Bicep PowerShell Module - v1.3.0 Release Notes

New features

• Bicep PowerShell module is now using the assemblies from the official Bicep repository(version 0.2.328). No more dependency on having Bicep CLI installed to compile and decompile templates.

Bicep CLI could also be used if you want to use new features not yet supported by the PowerShell Module.
• Invoke-BicepBuild is now Build-Bicep (Invoke-BicepBuild is kept as an alias).
• Bicep-Build now supports -OutputDirectory and -AsString parameters.
• Added SupportsShouldProcess on Build-Bicep.
• ConvertTo-Bicep now supports -OutputDirectory and -AsString parameters.
