I was thinking about doing a preview before but in past when we used preview gallery for that purpose, we had only about 10 downloads even after a week. Most folks use PSSA in CI where they will first be hit with the news of a release and later when the vs-code extension consumes it. In my experience the most important aspect of slowly introducing it to users is via the powershell preview vs code extension as there are more users that can give good feedback before deciding to consume new version in stable extension.

We need to sync our changes to docs, which I think is just the one in #1704 where UseCorrectCasing had new options added, just noticed by looking at PR again that those new options aren't documented so opened #2086 before doing the sync.

Also, it seems MSDocs changes have not been synced to PSSA so I opened PR #2085

I created a draft release here for now that then will need updating with the final changelog: https://github.com/PowerShell/PSScriptAnalyzer/releases/tag/untagged-b473ea363a2c6ccd71d6

Andy Jordan (@andyleejordan) Need to merge #2085 and add it to the release

I will not be able to use this as the build/release pipeline must create the draft release itself. Sorry!

Gotcha, at least this way it saves on manual synchronisation effort because I was thinking for a moment whether we should stop maintain the changelog md file and just use releases only

Yeah, that makes sense. Good to know about the low gallery update. I was planning to include it in the next preview of the extension (and would try to get that out ASAP) so we're covered there.

That's what I've opted to do for other projects. In vscode-powershell for instance I modified the update script to just add:

1. Header with version and date,
2. the -Changes submitted when running the script (so a small descriptive sentence or two, also in the commit)
3. a link to the GitHub release

That way there's no duplication or syncing to do.

Merged.

Re-opened #2086 because it seems to have not been included in #2085

Apart from the outstanding, long suggestion of grouping changes that I just updated, the rest looks all good to me, ready to test a release candidate if the internal build can be shared

When I get the pipeline running, if I remember correctly it'll open a draft GitHub release with the module uploaded and then sit and wait for me to allow for it to publish to the gallery. And since you have access to view draft releases, you should be able to download and test it. I'll merge this and get that going.

Christoph Bergmeister (@bergmeister) the draft is up with the 1.24 nupkg, I've got 24 hours to approve its release to the gallery. Let me know before this time tomorrow if you think it's good to go and I'll finish the release and get it out!

Tested, especially with LTS version (PS 7.4.6), which CI does not cover and all tests passed. 🚢 it :-)
