BGShell is a lightweight PowerShell 2.0 host written using Windows Forms.
This re-release fixes number of annoying bugs introduced in the previous build. There's also support for Clear-Host function and nested prompts, along with the features introduced in the original June release, such as tab expansion, non-blocking UI, improvements to data tips, faster syntax highlighting, smaller footprint, and more!
