1.6.2 is Atmosphère’s seventy-seventh official release.
Please be sure to update fusee when upgrading to 1.6.2. fusee-primary no longer exists, and will not work any more.
With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 1.6.2 is bundled with hbl 2.4.4, and hbmenu 3.6.0.
The following was changed since the last release:
- Support was finished for 17.0.0.
- erpt was updated to support the latest official behavior.
- jpegdec was updated to support the latest official behavior.
- pm was updated to support the latest official behavior.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
And the following was changed in 1.6.1:
- An improved solution to the problem that would cause consoles which had previously re-built their SYSTEM partition to brick on update-to-17.0.0 was added.
- In particular, booting atmosphère will now automatically detect the problem and unbrick any consoles which have fallen into this state.
- Some improvements were made to haze, including:
- Performance was greatly improved:
- Support was added for GetObjectPropList, which decreases the amount of requests made by ~8x.
- Haze now performs rendering on the GPU, freeing up the CPU to respond to requests in a more timely manner.
- An issue was fixed with how haze configures bMaxPacketSize0 which improves support for USB3.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
And the following was changed in 1.6.0:
- Basic support was added for 17.0.0.
- 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 soon-to-come atmosphère update.
- exosphère was updated to reflect the latest official secure monitor behavior.
- mesosphère was updated to reflect the latest official kernel behavior.
- ncm was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
- erpt was partially updated to support the latest official behavior.
- Atmosphere’s gdbstub now supports waiting to attach to a specific program id on launch (as opposed to any application).
- The monitor command for this is monitor wait <hex program id>, where program id can optionally have an 0x prefix.
- Support was added to haze for editing files in-place and performing 64-bit transfers (files larger than 4 GB).
- bpc.mitm was enabled on Mariko units, and now triggers pmic-based shutdowns/reboots (thanks @CTCaer).
- This should cause the console to no longer wake ~15 seconds after shutdown on Mariko.
- A number of minor issues were fixed and improvements were made, including:
- A workaround was added for a change in 17.0.0 that would cause consoles which had previously re-built their SYSTEM partition to brick on update-to-17.0.0.
- General system stability improvements to enhance the user’s experience.
