What's Changed

💡 Features:

  • Clicking on the Install Button in the download tab now navigates you to the Build in the Library.
  • Improved Settings readability.
  • New option to Disable automatic build Checking on Startup (Settings > Blender Builds).
  • New option to only scrape Daily or Stable builds (Settings > Blender Builds).
  • New settings to use Pre-release Updates for the Blender Launcher (Settings > General).
  • New settings to use System Title Bar (Settings > Appearance).
  • You can now open the last closed Blender file by shift-clicking on the Launch button.
  • Every build is now editable.

🛠️ Fixes:

  • Fixed Stable build fetching.
  • Fixed installed versions being flagged as "installed" after uninstalling in the download tab.
  • Fixed a bug preventing users from launching Blender 2.79 and older from the Launcher.
  • Fixed the inability to move BL using internal moving panels on some Linux Distributions.

⚙️ Others:

  • New icon in the Context Menu.
  • Implemented Semver to manage the version of the Blender Launcher and Blender builds. (We used non-standard version numbers for this version and the previous one to prevent breaking the updater; we will return to a more standard versioning format in the next update).
  • Blender Launcher Settings, Log, and Cache files are now located in the user folder.
    • Windows: %AppData%\..\Local\Blender Launcher.
    • Linux Config: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config/Blender Launcher
    • Linux Cache: $XDG_CACHE_HOME or ~/.cache
  • Stable Build caching to reduce request amount and speed up the fetching of all the Blender builds.
  • Improved Error feedback.
  • Shift-clicking Check will now refresh Stable and Daily.
  • Using argparse for parsing commandline arguments.

Edit: Uploaded a new version of the Ubuntu build due to segfaults (I love github actions so much...)
