EXAMPLES
Example 1
PS C:\> Get-WTReleaseNote
Name : Windows Terminal v1.0.1401.0
Version : v1.0.1401.0
Published : 5/19/2020 4:08:09 PM
Prerelease : False
Notes : ## Changes
* Windows Terminal now ships with [Cascadia Code 2005.15](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases/tag/v2005.15).
* All emoji are now sized as recommended by Unicode 13.0. You _will_ see some emoji that are smaller than you want them to be. That's just a fact of life. (#5934)
* Documentation for Windows Terminal has moved to [docs.microsoft.com](http://docs.microsoft.com/windows/terminal)!
* Existing user documentation in this repository will be moving to a nice farm upstate in short order.
It will not escape your notice that there are two packages in this release:
* `WindowsTerminal` is the stable build of Terminal.
* `WindowsTerminalPreview` is the preview version, which can be installed _side-by-side_ with the stable version.
Example 2
PS C:\> Get-WTReleaseNote -AsMarkdown -Preview | Show-Markdown | more
