This is the first release from the repo supporting both PowerShell Core (all platforms) and Windows PowerShell.
The single zip file should work on platforms where PowerShell is supported, though testing on non-Windows platforms has been limited.
### Version 2.0
Pre-release notes:
There are known issues:
* Some custom key bindings are broken (#580)
Breaking changes:
* Requires PowerShell V5 or later and .Net 4.6.1
* Set-PSReadLineOption options have changed
- To specify colors, use the new `-Color` parameter and pass a Hashtable
- All other color options have been removed include `-ResetTokenColors`
- To specify background colors, you must now use a VT escape sequence.
* Changing the end of the prompt to red may not work automatically anymore if
your prompt is non-trivial. To fix, use `Set-PSReadLineOption -PromptText "> "`.
* Consistently use `PSReadLine` instead of `PSReadline` everywhere, APIs, cmdlets, files, etc.
* Building requires VS2017
