I think they are working on this:

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues/194

https://github.com/Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere/issues?q=is:open+is:issue+milestone:0.7
Those are issues for the 0.7 release.

As you see, most relates to fusee, the bootloader, and these functions were implemented in hekate.

This means other parts of atmosphere, including loader, pm, sm, layered fs, etc... (eg stratosphere), and exosphere are ready for a release already.

(and using latest sdfules = same result)

At this point, Hekate makes for a much better bootloader than Fusee because at least the former can be used to load CFWs other than Atmosphere.

Start the Friday countdown, guys :^}

they ain't fixing 4 issues in 3 days

Not sure, man.
Release date says end of August, and we only have 3 more days until August ends.
This is why you don't give release dates when it comes to stuff like this :^}

Actually that is not necessarily true. Atmo has a chainloader integrated (idk if it'll be included at first). fusee primary may fit into more device than hekate, but that's not a problem anymore for hekate cause of modules.

1 issue is actually a major bug (powering on the ccplex). The kernel/firm patching: already done for kernel, kip patching/replacing to come.
Then cleaning up and creating a wiki isn't really difficult.
Also see my comment above.

Maybe you guys should check this out

(Amusingly, the ELF is 340 MB...the entire rest of the game is <200. A majority of DL bandwidth for the game is this unstripped ELF.) pic.twitter.com/9w5Ywgka3j

He didn't give a specific release date. August was merely his "best estimate". Any estimate should be taken with a grain of salt. It could be released within the next three days or within the next three weeks. Either way, it's done when it's done and people will use it regardless of when it's done.

Add to that: the actual release date after the famous 15 june was simply "summer".

inb4 "summer" becomes "by the end of autumn" lol

Right so my point still stands as there are other features that Hekate has that Fusee will not, at least at launch.

And so the continuous wait begins again.

If you follow the discord they had it fully booting start to finish. They're just squishing final bugs and cleaning things up. It's not really an issue is it. Let's see what the coming week brings but yeah - happy days. Nearly there. The super donor of all other CFWs will finally see its own framework bare fruit.

How could we understan this?
Some type of "hax"?
And just a little question. What is an ELF in this context?

And a quick Google....

In computing, the Executable and Linkable Format (ELF, formerly named Extensible Linking Format), is a common standard file format for executable files, object code, shared libraries, and core dumps.

I used ELFs in the past but dunno if this ELF that SciresM said is the same but it seems yes.

Thank you.

The Twitter post goes on to talk about the size of the elf compared to what is really game data. I am going to assume the elf here has a good chunk of debug info, at least from what the Twitter post goes on to say. So I'm going to say that the elf files here that he is talking about contain object code.
