Unreleased

Added

• Publish the documentation in the wiki, generated from the Docs folder after every change, with a sidebar that lists all cmdlets

5.0.0 - 2026-10-04

Changed

• Breaking: require Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7, and declare support for both editions in the module manifest (#61); the manifest declared PowerShell 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.5, although the module needs .NET Framework 4.5.2
• Rename the -PassThur parameter of Remove-Item2 to -PassThru; -PassThur still works as an alias (#64)
• Document every cmdlet with synopsis, description, parameters, examples, inputs, outputs, and notes, checked against the source code
• Rewrite the home, concepts, examples, and contributor pages to match the current cmdlets, including module settings, privileges, and long paths
• Move the version history and the installation instructions from the wiki into the documentation, and add the missing notes for 4.2.5 and 4.2.6

Deprecated

• Deprecate the -PassThur alias of Remove-Item2; use -PassThru

Fixed

• Fix Get-Help, which showed only the syntax: ship the help file en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml generated from the cmdlet documentation, including the links that Get-Help -Online opens, instead of the outdated NTFSSecurity-Help.xml
• Fix documentation examples that did not work, such as restoring permissions from a CSV file and filtering entries by account
• Remove Show-NTFSSimpleAccess, which no longer exists, and duplicate entries from the cmdlets that the module manifest exports and the PowerShell Gallery lists
