- UiDensity moved to lvgl-module
- Deleted tt_hal and tt_hal_gpio (breaks apps, but will fix those right after merging)
- Added I2C 8 bit register operations
- Added device.properties to simulator
- Improved Tab5 hardware init, implement audio
- Add README.md to kernel
**New Features**
* Runtime font accessors and new symbol fonts for text, launcher, statusbar, and shared icons.
* Added font height base setting to device.properties
* Text fonts now have 3 sizes: small, default, large
**Improvements**
* Renamed `UiScale` to `UiDensity`
* Statusbar, toolbar and many UI components now compute heights and spacing from fonts/density.
* SSD1306 initialization sequence refined for more stable startup.
* Multiple image assets replaced by symbol-font rendering.
* Many layout improvements related to density, font scaling and icon scaling
* Updated folder name capitalization for newer style
* **Refactor**
* GPIO subsystem moved to a descriptor-based model for per-pin ownership and runtime pin management; many platform drivers now acquire/release descriptors.
* Device trees and drivers now use GPIO phandle-style pin specifications across all boards and all drivers.
* **Behavior**
* Device list now encodes per-device status (ok/disabled); boot will skip disabled devices accordingly.
* **Deprecation**
* Legacy GPIO HAL marked deprecated and replaced with descriptor-based interfaces.
* **Chores**
* Bindings and platform configs updated to the new GPIO pin-spec format.
* **DevicetreeCompiler**
* Binding properties now support default values.
* Compiler returns meaningful exit codes and reports errors more clearly.
* Stronger validation of device configurations with unified error handling.
* Added integration tests and a dedicated Devicetree test workflow.
* **Changes**
* Platform binding schemas updated: some fields made required, others gained explicit defaults.
* Many device-tree files simplified by removing unused/placeholder pin and transfer-size entries.
* **Documentation**
* Removed several outdated TODO items.

- Fix for `WifiEsp` deadlock
- Export a lot of new `math.h` symbols with `tt_init.cpp`
- Created `SpiDeviceLock` in `TactilityCore` as a wrapper for kernel SPI locking
- Improved `TactilityKernel` SPI driver.
- Add kernel support for SPI driver
- Add kernel support for UART driver

- Added device_exists_of_type() and device_find_by_name()
* **New Features**
* Added public accessors for querying module/device start and ready state.
* **Refactor**
* Internal state moved to opaque internal objects; module/device/driver initializers now explicitly initialize internal pointers.
* Lifecycle handling updated to construct/destruct internal state and use accessors.
* **Tests**
* Tests updated to use public accessors and explicit construct/destruct lifecycle calls.
* **Chores**
* Test build/include paths and small metadata updated.
* **New Features**
- Adds module symbol support and per-module symbol tables, including LVGL symbol exports moved into a dedicated table.
* **API**
- Adds symbol-resolution APIs and an accessor to enable dynamic lookup between modules.
* **Bug Fixes / Chores**
- Explicitly initializes module symbol pointers across device and platform modules to avoid uninitialized state.
* **Tests**
- Updates tests to account for symbol pointer initialization.
* **New Features**
* Added a standalone LVGL module and enabled LVGL support in the simulator for richer local UI testing.
* **Refactor**
* HAL and LVGL split into distinct modules; startup and device attach/detach flows reorganized for clearer lifecycle management.
* Public APIs tightened with clearer nullability/documentation.
* **Bug Fixes**
* More consistent LVGL start/stop and device attach/detach behavior for improved stability.
Standardised device module identifiers across all supported devices to use consistent naming conventions with lowercase alphanumeric and hyphen-separated formats.
* **New Features**
* Plugin-style modules for platforms and devices with start/stop lifecycle and a runtime-consumable device tree array.
* **Refactor**
* Consolidated initialization into a kernel/module startup flow.
* Generated devicetree artifacts moved to the build Generated directory.
* **Changes**
* Removed legacy no-op registration hooks and I2C lock/unlock wrappers.
* Driver ownership and private state moved to explicit module/owner model.
* Added ERROR_NOT_ALLOWED error code.
Devictree changes:
- Create DTS files for all remaining devices
- Update corresponding `devicetree.yaml`
- Remove `i2c` configuration from corresponding `tt::hal::Configuration`
Apps & HAL:
- Removed I2C Settings (we'll make a new one later after I rework that part of the HAL)
- Delete TactilityC GPIO and I2C functionality
- Delete Related SystemEvent types
- Refactor `tt::hal::i2c` to only use `struct Device*` wrapping
Scripting:
- Fix DevicetreeCompiler boolean parsing
- Create `build-all.py`
**New features**
- Created a devicetree DTS and YAML parser in Python
- Created new modules:
- TactilityKernel (LGPL v3.0 license)
- Platforms/PlatformEsp32 (LGPL v3.0 license)
- Platforms/PlatformPosix (LGPL v3.0 license)
- Tests/TactilityKernelTests
Most boards have a placeholder DTS file, while T-Lora Pager has a few devices attached.
