 - Users can install the dotnet command by following the instructions specified at https://aka.ms/dotnet-install-script.
 - On Windows, users can install the dotnet command by running *Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://dot.net/v1/dotnet-install.ps1' -OutFile '.\dotnet-install.ps1'; & '.\dotnet-install.ps1' -Channel Current -Version '2.0.0'*

Bug fixes
* Fixed Add-Type issue in v6.0.0-beta.1 release of PowerShellCore. (#125, #124)

* Changed `Get-EnvironmentVariable` to get the unexpanded version of `%path%`. (#117)
* Refactor credential parameter propagation to sub-functions. (#104)
* Added credential parameter to subsequent calls of `Publish-Module/Script`. (#93)

* PowerShellCore support.
* Security enhancements including the enforcement of catalog-signed modules during installation.
