• 26 December 2016 Dazzozo released an update to humblehax with 11.2.0-35 support.

• 22 September 2016 Shiny Quagsire released an update to supermysterychunkhax with 11.1.0-34 support.

• 13 September 16 Nintendo released system update 11.1.0-34.
• 20 August 16 Yellows8 released hblauncher_loader v1.2, menuhax v3.1, and updated the starter-kit. The sploit_installer build from the starter-kit now supports all regions for stickerhax except CHNTWN. This also sends the Home Menu title-version for the initial *hax payload network request, unless the user changed the system-info(like the latest menuhax_manager and hblauncher_loader).
• 9 August 16 An updated version of USA SmileBASIC is now available(the updated JPN version was released exactly 2 weeks ago).
• 29 July 16 Yellows8 released stickerhax, which supports <=11.0.0-33.
• 27 July 16 Yellows8 released new browserhax(see changelog here) and menuhax v3.0, all of these now support 11.0.0-33.
• 26 July 16 Various JPN-only eShop app updates were released. This includes JPN SmileBASIC: the update-title was removed from versionlist, and the main-title was updated. Updating an already installed version of the game will currently update to 3.3.1. Uninstalling and redownloading will give you 3.3.2. smilehax was fixed in 3.3.2.
• 22 July 16 Dazzozo released humblehax v2, supporting the Citizens of Earth update released on the eShop 3 days ago.
• 20 July 16 plutoo (with help from Yellows8) released smilehax.
• 19 July 16 An updated version of the EUR "Citizens of Earth" regular-title is now available on the EUR-eShop, ~2 months after being originally removed. Likewise for USA on the 21st.
• 18 July 16 Smea updated the hosted *hax payload builds(only otherapp for non-KOR) and this page. KOR is now supported thanks to d3m3vilurr(system-version >=v9.6). All otherapp payloads were rebuilt+updated, hence these now include a commit for compression(committed by Yellows8 with compression code by mtheall). Due to this, oot3dhax+payload can now be installed with multiple other normal save-files, without any issues(via sploit_installer from the starter-kit). Yellows8 also updated the hosted boot.3dsx to hbmenu 1.1.1.
• 10 July 16 MrNbaYoh released BASICSploit for version 3.2.1 of SmileBASIC. Currently only the US version is supported. On July 11th the main-app title was removed from USA/JPN eShop: it's no longer listed on the former, while on the latter it can't be purchased.
• 26 June 16 Yellows8 released oot3dhax builds for supporting 11.0.0-33, via updated sploit_installer in the starter-kit and raw saveimages. Note that attempting to run sploit_installer on a 11.0.0-33 system with *hax payload <=v2.7 is equivalent to trying to use the older oot3dhax on that version.
• 3 June 16 plutoo released freakyhax. The USA game was removed from the eShop <=3-hours later("... currently unavailable" message).
• 9 May 16 Nintendo released system update 11.0.0-33.
• 24 March 16 Nintendo updated the pages stored on the server used for browser-version-check. Due to almost all of the Old3DS/New3DS pages for non-latest-browser being updated(content is now "99999"), browser versions prior to 10.7.0-32 are not usable anymore without using the browser-version-check bypass(fixed with 10.7.0-32). The only exception is New3DS v10.2, it was "updated" but the content is still "0"(this is due to browser-version-check being broken with New3DS v10.2).
• 22 March 16 Yellows8 released ctr-httpwn. v1.0.1 was released on the 25th for a RootCA cert update.
• 14 March 16 Nintendo released system update 10.7.0-32.
• 24-25 February 16 On the 24th the Old3DS browser-version-check pages were updated so that browser version >=v10.6 is now required. The New3DS pages for this were not changed. About 5 hours later, Yellows8 disclosed a bypass for the browser-version-check. User instructions are available here, details here.
• 22 February 16 Nintendo released system update 10.6.0-31.
• 1 February 16 As of this date (time zones notwithstanding) following server maintenance Nintendo now checks server-side that users are on current firmware before allowing access to online functionality in games. See here for details.
• 25 January 16 Nintendo released system update 10.5.0-30.
• 25 January 16 Yellows8 updated browserhax, menuhax, and the oot3dhax saveimages for v10.4.
• 18 January 16 Nintendo released system update 10.4.0-29.
• 7 January 16 (roughly, not automatically detected) Ironfall v1.0 is no longer downloadable due to the main-CXI content files on CDN being removed (TMD wasn't removed).
• 27 December 15 A 3DS console hacking talk was at 32C3. A recording can be found here. Around the end of the talk, Yellows8 released browserhax and menuhax compatible with the latest system-version at the time of release (10.3.0-28). The homebrew starter-kit was updated for latest menuhax, and for an option for downloading the old vulnerable version of Ironfall from eShop.
• 15 December 15 Nintendo released Smash Bros update v1.1.3 which fixed smashbroshax, see here for details. However, smashbroshax is still possible on latest firmware: simply remove the update from SD card before attempting the exploit.

• 25 November 15 Yellows8 released hblauncher_loader.

• 26 October 15 A dummy web browser is now being included in CUPs (cart updates) on Old3DS/New3DS likely starting with games shipping 9.9.0-X. NVer is not updated by this.
• 26 October 15 The system web-browser on Old3DS/New3DS now displays a "sysupdate required" message on systems with 9.9.0-26 or above installed, if the installed browser(?) is not the latest version. See here for details.
