Oct 1, 2025October 2025 — Archipelago development focused on stabilizing installation workflows and improving world-related validation in WebHost. Delivered two key updates in Archipelago: (1) Launcher Installation Flow Enhancements — refactored apworld install popup, improved error handling for cases when the Kivy app is running and the module is already loaded, and standardized the installation notices title. (2) WebHost World Validation and Filtering — added filtering to ignore incompatible worlds by requiring a 'tutorials' attribute and logging invalid worlds, resulting in a more stable and predictable user experience. These changes reduce runtime errors, improve user trust, and simplify support by ensuring only valid worlds are presented to users.
