bb 6.1.0

What's new in 6.1.0

v6.1.0
bb v6.1.0 gives administrators who set bb's policy through Group Policy a template to do it with, and sets up shell completion for Windows PowerShell 5.1 when you run the setup from PowerShell 7.
It is a minor release with no breaking changes.
For administrators
- A Group Policy template for bb's Windows policy (#776):
bb reads its machine policy from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\bb, but there was no administrative template for it, so setting it through Group Policy meant writing registry items by hand. Each release now publishes bb_policy_templates.zip, holding bb.admx and en-US/bb.adml. Extract it into the PolicyDefinitions folder of your central store, and every value bb reads is a setting under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > bb, the Bitbucket Data Center CLI, with help that names the registry value it writes. Take the template from the release you deploy, since it offers the values that release reads. Fleet deployment has the steps.
Fixes worth knowing
- bb completion install run from PowerShell 7 sets up Windows PowerShell 5.1 as well (#819):
It set PowerShell 7 up, then printed a block of PowerShell error text and left Windows PowerShell 5.1 without completion. Both are set up now, and bb doctor and bb completion remove find the 5.1 profile too. If you ran the setup from PowerShell 7 before, run it again to add 5.1:
bb completion install --shell powershell
