1.11.0-beta

Comparison of patches and installer choices now takes place during collection installation. Vortex now compares the options the user selected for the currently installed mod against those packaged by the curator of the collection they are downloading.

We've put in a lot of work to make the File-Based Load Ordering more performant in the core app with a lot of the feedback coming from the Baldur's Gate 3 community. We've had to wait to push the game extension update until the core was ready but we now have a more performant load ordering, PAK file reading, caching etc. Along with these changes, collection installations are now quicker because of it.

Our update workflow has been overhauled with rewritten notifications, added info dialogs when swapping update channels as well as turned off force download of updates (unless they are hotfixes and need to be pushed out for security\stability reasons).

All of these changes have been tested in house for several weeks but still may not be perfect - it is a beta after all! As soon as these updates are confirmed to be stable then this update go out to everyone.
