+The installer now has more strict rules about updating the :ref:`launcher`.
+In general, most users only have a single launcher installed and will see no
+difference. When multiple launchers have been installed, the option to
+install the launcher is disabled until all but one have been removed.
+Downgrading the launcher (which was never allowed) is now more obviously
+blocked.
