After the update of accounts to better support latest Microsoft flavour of OAuth2 and the continuing effort on low-level library updates, the last fortnight brought (almost) the conclusion to the new charging settings. In the next (large) update, there will be the possibility to adjust charging of the phone in a finer way, including an hysteresis on full charge to limit battery aging.
signon-plugin-oauth2, a plugin to handle OAuth2 protocol, tomin1 opened a pull request adding parameters passed to plugins. This allows sending non-standard query items to server. For example, Microsoft identity platform uses this to know that it should prompt user to select account.
