Greetings! This pre-release includes a fairly small update - the main change being some extra safety with a warning for embedded mods when manually importing Modrinth or CurseForge modpacks. 

Some issues with excessive disk activity should also be fixed now - you might find this especially reduces freezing when closing the launcher settings or launching an instance.

We will be getting people to test this in our [Discord server](https://prismlauncher.org/discord) - and if everything goes to plan, this version shall be released as Prism Launcher 11.1.0!
