##Functional changes
- Old version.json and custom.json version files will be transformed into a minecraft version patch:
- The process is automated
- LWJGL entries are stripped from the original file - you may have to re-do LWJGL version customizations
- Old files will be renamed - .old extension is added
- Blocked various environment variables from affecting Minecraft:
- "JAVA_ARGS",
- "CLASSPATH",

- "_JAVA_OPTIONS",
- "JAVA_OPTIONS",
- "JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS"
- Generally improved MultiMC logging:
- More error logging for network tasks
- Added timestamps relative to application start
- Changed default PermGen value to 128M because of many issues from new users
- MultiMC now doesn't use a proxy by default
- Fixed bugs related to corrupted settings files (settings and patch order file saves are now atomic)
- Added a workaround for icon themes broken in KDE Plasma 5 (only relevant for custom builds)
- Updated zip manipulation library - files inside newly written zip/jar files should have proper access rights and timestamps
- If you rely on those in any way, now would be a time to fix that
- Improved handling of LWJGL on OSX (.dylib vs. .jnilib extensions)
- Jar mods are now always put into a generated temporaty Minecraft jar instead of being put on the classpath
- PermGen settings:
- Changed default PermGen value to 128M because of many issues from new users
- MultiMC now recognizes the Java version used and will not add PermGen settings to Java >= 1.8
- Implemented simple modpack import and export feature:
- Export allows selecting which files go into the resulting zip archive
- Only MultiMC instances for now, other pack formats are planned
- Import is either from local file or URL, URL can't have ad/click/pay gates
- Made Minecraft resource downloads more resilient (throwing away invalid/broken index files)
- MCEdit tool now recognizes MCEdit2.exe as a valid file to runtime
- Massive internal restructuring
- Inserted blatant self-promotion (Only Minecraft 1.8 and up)
- Minecraft asset import from old format has been removed
- Running profilers now works on Windows
- Instance copy doesn't follow symlinks on Linux anymore
- Still does on Windows because copying symlinks requires Administrator level access
- Instance delete doesn't follow symlinks anymore - anywhere
- Fixed issue with the application getting stuck in a modal dialog when screenshot uploads fail
- Description text in the main window status bar now updates when Minecraft version is changed
- Instance profiles and patches are now loaded lazily (speeds up MultiMC start)
- Groups are saved after copying an instance
- MCEdit tool now recognizes MCEdit2.exe as a valid file to runtime
- Log uploads now follow the maximum allowed paste sizes of paste.ee and are encoded properly
- MultiMC now doesn't use a proxy by default
- Running profilers now works on Windows
