Explicitly on a per-module basis? Not really. The pwsh team have been working with the various product teams to ensure their modules are up to date and compatible for the PS7 release, though, so it’s been an ongoing process. Some of the more notable ones have been mentioned explicitly in blog posts, on twitter, etc., like the AD module.

 

The number of modules in 1809 just seems huge compared to 1803, including commands like get-netadapter and get-netfirewawllrule.
