-#### Pull request - Change log
-
-* All PRs must update the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.MD) in your pull request.

-  Keeping the changelog up-to-date simplifies the release process for Maintainers.
-  An example (with an associated PR #):
-
-  ```markdown
-  ## Unreleased
-
-  * `Update-Item` now supports `-FriendlyName` (#1234, @ExampleUser).
-  ```
-  Note:  Please add `**Breaking Change**` to the front of the entry in the changelog if the change is [breaking.](#making-breaking-changes)

     * Instead of "Adding support for Windows Server 2012 R2", write "Add support for Windows Server 2012 R2".
     * Instead of "Fixed for server connection issue", write "Fix server connection issue".
