+Profile support in ScriptAnalyzer
+========================================
+
+Profiles that describe ScriptAnalyzer rules to include/exclude based on `Severity` can be created and supplied to `Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer` using the `-profile` parameter. This enables a user to create custom configuration for a specific environment.
+
+Using Profile support:
+
+```powershell
+$myProfile = @{
+    Severity='Warning'
+    IncludeRules=@('PSAvoidUsingCmdletAliases',
+                    'PSAvoidUsingPositionalParameters',

+ScriptAnalyzer as a .net library
+================================
+
+ScriptAnalyzer engine and functionality can now be directly consumed as a library.

+Here are the public interfaces:
+
+```c#

+
+public void Initialize(System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.Runspace runspace,
+Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.ScriptAnalyzer.IOutputWriter outputWriter,
