 ### New
 
-* You can now attach Blob containers via Azure AD (RBAC or ACL permissions). This feature is intended to help users who have access to containers but not the Storage Accounts that the containers are in. See our Getting Started Guide for more information on this feature.
-* Acquire and break lease now work with RBAC. [#1354](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1354)
-* Managing access policies and setting public access level now work with RBAC. [#1355](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1355)
-* Deleting blob folders now work with RBAC. [#1450](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1450)
-* Changing blob access tier now work with RBAC. [#1446](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1446)
-* You can now quickly reset Quick Access via "Help" → "Reset". [#1327](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1327)
-
-### Preview Features
-
-* Device code flow sign in is now available to preview. To enable it, go to "Preview" → "Use Device Code Flow Sign-in". We encourage any users who have had issues with blank sign-in windows to try this feature, as it may prove to be a more reliable form of sign-in.
-* Storage Explorer integrated with AzCopy is currently available to preview. To enable it, go to "Preview" → "Use AzCopy for Improved Blob Upload and Download". Blob transfers completed with AzCopy should be faster and more performant.
+* Storage Explorer now has a dedicated Settings UI. You can access it either from Edit → Settings, or by clicking on the Settings icon (the gear) in the left-hand vertical toolbar. This feature is the first step we're taking towards providing a variety of [user requested settings](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/labels/%3Abulb%3A%20setting%20candidate). Starting in this release the following settings are supported:
+    * Theme
+    * Proxy
+    * Logout on exit [#6](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/6)
+    * Enable device code flow sign-in
+    * Auto refresh [#1526](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1526)
+    * Enable AzCopy
+    * AzCopy SAS duration
+
+    If there are other setttings you would like to see added, please [open an issue on GitHub describing the setting you want to see](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/new?assignees=&labels=%3Abulb%3A%20setting%20candidate&template=feature_request.md&title=).
+* Storage Explorer now supports Managed Disks. You can:
+    * Upload an on-prem VHD to a new Disk
+    * Download a Disk
+    * Copy and paste disks across resource groups and regions
+    * Delete Disks
+    * Create a Snapshot of a Disk
+
+    The uploading, downloading, and cross-region copying of disks are powered by AzCopy v10.
+* Storage Explorer can now be installed via the Snap store on Linux. When you install via the Snap store, all dependencies are installed for you, including .NET Core! Currently we have verified that Storage Explorer runs well on Ubuntu and CentOS. If you encounter issues installing from the Snap store on other Linux distros, please [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/new?assignees=&labels=snaps&template=bug-report.md&title=). To learn more about installing from the Snap store, see our [getting started guide](https://aka.ms/storageexplorer/snapinformation). [#68](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/68)
+* Two major changes have been made to attach with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) which are intended to make the feature more useful for ADLS Gen2 users:
+        * You now select the tenant that the resource you are attaching is in. This means that you no longer need to have RBAC access to the resource's subscription.
+        * If you are attaching an ADLS Gen2 Blob Container, you can now attach to a specific path in the container.
+* When managing ACLs for ADLS Gen2 files and folders, Storage Explorer will now show the friendly names for entities in the ACL. [#957](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/957)
+* When adding via OID to an ADLS Gen2 ACL, Storage Explorer will now validate that the OID belongs to a valid entity in your tenant. [#1603](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1603)
+* The keyboard shortcuts for navigating between tabs now use more standard key combinations. [#1018](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1018)
+* Middle clicking on a tab will now close it. [#1348](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1348)
+* If an AzCopy transfer contains skips and no failures, Storage Explorer will now show a warning icon to highlight that skips occured. [#1490](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1490)
+* The integrated AzCopy has been updated to version 10.2.1. Additionally, you can now view the version of AzCopy installed in the About dialog. [#1343](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1343)
 
 ### Fixes
 
-* Fixed being unable to load more than 50 subscriptions for one account. [#1416](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1416)
-* Fixed the "Sign in" button not working on the infobar that appears when a direct link fails. [#1358](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1358)
-* Fixed not being to upload .app files on macOS. [#1119](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1119)
-* Fixed "Retry All" not working for a failed blob rename. [#992](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/992)
-* Fixed "Cancel" not working while opening a blob. [#1464](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1464)
-* Fixed multiple spelling and tooltip issues throughout the product. Many thanks to all who reported these issues! [#1303](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1303), [#1328](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1328), [#1329](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1329), [#1331](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1331), [#1336](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1336), [#1352](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1352), [#1368](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1368), [#1395](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1395)
+* Many users have run into various "cannot read version of undefined" or "cannot read connection of undefined" errors when working with attached Storage Accounts. Although we are still continuing to investigate the root cause of this issue, in 1.10.0 we have improved the error handling around loading attached Storage Accounts. [#1626](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1626), [#985](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/985), and [#1532](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1532)
+* It was possible for the explorer tree (left-hand side) to get into a state where focus would jump to the top node repeatedly. This has been fixed. [#1596](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1596)
+* When managing a blob's snapshots, screenreaders would not read the timestamp associated with the snapshot. This has been fixed. [#1202](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1202)
+* Proxy setting on macOS were not being set in time for the authentication process to use them. This has been fixed. [#1567](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1567)
+* If a Storage Account in a sovereign cloud was attached using name and key, AzCopy would not work. This has been fixed. [#1544](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1544)
+* When attaching via a connection string, Storage Explorer will now remove trailing spaces. [#1387](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1387)
 
 ### Known Issues
 
+* The Auto Refresh setting does not yet affect all operations in the Blob Explorer.
+* Managed Disk features are not supported in Azure Stack.
+* If a Disk upload or paste fails and a new Disk was created prior to the failure, Storage Explorer will not delete the Disk for you.
+* Depending on when you cancel a Disk upload or paste, it is possible to leave the new Disk in a corrupted state. If this happens, you either need to delete the new Disk, or manually call the Disk APIs to replace the contents of the Disk such that it is no longer corrupted.
 * When performing a non-AzCopy Blob download, the MD5 for large files is not being verified. This is due to a bug in the Storage SDK. [#1212](https://www.github.com/Microsoft/AzureStorageExplorer/issues/1212)
 * When using RBAC, Storage Explorer requires some management layer permissions in order to access your storage resources. See the [troubleshooting guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/storage/common/storage-explorer-troubleshooting) for more info.
-* Attempting to access ADLS Gen2 Blobs when behind a proxy may fail.
 * Detaching from a resource attached via SAS URI, such as a blob container, may cause an error that prevents other attachments from showing up correctly. To work around this issue, just refresh the group node. See #537 for more information.
 * If you use VS for Mac and have ever created a custom AAD configuration, you may be unable to sign-in. To work around the issue, delete the contents of ~/.IdentityService/AadConfigurations. If doing so does not unblock you, comment on this issue.
 * Azurite has not yet fully implemented all Storage APIs. Because of this, there may be unexpected errors or behavior when using Azurite for development storage.

+* In rare cases, the tree focus may get stuck on Quick Access. To unstick the focus, you can Refresh All.
+* Uploading from your OneDrive folder does not work because of a bug in NodeJS. The bug has been fixed, but not yet integrated into Electron. To work around this issue when uploading to or downloading from a blob container, you can use the experimental AzCopy feature.
+* When targeting Azure Stack, uploading certain files as append blobs may fail.
+* After clicking "Cancel" on a task, it may take a while for that task to cancel. This is because we are using the cancel filter work around described here.
+* If you choose the wrong PIN/Smartcard certificate, then you will need to restart in order to have Storage Explorer forget that decision.
+* Renaming blobs (individually or inside a renamed blob container) does not preserve snapshots. All other properties and metadata for blobs, files, and entities are preserved during a rename.
+* Azure Stack does not support the following features. Attempting to use these features while working with Azure Stack resources may result in unexpected errors.
