Changelog

This page is a list of notable changes made in each version. Every time a tip is added the patch version is incremented, so there will be a lot of patch version changes not documented here.

v1.4.0 - September 20, 2025

Features:

• Added Biweekly and Monthly options to the AutomaticallyWritePowerShellTip configuration setting to allow more flexibility in how often tips are automatically shown.

v1.3.7 - May 20, 2024

Fixes:

• Write module’s last auto-update time and last auto-write tip time to file using a universal format instead of an OS-dependent format to avoid errors parsing the datetime when the module loads.

v1.3.0 - April 20, 2024

Features:

• Allow specifying the tip Author so they can get credit for the tip.

v1.2.0 - March 7, 2024

Features:

• Add a newline after the tip’s “More information:” header and each URL to make it look nicer.

v1.1.0 - February 4, 2024

Features:

• Added an ExpiryDate property to the PowerShellTip class to allow tips to be automatically removed after a certain date. This is useful for tips that are no longer relevant after a certain date, such as tips about a specific event or conference.

v1.0.0 - October 16, 2023

Features:

• Added TipRetrievalOrder configuration option to allow users to control the order in which tips are retrieved; NewestFirst, OldestFirst, or Random. Default is NewestFirst.

Features:

• Added new Security category for tips.

v0.6.0 - September 30, 2023

Features:

• Made New-PowerShellTip.ps1 script more resilient to bad user input.
