`$psversiontable.psversion -gt "3.0"` which is used by PowerShellGet to determine if a module is compatible with the current version of PowerShell.
Change is to allow specifying only major or major+minor where the missing segments default to zero by providing overloaded constructors and allow
the string parsing method to not require major, minor, and patch segments to all be specified (only major is required).
Based on the [response](https://github.com/mojombo/semver/issues/368) from the maintainer of semver, there is no requirement to have strict
conformance for the inputs to the constructor and allowing "3.0" to result in a semver of 3.0.0 is reasonable.
* Implement -version parameter in console host (address part of https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/1084)
This does not support providing a specific version to run, but
like most other *nix commands, -version will now return the version
of the PowerShell Engine. 'powershell' is prepended to the output to
match other *nix commands. We are using gitcommitid which includes more
info about the build.
I (Jason Shirk) ran https://github.com/dotnet/codeformatter with the default rules, basically:
codeformatter /nocopyright "/c:DEBUG,UNIX,CORECLR" @files.rsp
This caused a few problems building, which were fixed up manually.
Notable changes:
`this.` is removed unless needed to disambiguate.
private instance fields are renamed to have a `_` prefix.
private static fields are renamed to have a `s_` prefix.
I left some projects alone (like PackageManagement) and also left some generated code alone.
$PSVersionTable.PSEdition currently supports Desktop and Core enums.
Because PowerShell is going to be Open and also available on Linux/Mac
from August, we decided to rename these values so as to make it clear to
the end user.
We decided to use the names WindowsPowerShell,PowerShellCore.
