Element X Android turns on multi-select forwarding and better search in v26.11.0.

◆Current state
Element X Android v26.11.0 enables multi-select forwarding by default, renders media captions and updated display names in the new timeline renderer, and keeps previous results visible while searching with the 3-month limit shown. It also fixes voice-message playback sync and a crash on logout. It follows v26.10.0's multi-account and global search launch.
◆Where it's heading
The app is moving its new timeline renderer toward default and polishing the October features: forwarding, search and multi-account. Releases arrive every one to three weeks.
◆Prediction
Expect the new timeline renderer to become the default within the next one or two releases.

    Element X Android v26.10.1

    A follow-through release on v26.10.0's multi-account launch: notifications from other sessions on the same device, other accounts' status in settings, and forwarding with room suggestions. Fixes for duplicate key backups and lost cross-signing keys show the encryption side of multi-account still needed work.

    Multi-account support and global search arrive

    Multi-account support and global search graduate from flags to shipped features, alongside default back pagination, unread indicators and cross-device notification dismissal. It closes two of the largest parity gaps with classic Element rather than changing direction.
