 # PowerShell Extension Release History
 
+## v2023.8.0
+### Wednesday, October 11, 2023
+
+This one took a while! As always, these changes were available in the pre-release channel
+which went through six versions to get us to today's release.
+
+The `cwd` setting now supports `~` for home directory, relative paths, and named workspace
+folders. The `additionalPowerShellExes` setting also now supports `~`, checks for missing
+extensions if necessary, and both settings smartly strip surrounding quotes from the
+user-supplied value. These two settings are now far more user-friendly.
+
+Thanks to efforts across the team, we are shipping the extension with the latest and
+greatest PSReadLine, `v2.3.4`!
+
+The extension commands AKA `$psEditor` API was reworked and no longer mangles path casing.
+It also now exposes the `CloseFile` and `SaveFile` methods, and supports multi-root
+workspaces.
+
+A new setting `integratedConsole.startLocation` was added to control the Extension
+Terminal's starting position. Thanks @krishankanumuri!
+
+To wrap things up, another crash when `$ErrorActionPreference = "stop"` was resolved. A
+race condition for the language status item's name and icon was fixed. Our telemetry went
+down after a package upgrade which required a cross-team effort to resolve (it's now also
+cleaned up to send just what we're using). The DSC breakpoints capability now works as
+intended without causing module load errors or emitting "sticky" progress information. A
+bug when the log level was set to `None` broke the server was fixed. Our server's major
+dependency, OmniSharp's `csharp-language-server-protocol`, was updated to v0.19.9 which
+means we can now use the current LSP spec v3.17. We had to work with the project to
+resolve a serialization regression. Finally, a lot of various build improvements were
+made.
+
+Please note the change in our versioning schema: the middle version number no longer
+corresponds to the month, but is simply incremented. Even versions are stable, and odd
+versions are pre-release, with the latter purposefully being versioned higher than the
+former in order to keep both channels available in the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
+
+Thanks to all the many community contributors whose efforts make releases such as these
+possible!
