Atmosphère 0.8.9 released

atmosphere-png.162000

Another update has just been released for @SciresM's Atmosphère CFW, bumping up its version number to 0.8.9! Aside from the usual bugfixes, the update also brings a couple of new interesting additions that are worth pointing out.

First of all, a reboot timer was added to the fatal screen. This feature is optional and is turned off by default, however it can be enabled by setting fatal_auto_reboot_interval to a non-zero value in atmosphere\system_settings.ini. If set, the system will wait the specified amount of milliseconds on the fatal screen and reboot automatically once the timer runs out. Secondly, Atmosphère now includes a reimplementation of the spl and ro system modules. The latter is what most end user will be interested about, as it includes an extension that adds support for IPS/IPS32 patches for NROs. As such, making and distributing patches will become easier thanks to it: modders rejoice!

If you're curious, you can find the full changelog below:
  • A number of bugs were fixed, including:
    • A data abort was fixed when mounting certain partitions on NAND.
    • All Stratosphère system modules now only maintain a connection to sm when actively using it.
      • This helps mitigate the scenario where sm hits the limit of 64 active connections and crashes.
      • This sometimes caused crashes when custom non-Atmosphère sysmodules were active and the user played certain games (ex: Smash's Stage Builder).
    • fatal now uses the 8.0.0+ clkrst API, instead of silently failing to adjust clock rates on that firmware version.
    • A wait loop is now performed when trying to get a session to sm, in the case where sm: is not yet registered.
      • This fixes a race condition that could cause a failure to boot under certain circumstances.
    • libstratosphere's handling of domain object closing has been improved.
      • Previously, this code could cause crashes/extremely odd behavior (misinterpreting what object a service is) under certain circumstances.
  • An optional automatic reboot timer was added to fatal.
    • By setting the system setting atmosphere!fatal_auto_reboot_interval to a non-zero u64 value, fatal can be made to automatically reboot after a certain number of milliseconds.
    • If the setting is zero or not present, fatal will wait for user input as usual.
  • Atmosphère now provides a reimplementation of the ro system module.
    • ro is responsible for loading dynamic libraries (NROs) on 3.0.0+.
      • On 1.0.0-2.3.0, this is handled by loader.
    • Atmosphere's ro provides this functionality (ldr:ro, ro:dmnt) on all firmware versions.
    • An extension was implemented to provide support for applying IPS patches to NROs.
      • All patches at paths like /atmosphere/nro_patches/<user-defined patch name>/<Hex Build-ID for NRO to patch>.ips will be applied, allowing for easy distribution of patches.
      • Both the IPS and IPS32 formats are supported.
  • Atmosphère now provides a reimplementation of the spl system module.
    • spl (Secure Platform Services) is responsible for cryptographic operations, including all communications with the secure monitor (exosphère).
    • In the future, this may be used to provide extensions to the API for interacting with exosphère from userland.
  • General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

One last thing worth mentioning is that fusee-primary was updated with this version. Remember to update it too if you're using it to boot Atmosphère!

So nowadays you need to have a switch to talk about Topics that are open for everyone right?
"accusations", sadly it got proven many, many times that TX copies stuff. So dont act like a Monkey and whiteknight then.

And dont start with grammar this is the Internet, in addition when yours is bad as well you should just better shut up.

Wow you really can't let it go huh? Whether what you're saying is true or not, this thread is about the new release of atmosphere. You thanked the creators but then you went off topic and started throwing accusations and insults. Is it really that hard for you to just appreciate what atmosphere has done with releasing all these updates and then move on? But no, of course you have to bring up TX lol.

You were trolling. It's the same stupid comments all the time. If scriesm doesn't care hence he keeps the updates coming then I suggest you move on too. Everyone on gbatemp knows they use his code yet fools like to continue to go on about it. Who cares! Either praise scriesm and thank him for his efforts or move on because without good people like the atmosphere team then I'd say the switch cfw scene would be pretty dead.

Next time you want to joke I suggest you say a joke. Not say troll comments to get ppl to bite.

end of the day joke or not (which i didnt laugh by the way as it was not a HA HA joke, it was a troll joke) sxos does not need to be involved in any atmo conversation, all it does is fuel the sxos atmo war.
there is absolutely no need for these wars yet it always happens and others like myself dont see a non funny haha joke as a joke, we see it as fueling the pot and a lot of people are over that, look at the comment above yours.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/atmosphere-version-0-8-4-has-been-released.531962/

look at that thread, comment 3 and 4. straight into pointing out sxos, look at all the deleted comments on the first page of atmo realease, why? majority will be sxos related crap that got deleted.
point is the sxos atmo crap is done and dusted, people need to move on, its gotta end. do you think the admins enjoy having to go through and delete all the crap from these threads too?
