Atmosphère 0.10.1

0.10.1 is Atmosphère's twenty-fourth official release.

fusee-primary was last updated in: 0.10.0.

With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 0.10.1 is bundled with hbl 2.3, and hbmenu 3.2.0.

The following was changed since the last release:

• A bug was fixed that caused memory reallocation to the system pool to work improperly on firmware 5.0.0 and above.

  • Atmosphere was always trying to deallocate memory away from the applet pool and towards the system pool.
    • The intent of this is to facilitate running more custom sysmodules/atmosphere binaries.
  • However, while memory was always successfully taken away from the applet pool, on 5.0.0+ granting it to the system pool did not work for technical reasons.
    • If you are interested in the technical details, talk to SciresM.
  • This has now been fixed by adding new kernel patches, and memory is correctly granted to the system pool as intended.

• Atmosphere's library system has been overhauled:

  • libstratosphere's repository has been rebranded, more generally, to "Atmosphere-libs".
    • In addition to libstratosphere, a new general library for not-stratosphere-specific code has been added.
      • This is currently named libvapours.
    • In the future, kernel functionality will be available as libmesosphere.
  • The build system for stratosphere system modules has been similarly overhauled.

• The boot system module is now loaded into non-secure memory.

  • This helps somewhat to prevent fragmentation of the system memory heap.

• A number of other bugs were fixed, including:

  • A bug was fixed that could cause memory corruption when redirecting certain Romfs content.
  • A bug was fixed that could cause an infinite loop when redirecting certain Romfs content.
  • A bug was fixed that could cause certain NROs to fail to load.
    • This caused the latest version of Super Smash Bros to display "An error has occurred" on launch.
  • A bug was fixed that caused input/output array sizes for certain circumstances to be calculated incorrectly.
    • This caused cheats to fail to function properly.
  • C++ exception code is now more thoroughly removed from stratosphere executables.
    • This saves a minor amount of memory.
  • A number of minor logic inversions were fixed in libstratosphere.
    • These did not affect any code currently used by released Atmosphere binaries.

• Please note: Because this update is releasing so soon after 0.10.0, the removal of the temporary hid-mitm has been postponed to 0.10.2.

  • Please ensure your homebrew is updated.

• Random number generation now uses TinyMT instead of XorShift.

• General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
