The concept is quite simple: stick a file on the OTA server named
something like `koreader-appimage-latest-stable` (by analogy with
`koreader-cervantes-latest-stable.zsync`), which contains nothing
but a filename.
The difference with the zsync update is that the link is then launched
in the user's browser (AppImage) or DownloadManager (Android, not yet
implemented).
* Android hasOTAUpdate = no for the moment
* On zsync delta failure, offer to retry OTA update with a full download
Fix#4429
* Bring the "this may take a while" popup back up before full DL
Don't rebuild the local tarball for a full dl, we're ignoring it anyway
;)

* Bump base
* Fix tar flag ordering in OTAManager
So that no-recursion actually gets honored, preventing us from creating
extra-large archives with unrelated content...
(Tar started being pickier about flag ordering in a recent version bump).
Fix#4147Closes#4148 (by superceding it)
* Handle OTA updates during the restart loop on Kobo/Kindle
So we can actually process OTA updates without ever truly exiting
KOReader (i.e., via the "Restart KOReader" menu entry) ;).
* 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).
* Swipe for menu and quickstart guide
Because swiping for the menu is a big change from what we're used to, this commit includes a new quickstart guide.
Fixes#2608.
* add some dev docs
* add FileConverter spec
* add QuickStart spec
* add Version module
* add Version spec
* lang: changed `...` in CloudStorage to real ellipses
* chore: reordered requires in CloudStorage per coding style
* UX: switched "Close" and "Stay alive" in KeepAlive per UX style
* lang: improved message in CloudStorage
* chore: reordered requires in OTAManager per coding style
* lang: removed "your" from "Your KOReader is up to date" in OTAManager
Currently only tested on Ubuntu-touch emulator with framework
ubuntu-sdk-14.10 for armhf.
The ubuntu-touch port is binary compatible with the Kobo port
major changes in this PR are:
1. rename the emulator device to sdl device since both the emulator
and the ubuntu-touch target use libsdl to handle input/output.
2. ubuntu-touch app has no write access to the installation dir so
all write-outs should be in a seperate dir definded in `datastorage`.
And koreader release version is normalized to a 10 digits containing
a four digits year field followed by a two digits month field followed
by a four digits revision field like "2014041079".
This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
