 # PowerShell Extension Release History
 
+## v2022.10.0
+### Thursday, October 20, 2022
+
+This October stable release incorporates a number of bugfixes throughout September and
+early October, though is not based on the latest preview, v2022.10.1-preview, as the
+refactors involved in enabling TypeScript's strict type checking and ESLint's strict
+linting will need more testing. However, based on the success of the PowerShell Script
+Analyzer's [v1.21.0][pssa-v1.21] release we wanted to get this to you sooner!
+
+Highlighted bugfixes include: supporting events registered to PowerShell's `OnIdle`
+handler so that Azure cmdlets such as `Az.Tools.Predictor` now work, a lock around the
+client's `start()` so the extension terminal cannot accidentally be spawned multiple
+times, and making the default debug configurations not override your current working
+directory (by unsetting `cwd` on all of them).
+
+In addition to fixing bugs, we also reintroduced a fan-favorite feature: the PowerShell
+Language Status Icon will visually indicate if the execution pipeline is busy. For
+example, a long-running task in the PowerShell Extension Terminal or a launched editor
+command will show a spinner!
+
+Finally, I wanted to call out work by Patrick to significantly improve the performance of
+reference finding (which powers the reference code lenses), so large workspaces can now be
+used more easily; when the improvement is not enough, we also introduced the setting
+`powershell.enableReferencesCodeLens` which can be used to disable reference finding
+without having to turn off other code lenses.
