**Fonts**
Dynamically load text and icon fonts when the device boots.
Font bitdepth depends on whether the device is an ESP32 one and whether it has external RAM available.
When no external RAM is available on ESP32, only small and medium font variants are generated; large font variants refer to the medium size ones.
Implemented Appearance settings app for changing font and font size.
**Other changes**
- Added keyboard shortcuts to delete or rename files in directory views.
- Improved app-grid tile sizing to provide more room for labels.
- Reduced the default LED strip brightness.
Graphics & rendering
- Implement `binfont-module` to generate bitmap fonts on the device itself
- Remove lodepng support from LVGL library and create `Modules/lodepng-module` to make the feature re-usable in non-LVGL apps too. Add binding functions for LVGL support.
- Implement large icons for boot screen (Tactility and USB logos)
- Remove unused asset files in `Data/`
Boot
- Split up `Tactility.cpp` and its `run()` function into various `Init*.cpp` files.
- Re-implement `Boot.cpp` app as non-LVGL app
- Boot app now has a `BootSequence.cpp` for the init code.
- LVGL is now started when the Boot app finishes
- Move more init logic into Boot app
BLE
- Don't allocate scan result buffers unless BLE is on
- Allocate scan results in external memory if possible
UX & UI
- USB Settings app: remove border from the button container
- Implement double size icon assets in `lvgl-module`
- `AppList` and `Settings` app now show a paginated grid of icons
- T-Lora Pager gets a larger font to improve readability (14 -> 16 pixels)
- Improve default widget selection in several apps (`PowerOff`, `AlertDialog`, `AppList`, `Settings`, `Boot`)
- USB HID LVGL device is now only created when necessary. And the code is called in a safer way.
- Renamed “Region & Language” to “Locale.”
- The terminal toolbar is shown only when pointer input is available.
Features:
- Implemented terminal app based on BreezyBox
- Implemented shell based on BreezyBox
- Added font-module with fixed-width fonts
Improvements:
- Improved application standard-output and error-output routing, including dynamically loaded applications.
- Updated shared icons and Material Symbols mappings.
- Other improvements & fixes
- Standardized keyboard input using Unicode-based key codes across supported devices and the simulator. Keyboards don't emit `LV_KEY_*` anymore.
- Refactored lilygo encoder driver into a reusable GPIO rotary encoder driver (see `Drivers/gpio-encoder-module/`). Added more features to the config file.
- Improved LVGL keyboard device management, including duplicate prevention and reliable reconnects.
- LVGL file mutex now registers with lvgl start/stop
- Improved LVGL startup/shutdown stability and memory allocation reliability.
- Increased simulator LVGL memory capacity and improved USB device-class handling.
- And Tab5 keyboard improvements
- Usb host keyboard improvements
- Symbols
- Requires the device.py change from CL-32 PR but that only affects visuals and not build breaking
- Fix BluetoothSettings app not updating when toggling on Bluetooth on
- Fix BluetoothSettings app crash when closing while scanning
- Fix BluetoothSettings app crash when turning BT off while scanning
- WebServer doesn't save config anymore as a side-effect of reading the config
- Add missing license headers
- Use TactilityKernel's time and delay functions instead of TactilityFreeRtos ones
- Added generic GPS/GNSS support with device detection, configuration, and persistent settings.
- Improved device and module lifecycle management.
- Added flexible filesystem locking support for displays and storage.
- Improved display-idle and keyboard backlight handling.
- Updated architecture, driver, module, testing, and licensing documentation.
- Removed old HAL device and related code.
- RGB display driver added
- display_driver API:
- Added software-based display rotation for screens without hardware rotation support.
- Improved display capability detection across supported display drivers.
- lvgl_display driver:
- Improved framebuffer handling for smoother, more reliable display updates.
- Display gap and rotation behavior now adapts more accurately to hardware capabilities.
- Migration Crowpanel 5" basic & advance to kernel drivers
- Improve KernelDisplay app: brightness controls are hidden for displays that only support on/off operation
- device.py now allows for (non-ambiguous) partial device IDs
- TactilityKernel: Implement more tests
- Added kernel base drivers for: display, pointer (touch, mouse, etc.), keyboard, adc, power supply and backlight
- Implement new kernel driver modules: `st7789-module` and `gt911-module`
- Implement ESP32 ADC "oneshot" kernel driver
- Implement ESP32 backlight kernel driver with ledc API
- Implemented `battery-sense` driver that allows for voltage measurement and creates a power supply child device
- Updated github actions
- Updated flash scripts
- Fix for esp32 legacy driver conflict with ADC
- Created separate `lilygo-tdeck` and `lilygo-tdeck-plus` devices
- Created `lilygo-module` with LilyGO kernel drivers
- Fix for intermittent errors in build related to code generation of `devicetree.c`
- `lvgl-module` can now map kernel drivers onto LVGL devices
- Created `KernelDisplayApp` as a mirror of `HalDisplayApp` (formerly `DisplayApp`)
- Removed `struct` and `enum` prefix in a lot of kernel driver cpp source files
- `lilygo-tdeck` and `lilygo-tdeck-plus` are now fully relying on kernel drivers and don't use any of the old HAL
* Bluetooth LE addition
* fixes
* use the psram!
helps a little on S3 (t-deck)
* custom device name
* Update symbols.c
* Feedback + fixes
Fixes external app start/stop server (child devices)
Fixes BtManage causing a full system hang upon disabling bt when a device is connected to the host.
* updoot
* more updoot
* move back!
* Revert "move back!"
This reverts commit d3694365c634acc5db62ac59771c496cb971a727.
* fix some of the things
* Addressing feedback? hmm
* Fixes
Bug 1 — Reconnect loop / Reconnect not working fixed
Bug 2 — Name-only advertising overwrites HID advertising
Bug 3 — BleHidDeviceCtx leak on re-enable
Enhancement — HID device auto-start on radio re-enable
* stuff...
* update for consistency with others
* fix crashes
and some bonus symbols
* a few symbols, i2c speed, cdn message
100kHz i2c speed seems to be more compatible with m5stack modules...and probably in general.
cdn message no longer applies
* Hide BT Settings when bt not enabled
* Addressing things and device fixes
* Missed one!
* stuff

* 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
