The first new PowerToys release in some time adds a raft of new features

Microsoft developers have pushed out PowerToys v0.86.0. To answer the first question that follows the release of a new version of this utility collection -- no, there are no new modules this time around.

There are, however, numerous new features to justify getting excited, including various new capabilities for the Advanced Paste utility. But there's more, much more, to this release.

Microsoft says that "in the v0.86 release cycle, we focused on new features, stability, and improvements". So while there is already a lot to explore in this particular release, we can expect more new features in imminent updates as well.

One of the biggest additions to PowerToys v0.86.0 is the new ability to paste an image to text, and paste certain items to a file. There are also a large number of bug fixes, and various tweaks and changes to settings and the interface across the suite of modules.

The rest of the changes and additions are neatly summed up in the release notes:
