  • Get-SqlDscPreferredModule
    • Optionally specify what version of the the SQL preferred module to
      be imported using the SMODefaultModuleVersion environment variable

    is simpler to get the documentation for a specific version.
  • CODEOWNERS file was added to support automatically set reviewer.
• New private command:

    (issue #1946).

    • Handles PSModuleInfo objects from Get-SqlDscPreferredModule instead of strings.
    • Sets -ErrorAction 'Stop' on Get-SqlDscPreferredModule to throw an error if
      no SQL module is found. The script-terminating error is caught and made into
      a statement-terminating error.

• SqlAGListener
  • Made the resource cluster aware. When ProcessOnlyOnActiveNode is specified,
    the resource will only determine if a change is needed if the target node
