* **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**
* Expanded public device and driver APIs (accessors, sync, lifecycle, binding) and a module construct+start helper.
* Added kernel symbol registry and new exported symbols (lvgl, C++ nothrow, I2S APIs, additional math funcs).
* **Refactor**
* Renamed device traversal APIs for consistency (device_for_each*).
* Moved inline helpers to explicit public declarations.
* **Chores**
* Replaced several shell release scripts with Python-based SDK release tooling.
* **Style**
* Header naming consistency fixes.
* **New Features**
* Centralized module management with global symbol resolution
* Level-aware logging with colored prefixes and millisecond timestamps
* **Breaking Changes**
* ModuleParent hierarchy and getModuleParent() removed
* Logging API and adapter model replaced; LogLevel-driven log_generic signature changed
* **Improvements**
* Unified, simplified module registration across build targets
* Tests updated to reflect new module lifecycle and global symbol resolution
* **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 HAL device module providing device enumeration, type queries and a HAL↔kernel bridge.
* **Improvements**
* Integrated HAL module into startup; standardized module names, includes and lifecycle logging; safer file append behavior; broader build support.
* **API Changes**
* Driver lifecycle now uses explicit add/remove semantics; C and HAL device type/lookup APIs clarified.
* **Chores**
* Added module README and Apache‑2.0 license; updated build configuration to include the new module.
* **Fixes**
* Updated tests and object file handling to behave correctly.
* **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.
