* added Get-SqlDatabase * added Get-SqlIndexFragmentation * added Get-SqlStoredProcedure * added Optimize-SqlIndexFragmentation * added Optimize-SqlStoredProcedure ### 2.3.3 * added Invoke-CountdownTimer to implement a count down timer. Accurate to within several seconds ### 2.2.2 * Changed to SemVer versioning, 3 positions Major#.Minor#.Build# * added Convert-Int32ToUint32 to aid in converting 32 bitmasks which are interpreted as negative int32 numbers, returned from things like (Get-Acl -Path $pwd).Access.FileSystemRights * added Format-ReverseToken to take a tokenized string like 'monster.google.com' and convert it to 'com.google.monster' * added New-InputBoxSecureString which will prompt for value and return a secure string. Can optionally verify input, and specify labels for input box(es) * renamed Get-FolderName from Get-Folder to not conflict with Vmware module. Aliased to Get-Folder for backward compatibility * renamed Get-SaveFileName from Get-SaveFile to be more consistent across file/folder functions. Aliased to Get-SaveFile for backward compatibility * updated Convert-RGBToHex to better handle color specifications * updated ConvertTo-DateTime because of logic error in handling Unix datetime strings * updated Get-BashPath to include switch so as to not resolve path to existing path on the system * updated Get-FileWithLeadingSpace to just produce the fullname of the files * updated Get-Fortune and added -Speak switch * updated Get-NTFSPermission to use Convert-Int32ToUint32 for certain filesystem rights, like -1610612736 corresponds to GenericExecute,GenericRead and previously the negative number would throw an error as it is really a 32 bitmask and not an int32 * updated Test-Port so that the results are given in the Process block and not wait until the End block ### 2.2.1.6 * updated PoshFunctions.psd1 to explicitly enumerate AliasesToExport * tested all functions work properly in both PowerShell 5.1 and 7.1.2 * updated all *.ps* to pass Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer without throwing RuleViolation.

Optionally can convert to lowercase first, then title case it. * added Get-Address - will get address given specified latitude and longitude coordinates. Requires active internet connection. External site is throttled so don't make too many calls in short period of time. * added Get-GeoCode - will get latitude and longitude coordinates for specified address. Requires active internet connection.
