Release Status
PSCX 1.2 Released
This version supports Windows PowerShell version 2.0 and adds Read-Archive, Expand-Archive and Tail-File cmdlets. As always, we are interested in your feedback, good and bad.
Installation note: you will be required to uninstall PSCX 1.1.1 before installing 1.2. If you don't you will get an installer error which if you look at the details, effectively tells you to uninstall previous versions of PSCX. Also we have added an option for the profile installation. You can either allow PSCX to install a default profile (it will offer to back up the original one), append the PSCX profile script to your existing script or do nothing. If you append to your existing profile script, please remove all the old PSCX 1.1.1 script from your profile before starting up PowerShell. By default, PowerShell uses the per user, all hosts profile (profile.ps1).
