Release Notes

## [5.1.0] - 2021-02-26

### Added

- PfxImport:
 - Added Base64Content parameter to specify the content of a PFX file that can
   be included in the configuration MOF - Fixes [Issue #241](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/241).
- CertificateImport:
 - Added Base64Content parameter to specify the content of a certificate file
   that can be included in the configuration MOF - Fixes [Issue #241](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/241).

### Changed

- Fix bug where `Import-PfxCertificateEx` would not install private keys in the
 ALLUSERSPROFILE path when importing to LocalMachine store. [Issue #248](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/248).
- Renamed `master` branch to `main` - Fixes [Issue #237](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/237).
- Updated `GitVersion.yml` to latest pattern - Fixes [Issue #245](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/245).
- Changed `Test-Thumbprint` to cache supported hash algorithms to increase
 performance - Fixes [Issue #221](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/221).
- Added warning messages into empty catch blocks in `Certificate.PDT` module to
 assist with debugging.

### Fixed

- Removed requirement for tests to use `New-SelfSignedCertificateEx` from
 [TechNet Gallery due to retirement](https://docs.microsoft.com/teamblog/technet-gallery-retirement).
 This will prevent tests from running on Windows Server 2012 R2 - Fixes [Issue #250](https://github.com/dsccommunity/CertificateDsc/issues/250).
- Fixed FIPS support when used in versions of PowerShell Core 6 & PowerShell 7.
- Moved thumbprint generation for testing into helper function `New-CertificateThumbprint`
 and fixed tests for validating FIPS thumbprints in `Test-Thumbprint` so that it
 runs on PowerShell Core/7.x.
