The hyphenation of a word can be changed from its default
by long pressing for 3 seconds and selecting 'Hyphenate'.
These overrides are stored in a per-language file, i.e:
koreader/settings/user-German.hyph.
It can happen in perfectly sane contexts.
CReDocument: Don't destroy internal engine data when Document just
decreased the refcount (as opposed to actually tore down the document
userdata if it were the last ref).
PdfDocument: Only write edited documents if the Doc instance was torn
down.
PicDocument: Silence some DocumentRegistry related warnings
Make 'em match backward & forward.
Now that we have working overrides and the gesture manager, trying to fit them in a weird superset of the top corner tapzones in a vain attempt to avoid bad interactions doesn't make much sense anymore, and just makes the Gesture Manager UI confusing.
Also make sure the corner zones override the L/R ones for double taps, like it's the case with other gestures.
Fix#7710
Add a new reader module: ReaderScrolling, that exposes
some Scrolling options to the menu (which are to be used
by and implemented in ReaderPaging and ReaderRolling
themselves) and implement some inertial scrolling logic
used by both of them.
Default to "Classic scrolling" which is the expected
behaviour on phones and tablets.
The old CreDocument buggy behaviour is available as
"Turbo scrolling" for both Paging and Rolling documents.
Added a "On release scrolling" option that might be
useful on eInk to avoid dynamic pan/scrolling.
Try to avoid bad interactions between pan and swipe,
cancelling unwanted panning if we ended up doing a
swipe or multiswipe.
* FileManager/ReaderUI: Clarify the current instance accessor
Make it clearer that we actually store it in a *module/class* member, not an *instance* member.
Also, warn if there's a close/open mismatch.
* Allow doing away with CacheItem
Now that we have working FFI finalizers on BBs, it's mostly useless overhead.
We only keep it for DocCache, because it's slightly larger, and memory pressure might put us in a do or die situation where waiting for the GC might mean an OOM kill.
* Expose's LRU slot-only mode
And use it for CatalogCache, which doesn't care about storage space
* Make GlyphCache slots only (storage space is insignificant here, it was
always going to be evicted by running out of slots).
* More informative warning when we chop the cache in half
Ought to be faster than our naive array-based approach.
Especially for the glyph cache, which has a solid amount of elements,
and is mostly cache hits.
(There are few things worse for performance in Lua than
table.remove @ !tail and table.insert @ !tail, which this was full of :/).
DocCache: New module that's now an actual Cache instance instead of a
weird hack. Replaces "Cache" (the instance) as used across Document &
co.
Only Cache instance with on-disk persistence.
ImageCache: Update to new Cache.
GlyphCache: Update to new Cache.
Also, actually free glyph bbs on eviction.
* Minor updates to the min & max cache sizes (16 & 64MB). Mostly to satisfy my power-of-two OCD.
* Purge broken on-disk cache files
* Optimize free RAM computations
* Start dropping LRU items when running low on memory before pre-rendring (hinting) pages in non-reflowable documents.
* Make serialize dump the most recently *displayed* page, as the actual MRU item is the most recently *hinted* page, not the current one.
* Use more accurate item size estimations across the whole codebase.
TileCacheItem:
* Drop lua-serialize in favor of Persist.
KoptInterface:
* Drop lua-serialize in favor of Persist.
* Make KOPTContext caching actually work by ensuring its hash is stable.
* Ensure that going from one to the other tears down the former and
its plugins before instantiating the latter and its plugins.
UIManager: Unify Event sending & broadcasting
* Make the two behave the same way (walk the widget stack from top to
bottom), and properly handle the window stack shrinking shrinking
*and* growing.
Previously, broadcasting happened bottom-to-top and didn't really
handle the list shrinking/growing, while sending only handled the list
shrinking by a single element, and hopefully that element being the one
the event was just sent to.
These two items combined allowed us to optimize suboptimal
refresh behavior with Menu and other Menu classes when
opening/closing a document.
e.g., the "opening document" Notification is now properly regional,
and the "open last doc" option no longer flashes like a crazy person
anymore.
Plugins: Allow optimizing Menu refresh with custom menus, too.
Requires moving Menu's close_callback *after* onMenuSelect, which, eh,
probably makes sense, and is probably harmless in the grand scheme of
things.
Plugins are loaded *once*, but torn-down/instantiated multiple times,
and sometimes in the reverse order.
As such, if we use a public function member as the scheduled task, we're
always pointing to the same function, and going from FM to RD
effectively *un*schedules it.
Instead, use an instance-specific closure, so that each instance
schedules & unschedules don't affect each other.
In the same vein, settings ought to be read at instantiation, not at
loading, otherwise, changing a setting in the FM, then switching to the
reader will not pick up the changes.
Kindles are not flagged canPowerOff, although that's technically not
entirely warranted, but sorta makes sense.
The Plugin already handles that sanely, and will only expose/honor the
suspend timer.
The object was never re-assigned, so closing a smaller menu (e.g.,
Calibre metadata search) made the underlying one (e.g., CoverBrowser's
ListMenu) inherit the smaller dimensions...
Instead of creating the object in the Class constructor, create it in the
instance constructor (i.e., :init).
Similar cleanups in other Menu* related classes.
* Input: Don't create a new TimeVal object for input frame timestamps, just promote our existing table by assigning it the `TimeVal` metatable.
* TimeVal: Export (const) `zero` & `huge` TimeVal objects, because they're common enough in our codebase. (NOTE: not actually const, that's a Lua 5.4 feature ;p).
* GestureDetector: Explain the behavior of the `last_tevs` & `first_tevs` tables, and why one needs a new object and not the other.
* Speaking of, simplify the copy method for `first_tevs`, because it doesn't need to create a new TimeVal object, we can just reference the original, it's unique and re-assigned for each frame.
* Wireless: Optimize memory usage in StreamMessageQueue (use an array of string ropes, that we only concatenate once). Allowed to relax the throttling, making transfers that much faster.
* Persist: Add a "zstd" codec, that uses the "luajit" codec, but compressed via zstd. Since both of those are very fast, it pretty much trounces everything in terms of speed and size ;).
* Persist: Implemented a "writes_to_file" framework, much like the existing "reads_from_file" one. And use it in the zstd codec to avoid useless temporary string interning.
* Metadata: Switch to the zstd codec.
There have been a couple of these this month, and keeping stuff that should only ever run once piling up in their respective module was getting ugly, especially when it's usually simple stuff (settings, files).
So, move everything to a dedicated module, run by reader.lua on startup, and that will actually only do things once, when necessary.
* CalibreMetadata: Get rid of the now useless NULL-hunt: here, this was basically looking for `rapidjson.null` to replace them with... `rapidjson.null` :?. IIRC, that's a remnant of a quirk of the previous JSON parser (possibly even the previous, *previous* JSON parser ^^).
* CalibreSearch: Update the actually relevant NULL-hunt to make it explicit: replace JSON NULLs with Lua nils, instead of relying on an implementation detail of Lua-RapidJSON, because that detail just changed data type ;).
* UIManager: Make sure tasks scheduled during the final ZMQ callback are honored. e.g., the Calibre "Disconnect" handler. This happened to mostly work purely by chance before the event loop rework.
* Calibre: Restore a proper receiveCallback handler after receiving a book, in order not to break the "Disconnect" handler's state (and, well, get a working Disconnect handler, period ^^).
* Calibre: Unbreak metadata cache when it's initialized by a search (regression since #7159).
* Calibre: Handle UTC <-> local time conversions when checking the cache's timestamp against the Calibre metadata timestamp.
* Bump base (Unbreak CRe on Android, update RapidJSON)
Requires https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1344 & https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1346 (fix#7485)
Assorted input fixes:
* Actually handle errors in the "there's a callback timer" input polling loop.
* Don't break timerfd when the clock probe was inconclusive.
Not directly related, but noticed because of duplicate onInputEvent handlers:
* HookContainer: Fix deregistration to actually deregister properly. "Regression" extant since its inception in #2933 (!).
* Made sure the three plugins (basically the trio of AutoThingies ;p) that were using HookContainer actually unschedule their task on teardown.
* Change 'Find a file' to 'File search' for consistency
There is 'File search' in the Gesture manager already.
There is 'Fulltext search' in the readermenu.
Some help text added.
