Launcher changelog

Added

• Account: Login shown as unavailable when the login server is down, instead of a login button that fails.
• Changelog: "Mark all as read" button.
• Download and installation: The launcher updates itself: the new version is downloaded in the background and installed on restart, or when the launcher is closed.
• Interface: The launcher version is displayed next to the logo.
• Download and installation: The game's output is kept in a log file next to the launcher's own, to help understand a crash.

Changed

• Interface: The Discord link opens the Discord application when it is installed, going straight to the server for its members; otherwise the web page.
• Social: Friends' status refreshed every minute.
• Interface: Launcher minimised while the game is running, back when the game closes.
• Changelog: Shortened build names, unread versions marked with a dot; the changelog opens on the most recent version.
• Interface: Disabled buttons shown with a "not allowed" cursor and, when the reason is not visible, a tooltip explaining it.
• Download and installation: Launchers installed from a .deb or .rpm package download the new package directly.

Fixed

• Download and installation: Full disk clearly reported, with the amount of space to free up, instead of an interrupted download; the download is kept so it can be resumed.
• Interface: Server no longer shown as unavailable after quick universe switches.
• Account: Discord login back in the browser, where Discord already knows the account, instead of a launcher window asking for it again.
• Download and installation: The game no longer crashes when it is launched from the AppImage launcher.
• Interface: Server status comes back on its own when the connection returns, without restarting the launcher.

Security

• Download and installation: A game archive can no longer write files outside the game folder.
• Interface: Launcher components updated to fix known security vulnerabilities.
