After years of steady iteration on the v4 line, we're thrilled to announce the release of psake 5.0.0—the biggest update to the PowerShell build automation framework since its inception. This release introduces a declarative task syntax, two-phase compilation, local file-based caching, structured output, and first-class CI integration. Here's everything that's new.
We're thrilled to announce the v1.0 release of the psake VS Code extension—bringing first-class psake support directly into the world's most popular code editor. If you've been running psake from the terminal, you can now discover, navigate, and execute your build tasks without ever leaving VS Code.
Two exciting updates to share today: PowerShellBuild v0.8.0 has been released with built-in Authenticode code-signing support, and we've added a comprehensive PowerShellBuild documentation section right here on the psake docs site.
We're excited to announce the launch of the psake Agent Skill—a specialized knowledge package that enables AI coding assistants like Claude and GitHub Copilot to provide expert assistance with psake build automation tasks. Built on the open Agent Skills standard, this portable skill brings intelligent, context-aware guidance directly to your AI-assisted development workflow.
It's been a while since our last update, and we've got some exciting news to share! In this post, we'll cover recent releases, welcome new team members, and highlight the various initiatives we're working on to make psake even better.
