Here are all the cool features we released during the month of August. Find a more detailed changelog in [our GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases).

# Template Metrics

Each template now has DAU metrics visible on the Template page. To ensure accuracy, activity is only recorded on workspace connections.

# Last Used

All workspaces now have a “Last Used” column, helping admins and users clean up unused resources.

# Resource Metadata

Templates may now expose arbitrary metadata, including resourcing, network addresses and runtime information. Mark variables as secret to expose workspace-scoped passwords and keys. [Learn more in our docs.](https://coder.com/docs/coder-oss/latest/templates/resource-metadata)
