 encounters issues with that (maintained) code, you can send [bug reports to NFDe](https://github.com/btzy/nativefiledialog-extended/issues).
-This might eventually let NFDe become useful for us here, but for now we need to use the older NFD.
+Thankfully, LWJGL 3.4.0 came out in mid-January 2026, and with it an updated NFDe that seems to have fixed most of the
+critical bugs. It's used by gdx-liftoff 1.14.0.4 . We'll just have to see if it works on macOS and Linux, though...

 If you just downloaded a JDK, you can do the first step again and actually select your wanted version this time.
 Click Apply or OK once you have selected your wanted version in the drop-down.
 
 Second, you'll need to make the links in `lwjgl3/build.gradle` match the JDK you selected, with the same major version
 and hopefully the most recent minor version you can manage. The links currently used by default in Construo are taken
 from https://github.com/adoptium/temurin17-binaries/releases , on the only section with blue links listed inside it.

 Construo should work with, and is definitely the only one still receiving support from any OpenJDK vendor. The actual
 links probably don't matter too much, but you may want to copy the link matching a description like
-`OpenJDK24U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_24.0.1_9.zip` to make sure everything matches. The reason the link doesn't matter is
-that you can usually just change the version from `17.0.15` to `24.0.1` (in this case) and then change the last number
