Full Release Notes

**1.8.0** is Atmosphère's eightieth official release.

**Please be sure to update fusee when upgrading to 1.8.0**. fusee-primary no longer exists, and will not work any more.

With thanks to the @switchbrew team, Atmosphère 1.8.0 is bundled with [hbl](https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbloader) 2.4.4, and [hbmenu](https://github.com/switchbrew/nx-hbmenu) 3.6.0.

The following was changed since the last release:

* Basic support was added for 19.0.0.
    * The console should boot and atmosphère should be fully functional. However, not all modules have been fully updated to reflect the latest changes.
        * There shouldn't be anything user visible resulting from this, but it will be addressed in a future atmosphère update. There is still one action item from 18.0.0 to be addressed, as well.
    * `exosphère` was updated to reflect the latest official secure monitor behavior.
    * `mesosphère` was updated to reflect the latest official kernel behavior.
    * `loader` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
    * `pm` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
    * `ro` was updated to reflect the latest official behavior.
* `creport`'s file acces patterns were optimized, greatly improving performance when generating a crash report.
* Atmosphère now uses `relr` relocations where possible.
    * This reduces the filesize of a number of atmosphère's modules.
* A number of minor issues were fixed and improvements were made, including:
    * Support was fixed for running Atmosphère on newer units with specific Hynix/Micron DRAM chips.
* General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.
