- 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.
- Added modular device support and devicetree bindings for ILI9341, ILI9488, CST816S, XPT2046, and GPIO button input, updating several board configurations for display/touch/backlight/keyboard/battery.
- Added a setting to control deprecated HAL usage (device property + Kconfig).
* Tab5 camera + other stuff
Tab5 camera driver - SC2356
Custom SliderBox widget - slider with plus and minus buttons + value label and snapping
Rtc Time service + rtc api
Sdk release - only include drivers built for that specific target, eg: sc2356 driver is mipi / p4 only.
No more hardcoded manual sdk cmakelists
New function to find device by compatible string match. no more static cast bool wildness when trying to match a single device (like M5Stack PaperS3 for example)
* feedback + fixes
Fixed external app user data path.
fix(gui): block app teardown until onHide() completes, preventing ELF unload racing a still-running app
added camera device type and api
* drain the snake sssem

- Disable BlueTooth driver by default, to ensure it doesn't allocate memory
- Update BlueTooth settings app behaviour to make sure it starts/stops the devices
- Disable SPI RAM usage for ST7789 as it broke App Hub
- Reduce T-Display and T-Deck display buffers from 1/3rd to 1/10th of resolution
- Enabled dynamic buffers for MbedTLS to optimize memory
- TLS 1.3 did not work with dynamic buffers: downgrade to 1.2 for now
- WiFi is now enabled from the Boot app callback to the WiFi service, instead of the WiFi service start() function. This avoids a lockup when WiFi is started by the service while the Boot app is updating the WiFi settings.
- New drivers:
- SD SPI
- spi_peripheral
- touch_placeholder
- display_placeholder
- Devicetree compiler:
- Implement phandle-arrays
- Implement device addresses
- Add placeholder drivers to all devices with a SPI display
- SPI driver: add `cs-pins` and set them to high on driver start
- FileSystem: add `file_system_set_owner()` and `file_system_get_owner()`
- File locking is now checking if the related `FileSystem` is part of a shared SPI bus
- Add `device_get_child_count()`
- SDMMC driver: Remove default of `slot` value
- Fix for Crowpanel Basic 3.5" display (add delay to booting)
- Fix for LilyGO T-HMI SD card mounting (delayed mounting by disabling it initially in the dts)
**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
