It's been over a year since the initial linux beta release, and almost half a year since the last update. Any news on an official release?

You can pin your comment and hopefully then it will stand out so no more out of date flags.

Ok this is still getting flagged as out of date so I'll explain it again:
This package is the official stable package you get when you go through the Minecraft website, which still points to "http://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.jar"
If you want the new launcher check the https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minecraft-launcher package that is maintained by Mojang themselves.
And if you want this package to be the new launcher, just ask Mojang why 2.x is not deemed stable yet and if it is if they could update their links on the official website.
I trust that in time I will be able to update this package to the latest launcher but right now it will stay on this version.
Thank you for your understanding.

I tried to run this on a fresh Antergos installation and I got this error:
"./launcher: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
This file, which should be located at "/usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4", is provided by the gconf package, which is not listed as a dependency of this package.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/gconf/
Simply add the gconf package as a dependency and that should fix the problem.

Please dont force installation of java 8, Minecraft runs very well with java 9 by removing "-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode" from profile startup arguments.
Set it to java-runtime>=8 and leave a comment telling java 9 users about the startup argument.

If you're like me and got confused about the linked issue page: it seems the permalink has stopped working. Go to the "All" comments section and read by LightWayUp; basically saying to remove "-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode" from your profile's JVM arguments, also mentioned below.

Thanks and please leave it this way. I for example have placed some separate VMs inside my .minecraft directory to run different versions of Minecraft and also would not want it to change my system wide configuration, as the launcher itself works with almost every version of Java.

@Tids If I don't force the install of java 8 I get weekly mails asking me to force the install because people expect this package to set it up for them.
What I can do though is set it to java-runtime>=8 and leave a comment telling java 9 users to check the issue you linked.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.
That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.
The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.
