1.7.10 - 2.7

Here's (hopefully) the last update before 3.0.

New features

• Added support for HTTP proxies, this might fix issues with VPNs getting ignored (courtesy of @GlodBlock)
• Added an option to ignore the HTTPS certificate check, for launchers which may break the certificates list somehow (courtesy of @DrParadox7)

Feature changes and fixes

• Reworked the retry system for failed downloads, now allows a configurable amount of retries.

Technical changes

• A few changes and cleanups in the codebase
• Bumped version number to 2.7

1.7.10 - 2.6

Here is a small update before 3.0 to fix compatibility issues with custom main menus from mods.

Feature changes and fixes

• Fixed the mod not working with certain mods loaded
• Rewrote the main menu GUI detection code to be cleaner and more stable
• Removed the gui class path config (since it's no longer needed)

Technical changes

• Refactored some code internally to prepare for 3.0
• Bumped the version number to 2.6
• Updated the Zip4J library to 2.11.5

1.7.10 - 2.5

Here is a surprise update before christmas :D
Most of the additions were done by @DrParadox7 on Github via a pull request.

Feature changes and fixes

• Added sided overrides, you can now create a client-overrides or a server-overrides folder that contains files to override only when on a specific side. (This feature was initially planned for 3.0)
• The server will now shutdown correctly after the mcinstance file has been installed or when the installation has failed.
• Fixed the mod deleting subfolders in the mods folder, as it thought those were always empty.
• Reworked the logs when on a server, servers now clearly see when a mod gets downloaded and that the server restarts and doesn't crash.

Technical changes

• Bumped the version number to 2.5
• IOExceptions from the WebHelper class will also print their stack trace
• IOExceptions from the FileHelper class won't get printed twice anymore

1.7.10 - 2.4

Feature changes and fixes

• The info screen no longer can be exited of by pressing escape (the timer would've caused issues anyways)
• Fixed the mod overwriting folders (and deleting the files it could)
• Fixed the mod adding resources from the wrong side to the download list
• Fixed the mod not using the URL given by the curseforge API if the generated URL is invalid.
• Fixed the mod not ignoring invalid properties in the optional.packconfig file.

Technical changes

• The FileHelper.copy method will now overwrite an existing file with a 0-byte file instead of trying to delete it
• The FileHelper class will now try to use its own methods in more places.
• The PackConfigParser.parseResources method will not return resources that shouldn't be downloaded on the current side anymore
• The parsing of the side property for resources has been redone to accomodate the change above.
• Bumped the version number to 2.4

1.7.10 - 2.3

Feature changes and fixes

• Fixed a crash that happened when the config directory wasn't created.
• Fixed an infinite recursion that happened when an IOException occured when downloading a file.

Technical changes

• IOExceptions that happen from a method in the FileHelper class will now print their stacktrace in the game's logs
• Bumped the version number to 2.3

1.7.10 - 2.2

Feature changes and fixes

• Made the confirm button display a downloading text on the optional resources page (untested).
• Added the translation for the previous text.
• Fixed the version number being incorrect in the previous build (which broke the update checker)
• Made IOExceptions try again once, after 1 second. This should fix (or at least negate) the Curseforge launcher breaking the mod by doing weird stuff with the jar files.

Technical changes

• Reorganized certain functions
• Rewrote some function comments to be javadocs instead.
• Cleaned up the code base a little
• Bumped the version number to 2.2

1.7.10 - 2.1

Feature changes and fixes

• Fixed a crash on servers caused by the missing Apache HTTP library. (Why Mojang, why only include a common web library on clients? )
• Fixed an error that could happen when trying to follow a link with a full URL in it and not just a file name
• Removed the empty follow URL error (It was useless anyways)

Technical changes

• Rewrote the WebHelper class again to not use the Apache HTTP library. (Performance should be more or less the same)
• Removed forgotten debug prints while loading the config file.

1.7.10 - 2.0

New features

• Added the pack folder system, to automatically build the pack.mcinstance file if it's missing.
• Added a template layout in this folder by default.
• Added the hash-based cache system, to not have to re-download the same file everytime there's a pack update (can be disabled).
• Added the optional resources system. Supports grouping, menus, multiple options to check at once and much more (Check out the wiki) [Currently only for the client side]
• Added an update checker with multiple modes, including automatic installation.
• Added a zero-byte files deleting system for the mods folder. It will delete any empty file in there.

Feature changes and fixes

• Changed the overrides/carryover to only merge and not replace folders (they can can still overwrite files though). This is to make the code more coherent and fix a lot of issues.
• Changed the config file's organisation to be better and more readable (you will have to re-create your configs).
• Updated and fixed the Curseforge integration (now with config settings)
• Updated to Modrinth API v2.
• Updated how the mod grabs data from those two platforms
• The mod's version is now present in the logs.
• Fixed the logo not getting displayed in the mod info page for Windows systems.
• Fixed the mod crashing on servers.
• Rewrote the wiki to be much better and easier to understand
• Removed the StopModReposts error when the blacklist couldn't be downloaded, and made the integration optional.
• Replaced the amount of web redirections config with a connection timeout setting instead.

Technical changes

• Rewrote the entire web system to use Apache's HttpClient. It should be more stable, sometimes faster and provides a way cleaner code.
• Refactored a good portion of the code base to be more organized, with smaller functions and an overall cleaner code (i hope).
• Reworked some GUI code to be easier to use
• Separated the main code into multiple phases, allowing to only do a certain portion at some specific point. Used by the update GUI.
• Bumped the version number to 2.0
