### 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)`
- Cleanup of `AppList` app code
- Improve `Gpio` app for small screen devices
- 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
- Move various settings to `/data/settings` and `/sdcard/settings`
- Fix for `Gui` and `Statusbar` errors on startup (LVGL start)
- Implement Development service settings as properties file
- Rename `service::findManifestId()` to `service::findManifestById()`
- Renamed various classes like `BootProperties` to `BootSettings`
- Renamed `settings.properties` to `system.properties`. Code was moved to `settings` namespace/folder
- `DevelopmentSettings` is now in `settings` namespace/folder (moved from service)
## 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
4848S040C:
- Fix SD card CS pin setting for
- Fixes for colour
- Implement PwmBacklight driver
Other:
- Fix for TouchDevice type
- Show landscape launcher for square displays
- 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)
- 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.
- Implemented [unPhone](https://unphone.net/) v9 board
- Updated `.clang-format` to better reflect the intended code style
- Fix SD card compatibility issues for all boards (frequency wasn't set well)
- Moved `I2cDevice` class from CoreS3 board project to TactilityHeadless project
- Tactility configuration now has default empty lists for apps and services fields
- Fix for Launcher app: we don't need padding when showing it vertically
- Fix for I2cDevice read/write calls that checked for `esp_err_t` instead of `bool`
- Fix for TinyUSB init that checked for `esp_err_t` instead of `bool`
- 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()`
