Update notes page 2 / "Older" does not exist

Confirmed, seems to be a JavaFX error.

Still occurs in 1.4.2

I cannot reproduce this in 1.4.4. Nothing happens when I click "Older", as described in MCL-2637. Can you provide some information about your system? OS version? Java version?

Still in 1.4.4, see details in the logfile:

In 1.4.7, the error no longer occurs, but that's because the "Older" link does nothing now (clicking it neither throws an exception nor opens Page 2), so the problem is still here.

still nothing happens at all in 1.6.13 OS X
However, I wonder if the new OS X launcher will include a full rewrite/revision, or if it is purely the repackaging of the launcher to properly work on OS X.

Confirmed for launcher v1.6.13 on Windows 8.1.

Still present in v1.6.19 of the launcher for Windows 10

Still present in v1.6.44 of the launcher for Windows 10.

Invalid since blog post does not occur on the new launcher anymore.
