When version 0.8.6 was released it was not mentioned anywhere that this would break compatibility with IR jars from previous versions, resulting in a crash with no feedback as to what went wrong. This adds backwards compatibility for pre-0.8.6 IR jars as nothing has actually changed between the two versions except the method signatures and the inclusion of a wrapper object IR login can try the 0.8.6 login method before softly falling back to the pre-0.8.6 case in MainController without needing to break any existing behaviour.
