Our [prioritized roadmap][roadmap] of features and utilities that the core team is focusing on.
### 0.41 - June 2021 Update
### 0.43 - July 2021 Update
Our goals for [v0.39 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F20) and [v0.41 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F21) cycle included stability updates and optimizations, general bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and supporting the integration of the new community led project, Awake, which allows Power-Users to now keep their computer awake on demand!
Our goals for the [v0.43 release cycle](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+project%3Amicrosoft%2FPowerToys%2F22) primarily centered around stability updates and optimizations, installer updates, general bug fixes, and accessibility improvements.
#### Highlights from v0.39 / v0.41
An experimental version of PowerToys (v0.44) will be released the 2nd week of August and will include an updated version of Video Conference Mute.
The PowerToys team delayed our 0.39 release. We decided that we wanted to do more for the next release of PowerToys, so this longer time allowed us to get in more amazing pull requests by you, the community, to add / improve functionality which we merged into 0.41.
