If You’re Modded:

There are several components when it comes to a new release. First off, never update your handheld until the newest CFW has released. In terms of that new CFW, this is a sensitive question to answer. We know that the general path to a CFW for the system is through Atmosphere. Once it gets updated, then usually the others take the Atmosphere release and modify it to suit their feature set (SX OS comes to mind). An article will be out shortly discussing Atmosphere for 10.0.0. Stay tuned!
