Release Notes

## [0.24.0-preview0004] - 2025-08-26

### Added

- `Assert-BoundParameter`
 - Added parameter set `AtLeastOne` with parameter `AtLeastOneList` to
   validate that at least one parameter from a specified list is bound
   [#161](https://github.com/dsccommunity/DscResource.Common/issues/161).
 - Added parameter `IfEqualParameterList` to conditionally perform assertions
   only when specified parameters have exact values [#160](https://github.com/dsccommunity/DscResource.Common/issues/160).
- `Format-Path`
 - Added parameter `ExpandEnvironmentVariable` fixes [#147](https://github.com/dsccommunity/DscResource.Common/issues/147).
 - Added support to `Compare-DscParameterState` for comparing large hashtables
   that contain lists of elements.

### Changed

- `Get-ComputerName`
 - Replaced platform-specific logic with cross-platform implementation using
   `[System.Environment]::MachineName` for consistent short name behavior.
 - Enhanced FQDN functionality to use `[System.Net.Dns]::GetHostByName()` for
   proper domain name resolution on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
 - Improved error handling to gracefully fallback to short name when DNS
   resolution fails.
