Can't install Liteloader in Minecraft 1.5.2

[Stephen-Hamilton-C]

Operating System

Windows, Linux

Version of Prism Launcher

Prism Launcher 8.0

Version of Qt

Qt 5.15.10

Description of bug

I'm aware that 1.5.2 is a very old Minecraft version at this point, but I can't install Liteloader from the launcher, despite Liteloader being available for 1.5.2.
http://www.liteloader.com/download shows this:

While Prism Launcher shows this:

However, I am able to install Forge through the launcher just fine.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new instance
2. Select Minecraft version 1.6.1 or older
3. Click Install Loader
4. Select LiteLoader.
5. See "No versions are currently available for Minecraft 1.x.x"

Suspected cause

The earliest version I'm able to install Liteloader on in Prism is 1.6.2. Anything earlier than that (not including snapshots) simply doesn't show. I do see on the Liteloader website that 1.5.2 is the earliest version, and the next one up is 1.6.2. I don't know if there's a correlation, but that's just my observation.

This issue is unique

• I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my bug.

Looks like we filter that version out, as it doesn't work the same way as later versions did. I will look into adding support for this. See
