Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.

||||
### 0.83 - July 2024 Update
|
||||
### 0.84 - August 2024 Update
|
||||
|
||||
In this release, we focused on stability and improvements.
|
||||
In this release, we focused on adding a new utility (PowerToys Workspaces), Advanced paste custom actions feature, stability, and improvements.
|
||||

**Highlights**

||||
|
||||
- Awake Quality of Life changes, including changing the tray icon to reflect the current mode. Thanks [@dend](https://github.com/dend)!

|
||||
- New utility: PowerToys Workspaces - this utility can launch a set of applications to a custom layout and configuration on the desktop. App arrangements can be saved as a workspace and then relaunched with one click from the Workspaces Editor or from a desktop shortcut. In the editor, app configuration can be customized using CLI arguments and "launch as admin" modifiers, and app window sizes and positions can be updated as desired. This is our first public version of Workspaces and we are excited for you to try it out for yourself! Make sure to file issues you encounter on our GitHub so the team can continue to improve the utility.
