0.3.12 Re-import PackageManagement/PowerShellGet in-session right after updating them, since Import-Module -Force

       merely stacks the new version alongside the old one still loaded in-process and cmdlets kept resolving

       to the stale binaries until the whole PowerShell session was restarted.

       Fix with -AllowClobber when installing local packages

0.3.11 Added a pinned version support to keep the same version of a package installed for all environments.

       This is needed for DuckDB.NET to keep the same version for Windows PowerShell 5.1 (netstandard2.0)

       and PowerShell Core (Windows and Linux)

0.3.10 Found the real cause behind the 0.3.9 "Cannot install local packages!" abort: $pack (the list of

       packages to install) was not forced into an array, so a single match collapsed to a scalar

       object. Windows PowerShell 5.1 (Desktop) has no .Count on scalars (unlike PS 6+), so

       $pack.Count was $null, and Write-Progress''s $i/$pack.Count division threw "Attempted to divide

       by zero", aborting the whole install loop before the .nupkg cleanup was ever reached. $pack is

       now always wrapped in @() so .Count is well-defined regardless of match count or PS edition

0.3.9 Fixed the 0.3.8 .nupkg cleanup being able to abort the entire local/global package install loop:

      Install-Package -Destination can still hold a lock on the freshly written .nupkg for a moment

      (observed on Windows PowerShell 5.1''s legacy PackageManagement NuGet provider), so an immediate

      open/delete could fail with a sharing violation, which was unhandled and aborted the rest of the

      run with an unhelpful "Cannot install local packages!" warning. The cleanup now retries a few

      times with a short delay and never lets a single package''s cleanup failure abort the others, and

      the outer warning now includes the actual exception message

0.3.8 Initial release of the InstallDependency modul to replace Install-Dependencies script

      Fixed the 0.4.6 cleanup deleting the .nupkg outright, which removed the package''s only remaining

      metadata source (no .nuspec, no .nupkg left) -- Get-LocalPackage could no longer discover it at

      all, so Import-Dependency silently stopped finding/loading it. Now extracts just the tiny .nuspec

      out of the .nupkg before removing it, so the package stays discoverable via Get-LocalPackage''s

      fast nuspec path without needing to keep the full .nupkg around

0.3.7 Added -KeepPackage switch (default: off, matching Install-NuGetPackage) that removes the raw .nupkg

      files Install-Package -Destination leaves behind as siblings of the extracted lib/ref/runtimes

      folders in LocalPackageFolder after a successful install. Only ever touches LocalPackageFolder,

      never the global/machine package cache

0.3.6 Fixed -LocalPackage/-GlobalPackage being typed [String[]], which silently coerced any

      PSCustomObject (e.g. @{name="Npgsql"; version="8.0.7"}) passed for version pinning into its

      string representation before the function body ever ran -- so version pinning never actually

      worked, for any version. Changed to [Object[]] so PSCustomObject entries pass through intact.

      This bug predates the module (inherited from the original Install-Dependencies script)

0.3.5 Fixed Install-Package failing with "multiple packages matched ''PackageManagement''" (NuGet.org

      coincidentally hosts a same-named package) by specifying -ProviderName when updating PackageManagement/

      PowerShellGet, and wrapped both updates in try/catch so a failure there cannot abort the whole run

0.3.4 Suppressed the return values of Install-Package/Install-Module/Update-Module/Register-PSRepository/

      Set-PSRepository/Register-PackageSource/Set-PackageSource, which were being written to the pipeline

      unsuppressed and dumped as full PackageManagement/PowerShellGet objects to the console/caller

0.3.3 Fixed module import failing with "Cannot index into a null array" when pwsh (PowerShell Core) is not

      installed (e.g. Windows Sandbox) -> the pwsh version was read before checking whether pwsh was found at all

0.3.2 Fixed module import failing with "Access is denied" in locked-down environments like Windows Sandbox,

      where the Get-CimInstance fallback for architecture detection is blocked. Now falls back further to

      Is64BitOperatingSystem, which does not need WMI/CIM access

0.3.1 Added Install-VcRedist to check for and install the Visual C++ Redistributable (x64), moved here from

      AptecoPSFramework''s own installation script so any consumer can reuse it

0.3.0 Removed -Script support (PowerShellGet scripts are deprecated in favor of modules). Install-Dependency now

      reuses Get-PSEnvironment (from ImportDependency) for already-installed modules and local/global NuGet

      packages instead of querying Get-InstalledModule/Get-Package itself, and local/global packages are now

      skipped when already installed at a current version, matching how modules already behaved
