Further testing will be needed to confirm. + + `loader` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior. + + `erpt` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior. + + `pgl` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior. + + `ro` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior. + + NROs can now be lz4 frame compressed. ++ ZBIC compresison/decompression has been properly implemented. Applications using it should now launch and work properly. ++ A dockerfile has been added to atmosphère (thanks @alula). ++ R_DISCARD macro has been adopted across the entire codebase where applicable. This finishes the work started in version 1.10.0 and eliminates the nodiscard warnings during compilation. ++ General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience. ## 1.11.2 + Basic support was added for 22.5.0. + Atmosphère was updated to use GCC 16/newlib (latest devkitA64/devkitARM releases).
