v1.1.8
Onyx Release v1.1.8 🚀

We are excited to present a major update to Onyx! This release introduces a fully immersive game launch experience, implements robust network traffic governors for modpack installations, and brings a beautiful, interactive release notes previewer directly into the launcher's update workflow.

What's New ✨

Interactive Release Notes Viewer: Added a "What's new?" link to the update banner that opens a sleek, scrollable modal window. This modal fetches the release changelog directly from the GitHub API in real time and renders native, beautifully styled Markdown with support for copy-paste selection.
Launch Status UI & "Cute" Log Ticker: Redesigned the instance launch flow with premium visuals. While Minecraft is starting, the instance card now displays a dynamic spinning logo, a pulsing background glow, and a scrolling status ticker showing funny, localized Minecraft tasks (e.g., "Dusting off the redstone...", "Teaching villagers fair trades...").
UI & Design Adjustments 🎨

Unified Animated Close Buttons: Refactored and generalized the launcher's custom AnimatedCloseButton. Both the update banner and the release notes sheet now feature unified interactive close crosses with physics-based spring animations and a smooth 90° hover rotation.
Instance Card Redesign: Rewrote the InstanceCardView layout to seamlessly transition from idle states to the active launch screen, keeping the interface feeling cohesive and alive.
Under the Hood & Optimization ⚙️

Modpack Download Concurrency Throttling: Optimized the ModpackInstaller by implementing a concurrent queue governor that limits mod downloads to a maximum of 6 parallel tasks. This prevents socket timeouts, rate limits, and network connection drops on both Modrinth (.mrpack) and CurseForge (.zip) installations.
Strict Concurrency & Race-Condition Guarding: Integrated active task cancellation (fetchNotesTask) into the UpdateService to ensure overlapping update checks or banner dismissals immediately cancel active HTTP requests and never corrupt UI states.
HTML Sanitizer for Fallbacks: Implemented a robust HTML tag stripper that processes raw appcast descriptions (e.g., converting
tags to newlines,

  • to bullets, and decoding HTML entities) to keep release notes readable even when offline or rate-limited by GitHub.
    Multi-Language Translation: Fully localized the new update prompts into English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, and Polish.
