Release Notes

0.1.3
- Fix false "Hyper-V Not Available" on Windows 11 Enterprise / Pro / Education
/ Workstation when Get-WindowsOptionalFeature returns empty for the feature
names we probe. Now also checks the OS SKU via Win32_OperatingSystem and
trusts that any non-Home Pro/Enterprise/Education/Workstation/Server edition
can install Hyper-V, even if the DISM feature lookup is inconclusive.

0.1.2
- Drop the WIN RELEASE picker. Microsoft now publishes only the most-recent
Windows 11 release on their public download page, and Fido's -Rel parameter
rejects older tokens like '24H2' as 'Invalid Windows release provided.'
- Pull '-Rel Latest' from Fido and pass '-Ed Home/Pro/Edu' (the consolidated
edition Microsoft now ships). The DISM step still picks Windows 11 Pro
from the combined install.wim.
- Parent VHDX is now cached as C:\VMs\Win11.vhdx (release-agnostic).

0.1.1
- Real % progress bar during the Windows ISO download (BITS-Transfer).
- Hyper-V auto-enable flow on first run with reboot prompt for fresh installs.
- LICENSE file (MIT) so the gallery's License link resolves.
- Builder resolves from the module folder first, then falls back to the
legacy C:\Tools\WinVHDX path.
- Fido cached outside the module folder so Publish-Module does not bundle it.
- Better error surfacing from Fido (e.g. the 715-123130 IP-block message is
now shown verbatim instead of "no URL").

0.1.0
- First module-shaped release. Wraps the existing WPF GUI behind Start-VMPilot.
