New Welcome window

The welcome window has been totally redesigned, with a new side bar menu which follows the global application style !
The last workspace list has been also greatly improved, with an integrated button directly on each entry to remove a workspace from the list.
And to open one of the workspaces, simply click on it !

New Assistant Creator

To bring support to NeoForge, it was necessary to rework the Assistant Creator.
For memory, this wizard was the first functionality which have been developed for Forge Modding Helper 3, so its code was complicated to maintain, and this is a problem to add support for a new modding API.
The new Assistant Creator is entierly modulable and more user friendly, with most of the pages and inputs redesigned !
Don't wait to test it ! You will discover a new way to create quickly your workspaces !

New existing project importation window

Adding NeoForge support have required to rework the existing project importation process.
I took the opportunity to completely rework the associated window !

Improved sidebar menu for the Project Explorer

If you go into the Project Explorer, you will see a new button on the top of the sidebar.
This button allows you to toggle the size of the menu : you can now have a compact version of this menu, or keep the historical size !

Updated supported Minecraft versions list

With the new release strategy of Mojang, we probably stay in 1.21.X cycle for a moment.
But each subversions of this serie still substantial, so keep 1.19 support make no sense anymore.
This is why this version drops support for Minecraft Forge 1.19, 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.19.4.
But its add support for Minecraft Forge 1.21.5 and 1.21.8, in addition of supported NeoForge versions.

Improved theme system

Specify all colors in a theme file is not required anymore.
You can now only specify colors which you want to changes. The other colors keep theses by default, those of the dark theme.
In addition of that, new colors can be defined, such as colors for the new button used in the project.

.Net 8 is now required

You need to have .Net 8 or latest to use Forge Modding Helper
