A "contribution" is the original software, or any additions or changes to the software.

A "contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this license.

"Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly on its contribution.

2. Grant of Rights

(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution, and distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create.

(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its licensed patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or derivative works of the contribution in the software.

3. Conditions and Limitations

(A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any contributors' name, logo, or trademarks.

(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.

(E) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it. The contributors give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this license cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

There's a ton of new stuff in this release ... and I'll write it all up later. (sorry) I needed to get a new release out so people could play with Out-WPF and New-BootsThread (they're in the PoshWpf.dll, add it as a module). This release (probably) only works with the PowerShell 2 CTP ...

You MUST

Try running the "QuakeMode" cmdlet (full name is Get-QuakeMode, but nevermind that) in the console.
Try pressing the focus hotkey: WINC by default (but if you're a quake junky, you can set it to WINOEMTILDE)

Warning

Remember, this is a preview :) There's a known bug with resizing the window if you turn off the Vista aero look on the window (or are not running Vista with aero) -- I wrote some custom window drawing, and broke the resizing for the custom "Expression" looking mode. If you're on XP, you won't really be able to resize the window larger than it starts up, if you're on Vista, just leave the "Native Methods" on (that is, leave it so it looks aero, instead of switching to the gray look).

Reviews for this release

It's working fine for me on Win7 64bit (RTM). There was a minor (cosmetic only) profile-related bug on start which I mentioned to Jaykul in the #powershell IRC channel, and he fixed it on the spot. PoshConsole casts off a lot of limitations found in cmd or the PS console (not the ISE, which uses a different metaphor). PoshConsole is going places!

Doesn't seem to work on Vista x64. It immediately crashes consistently. UPDATE: I just tried re-downloading this and it still crashes.

not very stable , but it has potential to get very popular if bugs are fixed

running WinXP SP2, couldn't get the version to work. i.e. crashes on running it. says "System.methodmissingexception". will try source code and compile. ok. uninstalled PoshConsole, installed SP3 for WinXP then installed Powershell 2 CTP3 and then installed Poshconsole. it works beautifully

Installed under WinXP SP2. At invocation, immediately blows up (i.e. encounters a bug) with debug message : "An unhandled exception ("System.MissingMethodException") occurred in PoshConsole.exe [5816]".
