Azuria 0.2.171

Azuria Studios branding

• Identify Azuria Studios as the developer and maintainer on the website, in setup and in the README.
• Update the website terms and both privacy-policy copies to describe Azuria Studios as the project operator’s trading name.

First-install privacy and automatic updates

• Keep automatic updates passive or silent without requesting privacy acceptance, including legacy installations without an acknowledgement record.
• Require the offline privacy checkbox only on first installation; existing manual upgrades and reinstalls do not ask again when a prior acknowledgement or installed application is present.
• Simplify the privacy policy around information, purposes, providers, retention and user rights. Remove setup implementation details and clarify that acknowledgement does not enable tracking.

Branded Windows setup and privacy acknowledgement

• Add Azuria artwork, installer icons and clearer native welcome/finish pages to Windows setup.
• Include an offline privacy policy with an unchecked mandatory acceptance box before installation can continue.
• Record the accepted policy fingerprint locally only after successful installation. Require acknowledgement on first installation; reject a silent first installation without acknowledgement.
• Preserve signed update packaging and upstream installation/uninstallation handling, with native Windows acceptance checks in CI.

Settings, privacy and desktop behaviour

• Add functional privacy preferences, OLED appearance, a pinned version footer and readable settings rows. Save and Reset appear only for pending edits in a floating action bar.
• Detect physical RAM for Minecraft allocation, including systems above 64 GiB. Limit concurrent asset downloads to a 1–10 slider, preserving older preferences with a reduced cap.
• Show running instance names with Stop and Open logs actions, and display a startup loading screen while the library opens.
• Keep the Windows launcher in the system tray when the window closes, retaining live game monitoring and safe explicit quitting.
• Display measured storage in a segmented bar with a compact horizontal legend.
• Move CurseForge API credentials out of app settings into a private, publisher-deployed Cloudflare Worker. Deployment and repository-secret setup are required before CurseForge is available in new builds.

Behaviour settings and Discord activity

• Enable saved Behaviour preferences for minimising after Minecraft starts, refocusing after the last game closes, hiding the right sidebar and compact library defaults, with Save and Reset.
• Add optional Windows Discord Rich Presence showing generic Playing Minecraft activity only while the game runs. Clear activity on exit or opt-out; missing Discord never blocks launching.
• Document the public Discord Application ID build setting and disclose the limited activity data shared with Discord.

Consistent text fields

• Theme text, password, numeric and multiline fields consistently across launcher popups, including storage preferences, provider keys and content installation.
• Align Java and window settings with the shared field styling, with readable placeholders, disabled and read-only states, themed autofill and visible keyboard focus.
• Preserve icon-led search layouts and give log search a clearer themed input frame.

Storage resources

• Add real background storage measurements with per-instance categories, shared game files, runtimes, logs, screenshots, skins and trash. Hard-linked files are counted once.
• Preview and confirm cleanup of abandoned staging downloads older than 24 hours, with stale-file checks and protection while Minecraft or content downloads are active.
• Save or reset unused-download retention and Minecraft asset download concurrency in Settings → Storage. The retention limit applies when cleanup is run; worlds, installed content, shared files, runtimes and trash are kept.
• Open the actual Azuria app directory directly from Storage settings.

Instance log console

• Refine instance logs with a compact toolbar, search, severity filters and readable coloured output.
• Add copy and export for visible lines, display-only clearing, wrapping and auto-scroll that pauses while reading older output.
• Keep live polling and credential filtering, with accessible controls and light-theme colours.

Public release distribution

• Move signed updates, downloads and the public website to azuria-releases so source access can be restricted without requiring users to authenticate.
• Preserve release numbering, updater signatures and a temporary bridge for existing installations.

Changes

• Kept additional content directly on the instance page with All/Mods/Resource packs filters, sorting, uploads, Discover browsing, selection actions and a compact project/version/actions table.

• View content now opens a centred, searchable pack-content popup instead of replacing the additional-content list.

• Added a version switcher with compatible provider version names, dates, Release/Beta/Alpha badges and on-demand changelogs. Selecting a version prepares a reviewed update or repair; no files change just by browsing versions.

• Simplified instance and content actions with icon buttons, accessible names/tooltips and overflow menus.

• Added an explicitly enabled website-only AdSense snippet slot at website/src/adsense.html, plus publisher setup and private-key storage instructions. Advertising remains off by default and is not loaded by the Windows launcher.

• Added real project artwork and dedicated Description, Versions and Gallery pages using provider metadata, with sanitised rich descriptions and shared installation review.

• Instance content shows recognised project icons and names. Modpack instances separate pack-managed files from additional content and show the installed pack version.

• Added compatible stable update checks and missing-pack-file repair. Updates stage verified files, preserve edited configuration, worlds and added content, and back up replaced files. Interrupted publication restores backups; modified archives stop with a conflict.

• Added batch Modrinth hash identification for local imports and pack files, plus provider metadata for managed CurseForge content. Vanilla instances no longer display or open a Mods section.

• Refined install notifications with a compact, single-line Cancel install action.

• Connected Discover to live Modrinth and CurseForge search for mods, modpacks, datapacks and resource packs, retaining the right-hand filter sidebar.

• Added compatible version selection, a review step, required dependencies, cancellable downloads, hash verification and recovery of interrupted content installs. Different existing files are preserved on conflict.

• Modpacks create new Vanilla/Fabric instances and prepare game files without launching Minecraft. Datapacks install into a selected existing world. Unsupported loaders, external Modrinth pack hosts and restricted provider downloads report clear errors.

• Added CurseForge API key setup under Settings → Content providers with shared Save/Reset controls and native Windows Credential Manager storage. Approved CurseForge API access is required; Modrinth needs no key.

• Fixed Fabric Stable/Latest selections being sent as literal version strings. New instances save concrete versions; existing preferences resolve and pin on the next preparation attempt.

• Added support for Minecraft 26.1 Fabric profiles, which no longer include intermediary mappings. Older Minecraft profiles retain mapping validation.

• Creating a Vanilla or Fabric instance now downloads and verifies the required game files, libraries, assets and Java without opening Minecraft or requiring sign-in. Play reuses those files and verifies the account only before starting the game.

• Added download progress, Stop, Resume/Retry download and a ready state. Failed or cancelled downloads retain the instance and verified cache for retry.

• Added Windows Fabric launching using the selected Minecraft and pinned Fabric loader version. Quilt, Forge and NeoForge remain coming soon.

• Fabric preparation merges official loader libraries and arguments with Mojang game metadata, verifies library checksums, and caches profiles by version pair. Existing Java/memory overrides, account verification, live logs and Play/Stop controls are reused.

• Cancelling preparation preserves verified downloads for retry. Changing the loader version prepares a separate profile without removing instance content. Fabric API and mods are installed separately.

• Replaced the settings page with a centred, category-based popup that keeps your current screen behind it.

• Added a fixed Save/Reset footer, shared pending edits across categories, validation and an unsaved-change prompt. Reset restores the last saved values.

• Reorganised appearance, account, Java/memory, window, storage and update settings. Planned features are clearly labelled Coming soon.

• Rebuilt the skin selector around a large rotatable character preview and saved-skin cards, retaining Azuria’s current colours and interface.

• Added local skin saving, PNG picking and drag-and-drop, hover/keyboard Edit and Remove actions, and an editor with Classic/Slim arms and owned cape selection.

• Saved skins remain under %APPDATA%\AzuriaLauncher\skins, with bounded storage and a recovery backup. Saving locally and applying to the Minecraft account are separate actions.

• Skin/cape application refreshes account appearance after partial service failures and reports what needs retrying.

• Matched the instance Screenshots link to the other section controls, including its camera icon.

• Fixed sidebar selection so Library and individual instances highlight only on their own pages.

• Added a square advertisement placeholder anchored within the bottom-right Library sidebar. It contains no adver...

No storage migration is required. Cosmetics require a verified Minecraft Java account and Minecraft Services access. Skin/cape changes and real gameplay must be checked with an owned account on Windows; automated interface tests use mocked native responses.

• Added a version switcher with compatible provider version names, dates, Release/Beta/Alpha badges and on-demand changelogs. Selecting a version prepares a reviewed update or repair; no files change just by browsing versions.

• Simplified instance and content actions with icon buttons, accessible names/tooltips and overflow menus.

• Added an explicitly enabled website-only AdSense snippet slot at website/src/adsense.html, plus publisher setup and private-key storage instructions. Advertising remains off by default and is not loaded by the Windows launcher.

• Added real project artwork and dedicated Description, Versions and Gallery pages using provider metadata, with sanitised rich descriptions and shared installation review.

• Instance content shows recognised project icons and names. Modpack instances separate pack-managed files from additional content and show the installed pack version.

• Added compatible stable update checks and missing-pack-file repair. Updates stage verified files, preserve edited configuration, worlds and added content, and back up replaced files. Interrupted publication restores backups; modified archives stop with a conflict.

• Added batch Modrinth hash identification for local imports and pack files, plus provider metadata for managed CurseForge content. Vanilla instances no longer display or open a Mods section.

• Refined install notifications with a compact, single-line Cancel install action.

• Connected Discover to live Modrinth and CurseForge search for mods, modpacks, datapacks and resource packs, retaining the right-hand filter sidebar.

• Added compatible version selection, a review step, required dependencies, cancellable downloads, hash verification and recovery of interrupted content installs. Different existing files are preserved on conflict.

• Modpacks create new Vanilla/Fabric instances and prepare game files without launching Minecraft. Datapacks install into a selected existing world. Unsupported loaders, external Modrinth pack hosts and restricted provider downloads report clear errors.

• Added CurseForge API key setup under Settings → Content providers with shared Save/Reset controls and native Windows Credential Manager storage. Approved CurseForge API access is required; Modrinth needs no key.

• Fixed Fabric Stable/Latest selections being sent as literal version strings. New instances save concrete versions; existing preferences resolve and pin on the next preparation attempt.

• Added support for Minecraft 26.1 Fabric profiles, which no longer include intermediary mappings. Older Minecraft profiles retain mapping validation.

• Creating a Vanilla or Fabric instance now downloads and verifies the required game files, libraries, assets and Java without opening Minecraft or requiring sign-in. Play reuses those files and verifies the account only before starting the game.

• Added download progress, Stop, Resume/Retry download and a ready state. Failed or cancelled downloads retain the instance and verified cache for retry.

• Added Windows Fabric launching using the selected Minecraft and pinned Fabric loader version. Quilt, Forge and NeoForge remain coming soon.

• Fabric preparation merges official loader libraries and arguments with Mojang game metadata, verifies library checksums, and caches profiles by version pair. Existing Java/memory overrides, account verification, live logs and Play/Stop controls are reused.

• Cancelling preparation preserves verified downloads for retry. Changing the loader version prepares a separate profile without removing instance content. Fabric API and mods are installed separately.

• Replaced the settings page with a centred, category-based popup that keeps your current screen behind it.

• Added a fixed Save/Reset footer, shared pending edits across categories, validation and an unsaved-change prompt. Reset restores the last saved values.

• Reorganised appearance, account, Java/memory, window, storage and update settings. Planned features are clearly labelled Coming soon.

• Rebuilt the skin selector around a large rotatable character preview and saved-skin cards, retaining Azuria’s current colours and interface.

• Added local skin saving, PNG picking and drag-and-drop, hover/keyboard Edit and Remove actions, and an editor with Classic/Slim arms and owned cape selection.

• Saved skins remain under %APPDATA%\AzuriaLauncher\skins, with bounded storage and a recovery backup. Saving locally and applying to the Minecraft account are separate actions.

• Skin/cape application refreshes account appearance after partial service failures and reports what needs retrying.

• Matched the instance Screenshots link to the other section controls, including its camera icon.

• Fixed sidebar selection so Library and individual instances highlight only on their own pages.

• Added a square advertisement placeholder anchored within the bottom-right Library sidebar. It contains no advertising scripts or network requests.

• Replaced cape texture sheets with angled previews of the actual cape faces and edges.

• Added a Minecraft skin and cape manager: preview your skin, upload Classic/Slim PNGs, reset it, and equip or hide owned capes.

• Show the signed-in player’s skin head in the account sidebar and navigation.

• Added a screenshot gallery with instance filtering, full previews, PNG export, folder access and recoverable removal to Azuria’s trash.

• Instance Logs refresh every second, with log selection, pause and follow-output controls.

• Play becomes Stop as soon as preparation starts. Stop cancels preparation or terminates the owned Minecraft process; stopping a running game warns about unsaved changes.

• Simplified launch feedback while retaining actionable errors and crash details.

No storage migration is required. Cosmetics require a verified Minecraft Java account and Minecraft Services access. Skin/cape changes and real gameplay must be checked with an owned account on Windows; automated interface tests use mocked native responses.

Azuria 0.2.154

Behaviour settings and Discord activity

• Enable saved Behaviour preferences for minimising after Minecraft starts, refocusing after the last game closes, hiding the right sidebar and compact library defaults, with Save and Reset.
• Add optional Windows Discord Rich Presence showing generic Playing Minecraft activity only while the game runs. Clear activity on exit or opt-out; missing Discord never blocks launching.

• Open the actual Azuria app directory directly from Storage settings.

Instance log console

• Refine instance logs with a compact toolbar, search, severity filters and readable coloured output.
• Add copy and export for visible lines, display-only clearing, wrapping and auto-scroll that pauses while reading older output.

Public release distribution

• Move signed updates, downloads and the public website to azuria-releases so source access can be restricted without requiring users to authenticate.

• Cancelling preparation preserves verified downloads for retry. Changing the loader version prepares a separate profile without removing instance content. Fabric API and mods are installed separately.

• Replaced the settings page with a centred, category-based popup that keeps your current screen behind it.

• Added a fixed Save/Reset footer, shared pending edits across categories, validation and an unsaved-change prompt. Reset restores the last saved values.

• Reorganised appearance, account, Java/memory, window, storage and update settings. Planned features are clearly labelled Coming soon.

• Rebuilt the skin selector around a large rotatable character preview and saved-skin cards, retaining Azuria’s current colours and interface.

• Added local skin saving, PNG picking and drag-and-drop, hover/keyboard Edit and Remove actions, and an editor with Classic/Slim arms and owned cape selection.

• Saved skins remain under %APPDATA%\AzuriaLauncher\skins, with bounded storage and a recovery backup. Saving locally and applying to the Minecraft account are separate actions.

• Skin/cape application refreshes account appearance after partial service failures and reports what needs retrying.

• Matched the instance Screenshots link to the other section controls, including its camera icon.

• Fixed sidebar selection so Library and individual instances highlight only on their own pages.

• Added a square advertisement placeholder anchored within the bottom-right Library sidebar. It contains no advertising scripts or network requests.

• Replaced cape texture sheets with angled previews of the actual cape faces and edges.

• Added a Minecraft skin and cape manager: preview your skin, upload Classic/Slim PNGs, reset it, and equip or hide owned capes.

• Show the signed-in player’s skin head in the account sidebar and navigation.

• Added a screenshot gallery with instance filtering, full previews, PNG export, folder access and recoverable removal to Azuria’s trash.

• Instance Logs refresh every second, with log selection, pause and follow-output controls.

• Play becomes Stop as soon as preparation starts. Stop cancels preparation or terminates the owned Minecraft process; stopping a running game warns about unsaved changes.

• Simplified launch feedback while retaining actionable errors and crash details.

No storage migration is required. Cosmetics require a verified Minecraft Java account and Minecraft Services access. Skin/cape changes and real gameplay must be checked with an owned account on Windows; automated interface tests use mocked native responses.
