PowerShell 6 is open-source, and there are frequently new releases available. You can always visit https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases to learn more about these releases.
From a PowerShell perspective, to automate this step, here is a small script that reads the GitHub release RSS feed, converts the data appropriately, and then dumps the releases with their respective download URLs in descending order:
$AllProtocols = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]'Ssl3,Tls,Tls11,Tls12' [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $AllProtocols $Updated = @{ Name = 'Updated' Expression = { $_.Updated -as [DateTime] } } $Link = @{ Name = 'URL' Expression = { $_.Link.href } } Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases.atom -UseBasicParsing | Sort-Object -Property Updated -Descending | Select-Object -Property Title, $Updated, $Link
<p ">This is what a result could look like:
