Formula Columns have been in Public Preview since September 2022 and are supposed to be released to GA in March 2023 as part of the Power Platform 2022 release wave 2 plan.

Last week on 10/12 at Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft announced the general availability of Microsoft Power Pages.

With Named Formulas we can simplify app initialization, reduce load time and logic and improve overall app maintenance
In late July, Microsoft announced the preview of Dependent Assemblies, which would allow the ability to register individual assemblies, and upload a nuget package that contains both the plugin assembly and the dependent assembly.

The Power Platform Tools for Visual Studio provide the ability to quickly create, debug and deploy plugings. There are some other capabilities that are still currently in preview, such as the deployment of custom workflow activities, web resources and other integration components.
