Preview builds of PowerShell Editor Services are now available

What the first preview contains

The v2.0.0-preview.1 version of the extension is built on .NET Standard (enabling support for both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core from one assembly)

It also contains PSReadLine support in the integrated console for Windows behind a feature flag. PSReadLine provides a consistent and rich interactive experience, including syntax coloring and multi-line editing and history, in the PowerShell console, in Cloud Shell, and now in VSCode terminal. For more information on the benefits of PSReadLine, check out their documentation.

To enable PSReadLine support in the Preview version on Windows, please add the following flag to your Start-EditorServices.ps1 call:

-FeatureFlags @('PSReadLine')

HUGE thanks to @SeeminglyScience for all his amazing work getting PSReadLine working in PowerShell Editor Services!

Breaking Changes

Due to the above changes, this version of the PowerShell Editor Services only works with Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell Core 6.
