2.9.1

• Fixed: Import-Carbon.ps1 fails if Carbon is already imported from a different location than the location from which it will import Carbon.

2.9.0

• Carbon should now import in less than a second.
• Fixed: Grant-CHttpUrlPermission documentation uses command named Grant-CHttpUrlAclPermission. (Fixes issue 66.)
• Fixed: Enable-CNtfsCompression always enables compression even if compression is already enabled.
• Fixed: Disable-CNtfsCompression always disables compression even if compression is already disabled.
• Fixed: Uninstall-CService can write an error when a service's process exits at unexpected times.
• Fixed: Get-CUser can sometimes take 60 to 90 seconds to lookup a specific user.
• Fixed: Get-CGroup can sometimes take 60 to 90 seconds to lookup a specific group.
• Improved Set-CEnvironmentVariable and Remove-CEnvironmentVariable functions' reliability when setting and removing variables for a specific user (they now use Start-Job instead of Carbon's Invoke-CPowerShell).
• Fixed: Carbon was hiding the ServerManager module's Get-WindowsFeature, Install-WindowsFeature, and Uninstall-WindowsFeature cmdlets (fixes issue #55).
• Fixed: Set-CHostsEntry can sometimes clear the hosts file (fixes issue #39).
• Fixed: Get-CServiceConfiguration fails with a terminating exception if a service doesn't exist.

2.8.1

• Added verification information to Chocolatey package.
• Updated copyright.

2.8.0

• Carbon is now importable on PowerShell Core on all platforms. Most functions will not work on Linux/MacOS since they are Windows-specific. Many functions will also not work on PowerShell Core on Windows. The next major version of Carbon, 3, should fully support PowerShell Core on Windows.
• Get-CScheduledTask can now return RegisteredTask objects from the Scheduler.Service COM API. Use the new AsComObject switch. Getting COM objects is an order of magnitude faster than the old way.
• Fixed: Get-CScheduledTask isn't able to parse some task information returned on Windows 10.
• Deprecated Test-CWindowsFeature.
• Fixed: Get-CComPermission fails when there are permission to a non-existent identity.
• Fixed: looking up local users/groups is extremely slow on some machines.

2.7.0

• Uninstall-CService now kills a service's process when that service stops but is actually still running. This should decrease the frequency of needing to reboot a computer when uninstalling a service.
• Added C prefix to all Carbon commands, with aliases from old command names to new ones to maintain backwards compatability.
• Added bin\Use-CarbonPrefix.ps1 script to Carbon that will update files to use the new Carbon function names.
• Get-CCertificate: Added Path note property to returned objects.
• Fixed: Chocolatey uninstaller fails if the PSModulePath environment variable contains trailing or sequential semicolons.
• Grant-CPermission can now grant multiple permissions to an identity on files, directories, and registry items. Use the Append switch.
• Carbon_Permission DSC resource can now grant multiple permissions to an identity on files, directories, and registry items. Use the Append property.

2.6.0

• Enable-IisSecurityAuthentication and Disable-IisSecurityAuthentication sometimes hang. We don't know why, but we're working around the problem. These functions no longer always apply a configuration change. Instead, they only enable/disable security authentication if its not already enabled/disabled.
• Install-Service now outputs a verbose message showing the command line arguments used when calling sc.exe to install/update a service.
• Added ArgumentList property/parameter to Carbon_Service DSC resource. Thanks to Luigi Grilli for the contribution.
• Fixed: Get-HttpUrlAcl returns no ACLs if any ACLs exist whose identities no longer exist.

2.5.4

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: Carbon takes 10 to 20 seconds to load. In trying to detect if the Win32_OptionalFeature class is available on the current operating system, it was actually loading all the Win32_OptionalFeature instances. Oops. Now, it just checks for the existence of the Win32_OptionalFeature class. Load times should now be about two to three seconds. (Fixes issue #35.)
• Import-Carbon.ps1 now hides verbose messages typically shown by Import-Module and Remove-Module cmdlets.
• Fixed: Assert-FirewallConfigurable fails on Windows 10.
