Version 1.5.0

system

  • Improved service IPC support for domains.
  • Added RandomSeed HBABI key handling, which fixes broken/identical random number generation output when launching homebrew NROs multiple times with nx-hbloader.
  • Added Barrier synchronization primitive.
  • Added threadGetCurHandle.
  • Fixed several C11 thread support standard compliance issues.
  • Fixed virtmem handling on 1.x.
  • Fixed ProcessState enumeration names and descriptions.
  • Fixed bug in eventCreate.
  • Fixed bug in jitCreate.

services

  • fsp-srv and fsp-ldr services:
    • Now using domains for IPC, which solves problems related to having a large number of filesystem resources open.
    • Added fsdevGetDeviceFileSystem.
  • time services:
    • Added timezone support.
    • The user system clock is now used by default instead of the network clock.
    • The user system clock is now also used as fallback if the specified system clock override (__nx_time_type) is not available.
  • applet services:
    • Added support for running with nx-hbloader as an Application.
    • Added support for enabling video recording when running as an Application, although it needs a specific flag set in the host title's nacp to be accessible.
    • Added appletLockExit/appletUnlockExit, which can be used to ensure that user processes get a chance to finish before the application is closed by the system.
    • Added __nx_applet_exit_mode, used to control the application's behavior on close (including self-exit support).
    • Added AppletHookType_OnExitRequest.
    • Fixed issues related to running as an Application.
    • Minor internal refactor to use Event objects instead of raw handles.
  • hid (input) services:
    • Added SixAxisSensor support.
    • Vibration partially fixed, although it needs disable/enable in system settings for it to be effective.
    • Added hidSetSupportedNpadStyleSet, hidSetSupportedNpadIdType, hidSetNpadJoyHoldType, hidGetControllerType, hidGetControllerColors, hidIsControllerConnected.
  • USB services:
    • Major refactor which adds support for 5.x+ systems.
    • Added usbCommsSetErrorHandling, which now disables USB fatal errors by default.
  • audin/audout services: minor internal refactor to use Event objects instead of raw handles.

  • Added psm commands: psmGetBatteryVoltageState, psmBindStateChangeEvent, psmWaitStateChangeEvent, psmUnbindStateChangeEvent.
  • fatal services: on systems prior to 3.x, FatalType_ErrorReportAndErrorScreen is used again due to FatalType_ErrorScreen not existing. Beware of fatal errors on 1.x and 2.x since they now create reports again (instead of silently hanging the system).

graphics

  • Refactored console device:
    • The console now has an interface that can be used to override the default software rendering backend with a custom implementation (including GPU rendering).
    • The software renderer now takes care of calling gfxInitDefault, gfxSwapBuffers, gfxExit. gfx functions should not be called explicitly by console users.
    • Added consoleUpdate and consoleExit.
    • Old code is still compatible, although it is strongly advised to update it to use the new functions instead of calling gfx functions directly.
  • Fixed NvFence regression on 1.x.
  • Increased default nvservices transfermem heap size to 8 MB, which allows for more complex GPU homebrew to run.
  • Changed nvBufferCreate to support different settings for cpu/gpu cacheability.

network

  • Added nifm handling to socketInitialize/Exit, which makes gethostid/gethostname work by default.
  • Added missing declarations to netinet/in.h.
  • Changed nifm to use IPC domains.
  • Optimized select/poll to avoid using malloc when possible.
  • Fixed poll to accept -1 fds.

miscellaneous

  • psm services: added psmGetChargerType.
  • pm:dmnt services: fixed for 5.0+.
  • nv services: added nvIoctl2 & handling for a separate cloned session, matching official software.
  • Nvidia ioctl wrappers: added nvioctlNvhostAsGpu_UnmapBuffer, nvioctlNvmap_Free, nvioctlChannel_KickoffPb

  • Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments to enhance the user experience.

Version 1.4.0

system

  • Added support for C11 threads, which are preemptively multitasked and load balanced across cores.
  • Added Event object, which wraps kernel revent/wevent handles with optional autoclear.
  • Changed CondVar interface to have the mutex be passed to condvarWait* instead of condvarInit, which is consistent with both the concept of a condition variable and with other common threading APIs.
  • Added armGetSystemTick (which supersedes svcGetSystemTick), and armGetSystemTickFreq.
  • Added rwlockInit.
  • Added kernelAbove600.
  • Added system calls: svcGetThreadCoreMask, svcSetThreadCoreMask.

  • The Event object is now used to return system events from service wrappers when possible, also providing the correct autoclear mode.
  • Corrected fsOpenFileSystem and fsOpenFileSystemWithId.
  • Corrected a bug in hidInitializeVibrationDevices.
  • Corrected a bug in socket error conversion.
  • Fixed nifm not initializing properly for < 3.0.0.
  • Service manager (sm) session now closes properly.
  • hid, irs, vi and nv services now acquire a reference to applet services.

audio

  • Added audren:u service wrapper (presently requiring 3.0.0+, will be addressed in a future update).
  • Added AudioDriver wrapper around audren, providing a higher level interface that can be used to mix and play sounds.

graphics

  • Major rewrite and refactoring work in the gfx wrapper which brings reliability and usability improvements:
    • Removed GfxMode_TiledSingle mode due to it causing problems and potential (temporary) hardware damage.
    • The default transform behavior no longer vertically flips the framebuffer.
    • Removed gfxSetDrawFlip since it's no longer needed thanks to the change in the default transform behavior.
    • It is not necessary to call gfxWaitForVsync in most situations because gfxSwapBuffers already implicitly synchronizes with the display (this is mandated by the Android surface compositor and buffer producer system).
    • Dequeue fatal errors should be solved.
    • Simplified and streamlined logic.
    • nvgfx stripped down to the minimum that is actually necessary to allocate framebuffers.
    • Binder logic now more closely matches both Android code and official software.
    • Proper fence and event wait code is now used.
  • Console code no longer performs a forced flush/swap/vblank wait when printing a newline due to performance reasons. Users of the console device must make sure that gfxFlushBuffers and gfxSwapBuffers are periodically called, preferably in the main loop of the application.
  • Added experimental wrapper objects for the Nvidia driver, needed in order to use the GPU. These wrappers are still in RE phase and will be subject to change in a future release.
  • Major redesign of the VI service wrapper that allows future users to use VI directly to create a display layer.
  • Binder services & buffer producer wrappers were enhanced and redesigned.
    • Binder now holds less state and always uses the VI binder relay service session.
    • Added Module_LibnxBinder error codes.
    • IGraphicBufferProducer binder service wrappers now have the bq prefix and explicitly accept a Binder object.
    • Added bqCancelBuffer.
    • bqGraphicBufferInit was renamed to bqSetPreallocatedBuffer.
  • Enhancements and additions to nvidia ioctl wrappers.
  • Added definitions for some more Android enumerations.
