Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
### 0.71 - June 2023 Update
### 0.72 - July 2023 Update
In this release, we focused on stability and improvements.

- Greatly reduced the PowerToys installed space by having utilities share the same installed path. When compared to 0.71, the 0.72 x64 machine installed version of PowerToys reduces the size reported in the Installed Apps screen from 1.15GB to 785 MB and the size in File Explorer properties for the installation folder from 3.10GB to 554 MB.
