* **New Features**
* Added public accessors for querying module/device start and ready state.
* **Refactor**
* Internal state moved to opaque internal objects; module/device/driver initializers now explicitly initialize internal pointers.
* Lifecycle handling updated to construct/destruct internal state and use accessors.
* **Tests**
* Tests updated to use public accessors and explicit construct/destruct lifecycle calls.
* **Chores**
* Test build/include paths and small metadata updated.
* **New Features**
* Phandle support for device-to-device property references.
* Recognition of #define-style declarations in device trees.
* Device nodes may include optional aliases alongside node names.
* **Improvements**
* Flatter, consistent device hierarchy processing for generation.
* Error and log messages now reference node names for clearer diagnostics.
* **Other**
* Added a static ESP32-based device tree and minor DTS comment updates.
* **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.
Devictree changes:
- Create DTS files for all remaining devices
- Update corresponding `devicetree.yaml`
- Remove `i2c` configuration from corresponding `tt::hal::Configuration`
Apps & HAL:
- Removed I2C Settings (we'll make a new one later after I rework that part of the HAL)
- Delete TactilityC GPIO and I2C functionality
- Delete Related SystemEvent types
- Refactor `tt::hal::i2c` to only use `struct Device*` wrapping
Scripting:
- Fix DevicetreeCompiler boolean parsing
- Create `build-all.py`
* **Documentation**
* Added new C coding style guide detailing naming conventions for files, directories, macros, constants, variables, functions, and type definitions with illustrative examples.
* Updated C++ coding style documentation with clarifications on C naming conventions and header directory organization patterns.
* **Refactor**
* Updated header include paths throughout the codebase to use lowercase naming conventions consistently.
**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
