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.
