Additions

• Added --disableGPU and --debugGPU command line flags.
  • --disableGPU disables GPU acceleration when running Minecraft
  • --debugGPU shows a window that gives information about the current display settings, which might be useful for troubleshooting and debugging purposes
• Added a Manage Profile menu item (if Minecraft: Java Edition is owned) that redirects to the user's profile page at the Minecraft Website.
  • It should also make it easier to manage the user's Minecraft Profile (such as changing name) if using a Microsoft Account.

Changes

• MSA sign in window will now automatically be closed when the main launcher window is closed.
• Tweaked the search bar in installations to look the same as on other pages. The button to add a new installation has moved down a bit.
• Improved the login screen for languages that have long text strings.
• Highlighted notes are now only shown in a timed interval. "Two games, one Launcher" is thus no longer shown.
• Hidden at the end of the official release notes is a message reading "ᔑ ̇/𝙹ꖎ𝙹ℸ ̣ ꖎᓭ ᔑ∷ᒷ リ𝙹ℸ ̣  ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ|| ᓭᒷᒷᒲ", directly translating to "Axolotls are not what they seem".

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the launcher would lose track of the Dungeons installation and ask for a fresh installation when data already exists on the disk.
• Fixed an issue where the installation button for dungeons could become unresponsive.
• Fixed an issue where Pause and Cancel buttons may be missing after uninstalling and then reinstalling Minecraft Dungeons.
• MCL-17216 - Window insides keeps shrinking now its transparent.
• MCL-16924 - Page change animation is not played after switching between Settings tabs for the first time.
• MCL-17255 - .minecraft can no longer be a symlink.
