 Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
 
-### 0.91 - May 2025 Update
+### 0.90 - March 2025 Update
 
 In this release, we focused on new features, stability, and automation.
 
 **✨Highlights**
 
- - We focused on greatly improving Command Palette's performance and fixing a large amount of bugs. Some new features we've added are:
- - Added the ability for Command Palette to search any file using a fallback command.
- - Added the ability to make the Command Palette global hotkey a low-level keyboard hook.
- - Added open URL fallback command for the WebSearch extension, enabling users to directly open URLs in the browser from Command Palette.
- - You can now define custom formats in the Date and Time plugins of PT Run and Command Palette. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!
+![Gif for Command Palette](doc/images/overview/CmdPal_Hero.gif)
 
-### Advanced Paste
-
- - Fixed an issue where Advanced Paste failed to create the OCR engine for certain English language tags (e.g., en-CA) by initializing the OCR engine with the user profile language. Thanks [@cryolithic](https://github.com/cryolithic)!
+- New module: Command Palette ("CmdPal") -  Created as the evolution of PowerToys Run with extensibility at the forefront, Command Palette is a quick launcher with a richer display and additional capabilities without sacrificing performance, allowing you to start anything with the shortcut **Win+Alt+Space**! Thanks [@zadjii-msft](https://github.com/zadjii-msft), [@niels9001](https://github.com/niels9001), [@michael-hawker](https://github.com/michael-hawker), [@joadoumie](https://github.com/joadoumie), [@plante-msft](https://github.com/plante-msft), [@ethanfangg](https://github.com/ethanfangg) and [@krschau](https://github.com/krschau)!
+ - Enhanced the Color Picker by switching from WPF UI to .NET WPF, resulting in improved themes and visual consistency across different modes. Thanks [@mantaionut](https://github.com/mantaionut)! Thanks [@Jay-o-Way](https://github.com/Jay-o-Way) and [@niels9001](https://github.com/niels9001) for helping with the review!
+ - Added the ability to delete files directly from Peek, enhancing file management efficiency. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment) and thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek) for the review!
+ - Added support for variables in template filenames, enabling dynamic elements like date components and environment variables for enhanced customization in New+. Thanks [@cgaarden](https://github.com/cgaarden)!
 
 ### Color Picker
 
- - Fixed an issue where a resource leak caused hangs or crashes by properly disposing of the Graphics object. Thanks [@dcog989](https://github.com/dcog989)!
- - Fixed an issue where Color Picker exited on Backspace keypress by ensuring it only closes when focused and aligning Escape/Backspace behavior. Thanks [@PesBandi](https://github.com/PesBandi)!
- - Added support for Oklab and Oklch color formats in Color Picker. Thanks [@lemonyte](https://github.com/lemonyte)!
-
-### Command Not Found
-
- - Updated the WinGet Command Not Found script to only enable the experimental features if they actually exist.
+ - Replaced WPF UI with .NET WPF for the Color Picker, enhancing compatibility and improving theme support. Thanks [@mantaionut](https://github.com/mantaionut)! Thanks [@Jay-o-Way](https://github.com/Jay-o-Way) and [@niels9001](https://github.com/niels9001) for helping with the review!
 
 ### Command Palette
 
- - Updated bug template to include Command Palette module.
- - Fixed an issue where the toast window was not scaled for DPI, causing layout issues under display scaling.
- - Fixed an issue where Up/Down keyboard navigation didn't move selection when caret was at position 0, and add continuous navigation like PT Run v1. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
- - Updated the Time and Date extension code to simplify it and improve clarity.
- - Fixed an issue where capitalization in the command causes failure when trying to go to the mouse pointer, resolved by adjusting the command to lowercase.
- - Added open URL fallback command for the WebSearch extension, enabling users to directly open URLs in the browser from Command Palette. Thanks [@htcfreek](https://github.com/htcfreek)!
- - Added setting to enable/disable system tray icon in CmdPal and align terminology with Windows 11. Thanks [@davidegiacometti](https://github.com/davidegiacometti)!
- - Fixed an alias update issue by removing the old alias when a new one is set.
- - Resolved GitHub casing conflict by migrating Exts and exts into a new ext directory, ensuring consistent structure across platforms and preventing path fragmentation.
- - Fix an issue where the 'Create New Extension' command generated empty file names.
- - Added the ability to make the global hotkey a low-level keyboard hook.
- - Added support for JUMBO thumbnails, enabling access to high-resolution icons.
- - Fixed crashes when CmdPal auto-hid itself while an MSAL dialog was opened, by preventing CmdPal from hiding if it's disabled.
- - Added support for immediately selecting search text when a page is loaded.
- - Fixed a bug where extension settings pages failed to reload on reopen by updating the settings form when extension settings are saved.
- - Fixed an issue where the Command Palette failed to launch from the runner.

-# 🧪 C++ Project Fuzzing Test Guide
-
-This guide walks you through setting up a **fuzzing test** project for a C++ module using [libFuzzer](https://llvm.org/docs/LibFuzzer.html).
-.
-
----
-
-## 🏗️ Step-by-Step Setup
-
-### 1. Create a New C++ Project
-
-- Use **Empty Project** template.
-- Name it `<ModuleName>.FuzzingTest`.
-
----
-
-### 2. Update Build Configuration
-
-- In **Configuration Manager**, Uncheck Build for both Release|ARM64, Debug|ARM64 and Debug|x64 configurations.
-- Note: ARM64 is not supported in this case, so leave ARM64 configurations build disabled.
----
-
-### 3. Enable ASan and libFuzzer in `.vcxproj`
-
-Edit the project file to enable fuzzing:
-
-```xml
-<PropertyGroup>
-  <EnableASAN>true</EnableASAN>
-  <EnableFuzzer>true</EnableFuzzer>
-</PropertyGroup>
-```
-
----
-
-### 4. Add Fuzzing Compiler Flags
-
-Add this to `AdditionalOptions` under the `Fuzzing` configuration:
-
-```xml
-/fsanitize=address
-/fsanitize-coverage=inline-8bit-counters
-/fsanitize-coverage=edge
-/fsanitize-coverage=trace-cmp
-/fsanitize-coverage=trace-div
-%(AdditionalOptions)
-```
-
----
-
-### 5. Link the Sanitizer Coverage Runtime
-
-In `Linker → Input → Additional Dependencies`, add:
-
-```text
-$(VCToolsInstallDir)lib\$(Platform)\libsancov.lib
-```
-
----
-
-### 6. Copy Required Runtime DLL
-
-Add a `PostBuildEvent` to copy the ASAN DLL:
-
-```xml
-<Command>
-  xcopy /y "$(VCToolsInstallDir)bin\Hostx64\x64\clang_rt.asan_dynamic-x86_64.dll" "$(OutDir)"
-</Command>
-```
-
----
-
-### 7. Add Preprocessor Definitions
-
-To avoid annotation issues, add these to the `Preprocessor Definitions`:
-
-```text
-_DISABLE_VECTOR_ANNOTATION;_DISABLE_STRING_ANNOTATION
-```
-
----
-
-## 🧬 Required Code
-
-### `LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput` Entry Point
-
-Every fuzzing project must expose this function:
-
-```cpp
-extern "C" int LLVMFuzzerTestOneInput(const uint8_t* data, size_t size)
-{
-    std::string input(reinterpret_cast<const char*>(data), size);
-
-    try
-    {
-        // Call your module with the input here.
-    }
-    catch (...) {}
-
-    return 0;
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## ⚙️ [Test run in the cloud](https://eng.ms/docs/cloud-ai-platform/azure-edge-platform-aep/aep-security/epsf-edge-and-platform-security-fundamentals/the-onefuzz-service/onefuzz/faq/notwindows/walkthrough)
-
-To submit a job to the cloud you can run with this command:
-
-```
-oip submit --config .\OneFuzzConfig.json --drop-path <your_submission_directory> --platform windows --do-not-file-bugs --duration 1
-```
-You want to run with --do-not-file-bugs because if there is an issue with running the parser in the cloud (which is very possible), you don't want bugs to be created if there is an issue. The --duration task is the number of hours you want the task to run. I recommend just running for 1 hour to make sure things work initially. If you don't specify this parameter, it will default to 48 hours. You can find more about submitting a test job here. 
-
-OneFuzz will send you an email when the job has started.
