 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)!
