libnx 4.0.0
The efforts they implement are numerous but this particularly involves the proposal of all-in-one libraries which are supposed to facilitate the work of the developers of hombrews.
The biggest proposal is made by fincs with libnx which unveils version 4.0 of its program with a stratospheric changelog.
Changelog Version 4.0.0
#### systemDownload : libnx 4.0.0
* **Added support for the light event synchronization primitive** (needs [4.0.0+] or mesosphère).
* **The virtmem API was completely redesigned** to support ASLR and increase thread safety.
