2.9.0 (2026-05-06)
Multi-account is a work-in-progress preview. The new
multiAccount.enabledflag (off by default) lets you keep separate Teams sessions in the same window. The Add-profile dialog and the Profiles → Switch-to menu work end-to-end in this release, but the Manage-profiles dialog, the visible top-right switcher pill, andCtrl+Shift+1…5shortcuts are still ahead. Useful to test, but expect rough edges and follow #2495 for ongoing progress.
