* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
* Allow locking the gyro to the current screen mode (i.e., orientation).
* Tweak the "sticky rota" option to work both ways
* More rotation constant usage instead of magic numbers
joins calibre metadata search and calibre wireless connections into a single plugin
search metadata changes:
- search directly into calibre metadata files.
- search can be performed on more than one library (configurable from a menu)
- device scans now find all calibre libraries under a given root
- search options can be configured from a menu. (case sensitive, find by title, author and path)
- removed legacy global variables.
- *option* to search from the reader
- *option* to generate a cache of books for faster searches.
calibre wireless connection changes:
- keep track of books in a library (includes prunning books from calibre metadata if the file was deleted locally)
- remove files on device from calibre
- support password protected connections
- FM integration: if we're in the inbox dir it will be updated each time a book is added or deleted.
- disconnect when requested by calibre, available on newer calibre versions (+4.17)
- remove unused opcodes.
- better report of client name, version and device id
- free disk space checks for all calibre versions
- bump supported extensions to match what KOReader can handle. Users can override this with their own list of extensions (or from calibre, by configuring the wireless device).
* generic Device:info() function which returns the model
* add Device:canSuspend() and make it true in all devices that have suspend routines and the emulator
* also enable fake poweroff/reboot on the emulator
* add Device.home_dir
* add Device:hasExitOptions() and update menus & comments
* Ensure feature-parity in ScreenSaver handling on Kindle
We were missing the fancy extra white flash and landscape handling that
most every other eInk device gets ;).
Fix#5724
* Minor SO tweaks
The "swipe to unlock" ad screen was possibly managing to seep through on
slow devices.
* Less convoluted and more consistent logic
Thanks, @yparitcher ;).
* Kindle FL shenanigans
Either fix#5986, or break a whole crapload of weird corner-cases.
Possibly the insane AutoFrontLight checks.
* Make fl step 0 usable on devices where 0 doesn't turn the light off.
By fudging an extra step on our own side.
* Also, add some debug logging around wmctrl to try to figure out what's
happening there...
* Allow running Shell/Python scripts from the FM
* Show an InfoMessage before/after running the script
Since we're blocking the UI ;).
* Allow running scripts from the favorites menu, too.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
* Fix Kindle model detection in some corner-cases
We were (currently) unaffected because we don't support the K1.
Still, this should be slightly more robust.
Either at all, or because it would impose reduced functionality.
Meaning:
* On 4bpp fb, because those are completely unsupported by the C BB
* On 24bpp fb, because it has limited support for that target format (no alpha blending).
* On 8bpp Linux eInk fb with an inverted palette (that's basically only the K4 ;)).
* On Linux eInk devices w/ no HW inversion support, as that would render NightMode inoperable.
That last point means that it's currently *always* blacklisted on PocketBook, because I don't have a PB device, so I don't know how safe HW inversion would be, meaning none of them are marked as being HW invert capable.
(I was a tiny bit hasty with https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/912 ;).)
Companion PR to https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/884
* Basically flags devices known to be stable when using PxP inversion.
* Plus, random fix for #4870 ;).
* A few FrontLight tweaks & cleanups on Kobo:
* Moved the Kobo-specific startup status insanity to Kobo-specific init
* Made turnOff/turnOn frontlight do a smooth ramp down/up
* On Kobo, use turnOff/turnOn for suspend/resume, to get that smooth toggle
* On Kobo, for NaturalLight w/ a mixer, only set warmth for setWarmth, and only set Brightness for setBrightness, otherwise, it tried to set both with not in-sync values, which made the FL widget jittery.
WiFi handling is handled asynchronously (deferred to lipc), so this is a
bit clunkier than on devices where we handle WiFi ourselves...
But, basically, try to honor the menu callback when toggling WiFi so
that the status gets updated in the menu.
Fix#4472
* Implement isWifiOn on Kindle (fix#4380)
* Ensure frontlight intensity is properly restored on resume on Kindle. (fix #Fix #4392)
Only actually matters when the frontlight is *off*.
* Unbreak dropbear after #4077
* Move the Kindle SO check to init
* Various virtual keyboard fixes to eradicate the remaining refresh conflicts (i.e., tearing artifacts), no matter the user's settings. (re #4069, re #3130).
* With a bonus version normalizer fix.
* And a zsync bump/fix to avoid softlocks with OpenStack HTTP frontends (also, pull those from the OTA mirror list).
* Better KOA2 support
* Fix FL
* Add physical pageturn keys
* Add accelerometer support
* Possibly better NaturalLight handling on the Clara
* Fix WiFi module name used in some(?) Mk7 Kobos
* A bunch of kodev fixes
* Switch all initial highlights to "fast" update
i.e., everything that does an invert
Plus a few other things that refresh small UI elements onTap
Re #3130
* Tweak refreshtype for a number of widgets:
* Fix iconbutton dimen
* Make touchmenu flash on close & initial menu popup. Full-screen on close.
* Use flashing updates when opening/closing dictionary popup. Full-screen on close.
* Switch FileManager to partial.
It's mostly text, and we want flash promotion there.
* Make configdialog & menu flash on exit
* Make FLWidget flash on close
* virtualkeyboard: flash on layout change & popup.
* Potentially not that great workaround to ensure we actually see the
highlights in the FM's chevrons
* Flash when closing BookStatus Widget
* Optimize away a quirk of the dual "fast" update in touchmenu
* Promote updates to flashing slightly more agressively.
* Document what each refreshtype actually does.
With a few guidelines on their optimal usecases.
* Switch remaining scheduleIn(0.0) to nextTick()
* Tighter scheduling timers
Shaving a hundred ms off UI callbacks...
* Cache FFI C Library namespace
* Ask MuPDF to convert pixmaps to BGR on Kobo
Fix#3949
* Mention koxtoolchain in the README
re #3972
* Kindle: Handle *all* fonts via EXT_FONT_DIR instead of bind mounts insanity
* Make black flashes in UI elements user-configurable
(All or nothing).
* Jot down some random KOA2 sysfs path
* Refresh Kindle model ID routines
* Pickup current OTA packages
We stopped shipping files w/ the full .tar.gz extension a looooong time
ago.
* And actually generally handle current packages properly
* Kindle screensaver handling experiment
WIP, because there's a fair bit of insanity left in there.
Namely, USBMS is anathema. We simply shouldn't do that, at all,
but the system allows us to do it and basically shoot ourselves in the
head one way or another.
* Don't try to handle the insanity that would be USBMS on Kindles
* Yay, one less thing to worry about :).
* Okay, that should be much saner...
Since the whole deal w/ letting the WM handle stuff was for SO, restrict
that to SO devices.
The other concern was USBMS, but we can't support it.
* Reword that
* And move that comment inside the branch, like its counterpart
* [device][kindle4] add fake event to kindle4
* modify focusmanager to allow for more complex layout
The focusmanager now naviguate the layout by avoiding nil value
instead of relying on table lenght. It should be completely backward
compatible
* add Dpad naviguation to the touchmenu
* fix crash because virtualkeyboard on non touch device
the kindle4NT has no keyboard nor touch, the fix open the virtual
keyboard so koreader dont crash but it's not useable
* Enable device with keys to use the touchmenu
* Don't get stuck in reader progress statistics plugin
* [underlinecontainer] Fix and remove unused function
References #1898.
* Prevent open screensaver more than one in the same time
* Add option to enable/disable background in message screensaver
* fallback to random images if this book cover is excluded feature + fix Disabled (leave screen/page as it is)
* Autostretch disable by default, more fallback options, leave screen as it is
* Force refresh when kindle is out of screensaver or usb is unpluged.
* Improve AutoFrontlight
* More plugins sub menu
* Last brightness should always be updated
* Finish autofrontlight improvement and enable it by default.
* More tets
* onFlushSettings
* MenuSorter can now correctly sort sub menus
