# Changelog

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.

The format is based on
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/). Releases up to
4.2.6 are described in the [version history](Docs/Version-History.md).

## [Unreleased]

### Added

- Publish the documentation in the
  [wiki](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/wiki), generated from the
  `Docs` folder after every change, with a sidebar that lists all cmdlets
- Link the release notes in the PowerShell Gallery to this changelog

### Changed

- **Breaking:** require Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7, and declare
  support for both editions in the module manifest
  ([#61](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/issues/61)); the manifest
  declared PowerShell 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.5, although the module needs
  .NET Framework 4.5.2
- Rename the `-PassThur` parameter of `Remove-Item2` to `-PassThru`;
  `-PassThur` still works as an alias
  ([#64](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/pull/64))
- Publish the module as a Release build that contains only the module
  files; 4.2.6 was a Debug build with debug symbols and a copy of
  `System.Management.Automation.dll`
- Document every cmdlet with synopsis, description, parameters, examples,
  inputs, outputs, and notes, checked against the source code
- Rewrite the home, concepts, examples, and contributor pages to match the
  current cmdlets, including module settings, privileges, and long paths
- Move the version history and the installation instructions from the wiki
  into the documentation, and complete the version history with the release
  dates from the PowerShell Gallery, the missing notes for 4.2.2, 4.2.5, and
  4.2.6, and detailed notes for 4.2.4

### Deprecated

- Deprecate the `-PassThur` alias of `Remove-Item2`; use `-PassThru`

### Fixed

- Fix `Get-Help`, which showed only the syntax: ship the help file
  `en-US\NTFSSecurity.dll-Help.xml` generated from the cmdlet documentation,
  including the links that `Get-Help -Online` opens, instead of the outdated
  `NTFSSecurity-Help.xml`
- Fix documentation examples that did not work, such as restoring
  permissions from a CSV file and filtering entries by account
- Remove `Show-NTFSSimpleAccess`, which no longer exists, and duplicate
  entries from the cmdlets that the module manifest exports and the
  PowerShell Gallery lists
- Fix `Set-NTFSInheritance`, which failed with "Nullable object must have a
  value" when `-AccessInheritanceEnabled` or `-AuditInheritanceEnabled` was
  omitted; an omitted parameter now leaves its section unchanged
- Fix `Get-ChildItem2`, which stopped with an `InvalidCastException` when
  `-Path` pointed to a file; it now returns the file, like `Get-ChildItem`
- Fix `Get-FileHash2`, which stopped at a folder in `-Path` and didn't hash
  the files that followed it; folders are now skipped
- Fix `Get-NTFSAudit`, which returned nothing without the Security privilege
  instead of an error, and which returned the entries of the previous item
  again after a path whose security descriptor it couldn't read; it also no
  longer takes ownership of an item whose audit entries it can't read, which
  didn't help and could leave the owner changed
- Fix `Get-NTFSAccess`, which returned the entries of the previous item again
  after a path whose ACL it couldn't read
- Fix `Add-NTFSAudit`, whose `-Account` and `-AccessRights` parameters were
  both at position 2, so that positional calls failed; `-AccessRights` is
  now at position 3, like in `Remove-NTFSAudit`
  ([#4](https://github.com/raandree/NTFSSecurity/issues/4))
- Fix `-PassThru` of `Add-NTFSAudit` with `-SecurityDescriptor` and of
  `Remove-NTFSAudit` with `-Path`, which returned access entries; both now
  return the audit entries
- Fix the `InheritanceEnabled` property of audit entries, which reported the
  inheritance of the access entries; it now reports whether the audit
  entries are inherited
- Fix `Get-NTFSInheritance -SecurityDescriptor`, which reported
  `AuditInheritanceEnabled` as `$true` for a security descriptor that was
  read without its audit section; it now reports `$null`, like `-Path`
- Fix `Get-NTFSOwner`, which wrote a "The pipeline has been stopped" error
  for every path when a command such as `Select-Object -First 1` stopped the
  pipeline, and which repeated a failed read instead of reporting the
  denied access
- Fix `Copy-Item2`, which failed with a `DirectoryNotFoundException` when it
  copied a folder that contained files
- Fix `Disable-Privileges`, which couldn't disable the privileges when the
  module setting `EnablePrivileges` was `$false`
- Fix the inheritance cmdlets, which enabled the Backup, Restore, Take
  Ownership, and Security privileges even when the module setting
  `EnablePrivileges` was `$false`, and left them enabled
- Fix the `Inherits` column of the `Get-ChildItem2` output, which showed
  `True` for every item, also for items whose inheritance is disabled
- Fix `Add-NTFSAccess`, `Remove-NTFSAccess`, `Add-NTFSAudit`, and
  `Remove-NTFSAudit`, which failed with "Parameter set cannot be resolved"
  for `-SecurityDescriptor` without `-AppliesTo`, `-InheritanceFlags`, or
  `-PropagationFlags`; `-AppliesTo` is now mandatory in the `Simple`
  parameter sets, so such a command uses the flag parameters and their
  defaults, as for a path
- Fix `Get-NTFSEffectiveAccess`: `-ExcludeNoneAccessEntries` now leaves out
  items without access, the cmdlet uses the current location when `-Path`
  is omitted, and `-SecurityDescriptor` returns the effective access of the
  security descriptor; before, all three returned nothing or ignored the
  parameter
