Extension release notes and changelogs

The new mascot and icon set that shipped with TMS 9 has not landed well with everyone, some of the feedback on 9.0.2 made that clear. While that discussion continues, 9.0.2 also ships a direct, no-strings-attached answer for anyone who just wants the old look back: a checkbox.
TMS 9.0.2 is ready: one new list-based feature and a handful of confirmed bug fixes. It'll be submitted for Chrome Web Store review in a few days, not today, I'm taking a short break first for family time and some mental rest, so bear with the wait. The bigger news is behind the scenes anyway: every open issue on the tracker got triaged into an actual plan.
We said it was coming in the last post, and it's here. 9.0.1 is a direct response to issue #411 and everything we admitted needed fixing there: permissions requested too early, missing opt-outs, and a couple of things that were working as intended but never explained anywhere.
TMS 9 has now reached everyone on the Chrome Web Store's normal rollout schedule. Good news, mostly. But an update this size doesn't land quietly, and a few things landed in our inbox that deserve a direct answer instead of a buried reply in a GitHub thread.
Five weeks ago we opened this series with a new look for a new era. Google just cleared v9.0.0 for review, and starting Monday morning, August 3rd, the rollout to the Chrome Web Store begins. This is the last stop on the road.
It's also pushing about 40°C outside as we write this, summer in full swing, and yes, 40°C in Italy is exactly as absurd as it sounds. Wherever you are, we hope you get a good stretch of vacation out of it. We won't really be taking one ourselves, but we'll admit to easing off the throttle a little.
A targeted fix release addressing the tab group restore regression introduced by Chrome 149, where suspended tabs inside tab groups were silently discarded after a browser restart.
A targeted patch for Vivaldi users who were experiencing crashes related to a browser-specific API inconsistency.
A maintenance release with a handful of quality-of-life improvements to the session management page, the suspended tab watermark, and the update banner.
A focused patch release that fixes the annoying "new version available" banner showing up repeatedly even after TMS was already up to date.
TMS 8.1.0 is a significant feature release. Tab Groups are now a first-class citizen, favicons are more reliable, and the suspended tab page can now follow your OS theme automatically.
