Anyone else seeing this in RC1?



I have $MaximumHistoryCount = 64 (the default)

If I use get-history only 32 commands are available. This is
consistent as far as I can see.

Looks like a bug to me.

Nope that is the way it works. Take a look at the help on get-history. If
you want more history from get-history then use the count parameter like so:

Get-History -count $MaximumHistoryCount

Personally I wish Get-History displayed all history by default. I think
that would conform more to the "principle of least surprise". In that case,
you could run the output thru Select-Object -last 32 to get back to the
current behavior. Short of that change, the team could also add another
parameterset with -count replaced with -all.

Please bug this. I'll vote for it - I find it surprising/annoying as well.
