PowerShell 7.3 is the next stable release, built on .NET 7.0.

PowerShell 7.3 includes the following features, updates, and changes.

Break changes and improvements

• In this release, Windows APIs were updated or removed for compliance, meaning that PowerShell 7.3 does not run on Windows 7. While Windows 7 is no longer supported, earlier versions could run on Windows 7.
• PowerShell Direct for Hyper-V is only supported on Windows 10, version 1809 and higher.
• The test connection is broken due to an intentional breaking change in .NET 7. It is tracked by #17018

• Move the type data definition of System.Security.AccessControl.ObjectSecurity to the Microsoft.PowerShell.Security module (#16355) (Thanks @iSazonov!)
• Prior to this change, a user did not need to explicitly import the Microsoft.PowerShell.Security module to use the code properties defined for an instance of System.Security.AccessControl.ObjectSecurity.
• After this change, a user must explicitly import the Microsoft.PowerShell.Security module to use these code properties and code methods.
