>, Cmdlet, and DynamicParam<\/b>. Any commands called data<\/b>, cmdlet<\/b> or dynamicParam<\/b> are interpreted as language keywords and result in parsing errors. <\/p>\n

3. Changes in argument separator behavior. In Windows PowerShell 1.0, $a.method(,1) <\/b>is interpreted as a call with an array of 1 element, but $a.method(1,,2)<\/b> generates a parsing error. In Windows PowerShell V2, both formats generate parsing errors.<\/p>\n

4. New cmdlets and variables have been added. These are listed below. These new elements might conflict with variables and functions in profiles and scripts.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n

Breaking Changes to Windows PowerShell V2 (CTP)<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

<\/u><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The attribute declaration for script cmdlets has changed.<\/b><\/a> \n

    2. Attributes like [ValidateNotNull] now requires parens, like [ValidateNotNull()]
      <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    3. The remoting parameter sets (Runspace, Uri, and ComputerName)have been removed from the Invoke-Expression<\/b> cmdlet. To run remote commands, use the Invoke-Command<\/b> cmdlet.<\/li>\n
    4. The remoting parameters (Computername, Port, UseSSL, Credential, ShellName, and ThrottleLimit) have been removed from the Start-PsJob<\/b> cmdlet. To run background jobs remotely, use the AsJob<\/b> parameter of Invoke-Command<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    5. New-PSBreakPoint<\/b> has been replaced by Set-PSBreakPoint<\/b>.<\/li>\n
    6. Set-PSBreakPoint<\/b> is identical to New-PsBreakPoint, except for the following changes. \n
        \n
      1. The Clone<\/b> parameter is removed.<\/li>\n
      2. The Read<\/b>, Write<\/b>, and ReadWrite<\/b> parameters have been replaced by a Mode parameter with values of Read<\/b>, Write<\/b> (default), and ReadWrite<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. The following automatic variables have been renamed:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
            \n
          1. $Culture -> $PSCulture<\/li>\n
          2. $UICulture -> $PSUICulture<\/li>\n
          3. $Cmdlet -> $PSCmdlet <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Enjoy!<\/p>\n
