+- Environment variable `IGN_LAUNCH_CONFIG_PATH` started to be treated as a path

+  a single path could be set here, and setting a path list would break the whole

+## Launch file lookup
+
+There is a lookup process happening if the specified file is not an absolute
+path. It searches for a file with the given name in paths as follows:
+
+1. current directory
+1. all paths specified in environment variable `IGN_LAUNCH_CONFIG_PATH`
+1. a hardcoded install location (usually
+   `/usr/share/ignition/ignition-launchN/configs/`)
+
+The `IGN_LAUNCH_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable can contain either a single
+path or a path list (_new since 2.2.2_). Path list is a colon-separated (on
+UNIX) or semicolon-separated (on Windows) list of absolute paths.
