system
- Introduced multi-wait infrastructure, allowing for user mode synchronization primitives. Users are advised to stop using svcWaitSynchronization(Single) manually and move to the new wait API.
- Added UEvent and UTimer user mode synchronization primitives.
- Added full list of KernelError result codes, as well as a KERNELRESULT macro.
- Added eventActive.
- Added tmemCreateFromMemory.
- Added syscall: svcTerminateDebugProcess.
- Corrected syscalls: svcMapPhysicalMemory, svcUnmapPhysicalMemory.
- Fixed bug in ipcParseDomainResponse.
- Fixed bug in ipcPrepareHeaderForDomain.
- Added serviceSendObject.
graphics
- Major refactor and redesign of the entire libnx graphics stack.
- Introduced NWindow (Native Window) API, allowing for direct management of a renderable surface. It is possible to create a NWindow out of a ViLayer (or other sources of an IGBP binder object); or use nwindowGetDefault to retrieve the default native window.
- Introduced Framebuffer API (used for creating and managing a software rendered framebuffer on a NWindow).
- Deprecated the old gfx API, scheduled for removal in the next libnx release. Users are advised to move to the new NWindow API (and Framebuffer if applicable). Please see switch-examples for more information on how to use this new API.
- The default software rendered console backend now uses NWindow and Framebuffer instead of the old gfx API. Therefore, it is now mandatory to use consoleUpdate/consoleExit.
- Optimized software console scrolling; now using 128-bit copies and RGB565 framebuffer format (which requires 50% less memory bandwidth).
- Completely redesigned Nvidia ioctl wrapper objects, now more closely matching official logic.
- Miscellaneous fixes in vi, parcel, IGBP, etc code.
- Added vi commands: viSetContentVisibility, viGetDisplayLogicalResolution, viSetDisplayMagnification, viSetDisplayPowerState, viSetDisplayAlpha, viGetDisplayMinimumZ, viGetDisplayMaximumZ, viSetLayerSize, viSetLayerZ, viSetLayerPosition.
- Improved ViScalingMode enum.
applet
- Introduced libapplet (library applet) launching support.
- Added swkbd (software keyboard) libapplet wrapper.
- Added applet commands: appletPopLaunchParameter, appletPushToGeneralChannel, appletSetTerminateResult, appletSetMediaPlaybackState.
- Added account applet wrapper: accountGetPreselectedUser.
- Added libappletRequestHomeMenu, libappletRequestJumpToSystemUpdate.
- Added AppletStorage object.
- Added AppletHolder object.
- Added LibAppletArgs object.
- Corrected and added missing AppletFocusState and AppletFocusHandlingMode enum values.
- Now using domains for am services.
usb
- Added usb:hs service wrapper.
- Now using domains for usb:ds.
- Miscellaneous fixes and refactoring.
other services
- Added fs command: fsIsExFatSupported.
- Added hid command: hidAcquireNpadStyleSetUpdateEventHandle.
- Added ldr:ro and ro:dmnt service wrappers.
- Added ns:dev commands: nsdevLaunchProgram, nsdevGetShellEvent, nsdevGetShellEventInfo, nsdevTerminateApplication, nsdevPrepareLaunchProgramFromHost, nsdevLaunchApplication, nsdevLaunchApplicationWithStorageId, nsdevIsSystemMemoryResourceLimitBoosted, nsdevGetRunningApplicationProcessId, nsdevSetCurrentApplicationRightsEnvironmentCanBeActive.
- Added pm:dmnt commands: pmdmntGetDebugProcesses, pmdmntDisableDebug.
- Added pm:shell commands: pmshellTerminateProcessByProcessId, pmshellGetProcessEvent, pmshellGetProcessEventInfo, pmshellFinalizeDeadProcess, pmshellClearProcessExceptionOccurred, pmshellNotifyBootFinished, pmshellBoostSystemMemoryResourceLimit.
- Renamed ldrDmntGetNsoInfos to ldrDmntGetModuleInfos.
- Changed psm wrapper to dynamically open and close IPC sessions instead of leaving one open at all times. Introduced PsmSession object, used to manage this session.
- Fixed IPC bug in splSetConfig.
miscellaneous
- Added sys/poll.h as an alias for poll.h.
- Fixed compatibility with C99.
- Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments to enhance the user experience.
