Known Issue:

• [Launcher] The launcher will crash while updating and downloading caches (Issue: #22)
  This is due to regression caused by removal of some unused DispatcherQueue which is unnecessary in WinUI 3 1.1.5 while the app is still using WinUI 3 1.1.4 while compiled.

What's Fixed?

- [Launcher/Runtime] Fixed the WebView2 not Terminated while Unused.

Previously, the WebView2 processes don't get terminated if the build-in browser closed and making additional memory consumption. In this version, the WebView2 processes are now terminated once the build-in browser is closed.

How to Install?

For now, we have three options for you to install this app:

• Installer
  Download the Installer file below with name: CL-x.x.x-xxx_Installer.exe and run the launcher, then follow the instruction to install it.
• Portable
  Download the .7z file with name: CL-x.x.x-xxx_Portable.7z and extract it with LZMA2 supported archiver, like WinRAR or 7-zip. Then run "CollapseLauncher.exe" to start the launcher.
• Portable Minimal
  This Portable build doesn't include .NET Desktop Runtime (unlike the other two). If you don't have .NET 6 Desktop Runtime installed on your computer, you need to download the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime here and install it. Download the .7z file with name: CL-x.x.x-xxx_PortableMinimal.7z and then extract the .7z file the same way as Portable build. After that, you can run "CollapseLauncher.exe" to start the launcher.
