NeoLauncher 12.0.2-develop

NeoLauncher 12.0.2-develop

Bugfix prerelease after the 12.0.1 integration work.

Fixes

• Neo Dashboard no longer flashes a healthy toolbar count while a scan is still running, and no longer starts a new Doctor scan on every instance-model update;
• missing instance folders are counted once;
• disk-space checks are skipped when the instance path is not a usable directory;
• Neo Doctor now inspects enabled/disabled mods in the instance mods folder;
• Neo Optimizer recommendations are shown as translated text instead of raw IDs;
• suggesting the default instance icon after a pack icon no longer keeps the pack artwork;
• Doctor status texts survive language changes (Idle / Analyzing / Success / Problems / Failed).

NeoLauncher 12.0.1-develop

NeoLauncher 12.0.1-develop

Debian-family development prerelease focused on Linux desktop integration and Neo UX correctness.

Changes

• installs matching hicolor SVG and 256×256 PNG application icons for Linux Mint/Cinnamon menu compatibility;
• makes Neo Dashboard a hidden-by-default, persistent dock with toolbar/View toggles and important-issue indication;
• adds the internal NeoLauncher default instance icon while preserving explicit Prism, imported, and custom icon keys;
• adds explicit Neo Doctor Idle/Analyzing/Success/Problems/Failed behavior, visible progress, retry, and concurrency protection;
• improves selection and action feedback across Neo health, snapshots, mod profiles, sync, and server profiles;
• removes mandatory Microsoft sign-in for launcher management, local account creation, and explicit offline launch while preserving authentication requirements for online services;
• expands automated coverage to 36 tests, including installed desktop assets and Cinnamon-compatible icon lookup contracts.

Platform

NeoLauncher remains supported only on Debian-derived Linux distributions. This prerelease provides a native .deb; no AppImage artifact is produced.

Package

• Debian package for amd64
• Built against the Ubuntu 24.04 / Linux Mint 22 ABI baseline
• Bubblewrap is a required dependency for external extension execution
• SHA-256: 63c94b7373b519b0a994fd5bc4d376c5cbcd14dcabf1a13eff91f2697b0c6e94

Older Debian-derived releases may require a package rebuilt on an older ABI baseline.
