v0.32.31

[0.32.31] - 2026-09-22

Fixed

• Every locale now has every UI string; nothing falls back to English any more. Added the dedicated-server console strings (header, command placeholder, Send, Status) to all 13 locales, and the skin browser, CurseForge onboarding dialog, CurseForge settings / Mods-page connect prompt and game-log tooltip (31 strings) to it, ko, nl, pl, tr and uk. Brand names, {0} placeholders, Minecraft console commands and the API-key mask are kept verbatim.
• Removed an em-dash from the Russian Force-offline tooltip.

v0.32.22

[0.32.22] - 2026-05-26

Changed

• Release page body now contains only the current version's CHANGELOG section plus GitHub's auto-generated "What's Changed" block (PR list since the previous tag + new contributors + diff link), instead of the entire CHANGELOG.md verbatim. The release.yml workflow extracts the matching ## [version] block via an awk pass and writes it to release_body.md, then passes body_path: release_body.md + generate_release_notes: true to softprops/action-gh-release. Past releases (v0.32.21 and earlier) still carry the dump; future tags pull only their own section.

[0.32.20] - 2026-05-26

Cumulative release covering twenty iterations on top of v0.31.0's localization wave. Highlights: the skin browser is now pluggable (MineSkin v2 replaces the retired NameMC scraper), Force-offline developer mode lands with full localization, the macOS release pipeline ships real .app + .dmg bundles for both architectures, a one-click Windows build drops a single self-extracting .exe at the repo root, dependabot is muzzled into grouped monthly PRs with auto-merge, and Linux CI is green again after a SkiaSharp native-package pin. First GitHub Release.

Added

• One-click Windows build: build.cmd at the repo root + scripts/build-release.ps1. Produces HyperionMinecraftLauncher.exe (~110 MB self-extracting single-file with IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true) plus outputs/HyperionMinecraftLauncher-<ver>-win-x64.zip byte-for-byte equivalent to the CI artefact.
• Force-offline developer toggle in Settings (Launcher preferences). When ON, every Play routes through AuthMode.Offline regardless of any cached Microsoft session. Adds a TEST-MODE badge next to the Username row. Backed by LauncherSettings.ForceOfflineMode with JSON round-trip tests, localized into all 14 shipped locales.
• MultiMC instance import: parses instance.cfg + mmc-pack.json from a MultiMC pack .zip or instance folder, materialises a Hyperion instance with the right loader pinned.
• Skin browser pivoted from NameMC (Cloudflare-blocked scraper, now retired) to MineSkin v2 API. Pagination (Prev/Next), Enter-to-search, minifigure-card previews, subtle card backgrounds, dynamic panel.
• Hybrid nickname-to-Mojang skin search: an exact-match query against a live player resolves via the Mojang profile API and is labelled as a live-player hit, not a community skin.
• System-JDK probe preferred over Adoptium download: probes JAVA_HOME and PATH for a major-version match before falling back to the managed Temurin cache, saving the ~180 MB cold download when the user already has the right JRE.
• macOS release pipeline ships real .app + .dmg for both osx-x64 and osx-arm64 via scripts/build-macos-app.sh + scripts/build-macos-dmg.sh. Bundles carry proper Info.plist, AppIcon.icns generated from the repo icon via sips + iconutil, and resx satellite assemblies under Contents/Resources/Localization/.
• Dependabot auto-merge workflow (.github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml). Non-major dependabot PRs squash-merge via gh pr merge --auto once branch-protection status checks turn green. Major bumps still require manual review.

Changed

• Account flyout binds to the real per-account skin head face (fetched + cached on first paint), replacing the universal Steve placeholder.
• Skin viewer rotates the full body on drag (was head-only), with proper pitch/yaw accumulation. Back-view supported.
• CurseForge errors are now friendly: 401, 403, 429 surface "Your CF API key is missing/wrong/rate-limited" instead of the raw HttpRequestException.
• Edit instance dialog: height 760, scrollable, icon panel centered with WrapPanel. Previously clipped on smaller screens.
• MainViewModel.IsSignedInOnline now also honors the Force-offline toggle, so the Username textbox unlocks and skin-write commands disable even when a Microsoft session is cached.
• Dependabot tamed: six NuGet groups (Avalonia / Microsoft.Extensions / auth-stack / SkiaSharp / test-stack / other), open-pull-requests-limit: 3 for NuGet and 1 for GitHub Actions, monthly schedule, ignore-list for cosmetic semver-minor/major bumps on the canonical actions/* stack. Security CVE bumps still flow unthrottled.
• GitHub Actions bumped to @v5 across both workflows (checkout, setup-dotnet, upload-artifact, download-artifact). Silences the Node.js 20 deprecation warning.
• CLI mode logger switched from the legacy FileLauncherLogger to SerilogLauncherLogger (same CLEF-format JSON, same log directory). Removes the obsolete-API warning at Program.cs:28.
• Release CI flatten step now includes *.dmg alongside *.zip, *.AppImage, *.tar.gz, so macOS installers actually reach the GitHub Releases page (previously they uploaded as workflow artefacts but were dropped at the release attach step).

Fixed

• macOS release zip used to bundle a raw self-contained publish tree instead of a real .app bundle, so Finder refused to treat the artefact as an application. Now wraps each .app produced by build-macos-app.sh in a Gatekeeper-friendly ZIP, plus a .dmg with the standard drag-to-/Applications symlink.
• Ubuntu CI was red because of a SkiaSharp version conflict: SkiaSharp 3.119.2 (managed) vs SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux 2.88.9 (transitive via MinecraftSkinRender -> Avalonia.Skia). The 2.88.9 native was winning the deploy race for runtimes/linux-x64/native/libSkiaSharp.so. Pinned SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux 3.119.2 as a direct reference so it overrides the transitive 2.88.9. Added LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the Ubuntu test step as defence-in-depth against dlopen falling through to the system /usr/lib/libSkiaSharp.so.88.
• FileLauncherLoggerTests.DefaultLogDirectory_Resolve_EndsWithHyperionLogs was hardcoded to the Windows tail <App>\logs and failed on Linux + macOS where the canonical layout is ~/Library/Logs/<App> (macOS) and ~/.local/state/<App> (Linux, XDG). Test now branches per-OS.
• MineSkin v2 returned 400 on page sizes above the anonymous API ceiling. Now capped at 128.
• Chromeless-window edge resize regressed when the brand icon was first wired in. Restored.
• Skin-browser pagination panel collapsed on narrow viewports. Now stays visible and adapts.
• 3D head defaulted to a 45-degree-rotated face rather than the canonical face-on view. Body cache also resets between skin loads so old textures stop bleeding through.
• CurseForge API key validation test had an off-by-one key length.

Notes

• 603 unit tests passing (was 602 at v0.31.0). CI green on Windows + macOS + Ubuntu.
• Tmds.DBus.Protocol 0.20.0 has a known high-severity advisory (NU1903); the vulnerable transitive comes from Avalonia 11.2.3 and a fix is expected once Avalonia bumps. Not exploitable in the launcher's usage (no DBus IPC).
• The Strings.ShowGameLogTooltip resx key is still missing from seven locales (ja, ko, nl, pl, tr, uk, it); they cascade to English. Tracked for a future localization pass.

[0.31.0] - 2026-05-18

Sixth wave of the v0.26 -> v0.31 parallel-agent sprint: full UI localization. The English source Strings.resx lives at src/HyperionMinecraftLauncher.App/Localization/; 7 translations ship alongside it for a total of 8 locales.

Added

• Core/Localization/ILocalizationService + ResxLocalizationService wrapping the standard ResourceManager family. Exposes this[key], Get(key, args), CurrentCulture, SetCultureAsync, LanguageChanged event, AvailableCultures.
• LauncherSettings.Locale (string?, default null = "use OS culture") persisted through the existing settings store.
• Settings page: "Language" card with a dropdown bound to AvailableLocales. First entry is "Use system default" (null).
• 289 user-facing strings extracted from MainWindow.axaml and every dialog into Strings.resx. Pattern: {x:Static loc:Strings.Section_Key}.
• New translations (each ~289 entries, full UI parity with English source):
  • Strings.ru.resx Russian
  • Strings.es.resx Spanish (neutral)
  • Strings.pt-BR.resx Brazilian Portuguese
  • Strings.de.resx German (informal "du")
  • Strings.fr.resx French (informal "tu", non-breaking space before colons)
  • Strings.zh-Hans.resx Simplified Chinese
  • Strings.ja.resx Japanese (です・ます polite plain)
• Localization/README.md contributor doc explaining where new strings go and how to add a culture.

Changed

• Test fixtures in MainViewModelTests force CurrentUICulture = en so log-text assertions stay deterministic on non-English dev machines.

[0.30.0] - 2026-05-18

Fifth wave: closing the Prism / MultiMC feature gap. Seven parallel agents shipped concurrent features.

Added

• Mod-loader installer (T21a). IModLoaderInstaller + CmlLibModLoaderInstaller dispatcher honours Fabric / Quilt (from CmlLib.Core directly), Forge (CmlLib.Core.Installer.Forge), and NeoForge (CmlLib.Core.Installer.NeoForge). IModLoaderVersionFetcher populates the dropdown on the New Instance dialog when a non-Vanilla chip is picked. On launch, the install runs before CmlLib's regular version install and substitutes the modded version-id into the LaunchRequest.
• Per-instance overrides (T21b). New EditInstanceDialog.axaml with General (Name + icon picker) and Java & memory (Min/Max RAM sliders, JVM args, game directory + Browse, window resolution NumericUpDowns) tabs. InstanceLaunchSettings.Merge(Instance, LauncherSettings) resolves per-instance > global; empty / 0 fields mean "inherit". Context-menu entry "Edit instance..." with the 3-layer auto-imported guard.
• Crash report parser (T21c). MinecraftCrashReportParser recognises both Forge pipe-table and Fabric hyphen-list mod blocks, ranks suspect mods by stacktrace frame, and surfaces Modrinth + CurseForge search URLs. New "Crashes" tab on instance detail with a per-suspect Modrinth / CurseForge button strip and an "Open folder" shortcut.
• Modpack import (T21d). IModpackImporter with ModrinthModpackImporter (.mrpack) and CurseForgeModpackImporter (.zip). Auto-detects format. Copies overrides/ tree, downloads each files[] entry, lays out a fresh Instance under LOCALAPPDATA/instances/{newId}/. UI: "Import modpack..." button on the Installations row + progress strip.
• Instance export / import (T21e...
