when running direnv on an older version of powershell, every new shell produces this error:

Unable to find type [LocationChangedEventArgs].

The property 'LocationChangedAction' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists

this would be nicer:

PS /Users/simon> Invoke-Expression "$(/tmp/direnv-install/bin/direnv hook pwsh)"
Exception: direnv: powershell version 7.5.0 does not meet the minimum required version 8!

note that the minimum version is 7, the above output was made on my machine with a bogus minimum greater than what I had installed

I think this says that v7.2.0 is required
