- Introduce "side" mode for system bar, versus classic statusbar on top with launcher bar below
- Automatic system bar mode detection with override by Kconfig/device.properties and secondary override by user via Appereance settings app
- Open a quick-settings menu from the status bar for available Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and power controls.

- Wi-Fi only refreshes once, so users can navigate with the keyboard through the results, without constently resetting focus/selection. After initial scan, manual scans can be requested via the toolbar.
- Themes: material and material_mono theme don't show post-selection border animation anymore. It looks weird on monochrome devices and it doesn't add anything on other devices either.

- File browsing now opens the configured user-data location by default
- Added missing licenses to subprojects
- Updated README.md screenshots and intro text
**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
New features:
- SDK version 7.0.0 packages include version metadata and platform-specific application settings.
- Apps gain POSIX support for file polling, terminal attributes, and standard input/output, plus additional C and POSIX functions.
- Shell commands can launch installed headless apps using their registered app settings.
- Apps can exit with a status code, and terminal clear commands support clearing from the cursor to the end, from the start through the cursor, or the entire display.
Fixes:
- SDK integration builds locate the build tool reliably and use settings for the selected platform.
- ESP32 file operations handle invalid paths and existing directories more consistently.
Features:

- Statusbar: add support for inverted colors
- e-paper driver improvements and warning fixes
- Implemented gpio_controller_get_level()
- Keyboard support improvements (unicode for tca drivers)
- Standardized keyboard input using Unicode-based key codes across supported devices and the simulator. Keyboards don't emit `LV_KEY_*` anymore.

* Missed one!
* stuff

- Remove unnecessary CS work-around for Cardputers
- Don't compile WifiMock when not necessary
- Fix for running apps on devices without SPIRAM
- Disable backlight dimming by default
- Fix for `sdkconfig` generation: the keys that contained the MCU type in its name weren't properly upper-cased.
- Moved WiFi configuration property files to the user data path of the app instead of a fixed location.
- Moved more properties from `device.py` to `sdkconfig/default.properties`
- Fix for `device.cmake` device id parsing: separate basic property parsing from device id validation

- Changed Wi-Fi service id to lowercase (will change it for other services later)
- Implement generic ESP32 devices
- Updated GitHub Actions to first build the SDKs. These are now based on the generic device implementations and the build act as a filter before compiling the dozens of other devices. It should save on resources when boards fail to compile.
- Adapted code to C6 and P4 differences, heavily borrowed from from https://github.com/ByteWelder/Tactility/pull/394 written by @marciogranzotto, with some changes of my own
- Updated `device.py` to make the `[display]` section optional
- WiFi code cleanup
- When WifiConnect opens and SSID is filled in, automatically focus on the password field
- When no touch screen is present, toolbar close buttons should be automatically selected
- When `device.py` selects a device, print it on screen
