Lightforge: Native Launcher for WoW on Linux

Lightforge is a native launcher for World of Warcraft and other Battle.net games on Linux, allowing you to install, update, verify, and launch games without using the official client.

The program implements Blizzard protocols such as TACT and NGDP for content downloading, as well as CASC for local storage, ensuring compatibility with the official client.

After installing a game via Lightforge, you can point the Battle.net client to that folder, and it will accept it without requiring a re-download.

The application is written in the Rust programming language, does not use Electron, requires no background services, and does not run in the background after the launcher is closed.
