PowerShell Plus 3.1 Released!

Effective immediately, PowerShell Plus 3.1 is available!

Whether you are completely new to PowerShell or a script guru, PowerShell Plus helps you discover objects, create code rapidly and share your work with others.

Tipp: Visit our Video Tour! It provides a series of videos showing you how to work with PowerShell Plus and how to get going with PowerShell fast!

We focused on supporting PowerShell V2 while maintaining backwards compatibility to V1 so PowerShell Plus 3.1 runs on both versions of PowerShell. Here are some of the new features I'd like to highlight:

  • Learning Center: It's now an even more powerful learning resource. It covers PowerShell V2 modules, has a new and more sophisticated keyword search and includes my complete 500+ pages eBook "Mastering PowerShell" in a fully searchable form.
  • QuickClick Library: Comes with hundreds of useful one-liners and scripts and is a perfect place to organize your own most needed commands. You can even add a keyboard shortcut to entries. Then, once you enter the shortcut in the console and press TAB, the code is inserted for you. This saves a lot of typing and allows you to create your own fast-coding environment.
  • Download community scripts: right from the editor, search for and download free community scripts from three major repositories. Simply click the main menu button (the big red button in the top left corner of the editor) and select Download Script. The same is available in your QuickClick libarries so you can easily add community scripts to your libraries.
  • Enhanced Editor: the editor now supports code folding for block comments and parameter declarations. The snipet library comes with tons of predefined code blocks for PowerShell V2. Simply press F11 in the editor and try yourself.
  • 32bit and 64bit side-by-side: Install 32bit and 64bit versions side by side on 64bit systems if you need to develop PowerShell scripts in a 32bit environment
  • Extended Trial: since there is so much to explore, we extended the trial period from 14 to a full 30 days. So if you haven't checked out PSP yet or want to try again, grab PowerShell Plus 3.1 today! Ah, and don't worry if the web pages still mention the 14-day-trial. It has been extended, we are working on updating the web site.

Here is a complete overview of what's new: http://www.idera.com/Products/PowerShell/PowerShell-Plus-What%27s-New/. Also, make sure you visit the screen shot gallery to get a good impression on what PowerShell Plus delivers.

I'm glad to see that one of the great features of the 3.1 PowerShell is the fact that It's now even more powerful as a learning resource. Now, I did have some problems with the wrong versions of it before, yet I do hope that it's going to work, so thanks a lot.

PS, big thanks on the learning center and its review of Powershell V2 modules, which is a great resource to flip to on command.
