[Unreleased]

Fixed

• Restart-PveVm now uses PVE's native reboot endpoint (POST {vmid}/status/reboot) instead of composing a shutdown followed by a start. The two-call form raced Proxmox's own post-stop cleanup: the start won the guest's config lock, qm cleanup then held that lock for 30 seconds waiting on the newly started process, and the caller's next operation failed with can't lock file '/var/lock/qemu-server/lock-<vmid>.conf' - got timeout. Reproduced in integration runs 183, 185 and 186 as a cascade of 4 failures. Restart-PveContainer is unchanged — LXC has no reboot endpoint. See DECISIONS.md D016.
• Lifecycle cmdlets with -Wait (Start/Stop/Restart/Reset/Resume for VMs and containers) also wait for the guest's config lock (the lock: property, e.g. backup or migrate) to clear before returning, and the post-timeout fallback tests the most recent poll rather than whether a match was ever seen. See DECISIONS.md D015 — note that entry misdiagnosed the failure above and is superseded by D016.
• New-PveCluster -Wait now blocks until the cluster reports quorum, not merely until the creation task finishes. PVE's create task returns before corosync converges (~6s earlier in testing), so the natural New-PveCluster -Wait → Add-PveClusterMember sequence failed with cluster not ready - no quorum?. Adds -Timeout (seconds, default 60, range 1-3600) following the -Wait timeout convention used by Stop-PveContainer and Reset-PveVm. See DECISIONS.md D014.

[0.2.0] - 2026-05-22

Added

• New-PveVm disk controller / IO options: -DiskBus (virtio/scsi/sata/ide), -ScsiHardware (scsihw), -DiskIoThread, -DiskAio, -DiskSsd, -DiskDiscard, -DiskCache. Invalid combinations (e.g. ssd on virtio, iothread on sata/ide or scsi without virtio-scsi-single) are rejected up front with a clear error. (#65)
• Get-PveVmConfig now surfaces scsihw, efidisk0, and tpmstate0 as typed properties, plus an AdditionalProperties dictionary capturing any other config key (e.g. hostpci0) as native .NET values instead of silently dropping it. (#65)

Fixed

• Form values containing ; were split into bogus fields by PVE's parser, so a multi-device boot order set via Set-PveVmConfig -AdditionalConfig @{ boot = 'order=scsi0;ide2' } failed with unable to parse drive options. Semicolons are now percent-encoded. (#64)
• Invoke-PveVmGuestExec -Args were delivered to the guest as JSON on STDIN instead of as argv, so commands ran with no/garbage arguments. Arguments are now sent as the PVE command array (repeated keys), reaching the process as real argv. (#68)

[0.1.3] - 2026-05-20

Added

• Connect-PveServer -TimeoutSeconds to set the session-default HttpClient timeout (default 100s; 0 = infinite). (#59)
• Send-PveFile -TimeoutSeconds and Invoke-PveStorageDownload -TimeoutSeconds for per-call override with a 30-minute implicit default so large uploads/downloads no longer trip the 100s default. (#59)

Fixed

• New-PveVm -DiskSize and New-PveContainer -RootFsSize now normalize unit suffixes (32G, 1T, 32GB, etc.) to bare GiB before constructing the disk spec. Previously the suffix was passed verbatim, which LVM/LVM-thin storages rejected with unable to parse lvm volume name '32G'. Sub-GB units (M, MB, K, KB) are now rejected client-side with a clear error. (#58)
• PveHttpClient.SendAsync surfaces HttpClient.Timeout firings as PveApiException(RequestTimeout) with the resource path and configured timeout, instead of leaking a raw TaskCanceledException. Works across net48, net10.0, and netstandard2.0. (#59)
• Disk-size validation runs before ShouldProcess so typos like 512M are caught with -WhatIf, regardless of whether -DiskStorage/-RootFsStorage is also supplied. (#58)

[0.1.2] - 2026-03-27

Fixed

• Get-PveApiToken: FullTokenId is now computed from UserId!TokenId (was always empty). (#44)
• Set-PvePermission: added token ACL type with auto-detection from ! in -UgId, enabling permission assignment for API tokens. (#43)
• Connect-PveServer: always emits the session to the pipeline. Use -Quiet to suppress; -PassThru is kept hidden for backwards compatibility. (#45)

[0.1.1] - 2026-03-26

Added

• Firewall management cmdlets (21): rules, security groups, aliases, IP sets, options at cluster/node/VM/container levels

Changed

• All cmdlet classes sealed for design clarity and JIT optimization
• [OutputType] attribute added to all 169 cmdlets for IntelliSense and pipeline support
• Publishable projects retargeted to netstandard2.0 for PS 5.1 + PS 7.x compatibility
• System.Text.Json attributes removed — module uses Newtonsoft.Json exclusively
• Inline task-polling loops replaced with TaskService.WaitForTask (timeout + progress support)
• Password parameters changed from string to SecureString with secure memory handling
• ValidateRange(100, 999999999) added to all VmId parameters
• Uri.EscapeDataString() applied to all dynamic URL path segments
• Hardcoded verb strings replaced with verb class constants (VerbsCommon.Get, etc.)
• Auth header magic strings extracted to named constants in PveHttpClient
• Bare catch blocks replaced with specific or filtered exception handling
• MAML help (dll-Help.xml) and 170 markdown cmdlet docs generated
• PSGallery publish workflow with PS 5.1 smoke testing

Fixed

• ConfirmImpact.High added to all destructive cmdlets (Stop, Reset, Restart, Suspend, Remove, Restore, New-PveTemplate)
• Storage ValidateSet: removed glusterfs (dropped in PVE 9), added btrfs and esxi
• Backup compression: none → 0 (PVE expects the string "0", not "none")
• Cluster resource filter: removed lxc (PVE uses vm for both QEMU and LXC)
• Hardcoded test password moved from CI workflow to GitHub Actions secret
• Terraform variable default password removed (requires env var)
