Active context

Current focus

5.0.0-rc4 is released and recorded. Next is 5.0.0, when the maintainer decides; then the repository is archived in favor of WindowsAccessControl (Decision 18). Issue #34 is open with Bug and Help Wanted; a user there planned to test 5.0.0-rc3 against an IBM ESS file server.

Evidence

  • 2026-10-06: the tag 5.0.0-rc4 on 01d9264, the merge commit of #113, published the prerelease to the PowerShell Gallery and to GitHub. The Gallery package and NTFSSecurity.zip hold identical module files; the package imports as 5.0.0-rc4 in both editions and passes the smoke tests of #41 and #34. CI passed for #113 and on master.
  • The rc4 replies are posted: #41, #108, #109, and #111 are closed as completed, #90 and #107 got WontFix and are closed as not planned. The findings that the rc4 review deferred are listed in #113.
  • Without the Security privilege, the tests that change the audit entries of a descriptor from Get-NTFSSecurityDescriptor skip; a basic-user run fails only the Enable-Privileges -PassThru count test (techContext).
  • Hand commands to the maintainer as fenced code blocks at the end of the reply, and end the turn there; never put them in the question dialog, which also covers a reply before it. A pull request names an issue without a closing keyword unless the merge should close it (techContext).

Next step

Before 5.0.0, read #34 for feedback from the tester. Then release 5.0.0 as progress.md describes.
