| * Fix an issue where `Register-PSSessionConfiguration` fails if `SessionConfig` folder doesn't exist. (#4271) | ||

|

| ### Installer updates | ||
|
|
||

|
||
| ### Build/test and code cleanup | ||

||
| #### Cleanup `#if CORE` code | ||
|
|
||
| PowerShell 6.0 will be exclusively built on top of CoreCLR, | ||
| so we are removing a large amount of code that's built only for FullCLR. | ||
| To read more about this, check out [this blog post](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2017/07/14/powershell-6-0-roadmap-coreclr-backwards-compatibility-and-more/). | ||
