Previous Release Notes:

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

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

Breaking Changes and Improvements

• In this release, Windows APIs were updated or removed for compliance, which means that PowerShell 7.3 doesn’t run on Windows 7. While Windows 7 is no longer supported, previous builds could run on Windows 7.
• PowerShell Direct for Hyper-V is only supported on Windows 10, version 1809 and higher.
• Test-Connection is broken due to an intentional breaking change in .NET 7. It’s tracked by #17018
• Add clean block to script block as a peer to begin, process, and end to allow easy resource cleanup (#15177)
• Change default for $PSStyle.OutputRendering to Host

• Move the type data definition of System.Security.AccessControl.ObjectSecurity to the Microsoft.PowerShell.Security module (#16355) (Thanks @iSazonov!)
• Before this change, a user doesn’t 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 needs to explicitly import Microsoft.PowerShell.Security module in order to use those code properties and code methods.
