* **New Features**
* Centralized module management with global symbol resolution
* Level-aware logging with colored prefixes and millisecond timestamps
* **Breaking Changes**
* ModuleParent hierarchy and getModuleParent() removed
* Logging API and adapter model replaced; LogLevel-driven log_generic signature changed
* **Improvements**
* Unified, simplified module registration across build targets
* Tests updated to reflect new module lifecycle and global symbol resolution
* **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.
* **New Features**
* Added a HAL device module providing device enumeration, type queries and a HAL↔kernel bridge.
* **Improvements**
* Integrated HAL module into startup; standardized module names, includes and lifecycle logging; safer file append behavior; broader build support.
* **API Changes**
* Driver lifecycle now uses explicit add/remove semantics; C and HAL device type/lookup APIs clarified.
* **Chores**
* Added module README and Apache‑2.0 license; updated build configuration to include the new module.
* **Fixes**
* Updated tests and object file handling to behave correctly.
**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
- Added `AppHub` app
- Added `AppHubDetails` app
- Added `cJSON` dependency
- Renamed `AppSim` module to `FirmwareSim`
- Added extra `tt::app::alertdialg::start()`
- Renamed `addApp()`, `removeApp()`, `findAppById()` and `getApps()` to `addAppManifest()`, `removeAppManifest()`, `findAppManifestById()` and `getAppManifests()`
- Added `tt::lvgl::toolbar_clear_actions()`
- Added `tt::network::EspHttpClient` as a thread-safe wrapper around `esp_http_client`
- Added `tt::network::http::download()` to download files
- Added `tt::network::ntp::isSynced()`
- When time is synced, the timestamp is stored in NVS flash. On boot, it is restored. This helps SSL connections when doing a quick reset: when WiFi reconnects, the user doesn't have to wait for NTP sync before SSL works.
- Added `tt::json::Reader` as a `cJSON` wrapper
- Added `int64_t` support for `Preferences`
- Added `int64_t` support for `Bundle`
- Added dependencies: `cJSON`, `esp-tls`
- When time is synced via NTP, disable time sync.
- Added docs to 'tt::file::` functions
- Added `tt::string::join()` that works with `std::vector<const char*>`
- Fixed `tt::file::getLastPathSegment()` for the scenario when a path was passed with only a single segment
- Set `CONFIG_ESP_MAIN_TASK_STACK_SIZE=5120` (from about 3k) for all boards
- Set `CONFIG_MBEDTLS_SSL_PROTO_TLS1_3=y` for all boards
## 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
Various improvements and new internal APIs including a new Development service+app which allows `tactility.py` to upload and run applications remotely.
- Improved logging code by splitting functionality up into different files
- Set C++23 as new standard (it was already the implied standard due to some code, but now it's explicit)
- 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`)
