Clint Rutkas has announced PowerToys 0.25.0 for Windows 10.

PowerToys v0.25.0

PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows experience for greater productivity. Inspired by the Windows 95 era PowerToys project, this reboot provides power users with ways to squeeze more efficiency out of the Windows 10 shell and customize it for individual workflows.

For the entire commit history, please look at the 0.25 release. Below are just a few of the bullet items from this release.
