- Ensure headless mode works: all services that require LVGL can deal with the absence of a display
- Service `onStart()` is now allowed to fail (return `bool` result)
- Added and improved various file-related helper functions
## Improvements
- Completely revamped the SystemInfo app UI
- Improved Calculator UI of internal and external variant
- Fix Chat UI and removed the emoji buttons for now

& more
## New features
- Implement translations for apps
- Created `tt::settings::setLanguage` and `::getLanguage()`
- External app errors are now reported to the user via an AlertDialog
- Store system settings in `/data/settings.properties`
- Created a "Region & Language" app and moved the timezone setting there.
## Other changes
- Change `/data` and `/system` filesystem sector size from 4096 to 512 bytes to allow for more small files (60+ files of 4kB were over the limit of 256kB for the filesystem)
- Increased size of `/data` and `/system`
- Moved `tt::time::*` to `tt::settings`
- Removed the timezone setting from the "Time & Date" setting app
- Reverse encoder direction of Lilygo T-Lora Pager
- Improved partability of `Time.cpp` (removed separate set of functions for PC/sim)
## 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
- Made an external app from internal Calculator app
- Update tactility.py to v1.2.0 (fix bug with selfupdate)
- Added warning to Development service UI
- Add context to `SECURITY.md`
- Split `ObjectFileReader` and `ObjectFileWriter` into separate cpp files
- Fix related to GPS config read errors
- Implemented `LaunchId` to keep track of the apps that are started
- Implemented `FileSelection` app to select existing and/or new files.
- Moved some re-usable file functionality to `tt::file::`
- Renamed `Files` app to `FileBrowser`
- Updated `Notes` app to use new `FileSelection` functionality, and cleaned it up a bit.
- General code cleanliness improvements
- Refactored GPS service and HAL: GPS is no longer part of the HAL configuration. You can now add configure new GPS devices from the GPS settings app.
- T-Deck adds a boot hook to check if a GPS configuration exists and adds it when the config is empty.
- Implemented the concept of ObjectFile to read/write arrays of a raw data type (e.g. struct) to disk.
- Implemented more file utils (e.g. to create all directories of a path)
- 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`)
- 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)
