- 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
## New features
- Implemented support for app packaging in firmware and `tactility.py`: load `.app` files instead of `.elf` files. Install apps remotely or via `FileBrowser`.
- Ensure headless mode works: all services that require LVGL can deal with the absence of a display
- Service `onStart()` is now allowed to fail (return `bool` result)
- Added and improved various file-related helper functions
## Improvements
- Completely revamped the SystemInfo app UI
- Improved Calculator UI of internal and external variant
- Fix Chat UI and removed the emoji buttons for now
- Fix for toolbar bottom padding issue in all apps
## Fixes
- Fix for allowing recursive locking for certain SPI SD cards
& more
## New
- Read property files with `PropertiesFile`
- Support `boot.properties` so the user can specify the launcher app and an optional app to start after the launcher finishes. (see `BootProperties.cpp`)
- Create registry for CPU affinity and update code to make use of it
- `AppRegistration` and `ServiceRegistration` now also ensure that the `/data` directories always exist for all apps
- `Notes` is now the default app for opening text files. `TextViewer` is removed entirely. Created `tt::app::notes::start(path)` function.
- WiFi settings moved from NVS to properties file.
- Specify `*.ap.properties` file on the SD card for automatic WiFi settings import on start-up.
- Added `file::getLock(path)` and `file::withLock(path, function)` to do safe file operations on SD cards
## Improvements
- Update TinyUSB to `1.7.6~1`
- Improved `Boot.cpp` code. General code quality fixes and some restructuring to improve readability.
- `tt::string` functionality improvements
- Rename `AppRegistry` to `AppRegistration`
- Rename `ServiceRegistry` to `ServiceRegistration`
- Cleanup in `Notes.cpp`
- `FileTest.cpp` fix for PC
- Created `TestFile` helper class for tests, which automatically deletes files after the test.
- Renamed `Partitions.h` to `MountPoints.h`
- Created `std::string getMountPoints()` function for easy re-use
- Other code quality improvements
- `SdCardDevice`'s `getState()` and `isMounted()` now have a timeout argument
## Fixes
- ELF loading now has a lock so to avoid a bug when 2 ELF apps are loaded in parallel
- Refactored `TouchDevice`: it can now start/stop LVGL separately, and it has an optional `TouchDriver` interface
- Refactored `DisplayDevice`: it can now start/stop LVGL separately, and it has an optional `DisplayDriver` interface
- Updated all boards and drivers for above changes
- LVGL can now be stopped and (re)started on the fly
- Fixed issues with restarting Gui and Statusbar services
- Refactored `Gui` service to be class and renamed `Gui` to `GuiService`
- Fixed `Statusbar` service: forgot to deregister one of the icons
- Updated `esp_lcd_st7701` to v1.1.3
- `lv_textarea_create()` now automatically registers the hardware keyboard hooks (by wrapping the function)
- Fixed and updated `tactility.py`
- Cleanup of a lot of code
- `BootInitLvglBegin` and `BootInitLvglEnd` are replaced by `LvglStarted` and `LvglStopped`.
- Introduced `tt::service::State` which is accessible via `tt::service::getState()` (and internally via `ServiceInstance`)
- Started replacing `#define TAG` with `constexpr auto TAG = "..";`
- 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
- 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`.
- 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)
## Time & Date
- Added time to statusbar widget
- Added Time & Date Settings app
- Added TimeZone app for selecting TimeZone
- Added `tt::time` namespace with timezone code
## Other changes
- Added `SystemEvent` to publish/subscribe to system wide (e.g. for init code, but also for time settings changes)
- Changed the way the statusbar widget works: now there's only 1 that gets shown/hidden, instead of 1 instance per app instance.
- Moved `lowercase()` function to new namespace: `tt::string`
- Increased T-Deck flash & PSRAM SPI frequencies to 120 MHz (from 80 MHz)
- Temporary work-around (+ TODO item) for LVGL stack size (issue with WiFi app)
- Suppress T-Deck keystroke debugging to debug level (privacy issue)
- Improved SDL dependency wiring in various `CMakeLists.txt`
- `Loader` service had some variables renamed to the newer C++ style (from previous C style)
