A much smaller release than the last one, but with some nice changes nonetheless.

New features

  • Much improved search menu
    • I had always intended to make the search menu have buttons or dropdowns or the like for the Categories and Consoles values, well it took a hot minute but now it's here!
    • You can also search on descriptions now, by default searches now search both title or description, but you can disable either of them
  • (@Epicpkmn11 and @Sorunome) SSL validity is now actually checked and respected
    • Previously while we fully supported SSL for encryption, we had certificate validation disabled leaving MITM attacks possible
    • Minor downside is that web requests will now properly fail if your date is set significantly off, but this is easy to fix from Luma3DS's Rosalina menu
  • Several menus that previously required using the buttons to scroll are now fully controllable on the touch screen by scrolling on tapping the first or last item in the list
  • Prompt messages now automatically wrap text and support scrolling!
  • Added a warning on start if the connection times out that you probably have an incompatible custom DNS
  • Replaced our old practice of uploading commit builds to a dedicated repository with uploading them to a 'git' release on this repo
    • This makes them easier to find and fixes some buggy behaviour when using the git build auto-update feature in app
    • We have also changed the nomenclature from 'nightly builds' to 'git builds' as it better reflects the technical reality

Bug fixes

  • Fixed sleep mode!
    • Universal-Updater used to block sleep mode despite it not actually keeping an internet connection so battery was wasted for no reason; now sleep is only blocked while the queue is running and downloads actually work! (your console will finish all downloads and installs then go to sleep)
  • Fixed visual regression in v3.3.0 that made the install confirmation unhelpfully always ask if you're sure you want to install the first entry rather than the selected one
  • Made it so the install confirmation prompt is never skipped for nightlies and pre-releases
