Alloy v0.2.1

Fixes from the first days of 0.2. Installs as a one-click update from 0.2.0 or 0.1.0.

• Player heads show again. Mojang hands out skin links as http://, which the app may
  not load, so Microsoft accounts showed an empty square. Heads now load over HTTPS and are
  drawn the way the game draws them (old 64x32 skins with a solid hat layer included). An
  account whose skin can't load shows its initial instead of nothing.
• Downloads show progress on slow connections. Modpack files and mods now report every
  byte instead of jumping once a whole file is done, with amounts and time left in the
  downloads panel, a percentage on the install button and the Play button, and a "Show"
  button on the "Installing" notice that opens the panel.
• New Fabric and Quilt instances come with Fabric API, the build made for that
  Minecraft version, shown in the New instance dialog with a box to leave it out.
• The right loader version for each Minecraft version. Forge now gets Forge's own
  recommended build for each version (14.23.5.2859 on 1.12.2, where the newest build is 2864). The dialog
  explains that Fabric Loader is one version for every Minecraft release and Fabric API is
  the part that changes. Versions Fabric doesn't support (1.12.2) now say so instead of
  showing an empty picker.
• Release builds keep their own build cache, so the Windows build no longer compiles
  everything from scratch.

Install (Windows)

Download the -setup.exe and run it. It installs for your user, no admin prompt. The installer
isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn: More info → Run anyway.

Install (Linux)

Download the .AppImage, make it executable (chmod +x) and run it. Arch users can also build
the package from packaging/arch.
