 ## ✨ 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.

 ### PowerRename
- - Fixed enumeration counter skipping when regex replacement equals original filename (counters now advance reliably). Thanks [@daverayment](https://github.com/daverayment)!
+- PowerRename no longer crashes due to a missing resources file.
+- Added photo metadata extraction support using EXIF and XMP for pattern-based renaming with camera info, GPS coordinates, and date taken. See [PowerRename Documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/powerrename).

 ### Settings
- - Added ability to ignore specific hotkey conflicts to reduce noise.
- - Stopped creating backup directory during dry-run status checks (cleaner first-run). 
- - Standardized casing and localization for ZoomIt and modules header.
- - Improved search results page accessibility and conditional module grouping.
+- Fixed title bar overlapping issue at smaller window sizes.
+- Refined shortcut control visual design with improved consistency and spacing.
+- Added dashboard utilities sorting by name or status.
