New Contributors

And also a big thank you to @fflaten!

Contrary to my tweet, we won't remove support for 3, 4, and 6.2 in Pester 5, the PR was added and then reverted. Will keep that change for Pester 6.

  • Drop support of PowerShell 3, 4, 6.2, and unsupported 7 by @nohwnd in #2432
  • Revert dropping support of Powershell 3 and friends by @nohwnd in #2435

Error on update:

My certificate was renewed, and you will get error on update, because the Issuer changed. And there is no way to get valid certificate from the previous issuer. It is still signed by me, but don't take my word for it, go check the certificate.
