+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- Minimum required version of `PowerShell Core` was raised from `6.0.2` to `6.1.0` due to `6.0` having reached the end of its support life-cycle. (#1165)
+- Updated used version of `Newtonsoft.Json` to `11.0.2`. (#1165) (by @bergmeister)
+- Command data files of PowerShell `6.0` were removed. Updated files for PowerShell `6.1` were added. This means that users that have customized the `UseCompatibleCmdlets` rule, need to either adapt the version string as per rule documentation or can alternatively copy in the old command data files into the `Settings` installation folder (#1075) (by @bergmeister)
+- The minimum required runtime of the full .Net Framework was raised from `4.5.1` to `4.5.2` as `4.5.1` is not supported any more. If the OS is patched then Windows update will have ensured that the newer runtime patch is available. (#1108) (by @bergmeister)
+- Emit parsing errors as diagnostic records (#1130) (by @JamesWTruher)
+
+### Formatter Rules
+
+- Add `UseCorrectCasing` formatting rule for cmdlet/function name (#1117) (by @bergmeister)
+- Fix `PSUseConsistentIndentationRule` to handle pipes correctly when there is a multi-line statement after a pipe and add `PipelineIndentation` customisation option for it (#1102) (by @bergmeister)
+- Add `CheckInnerBrace` and `CheckPipe` options to `PSUseConsistentWhitespace` (#1092) (by @bergmeister)
+
+### Script Analysis Rules
+
+- Add command data file for PowerShell `2.0` (#1091) (by @bergmeister)
+- Add command data files of PowerShell `6.1.0` (#1075) (by @bergmeister)
+- New PowerShell compatibility rules: `UseCompatibleCommands`, `UseCompatibleSyntax` and `UseCompatibleTypes` (#1156, #1133, #1176 and #1179) (by @rjmholt and @JamesWTruher)
+- Make `PossibleIncorrectComparisonWithNull` rule return a `SuggestCorrection` for auto-fixes in VS-Code or via the -Fix switch (#1115) (by @bergmeister)
+- Make UseCompatibleCmdlets not throw if default reference desktop-5.1.14393.206-windows is specified in the list of platforms and use core-6.1.0-windows as an alternative default reference (#1043 and #1075) (by @bergmeister)
+
+### Custom Rules
+
+- Translate `RuleSuppressionID` for custom rules as well (#1144) (by @bergmeister)
+- Allow for suppression of custom rules (#1145) (by @bergmeister)
+
+### DSC
+
+- Add support for Hashtable syntax of `Import-DscRessource` for `-SaveDscDependency` switch (#1138) (by @bergmeister)
+- Take module version into account for `-SaveDscDependency` switch (#1094) (by @bergmeister)
+
+### Performance
+
+Multi-threading efficiency was highly improved leading to a speedup whilst keeping the CPU usage roughly the same. One can expect `PSScriptAnalyzer` (PSSA) 1.18.0 to be more than twice as fast in most situations (including 'cold' runs) compared to its predecessor 1.17.0.
+
+- Increase lock granularity for CommandInfo cache #1166 (by @bergmeister and @rjmholt)
+- Restore caching in Helper.GetCommandInfo (#1074) (Thanks @SeeminglyScience!)
+
+### Fixes and General Improvements
+
+- Fix bug when culture was set to Turkish (#1095) (by @bergmeister)
+- Fix settings file array parsing when no commas are present (#1161) (by @rjmholt)
+- Ensure correct disposal with using statement (#1164) (by @bergmeister)
+- Fix bug that caused Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer to not run any rule after an execution of Invoke-Formatter in the same session (but Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer would've recovered when being called again) (#1121) (by @bergmeister)
+- Fix parsing of empty hashtable when string is provided as settings object (#1073) (by @bergmeister)
+- Fix AlignAssignment rule to calculate alignment position correctly and avoid crash (#1070) (by @bergmeister)
+- Don't crash on CIM classes with no superclass (#1046) (Thanks @edyoung!)
+- Trigger AvoidPositionalParameters rule for function defined and called inside a script. (#963 and #1175) (Thanks @kalgiz! and @bergmeister)
+- Add OutputType attributes to cmdlets to enhance tab completion (#1020) (by @bergmeister)
+- Allow paths to be pipelined to Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer (#1040) (Thanks @edyoung!)
+- PSGallery will no longer use PSAvoidUsingConvertToSecureStringWithPlainText and PSAvoidUsingUserNameAndPasswordParams rules (#1037) (Thanks @edyoung!)
+
+### Build
+

+- Mark setting files as content for easier out-of-the-box debugging (#1104) (by @bergmeister)
+- Upgrade from net451 to net452 since net451 is not supported any more and net452 is an in-place upgrade anyway (#1108) (by @bergmeister)
