system
- Added support for C11 threads, which are preemptively multitasked and load balanced across cores.
- Added Event object, which wraps kernel revent/wevent handles with optional autoclear.
- Changed CondVar interface to have the mutex be passed to condvarWait* instead of condvarInit, which is consistent with both the concept of a condition variable and with other common threading APIs.
- Added armGetSystemTick (which supersedes svcGetSystemTick), and armGetSystemTickFreq.
- Added rwlockInit.
- Added kernelAbove600.
- Added system calls: svcGetThreadCoreMask, svcSetThreadCoreMask.
- Added MOD0 header to binaries compiled with libnx.
- Fixed semaphoreTryWait.
- Fixed a memory leak in tmemCreate.
services
- Added bpc service (used for rebooting and shutting down the console).
- Added psm service (needed to get the battery status).
- Added ns commands: nsListApplicationRecord, nsListApplicationContentMetaStatus.
- Minor enhancements to applet service:
- Added missing AppletType_SystemApplet initialization in applet code.
- Added appletBeginBlockingHomeButton and appletEndBlockingHomeButton.
- The Event object is now used to return system events from service wrappers when possible, also providing the correct autoclear mode.
- Corrected fsOpenFileSystem and fsOpenFileSystemWithId.
- Corrected a bug in hidInitializeVibrationDevices.
- Corrected a bug in socket error conversion.
- Fixed nifm not initializing properly for < 3.0.0.
- Service manager (sm) session now closes properly.
- hid, irs, vi and nv services now acquire a reference to applet services.
audio
- Added audren:u service wrapper (presently requiring 3.0.0+, will be addressed in a future update).
- Added AudioDriver wrapper around audren, providing a higher level interface that can be used to mix and play sounds.
graphics
- Major rewrite and refactoring work in the gfx wrapper which brings reliability and usability improvements:
- Removed GfxMode_TiledSingle mode due to it causing problems and potential (temporary) hardware damage.
- The default transform behavior no longer vertically flips the framebuffer.
- Removed gfxSetDrawFlip since it's no longer needed thanks to the change in the default transform behavior.
- It is not necessary to call gfxWaitForVsync in most situations because gfxSwapBuffers already implicitly synchronizes with the display (this is mandated by the Android surface compositor and buffer producer system).
- Dequeue fatal errors should be solved.
- Simplified and streamlined logic.
- nvgfx stripped down to the minimum that is actually necessary to allocate framebuffers.
- Binder logic now more closely matches both Android code and official software.
- Proper fence and event wait code is now used.
- Console code no longer performs a forced flush/swap/vblank wait when printing a newline due to performance reasons. Users of the console device must make sure that gfxFlushBuffers and gfxSwapBuffers are periodically called, preferably in the main loop of the application.
- Added experimental wrapper objects for the Nvidia driver, needed in order to use the GPU. These wrappers are still in RE phase and will be subject to change in a future release.
- Major redesign of the VI service wrapper that allows future users to use VI directly to create a display layer.
- Binder services & buffer producer wrappers were enhanced and redesigned.
- Binder now holds less state and always uses the VI binder relay service session.
- Added Module_LibnxBinder error codes.
- IGraphicBufferProducer binder service wrappers now have the
bqprefix and explicitly accept a Binder object. - Added bqCancelBuffer.
- bqGraphicBufferInit was renamed to bqSetPreallocatedBuffer.
- Enhancements and additions to nvidia ioctl wrappers.
- Added definitions for some more Android enumerations.
miscellaneous
- The
ALIGNmacro was removed in favor of the C11/C++11 alignas attribute. - Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments to enhance the user experience.
