## 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 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
Various improvements and new internal APIs including a new Development service+app which allows `tactility.py` to upload and run applications remotely.
- 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
- Implemented `constexpr long int getMicros()` in `Kernel.h`
- Changed `secondsToTicks()`, `minutesToTicks()` and `bool isIsr()` to `constexpr`
- Added more relevant build info
- Bump version for next release
- Fix default gamma for CYD 2432S032C
- Remember gamma curve setting from Display settings app
- Add UART to Core2 (still has no voltage on Grove port, though)
- LVGL performance improvements: pin to second core and set task priority to "critical"
- Fix build warnings, including deprecations
- Removed deprecated `Thread` constructor
- Fix WaveShare S3 display: Some displays would show a white screen at 12MHz, so I'm putting it back to the
official config values.
- Replace C function pointers with C++ `std::function` in `Thread`, `Timer` and `DispatcherThread`
- Rename `SystemEvent`-related functions
- 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)
- Implemented new app: Serial Console
- `Uart::writeString()`: fixed 2 mutex bugs
- `AlertDialog::start()` with default "OK" button added
- Created `tt::lvgl::defaultLockTime` for re-use
- Removed various usages of deprecated `lvgl::obj_set_style_no_padding()`
- Implemented `hal::uart::getNames()` to list all interface names
- Moved all Loader functionality into Loader class
- Improvement for Dispatcher construction
- Dispatcher and DispatcherThread: you can now specify the timeout when calling `dispatch()`. Default timeout is max timeout.
- Fixes and improvements to `GpsSettings` app, `GpsDevice` and `GpsService`
- Implemented location/GPS statusbar icon
- Added app icon
- Added support for other GPS models (based on Meshtastic code)
- Cleanup unused code and move ISR/IRQ checks to `Kernel.h`
- Improve clang-format
- Fix for LVGL lock transfer: ensure lock isn't activate when changing the lock
- Implement SPI HAL
- Remove `initHardware` HAL configuration entry
- Fix `I2cScanner`: don't scan when port isn't started
- Improved logging code by splitting functionality up into different files
- Set C++23 as new standard (it was already the implied standard due to some code, but now it's explicit)
- 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`)
