* Notification: Drop the fencing from #10083; it never actually helped, and had subtle side-effects we could do without.
* VirtualKeyBoard: Flash on close, otherwise, some of the fast refresh glitches may be burned into the working buffer until a flash. Making sure we flash ourselves prevent it from sticking around on the page ;).
* util: Move `writeToSysfs` to base (i.e., `ffi/util`), as we need it there (and it actually makes more sense there anyway ;p).
* Bump base for https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1645, which is where the actual workaround (hopefully) lives.
Re #8414, #9806, #10558
Allow disabling the hall efect sensor via the sysfs knob, so the kindle system wont sleep & wake the device
for those of use that stay in koreader, are caseless and have get spurious wakeups
* Rejig frontlight warmth API to more closely match the existing API, and, hopefully, clarify some of its quirks, and reduce boilerplate and duplicate code in platform implementations.
* Tweak Kindle:setDateTime to prefer using the platform's custom script, as in interacts better with the stock UI. And make the fallbacks handle old busybox versions better.
* Add Kindle PW5 support ;).
* Add warmth support to the Kindle platform.
* Random TextBoxWidget cleanups: make sure we immediately free destroyed instances.
* FrontLightWidget: Refactor to make it slightly less obnoxious to grok and update; i.e., separate layout from update, and properly separate brightness from warmth handling. Move to simpler widgets instead of reinventing the wheel.
* TextBoxWidgets: Implement `setText` to match TextWidget's API, as some callers may be using the two interchangeably (i.e., Button).
* NaturalLightWidget: Make sure we pass a string to InputText
* InputText: Add debug guards to catch bad callers not passing strings ;).
* 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.
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.
* Enable HW dithering on supported devices (Clara HD, Forma; Oasis 2, PW4)
* FileManager and co. (where appropriate, i.e., when covers are shown)
* Book Status
* Reader, where appropriate:
* CRe: on pages whith image content (for over 7.5% of the screen area, should hopefully leave stuff like bullet points or small scene breaks alone).
* Other engines: on user-request (in the gear tab of the bottom menu), via the new "Dithering" knob (will only appear on supported devices).
* ScreenSaver
* ImageViewer
* Minimize repaints when flash_ui is enabled (by, almost everywhere, only repainting the flashing element, and not the toplevel window which hosts it).
(The first pass of this involved fixing a few Button instances whose show_parent was wrong, in particular, chevrons in the FM & TopMenu).
* Hunted down a few redundant repaints (unneeded setDirty("all") calls),
either by switching the widget to nil when only a refresh was needed, and not a repaint,
or by passing the appropritate widget to setDirty.
(Note to self: Enable *verbose* debugging to catch broken setDirty calls via its post guard).
There were also a few instances of 'em right behind a widget close.
* Don't repaint the underlying widget when initially showing TopMenu & ConfigDialog.
We unfortunately do need to do it when switching tabs, because of their variable heights.
* On Kobo, disabled the extra and completely useless full refresh before suspend/reboot/poweroff, as well as on resume. No more double refreshes!
* Fix another debug guard in Kobo sysfs_light
* Switch ImageWidget & ImageViewer mostly to "ui" updates, which will be better suited to image content pretty much everywhere, REAGL or not.
PS: (Almost 💯 commits! :D)
* Enforce a known rotation on startup, to make sure we handle touch input coordinates properly.
* Proper FrontLight warmth support (thanks to @cairnsh & @pazos in #4291)!
* Fix the PageTurn buttons mapping to match Nickel's defaults
* Properly remap PageTurn buttons depending on the current rotation.
* Actually enable the Mk.7 screen refresh codepath on *all* Mk.7 devices (I'd messed up the device check...).
* Full accelerometer handling (includes a touch of refactoring regarding orientation handling in general).
* Fix insidiously broken USBMS behavior in Nickel after we exit on FW >4.8.
