Launcher not showing update notes / showing garbage

This bug is a glitch in all Minecraft launcher versions since 0.7.1, where random code shows up in place of the update notes.

What I expected to happen was that the launcher would show the regular update notes that are shown when the launcher shows before.

What actually happened was that it showed random code which usually shows when trying to open one of the minecraft code files in notepad (a incorrectly decompressed gzip)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the minecraft launcher
(Works at random and might just be a 1 time thing)
