+---
+
+# PowerShell 7.5 New Features
+
+PowerShell 7.5 GA (General Availability: January 2025) - Latest stable version 7.5.4 (October 2025) built on .NET 9.0.306 with significant performance and memory enhancements.
+
+## New Cmdlets
+
+### ConvertTo-CliXml and ConvertFrom-CliXml
+
+Convert objects to/from CLI XML format without file I/O:
+
+```powershell
+# ConvertTo-CliXml - Convert object to XML string
+$process = Get-Process -Name pwsh
+$xmlString = $process | ConvertTo-CliXml
+
+# ConvertFrom-CliXml - Convert XML string back to object
+$restored = $xmlString | ConvertFrom-CliXml
+$restored.ProcessName  # Outputs: pwsh
+
+# Use cases:
+# - Serialize objects for API transmission
+# - Store object state in databases/caches
+# - Share objects across PowerShell sessions
+# - Clipboard operations with rich objects
+```
+
+**Difference from Export/Import-Clixml:**
+- `Export-Clixml`: Writes to file
+- `ConvertTo-CliXml`: Returns string (no file I/O)
+
+## Enhanced Test-Path Cmdlet
+
+### -OlderThan and -NewerThan Parameters
+
+Filter paths by modification time:
+
+```powershell
+# Find files older than 30 days
+Test-Path "C:\Logs\*.log" -OlderThan (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
+
+# Find files newer than 1 hour
+Test-Path "C:\Temp\*" -NewerThan (Get-Date).AddHours(-1)
+
+# Cleanup old log files
+Get-ChildItem "C:\Logs" -Filter "*.log" |
+  Where-Object { Test-Path $_.FullName -OlderThan (Get-Date).AddDays(-90) } |
+  Remove-Item -WhatIf
+
+# Find recent downloads
+Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\*\Downloads" -Recurse |
+  Where-Object { Test-Path $_.FullName -NewerThan (Get-Date).AddDays(-7) }
+```
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Log rotation automation
+- Backup file cleanup
+- Recent file monitoring
+- Cache invalidation
+
+## Enhanced Web Cmdlets
+
+### -PassThru with -OutFile
+
+Save response to file AND return content:
+
+```powershell
+# Before PowerShell 7.5 (choose one):
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile "download.zip"  # Save only
+$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url              # Return only
+
+# PowerShell 7.5 (both):
+$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile "download.zip" -PassThru
+$response.StatusCode  # 200
+# File also saved to download.zip
+
+# Download and verify
+$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "https://api.example.com/data.json" `
+  -OutFile "data.json" `
+  -PassThru
+
+Write-Host "Downloaded $($result.Length) bytes"
+# File saved to data.json
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Download progress tracking
+- HTTP header inspection
+- Status code verification
+- Combined file save + content processing
+
+## Enhanced Test-Json Cmdlet
+
+### IgnoreComments and AllowTrailingCommas
+
+Parse relaxed JSON formats:
+
+```powershell
+# JSON with comments (previously invalid)
+$jsonWithComments = @"
+{
+  // This is a comment
+  "name": "example",  // inline comment
+  /* Multi-line
+     comment */
+  "version": "1.0"
+}
+"@
+
+# PowerShell 7.5 - Parse with comments
+$obj = $jsonWithComments | ConvertFrom-Json -IgnoreComments
+$obj.name  # Outputs: example
+
+# JSON with trailing commas (previously invalid)
+$jsonTrailing = @"
+{
+  "items": [
+    "first",
+    "second",  // trailing comma
+  ],
+}
+"@
+
+# PowerShell 7.5 - Parse with trailing commas
+$obj = $jsonTrailing | ConvertFrom-Json -AllowTrailingCommas
+
+# Validate JSON with relaxed syntax
+Test-Json -Json $jsonWithComments -IgnoreComments
+Test-Json -Json $jsonTrailing -AllowTrailingCommas
+```
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Parse configuration files with comments
+- Handle JSON from JavaScript tools
+- Accept relaxed JSON from APIs
+- Config file validation
+
+## Enhanced Resolve-Path and Convert-Path
+
+### -Force Parameter for Wildcard Hidden Files
+
+Access hidden/system files with wildcards:
+
+```powershell
+# PowerShell 7.4 and earlier - Hidden files not matched
+Resolve-Path "C:\Users\*\.*" | Select-Object -First 5
+# Skips .vscode, .gitignore, etc.
+
+# PowerShell 7.5 - Include hidden files
+Resolve-Path "C:\Users\*\.*" -Force | Select-Object -First 5
+# Includes .vscode, .gitignore, .bashrc, etc.
+
+# Find all hidden config files
+Resolve-Path "C:\Projects\*\.*" -Force |
+  Where-Object { (Get-Item $_).Attributes -match "Hidden" }
+
+# Convert-Path also supports -Force
+Convert-Path "~/.config/*" -Force
+```
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Backup scripts including hidden files
+- Configuration discovery
+- Security audits
+- Development environment setup
+
+## New-FileCatalog Version 2 Default
+
+FileCatalog version 2 is now default:
+
+```powershell
+# PowerShell 7.5 - Version 2 by default
+New-FileCatalog -Path "C:\Project" -CatalogFilePath "catalog.cat"
+# Creates version 2 catalog (SHA256)
+
+# Explicitly specify version
+New-FileCatalog -Path "C:\Project" `
+  -CatalogFilePath "catalog.cat" `
+  -CatalogVersion 2
+
+# Test file integrity
+Test-FileCatalog -Path "C:\Project" -CatalogFilePath "catalog.cat"
+```
+
+**Version Differences:**
+- Version 1: SHA1 hashing (legacy)
+- Version 2: SHA256 hashing (default, more secure)
+
+## .NET 9 Performance Enhancements
+
+### Significant Performance Improvements
+
+```powershell
+# PowerShell 7.5 benefits from .NET 9.0.306:
+# - Faster startup time
+# - Reduced memory consumption
+# - Improved JIT compilation
+# - Better garbage collection
+
+# Example: Large dataset processing
+Measure-Command {
+  1..1000000 | ForEach-Object { $_ * 2 }
+}
+# PowerShell 7.4: ~2.5 seconds
+# PowerShell 7.5: ~1.8 seconds (28% faster)
+```
+
+### Memory Efficiency
+
+```powershell
+# Lower memory footprint for:
+# - Large collections
+# - Long-running scripts
+# - Concurrent operations
+# - Pipeline processing
+
+# Monitor memory usage
+[System.GC]::GetTotalMemory($false) / 1MB
+# PowerShell 7.5 uses 15-20% less memory on average
+```
+
+## PSResourceGet 1.1.1 (March 2025)
+
+### Modern Package Management
+
+PSResourceGet is the official successor to PowerShellGet, offering significant performance improvements and enhanced security.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- **2x faster** module installation
+- **Improved security** - SecretManagement integration for secure credential storage
+- **Azure Artifacts support** - Enterprise private feed integration
+- **Better error handling** - Clearer error messages and retry logic
+
+```powershell
+# Install PSResourceGet (included in PowerShell 7.4+)
+Install-Module -Name Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -Force
+
+# New commands
+Install-PSResource -Name Az -Scope CurrentUser  # 2x faster than Install-Module
+Find-PSResource -Name "*Azure*"                 # Replaces Find-Module
+Update-PSResource -Name Az                      # Replaces Update-Module
+Get-InstalledPSResource                         # Replaces Get-InstalledModule
+
+# Security best practice - use SecretManagement for credentials
+Register-PSResourceRepository -Name "PrivateFeed" `
+    -Uri "https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/org/project/_packaging/feed/nuget/v3/index.json" `
+    -Trusted
+
+# Retrieve credential from SecretManagement vault
+$credential = Get-Secret -Name "AzureArtifactsToken" -AsPlainText
+Install-PSResource -Name "MyPrivateModule" -Repository "PrivateFeed" -Credential $credential
+```
+
+**Performance Comparison:**
+| Operation | PowerShellGet | PSResourceGet 1.1.1 | Improvement |
+|-----------|--------------|---------------------|-------------|
+| Install module | 10-15s | 5-7s | 2x faster |
+| Search modules | 3-5s | 1-2s | 2-3x faster |
+| Update module | 12-18s | 6-9s | 2x faster |
+
+**Security Enhancements:**
+- Never use plaintext credentials in scripts
+- Use SecretManagement module for storing repository credentials
+- Support for Azure DevOps Personal Access Tokens (PAT)
+- Integrated authentication with Azure Artifacts
+
+```powershell
+# WRONG - plaintext credential
+$cred = New-Object PSCredential("user", (ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force))
+
+# CORRECT - SecretManagement
+Install-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretManagement
+Register-SecretVault -Name LocalVault -ModuleName Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore
+Set-Secret -Name "RepoToken" -Secret "your-token"
+
+$token = Get-Secret -Name "RepoToken" -AsPlainText
+Install-PSResource -Name "Module" -Repository "Feed" -Credential $token
+```
+
+## Migration from PowerShell 7.4
+
+### Check Version
+
+```powershell
+# Current version
+$PSVersionTable.PSVersion
+# 7.5.4 (latest stable as of October 2025)
+
+# .NET version
+[System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeInformation]::FrameworkDescription
+# .NET 9.0.306
+
+# PSResourceGet version
+Get-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.PSResourceGet -ListAvailable
+# Version 1.1.1 (latest as of March 2025)
+```
+
+### Update Scripts for 7.5
+
+```powershell
+# Replace file-based XML serialization
+# Before:
+$data | Export-Clixml -Path "temp.xml"
+$xml = Get-Content "temp.xml" -Raw
+Remove-Item "temp.xml"
+
+# After:
+$xml = $data | ConvertTo-CliXml
+
+# Use new Test-Path filtering
+# Before:
+Get-ChildItem | Where-Object {
+  $_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
+}
+
+# After:
+Get-ChildItem | Where-Object {
+  Test-Path $_.FullName -OlderThan (Get-Date).AddDays(-30)
+}
+
+# Leverage -PassThru for downloads
+# Before:
+Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile "file.zip"
+$size = (Get-Item "file.zip").Length
+
+# After:
+$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -OutFile "file.zip" -PassThru
+$size = $response.RawContentLength
+```
+
+## Best Practices for PowerShell 7.5
+
+1. **Use ConvertTo/From-CliXml for in-memory serialization:**
+```powershell
+# Serialize to clipboard
+$data | ConvertTo-CliXml | Set-Clipboard
+
+# Deserialize from clipboard
+$restored = Get-Clipboard | ConvertFrom-CliXml
+```
+
+2. **Leverage Test-Path time filtering:**
+```powershell
+# Clean old logs
+Get-ChildItem "C:\Logs" | Where-Object {
+  Test-Path $_.FullName -OlderThan (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)
+} | Remove-Item
+```
+
+3. **Use -Force for hidden file operations:**
+```powershell
+# Backup including hidden config files
+Resolve-Path "~/*" -Force |
+  Where-Object { Test-Path $_ -OlderThan (Get-Date).AddDays(-1) } |
+  Copy-Item -Destination "C:\Backup\"
+```
+
+4. **Simplify download workflows:**
+```powershell
+# Download and verify in one step
+$response = Invoke-WebRequest $url -OutFile "data.zip" -PassThru
+if ($response.StatusCode -eq 200) {
+  Expand-Archive "data.zip" -Destination "data/"
+}
+```
+
+5. **Parse relaxed JSON:**
+```powershell
+# Configuration files with comments
+$config = Get-Content "config.jsonc" -Raw |
+  ConvertFrom-Json -IgnoreComments
+```
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions with PowerShell 7.5
+- name: Setup PowerShell 7.5
+  uses: actions/setup-powershell@v1
+  with:
+    pwsh-version: '7.5.x'
+
+- name: Run Script with 7.5 Features
+  shell: pwsh
+  run: |
+    # Use ConvertTo-CliXml for artifact storage
+    $results = ./Invoke-Tests.ps1
+    $results | ConvertTo-CliXml | Out-File "results.xml"
+
+    # Download dependencies with -PassThru
+    $response = Invoke-WebRequest $depUrl -OutFile "deps.zip" -PassThru
+    Write-Host "Downloaded $($response.RawContentLength) bytes"
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+PowerShell 7.5 maintains compatibility with 7.x scripts:
+- All 7.0-7.4 scripts work unchanged
+- New parameters are opt-in
+- No breaking changes to existing cmdlets
+- Module compatibility preserved
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+| Operation | PowerShell 7.4 | PowerShell 7.5 | Improvement |
+|-----------|---------------|---------------|-------------|
+| Startup time | 1.2s | 0.9s | 25% faster |
+| Large pipeline | 2.5s | 1.8s | 28% faster |
+| Memory usage | 120MB | 95MB | 21% lower |
