- Added new board
- Extracted ST7789 driver and backlight PWM driver into separate subprojects
- Refactored T-Deck to use the shared driver modules
- Fix bug in WiFi service: searching for APs was broken
Implemented more consistent naming:
- Moved all HAL devices into their own namespace (and related folder)
- Post-fixed all HAL device names with "Device"
- Implement SD card locking logic and helper functions
- Fix issue with running ELF apps from SD card: this would crash when launched from the AppList
- Reduce Boot app wait time to 1 second
- Speed up boot by about 0.1 second by moving app&service registration to the Boot app
- Files app now uses proper SD card mount point name (and multiple SD cards)
- Removed `TT_SCREENSHOT_MODE`
- Create `Include/` folder for all main projects
- Fix some issues here and there (found while moving things)
- All includes are now in `Tactility/` subfolder and must be included with that prefix. This fixes issues with clashing POSIX headers (e.g. `<semaphore.h>` versus Tactility's `Semaphore.h`)
When writing documentation, I realized how `onStart`/`onStop` isn't clearly communicating what it does (it could imply show/hide), so I renamed it to `onCreate` and `onDestroy`.
- Lots of changes for migrating C code to C++
- Improved `Lockable` in several ways like adding `withLock()` (+ tests)
- Improved `Semaphore` a bit for improved readability, and also added some tests
- Upgrade Linux machine in GitHub Actions so that we can compile with a newer GCC
- Simplification of WiFi connection
- Updated funding options
- (and more)
- unPhone improvements related to power and boot (add boot count logging)
- Cleanup of Mutex acquire/release
- Removed `tt_assert()` in favour of `assert()`
- Fix sim build (likely failed due to migration of GitHub Actions to Ubuntu 24.04)
- Refactor the way apps work: Instead of a C interface, they are now C++ classes. The main reasoning is that attaching data to an app was cumbersome. Having different implementations for different kinds of apps was cumbersome too. (3 or 4 layers of manifest nesting for the TactilityC project)
- External apps are still written in C, but they get a createData/destroyData in their manifest, so:
- External apps now have their own manifest.
- All functions in the original AppManifest are removed and replaced by a single `createApp` function
- External apps now automatically register (each app individually!) when they run the first time. As a side-effect they become visible in the `AppList` app!
- Adapted all apps for the new interface.
- Adapted all internal logic for these changes (Gui, ViewPort, Loader, AppContext, AppInstance, etc.)
- Rewrote parts of Loader to use std::shared_ptr to make the code much safer.
- Added a refcount check for the `AppInstance` and `App` at the end of their lifecycle. Show warning if refcount is too high.
## Time & Date
- Added time to statusbar widget
- Added Time & Date Settings app
- Added TimeZone app for selecting TimeZone
- Added `tt::time` namespace with timezone code
## Other changes
- Added `SystemEvent` to publish/subscribe to system wide (e.g. for init code, but also for time settings changes)
- Changed the way the statusbar widget works: now there's only 1 that gets shown/hidden, instead of 1 instance per app instance.
- Moved `lowercase()` function to new namespace: `tt::string`
- Increased T-Deck flash & PSRAM SPI frequencies to 120 MHz (from 80 MHz)
- Temporary work-around (+ TODO item) for LVGL stack size (issue with WiFi app)
- Suppress T-Deck keystroke debugging to debug level (privacy issue)
- Improved SDL dependency wiring in various `CMakeLists.txt`
- `Loader` service had some variables renamed to the newer C++ style (from previous C style)
- Update `Configuration` to use C++ vector instead of C arrays
- Rename `Desktop` app to `Launcher`
- Fix for hard-coded app start of `Launcher` and `CrashDiagnostics` apps.
- Ensure `Launcher` icons are clickable, even if they're not loading.
- Don't show error scenario for SD card in statusbar when SD card status is unknown (this happens during Mutex timeout due to LVGL rendering delays)
- Cleanup deprecated `Mutex` methods.
- `hal::getConfiguration()` now returns a pointer instead of a reference, just like `tt:getConfiguration()`
- Rename `assets` and `config` partitions to `system` and `data`
- Change partition type from `spiffs` to `fat`, so we can have sub-directories
- Fix crash when doing WiFi scan: Increased system event task size to 3kB.
- Free up IRAM on ESP32 (it was required for the Core2, but I also freed up the same amount for Yellow Board)
- Introduced `Paths` objects that can be retrieved by `AppContext` and `ServiceContext`. Apps and services now have their own relative paths. Assets were re-arranged into the correct paths.
- Rename simulator window title to "Tactility"
- Refactored statusbar widget so it persists icon paths properly (it kept a const char* reference, but didn't copy it, so it crashed when the related std::string was destroyed)
- Created `Partitions.h` to expose some useful variables
- Moved USB config in various `sdkconfig` (it was part of the "default" section, but it shouldn't be)
