- Added I2C 8 bit register operations
- Added device.properties to simulator
- Improved Tab5 hardware init, implement audio
- Add README.md to kernel
**New Features**
* Runtime font accessors and new symbol fonts for text, launcher, statusbar, and shared icons.

* 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
- Implement SPI devices in dts files for all devices

- Remove unused custom locks in all `DisplayDevice` implementations
- Fixed some bugs with devices
- Updated XPT2046 driver
- Fix for `WifiEsp` deadlock
- Export a lot of new `math.h` symbols with `tt_init.cpp`
- Created `SpiDeviceLock` in `TactilityCore` as a wrapper for kernel SPI locking
- Improved `TactilityKernel` SPI driver.
- Add kernel support for SPI driver
- Add kernel support for UART driver
- Implemented ESP32 UART kernel driver
- Update existing UART-related code in Tactility to use new kernel driver
- Remove UART from tt::hal::Configuration
- Remove tt_hal_uart functionality but keep functions for now
- Update devicetrees for UART changes
- Kernel mutex and recursive mutex: improved locking API design
- Other kernel improvements
- Added device_exists_of_type() and device_find_by_name()
* **New Features**
* Added a standalone LVGL module and enabled LVGL support in the simulator for richer local UI testing.
* **Refactor**
* HAL and LVGL split into distinct modules; startup and device attach/detach flows reorganized for clearer lifecycle management.
* Public APIs tightened with clearer nullability/documentation.
* **Bug Fixes**
* More consistent LVGL start/stop and device attach/detach behavior for improved stability.
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`
- 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
- Add app path get() functions to `TactilityC`
- Improved `Dispatcher` and `DispatcherThread`
- Improved `PubSub` (type safety)
- Created test for `DispatcherThread` and `PubSub`
- Save properties files on app exit (various apps) by posting it to the main dispatcher (fixes UI hanging briefly on app exit)
- Fixed bug with `SystemSettings` being read from the wrong file path.
- `loadPropertiesFile()` now uses `file::readLines()` instead of doing that manually
- Increased timer task stack size (required due to issues when reading a properties file for the very first time)
- General cleanup
- Created `EstimatedPower` driver that uses an ADC pin to measure voltage and estimate the battery charge that is left.
- Cleanup of T-Deck board (updated to new style)
## Launcher
- Launcher now has optional power button to show
- Launcher layout improvements
- Removed text from Launcher (translations with larger amounts of text did not fit small device formats)
## T-Lora Pager
- Implement power off (created `BQ25896` driver)
- Implemented haptics (created `DRV2605` driver project) and buzz on startup
- Reversed scroll wheel
- Created `TloraEncoder` device and relocated its logic from `TloraKeyboard`
- Disabled SPIRAM test to save 0.5 seconds of boot time (current boot time is very slow)
- Update `ST7796` esp_lcd driver to v1.3.4
- Fixed keyboard bug: delete queue in destructor
- Fixed driver dependencies: Avoiding usage of global static shared_ptr. Properly constructor-inject everywhere, or use `tt::hal::findDevices()`
- I2C configuration is now immutable (you cannot disable it anymore from the I2C Settings app, as it would break crucial drivers)
- Renamed I2C and UART subsystems to "Internal"
## Drivers
- On/off interface added to `PowerDevice`
- Created `tt::hal::Configuration.createDevices`, which is intended to replace all custom create calls for display, keyboard, etc.
- Created `EncoderDevice` as a `Device` subtype
## Other Improvements
- Changed `findDevices(type, function)` into a templatized function.
- Improved SD card mounting
## Fixes
- Show Screenshot app again
- Fixed Statusbar: some updates were allowed to time out and fail silently: When the Statusbar service would do a state update, the LVGL statusbar would never get updated due to this timeout.
- Fixed memory leaks in all `createSdCard()` functions (in most board implementations)
