#MultiMC 0.4.8
|
|
|
|
Fluffy and functional.
|
|
|
|
## Functional changes
|
|
- GH-990: Classloading in the MultiMC java launcher part is no longer crazy
|
|
|
|
This removes some really bad old code and paves the way for more improvements later.
|
|
If you run into any issues with Minecraft launching that weren't in **0.4.7**, please report bugs.
|
|
|
|
#Previous releases
|
|
|
|
##0.4.7
|
|
|
|
This is what 0.4.6 should have been. Oh well, at least it's here now!
|
|
|
|
###Functional changes
|
|
- GH-974: A copy of the libstdc++ library is now included in linux releases, improving compatibility
|
|
- GH-985: Jar mods are now movable and removable after adding
|
|
- GH-983: Use 'minecraft.jar' as the main jar when using jar mods - fixes NEI in Legacy Minecraft versions
|
|
- GH-977: Fix FTB paths on Windows
|
|
|
|
This removes some very old compatibility code. If you get any issues, make sure you run the FTB Launcher and let it update its files.
|
|
- GH-992 and GH-1003: Improved performance when saving settings:
|
|
- Bad performance was caused by improved data consistency
|
|
- Each config file is now saved only once, not once for every setting
|
|
- When loading FTB instances, there are no writes to config files anymore
|
|
- GH-991: Implemented wrapper command functionality:
|
|
|
|
There is an extra field in the MultiMC Java settings that allows running Java inside a wrapper program or script. This means you can run Minecraft with wrappers like `optirun` and get better performance with hybrid graphics on linux without workarounds.
|
|
- GH-997: Fixed saving of multi-line settings. This fixes notes.
|
|
- GH-967: It is now possible to add patches (Forge and LiteLoader) to tracked FTB instances properly.
|
|
|
|
Libraries added by the patches will be taken from MultiMC's `libraries` folder, while the tracked patches will use FTB's folders.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1011 and GH-1015: Fixed various issues when the patch versions aren't complete
|
|
|
|
This applies when Minecraft versions are missing or when patches are broken and the profile is manipulated by adding, moving, removing, customizing and reverting patches.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1021: Builtin legacy Minecraft versions aren't customizable anymore
|
|
|
|
The internal format for Legacy Minecraft versions does not translate to the external patch format and would cause crashes
|
|
- GH-1016: MultiMC prints a list of mods, coremods (contents of the coremods folder) and jar mods to the log on instance start. This should help with troubleshooting.
|
|
- GH-1031: Icons are exported and imported along with instances
|
|
|
|
This only applies if the icon was custom (not built-in) when exporting and the user doesn't choose an icon while importing the pack.
|
|
|
|
###UI changes
|
|
- GH-970: Fixed help button for the External tools and Accounts dialog pages not linking to the proper wiki places
|
|
- Same for the Versions dialog page
|
|
|
|
- GH-994: Rearranged the buttons on the Versions page to make jar mods less prominent
|
|
|
|
Using the `Add jar mods` button will also show a nag dialog until it's been used successfully
|
|
|
|
##0.4.6
|
|
|
|
Long time coming, this release brought a lot of incremental improvements and fixes.
|
|
|
|
###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 temporary 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
|
|
- SSL certificates are fixed on OSX 10.10.3 and newer - see [explanation](http://www.infoworld.com/article/2911209/mac-os-x/yosemite-10103-breaks-some-applications-and-https-sites.html).
|
|
|
|
###UI changes

|
- All version lists now include latest and recommended versions - recommended are pre-selected

|
|

|

|
|
- Description text in the main window status bar now updates when Minecraft version is changed
