#MultiMC 0.4.6
##Functional changes
- Old version.json and custom.json version files will be transformed into a minecraft version patch:
- The process is automated
- LWJGL entries are stripped from the original file - you may have to re-do LWJGL version customizations
- Old files will be renamed - .old extension is added
- It's now possible to:
- Customize, edit and revert builtin version patches (Minecraft, LWJGL)
- Edit custom version patches (Forge, LiteLoader, other)
- Blocked various environment variables from affecting Minecraft:
- "JAVA_ARGS",
- "CLASSPATH",
- "CONFIGPATH",
- "JAVA_HOME",
- "JRE_HOME",
- "_JAVA_OPTIONS",
- "JAVA_OPTIONS",
- "JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS"
- If you rely on those in any way, now would be a time to fix that
- Improved handling of LWJGL on OSX (.dylib vs. .jnilib extensions)
- Jar mods are now always put into a generated temporaty Minecraft jar instead of being put on the classpath
- PermGen settings:
- Changed default PermGen value to 128M because of many issues from new users
- MultiMC now recognizes the Java version used and will not add PermGen settings to Java >= 1.8
- Implemented simple modpack import and export feature:
- Export allows selecting which files go into the resulting zip archive
- Only MultiMC instances for now, other pack formats are planned
- Import is either from local file or URL, URL can't have ad/click/pay gates
- Instance copy doesn't follow symlinks on Linux anymore
- Still does on Windows because copying symlinks requires Administrator level access
- Instance delete doesn't follow symlinks anymore - anywhere
- MCEdit tool now recognizes MCEdit2.exe as a valid file to runtime
- Log uploads now follow the maximum allowed paste sizes of paste.ee and are encoded properly
- MultiMC now doesn't use a proxy by default
- Running profilers now works on Windows
- MultiMC will warn you if you run it from WinRAR or temporary folders
- Minecraft process ID is printed in the log on start
##UI changes
- Version lists:
- All version lists now include latest and recommended versions - recommended are pre-selected
- Java version list now sorts versions based on suitability - best on top
- Forge version list includes the development branch the version came from
- Minecraft list marks latest release as 'recommended' and latest snapshot as 'latest', if it is newer than the release
- Mod lists:
- Are updated and sorted after adding mods
- Browse buttons now properly open the central mods folder
- Are no longer watching for updates when the user doesn't look at them
- Loader mod list now recognizes .litemod files as valid mod files
- Improved wording of instance delete dialog
- Icon themes:
- Can be changed without restarting
- Added a workaround for icon themes broken in KDE Plasma 5 (only relevant for custom builds)
- Status icons:
- Included a 'yellow' one
- Are clickable and link to help.mojang.com
- Refresh when the icon theme does
- Changed default console font to Courier 10pt on Windows
- Description text in the main window status bar now updates when Minecraft version is changed
- Inserted blatant self-promotion (Only Minecraft 1.8 and up)
- This adds a bit of unobtrusive flavor text to the Minecraft F3 screen
- Log page now has a button to scroll to bottom
- Errors are reported while updating the instance in the Version page
- Fixed typos (forge -> Forge)
##Internals
- Massive internal restructuring (ongoing)
- Downloads now follow redirects
- Minecraft window size is now always at least 1x1 pixel (prevents crash from bad settings)
- Better handling of Forge downloads (obviously invalid/broken files are redownloaded)
- All download tasks now only start 6 downloads, using a queue (fixes issues with assets downloads)
- Fixed bugs related to corrupted settings files (settings and patch order file saves are now atomic)
- Updated zip manipulation library - files inside newly written zip/jar files should have proper access rights and timestamps
- Made Minecraft resource downloads more resilient (throwing away invalid/broken index files)
- Minecraft asset import from old format has been removed
- Generally improved MultiMC logging:
- More error logging for network tasks
- Added timestamps relative to application start
- Fixed issue with the application getting stuck in a modal dialog when screenshot uploads fail
- Instance profiles and patches are now loaded lazily (speeds up MultiMC start)
- Groups are saved after copying an instance
- MultiMC launcher part will now exit cleanly when MultiMC crashes or is closed during instance launch
