0.14.0 is Atmosphère's thirty-third official release.

fusee-primary was last updated in: 0.14.0.

With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 0.14.0 is bundled with hbl 2.3.4, and hbmenu 3.3.0.

The following was changed since the last release:

  • An API (ams:su) was added to allow homebrew to safely install system upgrades or downgrades.
    • This is a re-implementation of the logic that ns uses to install gamecard system updates.
    • Nintendo (and now atmosphère) uses an installation process that can recover no matter where a failure occurs, which should significantly improve the safety of custom system update installation.
  • Support was added to exosphère for running on Mariko hardware.
    • Please note: Atmosphère still does not support Mariko, and should not be run on Mariko yet.
      • Certain stratosphere components do not handle mariko-specific logic fully correctly yet, and may initialize or interact with hardware incorrectly.
      • This will be fixed and support will be added over the remainder of the Summer.
  • A homebrew application (daybreak) was added that uses the system updater API (with thanks to @Adubbz for both design and implementation).
    • daybreak is included with atmosphère, and functions as a safer/more accurate equivalent to e.g. ChoiDujourNX.
    • Upgrades/downgrades can be installed from a folder containing the update NCAs on the SD card.
    • Because the update logic functions identically to Nintendo's, daybreak will be safe to use on Mariko when the rest of atmosphère has support.
    • Please note: Daybreak requires that meta (.cnmt) NCAs have the correct extension .cnmt.nca.
      • This is because gamecard system update logic uses extension to determine whether to mount the content.
      • Several scripts have been made by community members to automatically rename folders with incorrect extensions.
  • A bug was fixed that would cause file-based emummc to throw an error (showing a hexdump) on boot.
    • Major thanks to @hexkyz for tracking down and resolving this.
  • A number of minor issues were resolved, including:
    • fusee now prints information to the screen when an error occurs, instead of getting stuck trying to initialize the display.
    • A race condition in Horizon was worked around that could prevent boot under certain circumstances.
    • A bug was fixed that would cause atmosphère modules to open ten copies of certain filesystems instead of one.
      • This could cause object exhaustion under certain circumstances.
  • For those interested in atmosphère's future development plans, the project's roadmap was updated.
  • General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
