Today, exactly two years have passed since the first public release of GodMode9 (v0.2.0). This is a small release, intended to commemorate the two year anniversary. First of all, this is what you get:

[new] Override the default font via 0:/gm9/support/font.pbm or 1:/gm9/support/font.pbm
[new] Use full FCRAM for RAM drive on N3DS (thanks @profi200 and @Wolfvak)
[improved] Screenshots can be taken almost everywhere and have a date/time based name
[fixed] Disable writing to write-locked SD cards (thanks @windows-server-2003)
[fixed] Proper handling of UTF-8 filenames
As for the commemorating, a lot has happened since the GodMode9 v0.2.0 release:

889 commits since v0.2.0, 954 commits total, a lot more if you also count commits inside branches and local commits. Don't even try to convert that to manhours.
To date, GodMode9 has been downloaded a total of 662,854 times from Github.
GodMode9's standard binary format has switched from Brahma, over A9LH, to FIRM. As of today, GodMode9 can even be installed as a bootloader and does not require another chainloader at all.
GodMode9 has evolved, from a very simple proof-of-concept ARM9 file browser, to an essential 3DS hacking tool, replacing the inferior (yeah, I know, some of you still think otherwise) Decrypt9.
Thanks to research, some of it directly connected to GodMode9 development, we now understand the 3DS OS better than ever today. (and no, we don't understand all of it yet)
Get further insights into the GodMode9 development history via the GitStats report. Just unpack it to some folder and open index.html in any browser of your choice. (thanks @Wolfvak for this)
Thanks to everyone who has helped to make this possible, including contributors, testers, and users. I won't even try to start a full list here (take a look into the readme credit section for a small, condensed one), just be sure, without you guys nothing of this would have been possible. Thank you all!

As a bonus, stuff to watch out for or give a try if you haven't yet:

@ihaveamac keeps on improving his excellent fuse-3ds script, allowing you to mount 3DS related data on PC, similar to how GodMode9 does it. New release coming up soon.
@Wolfvak has finally released and keeps on improving BAX, a tool allowing you to have animated boot splashes on your console, and a big improvement over his earlier BootAnim9 tool.
fastboot3DS will have a new release soon, including boot splash support and FIRM from FCRAM (A9NC, A9SP) support, plus another frequently requested feature.
@SirNapkin1334 hosts the offical GodMode9 Discord channel, for you to discuss anything GodMode9 related. Invite link here.
Last but not least: GodMode9 development will continue. Possible future improvements are ZIP / PNG support, a config menu and finally getting to zero issues on Github.

1.7.1

There's no major release without a hasty bugfix release following it, I guess. The last one broke the rather important NandManager.gm9 script, so I had to do a bugfix release quick. This is the very short list of what you get in this release:

[new] Fonts can be set as default (find some compatible fonts here)
[improved] Trimmer tool now also works in batch, for multiple files at once
[fixed] NANDmanager.gm9 script working again (thanks @TheGinGear)
Did you know?
GodMode9 offers building CIAs as legit or standard, and you may wonder which one to choose. For purchased titles that you intend to reinstall only to the same console they came from, choose legit. This will include your personal ticket (including identifying info in the ticket) to the CIA. Legit CIAs may not work on other consoles. CIAs that you want to install to other consoles should be build in standard mode instead, which builds a universal ticket and removes identifying info.

The exception to the above rule is system titles, cause system titles always come with a universal, non identifying, legit ticket. You should choose legit for them regardless of their purpose.

1.7.0

Almost 4 months have gone by since the last release, here's a new one for you. This one has a lot of improvements to scripting, but also some goodies for everyone else. This is new:

[new] NANDmanager.gm9 script by @MadScript77 - replaces the old NAND backup / restore scripts
[new] GM9Megascript.gm9 script by @annson24 included in the official repo
[new] Trimmer tool for FIRMs, NAND images, NDS images, NCCH and NCSD
[new] SD formatter tool can now set up multi RedNANDs
[improved] Faster SD read / write speeds, courtesy of @profi200's new sdmmc.c driver
[improved] Cleaned up internal readme (thanks @DMSalesman)
[fixed] Dumping DLCs to CIA (thanks @Steveice10)
[fixed] Don't copy card2 savedata when dumping card2 cartridges
[fixed] Added a workaround for handling SHIFT-JIS in mounted NDS images
[fixed] A whole batch of minor fixes, a lot of them thanks to @windows-server-2003
[scripting] support for ips, bps, bpm patches via applyips, applybps, applybpm commands (thanks @Hyarion-SS!)
[scripting] fget and fset commands (to read / write bytes from a file)
[scripting] sdump command (allows dumping encTitleKeys.bin, decTitleKeys.bin, seeddb.bin
[scripting] keychk command (to allow checking for user input)
[scripting] nextemu command and EMUBASE env var (allows checking and setting the current EmuNAND
[scripting] labelsel -k allows jumping to labels via a keypress
Did you know?
A very helpful feature of GodMode9 that's known by a surprisingly small number of people is the title search. Just press <R+A> on the 1:, 4:, A:, or B: drives to get a nice list of all titles installed on these drives (SysNAND SD titles are found on A:, of course).

1.6.3

Three releases in two weeks? Well, I need a release to replace the v1.6.2 April Fools Edition as most recent release, so here goes v1.6.3. This wouldn't be GodMode9 if there wouldn't be at least some goodies coming with it, so this is new:

[new] Support for PNG (for splashes, script previews, screenshots) (thanks @Wolfvak)
[new] Display the SD FAT volume label in the drives listing
[fixed] Several smaller bugfixes and improvements
[deprecated] Deprecated PCX support in favor of PNG
Script writers, take note that PCX is no more supported. Just convert your existing graphics to PNG and you will be good.

Also, I heard some of you actually liked what the april fools release did, so I added two new FLAVORs to the GodMode9 Makefile: GodMode64 and BrickedMode9.

1.6.2

Well, that was quick. Since the last release, thanks to testers, we found two bugs that could possibly cause exceptions. Although these should be rarely triggered (basically never for most users), a bugfix release is in order. This is new:

[new] Unhappy accidents (just joking, nothing bad will happen)
[fixed] Browsing TADs works again and does not cause exceptions (thanks @knight-ryu12 for the find)
[fixed] Crashes when running H&S injected homebrew (thanks @TurdPooCharger and @annson24)
[misc] Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience
Again, thanks to everyone who sends in bug reports and helps to improve GodMode9.

Additional note: Yes, this is a April fools release. It will randomly switch to one of four "glitched" modes on boot. Don't panic! You can just reboot to try a normal boot again. Also: added an archive with the splashes and fonts.

[new] On verification, offer fixing for badly decrypted NCCH/NCSD
[improved] Much faster scrolling speeds in wordwrapped text view
[improved] Largely improved method of GBA VC save injection (thanks @TurdPooCharger)
[fixed] Fixed the .BPS code in scripting (thanks @Wolfvak)
[fixed] Fixed a crash in the DISA/DIFF handling code (thanks @aspargas2)
[fixed] Actually allow decrypting N3DS NATIVE_FIRM on O3DS
[fixed] Last search drive is back again
[fixed] Cart drive checking (don't show empty when it isn't
[fixed] Notification light handling
