Changes

• Added transitions between all pages in the Launcher. To prevent motion sickness you can enable (and disable) transitions under settings. Transitions come disabled by default.
• The filter for historical versions has moved in under settings.
• Patch notes content is now locally cached, in case you lose internet connection and want to read it again

Trivia

• In the changes section, it contained the text "¿dn ǝpᴉs-ʇɥƃᴉɹ uʍoɥs uǝɥʇ sᴉɥʇ sᴉ 'uʍop ǝpᴉsdn oʇ ǝƃɐnƃuɐl ǝƃuɐɥɔ noʎ ɟI" as an Easter Egg, which says "If you change language to upside down, is this then shown right-side up?".

Fixes

• Login toast message now respects account migration dates.
• MCL-16797 - Sculk sensor changes in 21w05a patch notes are not properly formatted.
• MCL-15385 - Immediate crash on run Debian.
