1.0 Release

Added: Touhou 17.5 support.

After sufficient testing, this version of Touhou Launcher will be a full release version, as I don't believe I will be adding any more features other than support for games as they are released.
As always, feel free to report any bugs you find in this release on the issues page.

1.0 Pre-release 5

Added: Touhou 18 support.

This update was made as quickly and as sloppily as possible, so I'll probably come back to it to fix any bugs I find.

1.0 Pre-release 4

Added: Tray icon for Touhou 17.
Changed: The backwards compatibility code has been rewritten. Unfortunately this breaks compatibility with older versions. An intermediary version called pre3.5 is provided for conversion of settings.json to the new format.
Changed: The browser will no longer start on a webpage.
Changed: replays.gensokyo.org was changed to maribelhearn.com/gensokyo as the former is no longer accessible.
Changed: Updated thcrap interaction to be compatible with the 2019-10-05 update. You may need to set your thcrap_loader path again.
Changed: The profile editor will now fill in missing game profiles with paths that you have already filled automatically when launching it.
Changed: You can now set arbitrary names for game profile IDs as long as they don't start with "th".
Changed: Enlarged the custom games list.
Changed: Upgraded to Visual Studio 2017 from 2012. Hopefully shouldn't change anything.
Changed: Dependencies will now appear only above the patches that depend on them.
Changed: Required thcrap directories will now be created automatically if they do not exist.

Fixed: thcrap's encoding for patches not using UTF-8.
Fixed: Error if patch directory does not exist.
Fixed: Error when games.js does not exist.
