install-powershell.ps1 script still installs version 7.1.0, even though 7.1.1 has been released

See original GitHub issue

I am getting the following message in PowerShell:

A new PowerShell stable release is available: v7.1.1
   Upgrade now, or check out the release page at:
     https://aka.ms/PowerShell-Release?tag=v7.1.1

However, executing iex "& { $(irm https://aka.ms/install-powershell.ps1) } -UseMSI" still tries to install 7.1.0:

VERBOSE: About to download package from 'https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.1.0/PowerShell-7.1.0-win-x64.msi'

A simple Update-PowerShell command that reliably works is long overdue.

I think the issue is that the metadata.json under https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/master/tools/metadata.json has not been updated accordingly.
