[Feature Request] Use splGetConfig(); to get Atmosphere version

[moldimolt]

Under Atmosphere, splGetConfig(); will return Atmosphere version and commit hash. This would allow atmosphere-updater to detect whether Atmosphere is up to date or not and tell the user if they try to update. For hekate I don't believe an equivalent solution exists, perhaps you could store a hash list of hekate releases and check the SHA256 hash of /bootloader/update.bin and see if it matches any known hashes.

Thanks! I was meaning to add this to the previous release, just didn’t have enough time sadly (wanted to push full support for hekate first). I’ll try and this tomorrow, thank you again for the suggestion!

[moldimolt]

No problem! Thanks! If you plan to add this to hekate as well in the way I described, here's every CTCaer hekate.bin SHA256 hash (could do this on the fly for future releases and store in /switch/atmosphere-updater/hashes.txt or similar):

[KranKRival]

i have added a start point for this in my pr now tool reads horizon and atmosphere versions

next step is add version checker functionality

[ITotalJustice]

Latest release now has firmware / atmosphere version display. I do plan to add a check for the latest atmosphere release upon starting the app also. Will add it either later today or tomorrow when I have some more free time 😄

[noirscape]

Hekate does have build in version checking for update.bin related stuff.

I'm not too sure how you'd access it though.
