### Cardputer:
- Fix keyboard issue with up/down button conflict when selecting switch
- Fix backlight flickering
### UI improvements
- Removed a 3 pixel border that went around the entire desktop environment
- Improved system layout (GuiService)
- Statusbar: improved layout (mainly margin/padding)
- Toolbar: fixed margin/padding of all buttons, fixed alignment of all content
- Improved layout/UI of many apps
### Other
- Update LVGL to 9.3.0 official release (was dev version)
- Implement `UiScale` in `hal::Configuration`: small screens with no touch can now opt for a more optimized experience (e.g. Cardputer, Waveshare 1.47, Waveshare 1.3", etc.)
- Fix for Cardputer UART configuration and added I2C configuration
- Fix for software keyboard bug in Gui
- Removed deprecated fields from `hal::Configuration`
- Updated the simulator devices to use the new HAL config
- add `bool tt::hal::hasDevice(Device::Type)`

- Added various ESP32 GCC wrappers to wrap LVGL functions (with manipulations for small screen devices)
- Moved `Launcher` assets to `assets/` subfolder
- Optimized `Toolbar` for small screen devices
- Stop showing `system/` partition in `FileBrowser` because it's read-only and not very useful. Created `config::SHOW_SYSTEM_PARTITION` to override this behaviour.
- Hide apps when their required hardware isn't available (I2C, UART, PowerDevice)
- Fix for `CYD-2432S032C` DPI setting
## New features
- Implemented support for app packaging in firmware and `tactility.py`: load `.app` files instead of `.elf` files. Install apps remotely or via `FileBrowser`.
- 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
- Fix for toolbar bottom padding issue in all apps
## Fixes
- Fix for allowing recursive locking for certain SPI SD cards
& more
## 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
- 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
- Use `tt::app::` functions to start/stop apps and get current app(context) instead of using loader everywhere
- Removed `tt_service_loader.*` from TactilityC
- Created `tt_app_stop()` for TactilityC
- Bumped version to 0.3.0 to prepare for upcoming release
- 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`)
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`
- 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.
- 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)
