Surprise! PowerGUI VSX 1.1 – Beta 2

It’s been almost a month since I’ve posted anything about PowerGUI VSX (well…anything). I was on vacation, was pretty swamped at work and moved. But now that I’m a bit more settled I’ve found some time to work on a new  beta of PowerGUI VSX 1.1. Great surprises in this one! PowerGUI 2.2 Beta was recently released; which added native PowerShell debugging. I had to rework some of the PowerGUI VSX debugger to get this going correctly. I also fixed a slew of bugs and added some cool new additions. Here’s a list:

• Fixed a debug installation issue requiring Visual Studio to be run as Administrator the first time it is executed after installation of the VSX
• Added better Property window support to allow for examination of variable properties (and properties of properties, etc…)
• Added Comment\Uncomment\Indent\Unindent toolbar support
• Fixed a bug where renaming an open script file would continue to save to the old file location
• Fixed an issue where multiple tabs of the same script could be opened
• Tabs are now changed when debugging multiple scripts
• Found out that Express editions are not supported (they only support extensions with templates)
• Any cool things inherited from PowerGUI 2.2

Hopefully this drop is a lot easier to install. If you have any issues please let me know ASAP so I can get them handled (Issue tracker, blog messages, twitter, carrier pigeon…whatever). If you don’t have it already you will need PowerGUI 2.2 Beta for this release.

I hope to release a stable version pretty soon here. I’ll see what I can do about the remaining bugs in the backlog. Until then, grab this:
