Release Notes

## [0.1.1-preview0004] - 2021-04-06

### Added

- Initial addition of commandd:
   - `Get-nxKernelInfo`: A simple wrapper around `uname -a`.
   - `Get-nxLinuxStandardBaseRelease`: A quick wrap of `lsb_release -a` command (this `lsb_release` must be present on the system).
   - `Get-nxDistributionInfo`: Parsing information found in `/etc/*-release`.
   - `Get-nxItem`: Similar to Get-Item for file system provider but on Linux using `ls -d`.
   - `Get-nxChildItem`: Similar to Get-ChildItem for the FileSystem provider but on Linux, this will use the `ls` command.
   - `Compare-nxFileSystemMode`: An easy way to compare two sets of unix file system permissions.  
       You can use a Symbolic notation (`rwxrwxrwx`), or the numericla permission (`777` or `0777`).
   - `Get-nxLocalUser`: Read and parse local users from `/etc/passwd`.
   - `Get-nxLocalGroup`: Read and parse local groups from `/etc/group`.
   - `Set-nxMode`: Set files and folder mode (permisisons) using `chmod`.
   - `Set-nxOwner`: Set the owner for files and folders (and optionally the group ownership) using `chown`.
   - `Set-nxGroupOwnership`: Set the group owning the files and folders using `chgrp`.

- Supporting Enums and Classes for File System permissions.
   - In order to make interpretation, Comparison, and manipulation of File system permissions easier,
     the module implements a few classes and enum to make that work.

### Fixed

- Fixed the main branch to release from to be `main` instead of `master`.
- Removing the 'Configure winrm' tasks (as we're only running on linux).
- Added the DocGenerator tasks to build.yaml.
- Fixed casing to `nxtools` because I can't change PSGallery package casing.
