SX1262 is now finally stable due to these key changes:
- Interrupt handling: To circumvent erratum 3.11 level interrupts are utilized.
Unsure if this was actually an issue as only the DIO1 IRQ is installed,
but it should be done nonetheless to avoid problems once more GPIO interrupts are used.
- RadioLib HAL: Use the hooks for beginnig and ending a train of SPI transactions
to lock and reserve the device, making it more reliable. Also, CS handling is removed
as RadioLib manages this manually.
- Board T-Lora Pager: Step down SPI frequency to reasonable rate
- Update ILI9341 driver to v2.0.1
- Lots of code cleanup for apps
- Refactor app "type" into "category" and added flags to the manifest (for show/hide statusbar and for hidden apps)
- Rename some ElfApp-related functionality and improved the way the static data was managed
- Rename "filebrowser" to "files"
- Added cstring functions to tt_init.cpp
- Minor fix in Boot app
- Updated external apps for SDK changes
## Launcher
- Launcher now has optional power button to show
- Launcher layout improvements
- Removed text from Launcher (translations with larger amounts of text did not fit small device formats)
## T-Lora Pager
- Implement power off (created `BQ25896` driver)
- Implemented haptics (created `DRV2605` driver project) and buzz on startup
- Reversed scroll wheel
- Created `TloraEncoder` device and relocated its logic from `TloraKeyboard`
- Disabled SPIRAM test to save 0.5 seconds of boot time (current boot time is very slow)
- Update `ST7796` esp_lcd driver to v1.3.4
- Fixed keyboard bug: delete queue in destructor
- Fixed driver dependencies: Avoiding usage of global static shared_ptr. Properly constructor-inject everywhere, or use `tt::hal::findDevices()`
- I2C configuration is now immutable (you cannot disable it anymore from the I2C Settings app, as it would break crucial drivers)
- Renamed I2C and UART subsystems to "Internal"
## Drivers
- On/off interface added to `PowerDevice`
- Created `tt::hal::Configuration.createDevices`, which is intended to replace all custom create calls for display, keyboard, etc.
- Created `EncoderDevice` as a `Device` subtype
## Other Improvements
- Changed `findDevices(type, function)` into a templatized function.
- Improved SD card mounting
## Fixes
- Show Screenshot app again
- Fixed Statusbar: some updates were allowed to time out and fail silently: When the Statusbar service would do a state update, the LVGL statusbar would never get updated due to this timeout.
- Fixed memory leaks in all `createSdCard()` functions (in most board implementations)
## New
- Read property files with `PropertiesFile`
- Support `boot.properties` so the user can specify the launcher app and an optional app to start after the launcher finishes. (see `BootProperties.cpp`)
- Create registry for CPU affinity and update code to make use of it
- `AppRegistration` and `ServiceRegistration` now also ensure that the `/data` directories always exist for all apps
- `Notes` is now the default app for opening text files. `TextViewer` is removed entirely. Created `tt::app:🎶:start(path)` function.
- WiFi settings moved from NVS to properties file.
- Specify `*.ap.properties` file on the SD card for automatic WiFi settings import on start-up.
- Added `file::getLock(path)` and `file::withLock(path, function)` to do safe file operations on SD cards
## Improvements
- Update TinyUSB to `1.7.6~1`
- Improved `Boot.cpp` code. General code quality fixes and some restructuring to improve readability.
- `tt::string` functionality improvements
- Rename `AppRegistry` to `AppRegistration`
- Rename `ServiceRegistry` to `ServiceRegistration`
- Cleanup in `Notes.cpp`
- `FileTest.cpp` fix for PC
- Created `TestFile` helper class for tests, which automatically deletes files after the test.
- Renamed `Partitions.h` to `MountPoints.h`
- Created `std::string getMountPoints()` function for easy re-use
- Other code quality improvements
- `SdCardDevice`'s `getState()` and `isMounted()` now have a timeout argument
## Fixes
- ELF loading now has a lock so to avoid a bug when 2 ELF apps are loaded in parallel
- Refactored `TouchDevice`: it can now start/stop LVGL separately, and it has an optional `TouchDriver` interface
- Refactored `DisplayDevice`: it can now start/stop LVGL separately, and it has an optional `DisplayDriver` interface
- Updated all boards and drivers for above changes
- LVGL can now be stopped and (re)started on the fly
- Fixed issues with restarting Gui and Statusbar services
- Refactored `Gui` service to be class and renamed `Gui` to `GuiService`
- Fixed `Statusbar` service: forgot to deregister one of the icons
- Updated `esp_lcd_st7701` to v1.1.3
- `lv_textarea_create()` now automatically registers the hardware keyboard hooks (by wrapping the function)
- Fixed and updated `tactility.py`
- Cleanup of a lot of code
- `BootInitLvglBegin` and `BootInitLvglEnd` are replaced by `LvglStarted` and `LvglStopped`.
- Introduced `tt::service::State` which is accessible via `tt::service::getState()` (and internally via `ServiceInstance`)
- Started replacing `#define TAG` with `constexpr auto TAG = "..";`
- Implement CrowPanel Advance 3.5"
- New driver subproject: ILI9488
- New driver subproject: GT911
- Refactor T-Deck to use new driver subproject
- Fix for `flash.ps1`: don't set flash speed
- Implemented [unPhone](https://unphone.net/) v9 board
- Updated `.clang-format` to better reflect the intended code style
- Fix SD card compatibility issues for all boards (frequency wasn't set well)
- Moved `I2cDevice` class from CoreS3 board project to TactilityHeadless project
- Tactility configuration now has default empty lists for apps and services fields
- Fix for Launcher app: we don't need padding when showing it vertically
- Fix for I2cDevice read/write calls that checked for `esp_err_t` instead of `bool`
- Fix for TinyUSB init that checked for `esp_err_t` instead of `bool`
Remove dependencies M5Unified and M5GFX because:
- Sometimes the release doesn't even compile
- The amount of functions is too close to the limit (I recently had to remove some code/dependency to be able to make a build at all)
- Graphics performance issue since last update
- Touch screen performance issues (not perfect yet, but better)
- Compatibility issues with Tactility SPI/I2C versus M5Unified/M5GFX variants.
