Upstream changelog: https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/releases/tag/8.0
(Imcomplete) list of changes in 8.0 relevant to PollyMC:
- Prism has dropped support for Mojang accounts
- https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1656
- Added it back to PollyMC primarily since the Mojang authentication
code is also used for authlib-injector accounts. Some users may also
still want to be able to log in to Mojang accounts for some reason:
https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/issues/115#issuecomment-1805384658,
even if they do not provide authentication to multiplayer servers.
- To my surprise, I could still log in to a Mojang account, get its
skin, and launch the game. Authentication to servers, of course, did
not work.
- Tested: logging into authlib-injector, Mojang, and MSA accounts and
launching the game.
- Prism has added a built-in updater for Windows and Linux that I assume
provides similar functionality to Sparkle on macOS:
https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1268. There is a
Launcher_UPDATER_GITHUB_REPO variable in CMakeLists.txt that specifies
the repo checked by the updater. I have changed this to the PollyMC
repository, and since PollyMC follows almost the same CI/release
patterns as Prism Launcher, it might work with PollyMC, too, but I
have not tested it yet.
- Add macOS support to Nix
- https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1485
- Untested
- The "PollyMC-Linux-8.0.tar.gz" and similar build artifacts were
renamed to "PollyMC-Linux-8.0-Qt5.tar.gz" to match their
"PollyMC-Linux-8.0-Qt6.tar.gz" counterparts.
- Removed Windows MSVC Legacy builds
- Removed Quilt Beacon toggle, the beacon is now always disabled:
https://github.com/PrismLauncher/PrismLauncher/pull/1547,
https://github.com/PrismLauncher/meta/pull/23
- Prism removed FTB support in 7.0, but I tested creating an FTB
instance to make sure it still works in 8.0

The included snapcraft.yml can be used to build a Snap (the application
format used by Canonical's modern package manager) out of Prism. If the
project wants in the future, Prism can publish these Snaps to the Snap
Store so the Prism Launcher can be installed through the Ubuntu Software
app on vanilla Ubuntu.
I haven't registered the Snap name, so it's currently free for anyone to
reserve. I'd suggest that a Prism developer register the name
prismlauncher at https://snapcraft.io/register-snap to ensure the name
belongs to the project, even if there are no plans of setting up CI to
publish snaps in the short term.
I have also modified JavaUtils.cpp to be able to autodetect the Java
versions included in the Snap, and added "*.snap" to the .gitignore so
the compiled Snap isn't accidentally committed to the repository.

this should find java installs from scoop as well as any other installer, that registers java in the PATH environment variable.

Before this change, you had to specify custom LD_* variables using the
prefix GAME_LD_*. Now instead of dropping all LD_* variables by default,
we should just filter them and remove the values we *know* are from our
start script.
