Release Notes

Preview release. New in 0.5.0: fuzzy fzf package-manager pickers for winget (wins/wrm/wup), scoop (sins/srm/sup), and choco (cins/crm/cup) — search->install, uninstall, and multi-select update, each with a live preview pane (debounced so fast scrolling does not spawn a preview per skipped item) and multi-key/act-in-place fzf bindings; Ctrl+G W/S/C PSReadLine chords read the current line as a query and drop the resulting install command onto the command line for editing. Package data uses object output (Microsoft.WinGet.Client, the Scoop module) and choco -r machine-readable output instead of table scraping; scoop search uses the fast scoop-search hook. Invoke-DFPicker gains -Expect/-Bind/-FzfArgs; wrm -Source filters installed packages by source. Carries forward: the completion stack (PSReadLine + Carapace + PSFzf + inshellisense), trifle/ftrifle multi-catalog package discovery, fnm per-directory Node switching, clh/clhp colorized CLI help, the PSReadLine color theme system, .cmd shim generation, and dependency-ordered registration via dependsOn.
