- Set the prerelease label rc3, and add 5.0.0-rc2 to the versions that
the PowerShell Gallery already has.
- Extend the description of the manifest, which the PowerShell Gallery
shows, with the archive note (maintainer decision of 2026-10-06,
Decision 18).

Set the prerelease label rc2, describe the module as a PowerShell module in
the manifest, which the PowerShell Gallery shows, and keep the README free
of a prerelease version, which outlives the release. Tests check the
description, that the published 5.0.0-rc1 isn't reused, and the README.

Pushing a tag such as 5.0.0 or 5.0.0-rc1 on master now publishes the
package that the build job built and tested to the PowerShell Gallery
and creates the GitHub release with NTFSSecurity.zip.
- New-ModulePackage.ps1 copies only the FileList files of the Release
build, so no debug symbols, XML documentation, or copy of
System.Management.Automation.dll ship. It builds the nupkg with
Compress-PSResource and adds the command tags (PSIncludes_Cmdlet,
PSCmdlet_*, PSCommand_*) that PSResourceGet leaves out and that the
Gallery uses to list cmdlets and that Find-Command searches. Every CI
run builds and uploads the packages.
- Get-ReleaseInfo.ps1 returns the version and release notes: a dated
CHANGELOG section for a release, the [Unreleased] section for a
prerelease.
- The release job checks that the tag matches the manifest version and
points to a commit on master, reads the API key from the environment
powershell-gallery, and skips steps already done, so a rerun is safe.
- The manifest gets the prerelease label rc1 and a release notes link;
the 5.0.0 changelog entries move back to [Unreleased] until the final
release.
- Tests/Release.Tests.ps1 covers both scripts and the packages; the
changelog check moves there from Manifest.Tests.ps1.
- Docs/Contributing/05-Releasing.md describes the one-time setup and the
release steps; Docs/README.md explains -AllowPrerelease.

- Require Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7 (PowerShellVersion
5.1, which CompatiblePSEditions needs) and .NET Framework 4.5.2, and
use RootModule instead of the deprecated ModuleToProcess. Before,
Test-ModuleManifest, and with it Publish-Module, failed.
- Export exactly the 36 cmdlets: remove Show-NTFSSimpleAccess, which no
longer exists, and the duplicate inheritance cmdlets.
- Keep -PassThur, the name in 4.2.6 and earlier, as an alias of
Remove-Item2 -PassThru, deprecated in the changelog.
- Set version 5.0.0 in the manifest, in NTFSSecurity, Security2, and
PrivilegeControl, and in a new 5.0.0 section of CHANGELOG.md.
- Tests/Manifest.Tests.ps1 and Tests/Remove-Item2.Tests.ps1 guard the
manifest, the versions, and the alias.
BREAKING CHANGE: the module requires Windows PowerShell 5.1 or
PowerShell 7; the manifest no longer claims PowerShell 2.0.

* fix(help): ship the generated help file so Get-Help works
Get-Help showed only the syntax of the cmdlets: the module shipped a
pre-4.x MAML file for the old command names under the wrong name
(NTFSSecurity-Help.xml), while PowerShell looks for
en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml.
- Generate en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml from Docs/Cmdlets with
New-ExternalHelp and commit it. The csproj copies it to the output,
so every build ships it, including the local Debug builds that
releases are published from.
- List all runtime files, including the help file, in FileList.
- Remove the stale NTFSSecurity-Help.xml and the unused help editor
project NTFSSecurity\Help\NTFSSecurity.Help.pshproj.
- Add Tests\Help.Tests.ps1 (Pester 5): Get-Help shows the synopsis,
parameters, examples, and online link of every page, and
Get-Help -Online resolves to the GitHub page.
- Reword six sentences in five cmdlet pages so that each link ends its
sentence: platyPS drops the space after a link in the help text.
- CI regenerates the help file and fails when it differs from the
committed file, then runs the Pester tests.
- Document the regeneration step and the link rule in the contributor
guide.

* ci: report each Pester test once on AppVeyor
AppVeyor build 54834154 passed all 218 Pester tests but listed 870 on
its Tests tab: the NUnit import files a Pester 5 test under every block
that contains it (Pester, test file, Describe, and Context).
Report the results through the build worker API instead
(POST api/tests/batch): one entry per test with its outcome, duration,
and error message. Outside AppVeyor, and when no test ran, the step
sends nothing.
