Version 1.8.1

• libnds:

  • Add a helper to convert UTF-16LE text (like the firmware player name and message) to UTF-8.
  • Modify assert() on the ARM7 to send the information to the ARM9 instead of displaying it on the no$gba console.
  • Added swiIntrWaitAUX() for the ARM7.
  • The Doxygen documentation of interrupt functions has been fixed.
  • The documentation of the firmware personal data has been improved with a warning saying that the struct may not be initialized right af the beginning of main() on the ARM9.
  • Always use fake_heap_start and fake_heap_end in sbrk().
  • Some assertions in the timer functions were missing checks for values lower than zero, this has been fixed.
  • All instances of sassert() in common ARM7 and ARM9 code have been replaced by assert().

• DSWifi:

  • Add player name information to beacon packets, and add it to the Wifi_AccessPoint struct so that clients can see it. This name can be replaced by any string defined by the developer if required.
  • Add way to get the RSSI of the AP we're connected to. It can be done by calling Wifi_GetData(WIFIGETDATA_RSSI). @snowshoe
  • Always include ASSOCSTATUS_STRINGS array in builds. It used to be removed in builds without sgIP.
  • Some minor documentation fixes.

• grit:

  • Update documentation (command line interface and changelog).
  • Let the build system define the version string compiled in the binary.

• SDK:

  • Examples:

    • In DSWifi examples, print multiplayer access points in color red when they aren't accepting new connections. Also, display the player name provided by the beacon frames.
    • There's a new test to verify that sbrk() works correctly in both the ARM7 and ARM9.
    • Update the asserts example to show that asserts that happen in the ARM7 are sent to the ARM9 and displayed on the screen.

  • Documentation:

    • Document flag used for "twl" sections in ndstool and the linkerscripts.

  • Other:

    • Remove duplicated __end__ entries in ARM7 linkerscript files.
    • The fake heap pointers are now setup on the ARM7, not only the ARM9.
    • The fake heap limit setup has been documented.
    • The R4RF DLDI driver included in the SDK has been updated.
    • Update CMake build system to link the debug version of libnds in debug builds.
