After more than a month since version 1.7, 1.8.0 'Arlong' is out with several updates. I would say this is our biggest release yet.
First of all, this is the first version to fully support Windows and MacOS (read notes below). Since Legendary already has a Windows version, this port was quite easy to do. For MacOS we needed effort from other collaborators to compile and test a proper legendary binary for it. In this case, thanks @entaromia for that.
But this version brings several other improvements for Linux as well like full support for the launch protocol, desktop and start menu shortcuts for games, better handling of Proton, and other fixes.
DiscordRPC support was also added on all platforms thanks @TabulateJarl8
The quality of the codebase was also improved thanks to the effort of @Nocccer that took time to write hundreds of unit tests on it.
Heroic is also using fewer resources since we upgraded to the latest Electron 13.1.
Check the full changelog below:
Fixes bugs found on RC2 like:
STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH
variable when launching a game with proton since it's needed from Proton versions 6.3+.https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/compare/v1.7.0...v1.8.0

This is supposed to be the last version before 1.8.0, fixes bugs introduced on 1.7.0 version, but not the features from 1.8.0RC.
So this is the recommended version until 1.8.0 rolls out.
xdg-open heroic://launch/{appName}
. AppName is not the name of the game, but the internal name that Epic uses. For instance, for Rocket league should be: xdg-open heroic://launch/Sugar

After installing a game, sometimes it wont show as installed, so a Heroic restart is needed.

This is a fix for version 1.5.8. Please upgrade ASAP.
TL;DR: Not a huge lot of new stuff to see, but many bugfixes and a lot of work behind the scenes.
This release has a fix for the critical bug, so you are advised to install it as soon as possible.
Hey folks! Unfortunately, this update doesn't have much of new user-facing functionality. However, like all good things, features take time. This release contains a lot of stuff that lays down groundwork for the features planned for v1.6. Thanks for your patience and continued support. :D
Support for the following languages has been added to Heroic.
There were also some minor fixes applied to Russian ๐ท๐บ. (#272 by @lol28)
We made a lot of changes to DevOps and how Heroic works internally. You might not see the results now (if you do, please tell us, its a bug, not a feature), but they help Heroic be better in the future. :D
Apart from that, we also got crazy refactors of both the backend and the frontend. (#242 and #294 by @adityaruplaha, and #250 by @flavioislima)
Those who follow our Discord (if you don't maybe you start now? ๐ ) will know we have started working on v1.6 in terms of the UI redesign by Billiane Moreira.
Some initial groundwork has also been laid for desktop shortcuts (suggested in #140) in the form of a basic protocol (see #308).
We're also working on a Windows version and GOG integration. However, there's still a long way to go, we can't promise anything when it comes to those in the near future.
v1.5.8 is mostly a maintenance release in preparation for v1.6. However, it does have a few new features, new translations, QOL improvements, and quite a few bug fixes.
