PowerShellPlus v2.1 Beta is live and publicly available! here's the exciting information about an early look at what the PowerShellPlus team has been working on. PowerShellPlus version 2.1 introduces several new and cool features focused on reducing the PowerShell learning curve, increasing the productivity of PowerShell development and exercising the capabilities of PowerShell 2.0.

- Learning Center Auto-Load - Makes searching for a request with a single match much easier to use since the topic will load automatically, saving extra keystrokes
- Cmdlet parameter position – Shows you additional information in the code completion popup window about parameters including position and type
