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.

Compare the six NTFSSecurity packages in the PowerShell Gallery (4.0.0
and 4.2.2 to 4.2.6) and the commit history to complete the version
history:
- Add the Gallery publish dates to 4.0 and 4.2.2 to 4.2.6.
- Add notes for 4.2.2, which had none: Test-Path2, Remove-Item2
-PassThur, the new audit parameters, and the hidden Show-SimpleAccess.
- Replace "Bug fixes" for 4.2.4 with its changes (#12, #31, #33, #35),
and move the MIT license there: the 4.2.4 package already links it.
- Split 4.2.5 (#18, #36, #48, Show-SimpleAccess removed) from 4.2.6,
which only fixed the Applies to column that 4.2.5 broke (#57).

.github/workflows/ci.yml replaces appveyor.yml and runs on pull requests
and pushes to master:
- build (windows-2025): the same restore, Release build, and documentation
checks as before, then the Pester tests in Windows PowerShell 5.1 and in
PowerShell 7. .github/scripts/Invoke-Tests.ps1 writes the counts and
the failed tests to the job summary and the NUnit file to the
test-results artifact, and also fails on test files that fail.
- wiki (ubuntu-latest): generates the wiki from Docs; on pull requests it
lists the pages that would change, from master it publishes them with
the built-in token. Only this job has contents: write.
Actions are pinned by commit SHA. Every native command checks its exit
code, because GitHub checks only the last one. The contributor guide
describes the workflow and the wiki.

- .github/scripts/Export-WikiContent.ps1 converts Docs, except the
contributor guide, into flat wiki pages: Docs/README.md becomes Home,
cmdlet pages lose their platyPS metadata, links point to wiki pages or
to the files on GitHub, and links in code stay unchanged. It writes a
sidebar from the cmdlet groups of Docs/README.md, a footer, and the
former page How-to-install, and keeps the page name Version-History
that the release notes link to.
- Tests/Wiki.Tests.ps1 checks the conversion rules with a sample of Docs
and every link and anchor of the wiki generated from the real Docs.
- README, CHANGELOG, and the version history mention the wiki again.

- 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.

- Remove the Read the Docs and MkDocs configuration (.readthedocs.yml,
mkdocs.yml, Docs/requirements.txt). The Read the Docs project belongs
to a third party and points to a fork that no longer exists.
- Rename Docs/index.md to Docs/README.md, so that GitHub shows the
overview when you open the Docs folder, and link the changelog and the
license relatively.
- Move the version history and the installation steps from the wiki into
Docs/Version-History.md and Docs/README.md. Add the notes for 4.2.5
and 4.2.6, which the wiki never had, from the commit history.
- Describe previews and section anchors on GitHub in the contributor
guide, and drop the changelog entry about the documentation site.

* 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.

* chore: initialize the memory bank
Add the canonical .memory-bank base with evidence-based project context:
purpose and scope, workflows, stack and validation commands, architecture
map, decisions, and the open work found while documenting the cmdlets.

* docs: align documentation with the cmdlet source
- Fill all 36 platyPS cmdlet pages from the C# source: synopsis,
description, parameters, defaults, examples, inputs, outputs, and
notes, including documented limitations of the current code
- Check every example against live parameter metadata and run them in a
sandbox; fix examples that did not work (CSV restore, account filter,
recursive inheritance, -AccessRights typos)
- Rewrite the home, concepts, examples, README, and contributor pages;
add a grouped cmdlet overview, module settings, privileges, long paths,
and the platyPS workflow
- Document Remove-Item2 -PassThru as renamed after 4.2.6 (#64)
- Fix mkdocs.yml navigation, edit_uri, and copyright markup; add
build.os and a pinned MkDocs version for Read the Docs
- Point online help links to the pages on GitHub; add CHANGELOG.md

* ci: build the module and check the docs against the build
The documentation check ran Update-MarkdownHelp against the NTFSSecurity
release from the PowerShell Gallery (4.2.6), so it failed for every
unreleased parameter change. PR #91 failed because 4.2.6 still has
Remove-Item2 -PassThur while the source and the docs have -PassThru.
- Build NTFSSecurity.csproj in Release on the Visual Studio 2022 image,
using the .NET Framework 4.5.2 reference assemblies package instead of
an installed targeting pack
- Check Docs/Cmdlets against the module built from source
- Pin platyPS 0.14.2 and MarkdownLinkCheck 0.2.0, and enable TLS 1.2 so
the NuGet provider bootstrap works
