Atmosphère 1.8.0

on GitHub

1.8.0 is Atmosphère's eightieth official release.

Please be sure to update fusee when upgrading to 1.8.0. fusee-primary no longer exists, and will not work any more.

Please note: Atmosphère 1.8.0 is currently in pre-release, and issues may be found that need to be fixed before full release.

• If any bugs are reported while Atmosphère is in pre-release, they will be fixed and the build will be updated.
• 1.8.0 will transition to release after a short amount of time has passed without pressing bug reports.

With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 1.8.0 is bundled with hbl 2.4.4, and hbmenu 3.6.0.

The following was changed since the last release:

• Basic support was added for 19.0.0.
  • The console should boot and atmosphère should be fully functional. However, not all modules have been fully updated to reflect the latest changes.
    • There shouldn't be anything user visible resulting from this, but it will be addressed in a future atmosphère update. There is still one action item from 18.0.0 to be addressed, as well.
  • exosphère was updated to reflect the latest official secure monitor behavior.
  • mesosphère was updated to reflect the latest official kernel behavior.
  • loader was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
  • pm was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
  • ro was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
• creport's file acces patterns were optimized, greatly improving performance when generating a crash report.
• Atmosphère now uses relr relocations where possible.
  • This reduces the filesize of a number of atmosphère's modules.
• A number of minor issues were fixed and improvements were made, including:
  • Support was fixed for running Atmosphère on newer units with specific Hynix/Micron DRAM chips.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
