Complete record of improvements, bug fixes, and additions to Blade Launcher.
Offline nickname accounts with immediate local profile creation and skin/cape attachment for singleplayer and LAN worlds.
Custom 3D skin & cape import dialog with direct URL downloader, local file picker, and Alex/Steve arm model selection.
Intelligent GPU renderer suggestion checking device Vulkan capabilities before recommending GL4ES, Zink, or VirGL.
Java 25 runtime download integration in Runtime Manager alongside Java 8, 11, 17, and 21.
Fixed Minecraft 26.2+ crash caused by missing GLFW method implementations (glfwGetPreeditCursorRectangle / glfwSetPreeditCursorRectangle) in native bridge.

Eliminated character-by-character vertical text wrapping across Account List and Settings screens.
Rebranded launcher namespace to com.sednium.bladelauncher and module to BladeLauncher, preserving all original upstream licenses and credits.
Replaced fixed side navigation rail with bottom navigation bar optimized for portrait mobile screens.
Adopted modern WindowInsetsControllerCompat fullscreen handling while preserving adaptive portrait status bar visibility.
Forked from ZalithLauncher2 — process-isolated JVM runtime, GL4ES/Zink rendering pipeline, and Modrinth/CurseForge downloader foundation.
