- Apps can be launched directly from file paths (including Files app support)
- Added executable detection to identify unsupported or invalid binaries before launch.
- App startup is now streamlined through separate registered-app and direct-execution interfaces.
- Existing app launch points were migrated to the updated startup APIs.
Implement file IO for applications to facilitate text input/output capturing.
Apps can now launch apps and:
- Read their stdio output
- Write to their stdio input
- Removed TactilityC, moved its symbols to existing modules and several new ones (pthread-module, c-symbols-module, cpp-symbols-module, posix-symbols-module, freertos-module).
- Removed Firmware subproject and moved main() into Tactility subproject.
- Strengthened application archive, path, version, stack-size, and device validation.
- Moved symbol resolution for elf_loader to app-esp32-module.
- Improved `struct Module` declarations and made module and symbol definitions in modules more consistent.
- Removed old http download code from Tactility subproject.
- Rename app-module's source files for consistency.
- Add missing pthread symbols.
- Kernel module symbols are now resolvable on all platforms.
- Apps can specify task stack depth and preferred memory placement in their manifests.
- App identifiers are validated against length and character requirements.
- Crash diagnostics now show the crash cause, reason, fault address, call stack, and program-counter details, with logs saved for review.
- App closing is more consistent across built-in screens. There's now a dedicated function, and the old _emit() function is made private.
- Crash diagnostics no longer display a QR code without a call stack.
- Improved memory allocation for unrestricted requests.
Event handling:
- Added unified event handling for application, system, and Wi‑Fi events.
- Updated all apps to reflect event handling changes
Wi-Fi:
- Refactored event handling from listener interface to task & event group.
- Added direct Wi‑Fi radio controls and improved event subscriptions.
- Wi‑Fi screens now refresh asynchronously and handle unavailable devices more gracefully.
- Enabled Wi‑Fi by default on in dts files, but radio on/off is still done by code. The main reason was reliable event subscription and consistent devicetree states.
- Improved Wi‑Fi shutdown cleanup and radio-state handling.
Other:
- Renamed the Kernel Display app to Display.
- Moved test projects to the parent project they belong to
- Improved test stability/corectness
- Improved recursive directory deletion by safely ignoring current- and parent-directory entries.
- Update docs
