Highlights

• Verified tools display maturity badges and can be filtered to the top of Marketplace and Installed lists.
• Tool ratings are now available in the desktop app so users can see community feedback before installing or launching a tool.
• User concern reporting lets people flag a tool that appears unsafe, spammy, or inappropriate from app and tool flows.
• Connectionless-capable tools can launch without a blocking connection prompt when a connection is optional.
• Installed tools now show a direct Launch action and clearer status styling for faster access.
• Tool update management includes a bulk Update all action for installed tools.
• Per-tool close protection can require an override prompt before a tool closes the app.

Fixes

• Fixed close and release prompts to respect per-tool PreventClose settings without blocking valid shutdown paths.
• Improved connection handling so optional-connection tools do not force a connection modal before launch.
• Fixed tool maturity ordering and filters so Verified tools appear first and are easy to find in app views.
• Corrected app flows for rating and concern reporting so submissions and local tracking behave consistently.
• Improved release and package download messaging, including macOS and Windows signing/update reliability.

Developer & Build

• Added tool maturity metadata, Verified badge rendering, and Verified-only filtering in the desktop app.
• Added in-app tool rating submission and retrieval with install-local persistence and aggregate display.
• Added support for reporting tool concerns with backend submission, source tracking, and duplicate prevention.
• Added connectionless tool support so tool manifests can declare launch without a required connection.
• Updated release workflows and packaging metadata for Windows/macOS artifact generation and update integrity.
• Added homepage sponsor support and refreshed installed-tool UI styling for the current app layout.

Install

• Windows: Power-Platform-ToolBox-1.2.6-arm64-win.exe
• macOS: Power-Platform-ToolBox-1.2.6-arm64-mac.dmg
• Linux: Power-Platform-ToolBox-1.2.6-x86_64-linux.AppImage

Notes

• No manual migration needed.
• Existing tools continue to work without changes; tools that do not advertise maturity or ratings simply appear as unverified or unrated.
