Pester release candidate is finally here! As the name suggests this release is close to final and
most things that I wanted to get working actually work. This version is already stable enough to be used for new projects, and is the recommended choice if you just started learning Pester. If you own a larger project, please give it a try and report back.

At my company we use a dynamic DNS service for load balancing or failover. This is great because
clients don't notice downtime when a failover or load balancing action occurs. It makes everything smooth and fluent for clients and users of our systems. The only problem with this is that sometimes a failover occurs and you don't notice. Great for users, not so great for administrators; if a server crashes in the woods, did it really crash at all? To make sure we always get notified about these situations we use the following script via our RMM system.

Windows Terminal has been out for around 6 months now and it's safe to say it's a huge success. It's
a great way to handle working with multiple terminal applications in one space, and the ability to customize the environment to suit your needs (both aesthetic and functional) make it a perfect tool for anyone who lives in a shell environment for hours on end.

PrimalScript 2020 (7.7.139) adds PowerShell 7 support. While we have had the ability to run scripts
in a PowerShell 6 or 7 console for some time, support for new language elements, packaging, etc. was not implemented yet. Now that PowerShell 7 was released, we have added full support for it across the board. I should note here that we do not install PowerShell 7 for you.

PowerShell is similar to other languages like Python, but the Pipeline is where it sets itself apart. Let's break down why the pipeline is so powerful!
