Change New-Guid to generate UUID v7 by default by SufficientDaikon · Pull Request #27033 · PowerShell/PowerShell

Replace `Guid.NewGuid()` with `Guid.CreateVersion7()` in the
New-Guid cmdlet. UUID v7 (RFC 9562) embeds a millisecond-precision
timestamp making generated GUIDs monotonically sortable, which is
ideal for database primary keys and distributed systems.

Users who specifically need UUID v4 can call [Guid]::NewGuid() directly.

Fixes PowerShell#24895

Update `New-Guid` reference page for PowerShell 7.6 to reflect the
change from UUID v4 to UUID v7 (`Guid.CreateVersion7()`). Add .NET API
examples per docs team request, and note the breaking change in the
What's New page.
