* **New Features**
* Time and delay utilities added (ticks, ms, µs); SD card now uses an expansion-header CS pin; HTTP downloads warn when run on the GUI task and yield to avoid blocking.
* **Bug Fixes / Reliability**
* Many hard-crash paths converted to guarded checks to reduce abrupt termination and improve stability.
* **Tests**
* Unit tests added to validate time and delay accuracy.
* **Chores**
* License header and build/macro updates.
- `TT_LOG_*` macros are replaced by `Logger` via `#include<Tactility/Logger.h>`
- Changed default timezone to Europe/Amsterdam
- Fix for logic bug in unPhone hardware
- Fix for init/deinit in DRV2605 driver
- Other fixes
- Removed optimization that broke unPhone (disabled the moving of heap-related functions to flash)
## App state
Improved app state management in `LoaderService` and `GuiService`:
- Re-ordered some of the state transitions
- Hardened `GuiService` for repeated events (that might trigger a re-render of an app that's already rendered)
- Validate state transitions in `LoaderService` and crash if an app transitions from the wrong state to the next one.
## LoaderService
- Removed `tt::loader::` functions and expose `LoaderService` interface publicly.
- Implement `stopAll()` and `stopAll(id)` which stops all instances of an app, including any apps that were launched by it.
- Rename `stop()` functions to `stopTop()`
- Created `stopTop(id)` which only stops the top-most app when the app id matches.
- Moved `loader::LoaderEvent` to `loader::LoaderService::Event`
- Changed app instance `std::stack` to `std::vector`
## Improvements
- `ElfApp`: error 22 now shows a hint that `main()` might be missing
- Starting, installing and uninstalling apps now stops any running app (and its children) on the stack
## Bugfixes
- `HttpdReq` out of memory issue now shows an error message and doesn't crash anymore (this would happen on devices without PSRAM with WiFi active, when an app was installed)
- `GuiService::hideApp()` lock should not wait for timeout and now waits indefinitely
- `Buildscript/release-sdk-current.sh` deletes the previous local release before building a new one
## Code correctness
- App classes were made `final`
- Apps that had a `void start()` now have a `LaunchId start()`
- `tt::app::State`: renamed `Started` to `Created` and `Stopped` to `Destroyed` to properly reflect earlier name changes
- Refactor `AppManifest`: add new fields and rename existing ones
- Parse and validate the manifest from an app that is being installed.
- Remove deprecated `scoped()` from `Lock`
- Create `Tactility/Paths.h`
- App loading at boot now properly parses the manifest files of external apps
- Properly lock both source and destination locations during app install
- Remove LVGL path variants from `AppPaths` and `ServicePaths`
- Removed `xPath` base classes for apps and services. There's now `AppPaths` and `ServicePaths`.
- Renamed app and service paths: "data" and "system" paths are now "user data" and "assets"
- Update ILI9341 driver to v2.0.1
- Lots of code cleanup for apps
- Refactor app "type" into "category" and added flags to the manifest (for show/hide statusbar and for hidden apps)
- Rename some ElfApp-related functionality and improved the way the static data was managed
- Rename "filebrowser" to "files"
- Added cstring functions to tt_init.cpp
- Minor fix in Boot app
- Updated external apps for SDK changes
- Implement `UiScale` in `hal::Configuration`: small screens with no touch can now opt for a more optimized experience (e.g. Cardputer, Waveshare 1.47, Waveshare 1.3", etc.)
- Fix for Cardputer UART configuration and added I2C configuration
- Fix for software keyboard bug in Gui
- Removed deprecated fields from `hal::Configuration`
- Updated the simulator devices to use the new HAL config
- add `bool tt::hal::hasDevice(Device::Type)`
- Cleanup of `AppList` app code
- Improve `Gpio` app for small screen devices
- Added various ESP32 GCC wrappers to wrap LVGL functions (with manipulations for small screen devices)
- Moved `Launcher` assets to `assets/` subfolder
- Optimized `Toolbar` for small screen devices
- Stop showing `system/` partition in `FileBrowser` because it's read-only and not very useful. Created `config::SHOW_SYSTEM_PARTITION` to override this behaviour.
- Hide apps when their required hardware isn't available (I2C, UART, PowerDevice)
- Fix for `CYD-2432S032C` DPI setting
- 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.
- 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`)
- 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)
- Fix glitch when turning on WiFi: It would temporarily show "No networks found" right before starting the first scan.
- Fix spinner to use Assets.h
- Replace statusbar battery icons
- Better statusbar icon for when WiFi is on but not connected
- Replace statusbar WiFi icons and Wifi Manage RSSI/lock icons
- Fix for crash when timer is null in I2cScanner
- Deprecate Spacer
- Fixes for toolbar layout (simplified)
- Improved ImageViewer app: center image and add filename text on the bottom
- Add LV debug params to sdkconfig.developer
- Disabled LV spinner, msgbox and window widgets. These have equivalents in Tactility.
