- Rename "filebrowser" to "files"
- Added cstring functions to tt_init.cpp
- Minor fix in Boot app
- Updated external apps for SDK changes

& more
- Add app path get() functions to `TactilityC`
- Improved `Dispatcher` and `DispatcherThread`
- Improved `PubSub` (type safety)
- Created test for `DispatcherThread` and `PubSub`
- Save properties files on app exit (various apps) by posting it to the main dispatcher (fixes UI hanging briefly on app exit)
- Fixed bug with `SystemSettings` being read from the wrong file path.
- `loadPropertiesFile()` now uses `file::readLines()` instead of doing that manually
- Increased timer task stack size (required due to issues when reading a properties file for the very first time)
- General cleanup
- Created `EstimatedPower` driver that uses an ADC pin to measure voltage and estimate the battery charge that is left.
- Cleanup of T-Deck board (updated to new style)
## 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

- 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

- Created `std::string getMountPoints()` function for easy re-use
- Other code quality improvements
- `SdCardDevice`'s `getState()` and `isMounted()` now have a timeout argument

- 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

- Introduced `tt::service::State` which is accessible via `tt::service::getState()` (and internally via `ServiceInstance`)
- Started replacing `#define TAG` with `constexpr auto TAG = "..";`
- Replace C function pointers with C++ `std::function` in `Thread`, `Timer` and `DispatcherThread`

- WiFi: fix auto-connect when WiFi disconnects from bad signal
- WiFi: fix auto-connect when WiFi fails to auto-connect
- WiFi: implement disconnect() when tapping connected WiFi ap in WiFi management app
- 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)
- Fixes and improvements to `GpsSettings` app, `GpsDevice` and `GpsService`
- Implemented location/GPS statusbar icon
- Added app icon

- Moved all HAL devices into their own namespace (and related folder)
- Post-fixed all HAL device names with "Device"
- 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`)
- 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)
FreeRTOS handles were stored plainly and they were deleted in the destructor of classes.
This meant that if a class were to be copied, the destructor would be called twice on the same handles and lead to double-free.
Seha on Discord suggested to fix this by using `std::unique_ptr` with a custom deletion function.
The changes affect:
- Thread
- Semaphore
- Mutex
- StreamBuffer
- Timer
- MessageQueue
- EventFlag
Thread changes:
- Removal of the hack with the `Data` struct
- Thread's main body is now just a private static function inside the class.
- The C functions were relocated to static class members
PubSub changes:
- Refactored pubsub into class
- Renamed files to `PubSub` instead of `Pubsub`
- `PubSubSubscription` is now a private inner struct and `PubSub` only exposes `SubscriptionHandle`
Lockable, ScopedLockable, Mutex:
- Added `lock()` method that locks indefinitely
- Remove deprecated `acquire()` and `release()` methods
- Removed `TtWaitForever` in favour of `portMAX_DELAY`
- WiFi Connect app is now hidden by default, but accessible at the bottom of the WiFi Manage app when WiFi is turned on.
- WiFi service now turns on WiFi when calling connect() and WiFi is not on.
- Removed `blocking` option for `service::loader::startApp()`. This feature was unused and complex.
- Various apps: Moved private headers into Private/ folder.
- Various apps: created start() function for easy starting.
- Added documentation to all TactilityC APIs
- Refactored various `enum` into `class enum`
- Refactor M5Stack `initBoot()` (but VBus is still 0V for some reason)
- 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)
- Updated domain name
- Create real drivers instead of wrapping M5Unified/M5GFX
- Display HAL improvements (better default base class behaviour)
- Fixed bug with LVGL statusbar service locking (would hang indefinitely waiting for mutex, causing WDT issues)
- Fixes for `Critical.h`
- Fixes and improvements for `Dispatcher` and `DispatcherThread`
