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

Several portlibs have been recompiled with latest tools and against updated libraries. The latest newlib has changed struct stat meaning anything using stat or providing a pseudo device driver via devoptab will need rebuilt.These include 3ds-sdl_gfx, 3ds-sdl_ttf, 3ds-wildmidi, 3ds-jansson, 3ds-libid3tag and 3ds-mpg123.


Finally, devkitPro has a Patreon page. If you like our toolchains/libraries and feel like giving something back, you can become a Patron and help us stay alive and cover expenses. You can, of course, still make a one off donation if you prefer. Either way of contributing will be most appreciated We don't usually go to great lengths as to explain why it is necessary; but we'd like to kindly point out the fact that the entire homebrew ecosystem depends on the tools and libraries here at devkitPro we've put so much love and effort into.

This month, we have the following Patrons to whom we would like to give our most sincere thanks! (If you are a Patron and do not wish to be publicly listed, please let us know through any contact platform)
