- Updated all boards and drivers for above changes
- LVGL can now be stopped and (re)started on the fly

Various improvements and new internal APIs including a new Development service+app which allows `tactility.py` to upload and run applications remotely.

- Implemented `FileSelection` app to select existing and/or new files.
- Moved some re-usable file functionality to `tt::file::`
- Renamed `Files` app to `FileBrowser`
- Updated `Notes` app to use new `FileSelection` functionality, and cleaned it up a bit.
- General code cleanliness improvements
- Bump version for next release
- Fix default gamma for CYD 2432S032C
- Remember gamma curve setting from Display settings app
- Add UART to Core2 (still has no voltage on Grove port, though)
- LVGL performance improvements: pin to second core and set task priority to "critical"
- Fix build warnings, including deprecations
- Removed deprecated `Thread` constructor
- Fix WaveShare S3 display: Some displays would show a white screen at 12MHz, so I'm putting it back to the
official config values.
- Replace C function pointers with C++ `std::function` in `Thread`, `Timer` and `DispatcherThread`
- Rename `SystemEvent`-related functions
- WiFi: fix auto-connect when WiFi disconnects from bad signal
- WiFi: fix auto-connect when WiFi fails to auto-connect
- WiFi: implement disconnect() when tapping connected WiFi ap in WiFi management app
- Renamed various keyboard functions so it's easier to differentiate hardware versus software keyboard functionality
- Created `Tactility/lvgl/Keyboard.h` as a proxy for the internal `Gui` service.
- Implemented `tt_lvgl_keyboard.h` in `TactilityC`.
- Improved logging code by splitting functionality up into different files
- Set C++23 as new standard (it was already the implied standard due to some code, but now it's explicit)
- Use `tt::app::` functions to start/stop apps and get current app(context) instead of using loader everywhere
- Removed `tt_service_loader.*` from TactilityC
- Created `tt_app_stop()` for TactilityC
- Bumped version to 0.3.0 to prepare for upcoming release
- Create `Include/` folder for all main projects
- Fix some issues here and there (found while moving things)
- All includes are now in `Tactility/` subfolder and must be included with that prefix. This fixes issues with clashing POSIX headers (e.g. `<semaphore.h>` versus Tactility's `Semaphore.h`)
When writing documentation, I realized how `onStart`/`onStop` isn't clearly communicating what it does (it could imply show/hide), so I renamed it to `onCreate` and `onDestroy`.
- Lots of changes for migrating C code to C++
- Improved `Lockable` in several ways like adding `withLock()` (+ tests)
- Improved `Semaphore` a bit for improved readability, and also added some tests
- Upgrade Linux machine in GitHub Actions so that we can compile with a newer GCC
- Simplification of WiFi connection
- Updated funding options
- (and more)
- unPhone improvements related to power and boot (add boot count logging)
- Cleanup of Mutex acquire/release
- Removed `tt_assert()` in favour of `assert()`
- Fix sim build (likely failed due to migration of GitHub Actions to Ubuntu 24.04)
- Refactor the way apps work: Instead of a C interface, they are now C++ classes. The main reasoning is that attaching data to an app was cumbersome. Having different implementations for different kinds of apps was cumbersome too. (3 or 4 layers of manifest nesting for the TactilityC project)
- External apps are still written in C, but they get a createData/destroyData in their manifest, so:
- External apps now have their own manifest.
- All functions in the original AppManifest are removed and replaced by a single `createApp` function
- External apps now automatically register (each app individually!) when they run the first time. As a side-effect they become visible in the `AppList` app!
- Adapted all apps for the new interface.
- Adapted all internal logic for these changes (Gui, ViewPort, Loader, AppContext, AppInstance, etc.)
- Rewrote parts of Loader to use std::shared_ptr to make the code much safer.
- Added a refcount check for the `AppInstance` and `App` at the end of their lifecycle. Show warning if refcount is too high.
- WiFi Connect app is now hidden by default, but accessible at the bottom of the WiFi Manage app when WiFi is turned on.
- WiFi service now turns on WiFi when calling connect() and WiFi is not on.
- Removed `blocking` option for `service::loader::startApp()`. This feature was unused and complex.
- Various apps: Moved private headers into Private/ folder.
- Various apps: created start() function for easy starting.
- Added documentation to all TactilityC APIs
- Refactored various `enum` into `class enum`
- Refactor M5Stack `initBoot()` (but VBus is still 0V for some reason)
- Various improvements to Thread and Timer:
- Remove "mark as static" option as it is unused
- Implemented core pinning for ESP32 platforms
- Use `TickType_t` consistently (instead of `uint32_t`)
- Use `enum class` instead of `enum`
- Fix for `flash.sh` not working when using `pip` to install `esptool`
I2C:
