Release Notes

# PSAliasFinder 2.0.0

BREAKING: minimum PowerShell version raised to 7.4. Alias suggestions now use
the IFeedbackProvider subsystem instead of a PSReadLine key hook. Output is
rendered in the native [Feedback] block and styleable via $PSStyle.

Set-AliasFinderHook and Test-CommandAlias have been removed — no shims. Legacy
users should stay on 1.0.0 (Install-Module PSAliasFinder -RequiredVersion 1.0.0).

## New

- IFeedbackProvider integration (fires on success, aggressive filters).
- Persistent per-user config at $env:APPDATA\PSAliasFinder\config.json.
- Cooldown (default 30 min), ignore list, MaxSuggestions (default 1).
- Get-AliasFinderConfig returns current settings as PSCustomObject.

## PowerShell version notes

- 7.6+: works out of the box. No flags.
- 7.4 / 7.5: requires BOTH experimental features enabled + restart:
   Enable-ExperimentalFeature PSFeedbackProvider
   Enable-ExperimentalFeature PSSubsystemPluginModel
- 7.0-7.3 / 5.1: not supported. Stay on 1.0.0.
