After the release of the official 14.0.0 Nintendo Switch firmware on Monday, the Atmosphere team got to work on support for the latest software update. And now the wait is over, as Atmosphere 1.3.0 is available now, in pre-release form. Beyond just support for the current Switch firmware are some new features and streamlining; Atmosphere's build system was re-written, and according to SciresM, this release makes it possible for users to make a debugging build of Atmosphere.

In addition, CTCaer's hekate and Nyx have both been updated with 14.0.0 support, which brings better boot speeds. Hekate is currently at 5.7.0, while Nyx is at version 1.2.0.

A full changelog can be seen below, and all of the mentioned releases can be downloaded from their respective official GitHub project pages, as always.

• Support was added for 14.0.0.
  • mesosphère was updated to reflect the latest official kernel behavior.
  • erpt was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
  • pm was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
  • fatal was updated to reflect the latest official behaviors.
• A mechanism for automatically cleaning up erpt_reports was added.
  • When booting, if the console has more than 1000 reports inside /atmosphere/erpt_reports, the folder will be cleaned to empty.
  • This behavior can be disabled by setting erpt!disable_automatic_report_cleanup = u8!0x1 in system_settings.ini.
• Atmosphère's build system was re-written, and now allows globally building for various builds/configs.
  • All boards now automatically support release/debugging/auditing targets; it is now possible to build a full debugging/auditing build of atmosphère for the first time.
• Support was added for compiling libstratosphère to run on PC.
  • The currently implemented/tested targets are Windows (x64), Linux (x64, arm64), macOS (x64, arm64).
    • If you are a developer interested in adding support for another target, please reach out to SciresM#0524 on discord.
  • This is intended to finally allow sanely testing Atmosphère's code, by allowing most of it to run on a PC (with access to a debugger) instead of on game console hardware.
  • In addition, this will allow making PC tools which reuse code written for Atmosphère directly..
  • Please Note: This has no relation to interacting with official software on PC whatsoever. This really allows for making tests and self-contained atmosphère-based command-line tools; the Atmosphère project continues to have zero interest in attempting to run official software of any kind.
  • In the course of adding this support (and working on tooling using it), a number of fairly major revisions were made to stratosphere (particularly surrounding filesystem code).
    • Please Note: A number of changes made for this (and ones necessary in the process of adding support for 14.0.0) are api-breaking.
      • If you're a developer and any of this caused your code to break, please feel free to contact SciresM#0524 for help updating your program.
• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

atmosphere devs never disappoint damn, i thought this was just gonna be a basic fix so that atmo would work on the latest FW

Hekate is currently at 5.7.0, while Nyx is at version 1.2.0.

5.7.2* 1.2.2* ;P

@SciresM, absolute legend.

Also, a very interesting bug was fixed apparently on 14.0:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/...202366c8934c88ef251f1e905967040/gistfile1.txt

THIS is why this project is so interesting. Because atmosphere has basically the complete HOS kernel rewritten as an open source alternative these kind of fixes are picked up and understood.
(This is not a new entry point for a softmod, btw)

...and yes, current sigpatches are released. --> TotalJustice

Wow, that's awesome. They squashed an almost impossible to spot bug after over 5 years. Kudos to whoever found it.

Justice isn't in the scene anymore. I occasionally speak to him still and last I heard (back in January) he has basically quit programming and anything related to it. Don't think he'll mind me posting this here. If his account is still publishing patches (I don't follow sig patch stuff) it's probably someone else who he gave his account to.

Ok now let’s do SXOS

Just FYI, he didn't. Someone else is maintaining the github repo with their own account, now, even though TotalJustics basically still owns the repo.

Thanks for the info and yes I checked the Git before I posted. The latest patches are published by ITotalJustice for HOS FW14. Not sure if this is the same guy. Maybe I should mention I havent tested them.

 

[slaphappygamer]

This is awesome. Now I can get my switch working again. Yes, someone in my house updated the switch.

 

[TomRiddle]

Good stuff.

For some reason I always did felt like a lazyass to upgrade my Switch cfw but now that it's updated for the latest switch firmware I think that I might just upgrade today lol.

 

[urherenow]

Already a new commit in the pipeline. It's small, but if there is no reason for you to do so (like, if you've already updated your firmware and now need this to run CFW at all), I would hold off on updating for a few days for an official final release of 1.3.0. Also gives time to see if any bugs pop up in any homebrew you use because of:

• Please Note: A number of changes made for this (and ones necessary in the process of adding support for 14.0.0) are api-breaking.
  • If you're a developer and any of this caused your code to break, please feel free to contact SciresM#0524 for help updating your program.

Damn, can't even be upset. That is a quick turnaround for responding to such a significant update; well, significant in number of kernel changes anyway. Guess updating the SD for my Switch is also on the to do list.

 

[Purple_Heart]

are custom themes compatible or do i need to wait for an Update of the Theme Installer?

ITotalJustice is TotalJustice. As someone else said though it's someone else updating his git repo.

 

[ImSoHandsome]

Ok now let’s do SXOS

Whats the latest supported firmware on sxos?

 

[MachRc]

^^11.0.0

Havent gone past that on one of mine.

Got go wait, for now. New home menu, it needs updated to know how to handle it.
