An empty Get-ChildItem2 -Attributes value, such as 0 or None in
PowerShell 7, matched every item and returned hidden items as well; it now
stops the cmdlet with AttributesEmpty, as Get-ChildItem rejects it. The page
says that the + and ! operators of Get-ChildItem aren't supported and that
-Recurse still enters hidden folders, and the changelog says that a call
with several attributes now returns more items. The type data test starts
Windows PowerShell, where the import failed, from both CI legs and checks
that LengthOnDisk is still there.

Get-ChildItem2 -Attributes returned only the items that had all the listed
attributes, so -Attributes Hidden, ReadOnly returned nothing where
Get-ChildItem returns both kinds of items. It now returns the items that have
any of them (#5).
BREAKING CHANGE: to get only the items with all the listed attributes,
filter the result with Where-Object, as the cmdlet page shows.

Nine cmdlets still read the PWD variable for the default location when
-Path was omitted, so #86 remained for that form; they now use
GetCurrentLocation. Copy-Item2 writes the object that CopyTo returns for the
copy instead of relying on AlphaFS to update the source object, and a test
covers a folder.

The new FAQ page answers the questions that the issues ask again and again
and links the pages with the details. The Get-NTFSEffectiveAccess page said
that a security descriptor produces no result, and the Copy-Item2 page now
says that -PassThru returns the copy; tests pin both -PassThru objects.

Copy-Item2, Move-Item2, and Remove-Item2 wrote the item with -PassThru
also when -WhatIf or a declined confirmation skipped the operation.

Copy-Item2 and Move-Item2 named the source path as the destination,
Disable-Privileges said that the privileges were now enabled, and the
warning of Get-NTFSEffectiveAccess misspelled the privilege.

Defect 18. Copy-Item2, Move-Item2, and Remove-Item2 left ProcessRecord
with "return" when a path didn't exist and, for copy and move, when the
destination file existed without -Force, so the remaining paths of the
same -Path array were not processed. They now write the error and
continue with the next path.

Defect 13. The Inherits column of the Children2 view, which formats the
Get-ChildItem2 output, negated the IsInheritanceBlocked property. The
module defines that property for System.IO.FileInfo and DirectoryInfo
only, not for the AlphaFS objects that Get-ChildItem2 returns, so the
column showed !$null, that is True, for every item. The view now reads
the protection of the DACL from the item.
Tests/ItemCmdlets.Tests.ps1: 2 tests on the formatted output.

Defect 10. AlphaFS 2.2 copies a folder only into an existing destination
folder; otherwise DirectoryInfo.CopyTo fails with a
DirectoryNotFoundException for the first file, so Copy-Item2 could not
copy a folder that contained files. The cmdlet now creates the
destination folder first; AlphaFS then copies the files and subfolders.
Tests/ItemCmdlets.Tests.ps1: 1 test.

Defect 2. Get-ChildItem2 cast every -Path item to DirectoryInfo, so a file
path stopped the cmdlet with an InvalidCastException, a terminating error
that also skipped the remaining paths. Like Get-ChildItem, a file path now
returns the file itself, filtered like the other items; with -Directory it
returns nothing.
Tests/ItemCmdlets.Tests.ps1 (new): 3 tests.
