Install multiple versions

I am using mise to manage dependencies, in a recent project I had dependencies on two versions of dotnet. My original mise.toml file looked like this:

[tools]
dotnet = "10.0.302"

But I also require 8.x.x which I can include by replacing the value with a list. Further, being unsure of what versions are available, and wanting to get the latest, I can include just the major number to have mise install the very latest version:

[tools]
dotnet = ["8", "10.0.302"]

Running mise install will install the latest 8.x.x., I can review what has been installed by running mise list on the command line:

mise list
# Tool           Version             Source                             Requested 
# dotnet         8.0.423 (symlink)   ~/Code/swift-integrator/mise.toml  8.0.423
# dotnet         10.0.302 (symlink)  ~/Code/swift-integrator/mise.toml  10.0.302

From there, I can pin the version in my mise.toml file:

[tools]
dotnet = ["8.2.423", "10.0.302"]
