Keep PowerShell up to date on your Mac
PowerShell is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships.
How PowerShell gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where PowerShell's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from PowerShell's own updater, or from the developer's site.
Questions about PowerShell
Does Floodtide update PowerShell?
Floodtide tells you when PowerShell has an update. PowerShell is in Floodtide's signed catalog, which reads the version its developer publishes, so a new release appears in your update list with no configuration. The developer publishes no download Floodtide can check, so the update itself comes from PowerShell's own updater or the developer's site.
How does Floodtide install a new version of PowerShell?
It does not install this one itself. It shows you the new version as soon as PowerShell's developer publishes it, and you update from PowerShell's own updater or the developer's site.
