Atmosphère 0.11.1

on GitHub

0.11.1 is Atmosphère's thirtieth official release.

fusee-primary was last updated in: 0.11.1.

With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 0.11.1 is bundled with hbl 2.3.1, and hbmenu 3.3.0.

The following was changed since the last release:

• A bug was fixed that could cause owls to flicker under certain circumstances.
  • For those interested in technical details, in 10.0.0 kernelldr/kernel no longer set cpuactlr_el1, assuming that it was set correctly by the secure monitor.
  • However, exosphere did not set cpuactlr_el1. This meant that the register held the reset value going into boot.
  • This caused a variety of highly erratic symptoms, including causing basically any game to crash seemingly randomly.
• A number of other major inaccuracies in exosphere were corrected.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

The changelog for the previous release, 0.11.0 is as follows:

• Support was added for 10.0.0.
  • Exosphere has been updated to reflect the new key import semantics in 10.0.0.
  • kernel_ldr now implements physical ASLR for the kernel's backing pages.
  • Loader, NCM, and PM have been updated to reflect the changes Nintendo made in 10.0.0.
  • Creport was updated to use the new pgl service to terminate processes instead of ns:dev.
• A reimplementation of the erpt (error reports) system module was added.
  • In previous versions of Atmosphere, a majority of error reports were prevented via a combination of custom creport, fatal, and stubbed eclct.
  • However, error reports were still generated via some system actions.
    • Most notably, any time the error applet appeared, an error report was generated.
    • By default, atmosphere disabled the uploading of error reports, but going online in OFW after an error report occurred in Atmosphere could lead to undesirable telemetry.
  • Atmosphere's erpt reimplementation allows the system to interact with existing error reports as expected.
  • However, all new error reports are instead saved to the sd card (/atmosphere/erpt_reports), and are not committed to the system savegame.
    • Users curious about what kind of telemetry is being prevented can view the reports as they're generated in there.
    • Reports are saved as msgpack (as this is what Nintendo uses).
  • Please note, not all telemetry is disabled. Play reports and System reports will continue to function unmodified.
  • With atmosphere's erpt implementation, homebrew can now use the native error applet to display errors without worrying about generating undesirable telemetry.
• libstratosphere and libvapours received a number of improvements.
  • With thanks to @Adubbz for his work, the NCM namespace now has client code.
    • This lays the groundwork for first-class system update/downgrade homebrew support in the near future.
  • In particular, code implementing the os namespace is significantly more accurate.
  • In addition, Nintendo's allocators were implemented, allowing for identical memory efficiency versus Nintendo's implementations.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
