Version 1.1.2:
- Only one copy of the app can be running at once. If you reopen it will restore the running app rather than open a second copy.
Version 1.1.1:
- Added a search function so you can easily filter the accounts list by typing a portion of the email address or friendly name into the search box.

- Fixed issue with Teams notifications not working immediately after the user was added to Portals. Reboot of Portals was previously required but this has now been fixed.
- Fixed issue with deleting a user that was currently selected as the default template. This caused the template setting to continue reference the deleted user and potentially stop new users from being added. This has been corrected in this version by returning the default user setting back to "None" when the current default user is deleted.

- Improved speed of closing portal windows. Feels much more snappy now.
- Fixed issue where typing text into the new user dialog got really slow due to some expensive re-rendering that was happening.

- Added new exchange portal to replace the old one which didn't work very well due to it's multi-window UI - The old portal is now called "exchange old" if you still want to access it.

Version 1.0.5:
- Global and per account notification sounds have been added! Take your pick from the list of 25 hand crafted notification sounds. If you want all accounts to use the same notification sound then set it in Global Preferences. If you want to have specific sounds for certain accounts you can configure these in Account Preferences. Account preferences are more specific so they will take precedence over the Global Preference setting.
- Added Friendly Names for accounts. In the account preferences you can now change the name displayed in the launcher window (and in the title bar of browser windows) from the default email address to another name of your choice (ie. a more friendly name).
- Fixed a bug when closing a browser window that still has a notification toast associated with it.

- Fixed an issue where the notifications toast window would steal focus from another window.
Version 1.0.2:
- Changed new window link clicking behavior. If you click on a link that requests a new window or tab it will get opened in a new window. This makes Exchange Admin Centre's window popping addiction workable.

Version 1.0.1:
- Added the ability to zoom in and out on web pages in the browser window using the menu and hotkeys.
