Release Notes

## 1.1.3
* Add formatters for ManagementServer, RecordingServer, Hardware, Camera, Microphone, Speaker, Metadata, Input, Output, and ConfigurationItem objects

## 1.1.2
* Fix bug in Storage format file where TotalRetention was incorrectly derived
* Add Id column to both Storage and ArchiveStorage format files

## 1.1.1
* Added Get|Add|Remove-VmsStorage and Get|Add|Remove-VmsArchiveStorage to simplify configuring VMS storage
* Added first format specifiers in MilestonePSTools.Format.ps1xml - more to come!
* Fix PipelineStoppedException errors in a couple more cmdlets. The following used to throw exceptions: Get-Something | Select -First 1

## 1.1.0

_Some potentially breaking changes were made in this version so the minor version value has been incremented to reflect that._

### Breaking Changes (depending on your usage)
* Connect-ManagementServer will now through a terminating error if already connected to a Management Server
* Connect-ManagementServer has a -Force switch which will allow you to forcefully close existing connections and connect to the Management Server without error or warning
* Disconnect-ManagementServer no longer throws an error if you're not already connected. It will silently disconnect, or silently return if not connected
* Get-ManagementServer no longer throws a terminating exception, so you can use `Get-ManagementServer -ErrorAction Ignore` to test for null or check which Management Server, if any, you're connected to

### Improvements
* Several Get-* cmdlets no longer throw errors when you pipe to Select-Object -First 1. The PipelineStoppedException is now ignored
* The insensitive term 'Master' has been removed everywhere with the exception of an alias to Select-Site where 'MasterSite' exists as an alias for backward compatibility
* Some internal refactoring has improved the compatibility of MilestonePSTools with runspaces so that you can parallelize operations more easily without having to login inside each runspace/thread.

## 1.0.90
* Mark ProgressRecord objects as complete when progress reaches 100% so that the progress bars don't just stack on top of each other during bulk operations.
* Interpret Server Configurator exit codes on Invoke-ServerConfigurator and properly dispose of the Process object when Server Configurator exits.
* Switch out terminating errors in favor of normal errors in many functions. This way the user can decide how critical a particular error is and handle it without a try/catch block.
* Significantly improve performance of Add-Role on systems with many roles
* Add validation exception error handling to Set-Stream to improve error output.
* Modify Get-Log to catch and ignore PipelineStoppedException while passing any other exceptions to the pipeline as ErrorRecords
* Eliminate error in Get-CameraReport where Get-CameraSetting throws an error on some cameras due to the lack of "General" setting properties

## 1.0.89
* Update Set-ManagementServerConfig to also register the Data Collector server
* Modify Trace-Event so that the MaxInterEventDelay timer is only started after the first event is received.
* Fix bugs in Get-HardwareSetting and Get-CameraSetting where an empty object was returned if no matching setting was found. Now if the setting name has no wildcards and no matching setting is found, an error is returned. If a wildcard is present and no matching setting is found, the command returns nothing so a $null check will be useful. There's more work to do in these device setting cmdlets to tidy up and improve their output.

## 1.0.88
* Update Set-RecorderConfig to synchronize the Authorization Server URI for the Data Collector Server to match the URI used by the Recording Server

## 1.0.87
* Replaced Get-Diagnostics with Invoke-DiagnosticsTool and improved functionality including returning a FileInfo object representing the new ZIP file and only opening explorer.exe to the path if [environment]::UserInteractive is true.
* Update Set-RecorderConfig to also update registration for the Data Collector
