1.5.12

Fixes and improvements

Added

• NeoForge support 👀

Fixed

• Proxy settings not working correctly when set to socks5
• Artwork urls not working when a space is present in the url

1.5.11

Minor fixes

Fixed

• Made the admin warning on Overwolf a passive warning that will not show after opting to continue running the app in admin mode. We do not recommend ever running the FTB App on any simple in admin mode!

1.5.10

Speed! Needs more speeds!

Added

• A check on Windows / Overwolf to ensure the app is not being run as admin. This prevents incorrect file permissions being set on essential files

Changed

• Greatly improved the loading speed of the app startup. We plan on a lot more of these improvements, but this one alone has seen up to 3 times quicker startup times.
• Improved logging on Electron versions of the app
• Expanded the internal app log uploader to include more logs and more detailed information. This should reduce the reliance on our external debugger tool.

Fixed

• A long-standing issues causing MineTogether Logins to continually get logged out.
• Added a way to ensure the subprocess is already closed before attempting to start a new one. This only effects Overwolf, but should prevent the app sometimes having connection issues.
• Hopefully fixed the news page not loading on Overwolf...
• Rare installation issues caused by corrupted .etag files.

1.5.9

Launch page improvements, new font, and more!

Added

• We've updated the font to something a little more modern and readable. It might take a little getting used to, but we think you'll like it.
• You can now set the name of the instance before installing it! 🎉
• The launch page is now more readable when using light mode.
• The launch page now has an 'instance actions' modal that can be opened with the button next to 'kill instance'. This gives you access to the instance folders whilst the pack is running. A side note here is that we do plan to allow you to use the app whilst a pack is running, but there is a lot more work involved to get us to that point.

Changed

• The instance version modal has seen a bit of a facelift. It's now a little more compact and easier to read.
• You can now double-click the title bar to expand the window and restore it to its previous size. This should be more inline with native applications.

Fixed

• Modals now know about the ad sidebar and will offset themselves accordingly. If you pay for MineTogether and your ads are disabled, you won't see this change.
• A bunch of issues with the selection input not working properly.
• Some visual inconsistencies with input fields and labels
• More authentication issues with sessions timing out at weird times. We're still working on this one... It seems there is always something new to fix here.

1.5.6

1.5.6 (1.5.5 Hotfix)

All the fixes! General stability improvements of the app. This release is a fix release to the previous 1.5.5 version.

Added

• Added support for the Quilt modloader. No... We have no packs planned for quilt right now but this improves our support for CurseForge modpacks

Fixed

• Fixed instance backups attempting to save on install when the instance file does not exist
• Prevented long standing error from showing in the app when starting a pack. This error was caused by Minecraft Telemetry
• Hopefully fixed most of the issues related to asset validation
• Resolved issues with the instance.json corrupting and failing to load. We now store a backup (.bak) file to fallback onto if for what ever reason the original fails to be read
• Prevented non-directory's from being read as instances if they're within the instances folder
• Improved instance deletion stability

1.5.5

All the fixes! General stability improvements of the app

1.5.4

Microsoft authentication overhaul! (Microsoft authentication: Chuckles... I'm in danger)

Added

• Small improvement to the log screen when starting a pack, it's now got pretty colours! 🌈 it's much easier to see errors, warning and normal information on each line.

Changed

• We no longer rerun the forge installer if nothing has changed on an update of the modpack. This means quicker updates :D

Fixed

• Completely rewrote the authentication system for Microsoft Logins. This comes with a bunch of things but the main ones being:\n- Much better feedback to the user on why a login failed. All known issues now have documentation and solutions written up and presented to you in a readable way.\n- Proper redirects to re-login if we're no longer able to refresh your account details... This normally happens when your Microsoft account changes in 'some' way.\n- Improved loading UI\n- We now show a link you can copy instead of a button you can click when links aren't opening browsers properly... that't was a bit of a 🤦‍♀️ moment...\n- No more 'Login failed' but not providing a reason.
• Small spelling error on the install modal. Thanks @FredeEB (#896)

1.5.3

Windows Java Update, really small update to resolve a rare error causing the app to not start

Changed

• Updated the Java Version used for the App's subprocess to a newer version to resolve a rare windows fatal error when starting the app

1.5.2

Better error catching

Changed

• Updated some log messages for better debugging of authentication issues

Fixed

• An issue causing crashes to not be caught properly by our subprocess
• Duplicate instances causing load issues

1.5.1

All the fixes! 🐞 🔨

Added

• A new news page layout to improve the visibility of information
• Improved login flow for the Overwolf version of the app
• A greatly improved fallback system for DNS over HTTPS, this is intended to improve overall connectivity to the FTB services regardless of the type of network setup you have on your router or on your pc

Changed

• Settings resolution now used a new layout, which should improve usability
• The entire system behind how instances are handled has had a complete rewrite, meaning the instances should be much more consistent and less error-prone

Fixed

• An issue causing the Changelog not to show on a slow start of the app
• Issues with the proxy settings not applying correctly

Removed

• A bunch of dead and unused code which should make the overall app a bit smaller
