Maintained fork available: v3.0.0 with PowerShell 7, vSphere 8, and bug fixes

[canberkys]

Hi Ariel and Edgar,

Thank you for creating vDocumentation. It has been an invaluable tool for the VMware community.

Since the project hasn't been updated since October 2019 (v2.4.7), I've created a maintained fork that modernizes the module for current environments:

Fork: https://github.com/canberkys/vDocumentation

What's been done in v3.0.0

• PowerShell 7+ and PowerCLI 13.x support
• vSphere 8 features: new Get-ESXDPUInventory for DPU/SmartNIC
• Cross-platform compatibility (Windows, macOS, Linux) via Join-Path
• Bug fixes: vSAN cluster type detection logic, variable typo in Get-ESXNetworking, path separator issues
• Code refactoring: 6 shared helper functions, ~1000 lines of duplicated code eliminated
• CI/CD: Pester 5 tests, PSScriptAnalyzer, GitHub Actions pipeline
• Cleaned up repo structure, rewrote README

Full attribution to both of you is preserved throughout the codebase, manifest, and documentation. The MIT license is unchanged.

If anyone is looking for a maintained version, the fork is available at the link above. Contributions are welcome.

Thank you again for the original work.

I am very happy to hear this! Congrats on the work and thank you for sharing it. I will update our readme to link to it. I'm happy vDocumentation is still giving people value.

I know Edgar was working on a whole new generation of the tool. I don't know if he is ready to share, but when he does, I'll let you know. We'll likely name it differently to avoid confusions.

Again, congrats and thank you!
