Discovery Launcher - Change Log - Alex. - 01-07-2019

Current Launcher Version: 2.1.3


This thread contains patch notes for the Discovery Launcher. Do not post in this thread if you have issues or suggestions. Please make a separate thread within this subforum. Please note this thread may sometimes be updated slightly before the patch goes live, due to how the launcher handles importing the changelogs.

3rd of Feb 2019 - 2.1.0
Remember there is a bug report/feature request thread in the Launcher Subforum. Use that for your reports.

Under the hood:
- Major code refactoring.
- Reworked the exception handler. (Please see the Error Codes thread for the updated codes)
- Reworked how both the config file and account files are loaded and saved.
- I made a reusable popup system to display important announcements.

What you'll see:
- You can now search by account name.
- The launcher now patches itself again.
- You can now resize columns.
- There are now automatic patch notes that display every time the launcher has been updated.
- Removed the web-based context menu from the announcements tab.
- You can now sort accounts by holding down an account for one second, and then dragging it below another account. (This must be done while working with unfiltered accounts).

Bug Fixes:
- The edit form doesn't crash as often.
- The launcher no longer cites corruption when switching between quick accounts in different categories.
- Attempted to remove the large lag spikes some users were getting during launch, cannot say for certain if it worked, but it's definitely faster overall.

6th of Feb 2019 - 2.1.1
Remember there is a bug report/feature request thread in the Launcher Subforum. Use that for your reports.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed favourite accounts being marked the inverse of what they actually are.
- Fixed accounts being randomly thrown about and sorted against the user's will.
- Fixed sorting by favourite accounts crashing in some instances (I think, I couldn't reproduce it on my machine, but I changed some of the logic, so hopefully it works)

Other:
- Redesigned the self patching utility so hopefully not as many people have issues with patching their launcher.
