**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* Removed several outdated TODO items.
* **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.
* **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.
**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.
**Licenses**
Clarified licenses and copyrights better.
- Add explanation about the intent behind them.
- Added explanation about licenses for past and future subprojects
- Added more details explanations with regards to the logo usage
- Copied licenses to subprojects to make it more explicit
- Added `AppHub` app
- Added `AppHubDetails` app
- Added `cJSON` dependency
- Renamed `AppSim` module to `FirmwareSim`
- Added extra `tt::app::alertdialg::start()`
- Renamed `addApp()`, `removeApp()`, `findAppById()` and `getApps()` to `addAppManifest()`, `removeAppManifest()`, `findAppManifestById()` and `getAppManifests()`
- Added `tt::lvgl::toolbar_clear_actions()`
- Added `tt::network::EspHttpClient` as a thread-safe wrapper around `esp_http_client`
- Added `tt::network::http::download()` to download files
- Added `tt::network::ntp::isSynced()`
- When time is synced, the timestamp is stored in NVS flash. On boot, it is restored. This helps SSL connections when doing a quick reset: when WiFi reconnects, the user doesn't have to wait for NTP sync before SSL works.
- Added `tt::json::Reader` as a `cJSON` wrapper
- Added `int64_t` support for `Preferences`
- Added `int64_t` support for `Bundle`
- Added dependencies: `cJSON`, `esp-tls`
- When time is synced via NTP, disable time sync.
- Added docs to 'tt::file::` functions
- Added `tt::string::join()` that works with `std::vector<const char*>`
- Fixed `tt::file::getLastPathSegment()` for the scenario when a path was passed with only a single segment
- Set `CONFIG_ESP_MAIN_TASK_STACK_SIZE=5120` (from about 3k) for all boards
- Set `CONFIG_MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3=y` for all boards
