 ## ✨ What's new
-**Version 0.95 (October 2025)**
+**Version 0.96 (November 2025)**
 
 For an in-depth look at the latest changes, visit the [Windows Command Line blog](https://aka.ms/powertoys-releaseblog).
 
 **✨ Highlights**
- - **NEW:** The **Light Switch** utility in PowerToys allows you to automatically switch between light and dark themes in Windows based on the time of day.
- - Command Palette delivered major search performance gains (new fuzzy matcher and smarter fallbacks) improving relevance and speed.
- - Peek can now be activated using just the Spacebar!
- - Find My Mouse added transparent spotlight with independent backdrop opacity, boosting focus and accessibility.
- - Settings now lets you delete shortcuts entirely and ignore conflicts.
- - Mouse Pointer Crosshairs gained orientation options (vertical / horizontal / both) for customizable accessibility. Thanks [@mikehall-ms](https://github.com/mikehall-ms)!
- - PowerRename fixed enumeration counter skipping ensuring reliable batch renames. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)!
- - ZoomIt restored legacy draw and snipping behaviors, and fixed recording issues, improving reliability. Thanks [@chakrik73](https://github.com/chakrik73)!
+ - Advanced Paste now supports multiple online and on-device AI model providers: Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Mistral, Foundry Local and Ollama.
+ - Command Palette received extensive improvements including file search filters, better clipboard history metadata, context-menu styling, and dozens of bug fixes and enhancements.
+ - PowerRename can now extract and use photo metadata (EXIF, XMP) in renaming patterns like `%Camera`, `%Lens`, and `%ExposureTime`.
+
+### Advanced Paste
+ - Advanced Paste now lets you connect to multiple AI providers instead of being limited to a single OpenAI provider. See [Advanced Paste documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/powertoys/advanced-paste) for usage.
+
+### Awake
+ - The Awake countdown timer now stays accurate over long periods. Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)!
+ - Fixed Awake context menu positioning. The fix removed the conversion of the mouse cursor from screen to client-window coordinates, instead using the raw screen coordinates returned by GetCursorPos; the context menu now appears at the correct screen position. Thanks [@lzandman](https://github.com/lzandman)!
 
 ### Command Palette
- - Applied conditional margin for icon-only tags to tighten layout. Thanks [@samrueby](https://github.com/samrueby)
- - Improved the reliability of accessing Command Palette settings through PowerToys Settings and executing other x-cmdpal:// protocol commands. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)
- - Enabled AOT by default for improved performance while simplifying publish configs.
- - Replaced service state color dots with play/pause/stop icons for enhanced accessibility. Thanks [@samrueby](https://github.com/samrueby)
- - Fixed filter dropdown sync and crash by binding SelectedValue and raising UI-thread notifications. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)
- - Ensured long links wrap correctly in details view.
- - Removed animation and enforced minimum width on filter dropdown for clarity. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)
- - Restored focus to More button after ESC closes context menu, improving keyboard flow. Thanks [@chatasweetie](https://github.com/chatasweetie)
- - Marked main and toast windows as tool windows to keep them out of Alt+Tab while preserving style. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)
- - Fixed AOT template and theming issues for filter separators. Thanks [@jiripolasek](https://github.com/jiripolasek)
- - Introduced grid layouts (small, medium, gallery) for richer page presentation.
- - Materialized result lists to avoid rescoring overhead.
- - Disabled problematic selection TextToSuggest behind environment flag.
- - Major search performance improvements (new fuzzy matcher, smarter fallbacks, fewer exceptions).
