  • libnds:

    • Exception handling:

      • Add trivial crash handler to inform the user of unrecoverable error conditions, such as stack corruptions with stack smash protection enabled.
      • Add trivial release exception handler to inform the user of data aborts and other exception conditions even in release builds. This is enabled by default; this implementation omits stack and register dumps, making the .nds size increase negligible.
      • Tweak default exception handler to use a darker red for the background.

    • Filesystem:

      • Fix using Slot-2 direct access on .nds files over 32 MB. In particular, this fixes accessing large NitroFS filesystems under NO$GBA.

    • GRF loader:

      • Improve performance by using fast memcpy() over swiCopy().
      • Rework loader to only read requested chunks from the filesystem, as opposed to reading all chunks and filtering them at a later stage.

    • Sound:

      • Add functions to play PSG, noise and sound samples on specific channels.
      • Add soundCaptureStart and soundCaptureStop high-level helpers for the sound capture functionality.

    • Other:

      • Add additional error checks to NitroFS and GRF functions.
      • Add unused result warnings to functions which can cause memory leaks if their result is not deallocated.
      • Document high-level DSi camera functions.
      • Fix console 'K' ANSI escape code not clearing characters on the line.
      • Fix includes for the latest picolibc commits.

  • SDK:

    • New examples:

      • Add ANSI escape code tests.
      • Add sound capture example.

    • Changes to examples:

      • Add .MOD files to LibXM7 examples.
      • Add missing fclose() error checks.
      • Adjust examples using GRF files to showcase the loader's built-in asset decompression functionality.
      • Clean up camera and LibXM7 examples.

    • picolibc:

      • Add support for C11 Annex K functions (_s-suffixed functions).
      • Deprecate BSD-specific <sys/tree.h>.
      • Fix handling NaN in scanf() and strtod().
      • Fix return values for glob().
      • Fix the FD_ZERO() macro.
      • Initial support for POSIX.1-2024 in header files.
      • Other minor header file cleanups.
      • Replace <_ansi.h> with <sys/cdefs.h>.

    • Other:

      • Fix support for placing the Maxmod soundbank file in the NitroFS file system.
      • Make the SD card root directory configurable in default Makefile templates.
      • Remove Teak LLVM from the -slim Docker image. Most people don't need this toolchain, as it is in a highly experimental and unmaintained state; in addition, removing it from the image does not prevent people from installing it on top, but significantly reduces the download size for everyone else.
      • Remove usage of __DATE__ in teaktool.
