The new launcher works fine using the 10.6.1 format. However, it will not allow me to successfully launch a new profile using the previous (10.5.1/10.5.2) unmodded versions of minecraft.
Want to use the older version to access pvp servers still running 10.5.2; unable to find the 'old' launcher on Mojang site.
When trying to launch an alternate profile that specifies one of the previous versions of minecraft it crashes. A blank (black) screen appears, then disappears and an error message is received. The Development Console window then displays the following error text:
Client> Client asked for parameter: server
Client> 2013-07-01 19:27:54 [CLIENT] [INFO] LWJGL Version: 2.9.0
Client> Invalid memory access of location 0x28 rip=0x125a88b37
Client>
Game ended with bad state (exit code 139)
Deleting /Users/bettscol/Library/Application Support/minecraft/versions/1.5.2/1.5.2-natives-1372724872210792000
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create profile with vanilla release version 1.5.2
2. Attempt to play using that profile
3. Window (blank) appears.

I'm having the same problem. Please don't make us regret upgrading! Or at the very least, please provide the old loader so that we can play on servers that haven't upgraded yet. Otherwise, we'll have to resort to illegitimate downloads like the below, which are already being posted as workarounds for problems like this:

I should note that I'm using Java 1.6

This is what happens for me when I try to launch the older versions of Minecraft (1.5.2, 1.5.1).
