Powershell V2 CTP2

Not sure how I missed this one but CTP2 of Powershell version 2 is available for download.

Remoting is working (requiring a separate download of WinRM 2.0 (also a CTP).

From the official blog:

 

This release adds a plethora of new features. PowerShell remoting now allows a one-to-one interactive experience. Thought about partitioning and organizing PowerShell scripts? Use modules to create self-contained and reusable units. This release introduces transactions support in PowerShell engine and APIs along with an update to the Registry provider to support them. We introduced eventing support in Powershell engine for listening, forwarding and acting on management and system events. Support for multiple parameter sets in script cmdlets bring them to par with C# cmdlets. For the adventurous folks…. application developers can host PowerShell in IIS to support multiple remote PowerShell sessions in a single process. These are just a few of the new features we have packaged in this CTP2 release. Additionally this CTP2 includes some simple updates… like new parameters to several existing cmdlets. More feature descriptions and details are in the Release Notes and in the “about” topics included with the installation.

 

As with the previous release I’ve got to stress that this code isn’t even at beta stage yet and shouldn’t go ANYWHERE near a production system. Everything *should* be backwards compatible but V1 and V2 can’t coexist so this could really break things if you’re unlucky.
