2.0.995 (Windows) or 2.0.996 (macOS) is an update to the launcher released on October 25, 2017.

Changes

• The .json file for versions in the versions folder was changed
  • The previous property minecraftArguments, which was at the end of the file, was changed to arguments at the beginning of the file.
    • The new property no longer contains call parameters as text lines. Instead it is no longer a text, but an object, which contains every call parameter as sub-property.
    • Now contains rules for the demo mode.
    • Now contains new platform independent rules for Java, along with an option to change the screen resolution.
