This should be fairly unintrusive, but still noticeable enough without having to watch the battery gauge like a hawk, or resort to actual monitoring via kernel logs and/or usb meter and/or multimeter...
Basically:
* Use `extend` for class definitions
* Use `new` for object instantiations
That includes some minor code cleanups along the way:
* Updated `Widget`'s docs to make the semantics clearer.
* Removed `should_restrict_JIT` (it's been dead code since https://github.com/koreader/android-luajit-launcher/pull/283)
* Minor refactoring of LuaSettings/LuaData/LuaDefaults/DocSettings to behave (mostly, they are instantiated via `open` instead of `new`) like everything else and handle inheritance properly (i.e., DocSettings is now a proper LuaSettings subclass).
* Default to `WidgetContainer` instead of `InputContainer` for stuff that doesn't actually setup key/gesture events.
* Ditto for explicit `*Listener` only classes, make sure they're based on `EventListener` instead of something uselessly fancier.
* Unless absolutely necessary, do not store references in class objects, ever; only values. Instead, always store references in instances, to avoid both sneaky inheritance issues, and sneaky GC pinning of stale references.
* ReaderUI: Fix one such issue with its `active_widgets` array, with critical implications, as it essentially pinned *all* of ReaderUI's modules, including their reference to the `Document` instance (i.e., that was a big-ass leak).
* Terminal: Make sure the shell is killed on plugin teardown.
* InputText: Fix Home/End/Del physical keys to behave sensibly.
* InputContainer/WidgetContainer: If necessary, compute self.dimen at paintTo time (previously, only InputContainers did, which might have had something to do with random widgets unconcerned about input using it as a baseclass instead of WidgetContainer...).
* OverlapGroup: Compute self.dimen at *init* time, because for some reason it needs to do that, but do it directly in OverlapGroup instead of going through a weird WidgetContainer method that it was the sole user of.
* ReaderCropping: Under no circumstances should a Document instance member (here, self.bbox) risk being `nil`ed!
* Kobo: Minor code cleanups.
* This removes support for the following deprecated constants: `DTAP_ZONE_FLIPPING`, `DTAP_ZONE_BOOKMARK`, `DCREREADER_CONFIG_DEFAULT_FONT_GAMMA`
* The "Advanced settings" panel now highlights modified values in bold (think about:config in Firefox ;)).
* LuaData: Isolate global table lookup shenanigans, and fix a few issues in unused-in-prod codepaths.
* CodeStyle: Require module locals for Lua/C modules, too.
* ScreenSaver: Actually garbage collect our widget on close (ScreenSaver itself is not an instantiated object).
* DateTimeWidget: Code cleanups to ensure child widgets can be GC'ed.
Since I never actually needed to look into that data ever until today, let's just get rid of the weird debug-specific behavior.
Instead, just add a dedicated "Developer options" entry that will dump it on demand (and it'll be sorted to boot, which makes it 500% more usable).
Plus, since yesterday's change, the cache format switch between debug or not miiiight actually be crashy, so re-trigger the migration ;p.
* Includes a couple of noteworthy base bumps:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1516 (update to sdcv 0.5.4 + fixes pending upstream)
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1517 (fix ffiUtil.orderedPairs with keys of mixed types)
Commonize fullscreen code across different devices.
Add fullscreen toggle on SDL desktop targets.
Expose the toggle to the dispatcher and map it to F11.
Hide touchmenu when resizing.
Bump base for cre.cpp cleanup and utf8proc FFI.
Add a checkbutton for case sensitive search in FileBrowser,
and use Utf8Proc.lowercase() for case insensitive search.
Also use it in ReaderUserHyph as a replacement for
crengine getLowercasedWord().
* 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.
Cache's state tracking
Re #7510
Legacy cache has to be deleted in Cache,
*before* the first getDiskCache call.
Reword the "Clear caches" Dev menu entry & callback:
We now have an actual "Restart" action (on most, if not all, platforms).
And we clear the whole cache folder, which may host other things (e.g.,
fontlist)
* 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.
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Updated readSetting API to allow proper initialization to default.
Use it to initialize tables, e.g., fixing corner-cases in readerFooter that could prevent settings from being saved.
(Fixes an issue reported on Gitter).
* LuaSettings/DocSettings: Add simpler API than the the flip* ones to toggle boolean settings.
* Update LuaSettings/DocSettigns usage throughout the codebase to use the dedicated boolean methods wher appropriate, and clean up some of the more mind-bending uses.
* FileChooser: Implement an extended default exclusion list (fix#2360)
* ScreenSaver: Refactor to avoid the pile of kludges this was threatening to become. Code should be easier to follow and use, and fallbacks now behave as expected (fix#4418).
* Menu/KeyValuePage/ReaderGoTo: Unify the dialogs. (Generally, "Enter page number" as title, and "Go to page" as OK button).
* Allow *tapping* on pagination buttons, too. Added spacers around the text to accommodate for that.
* Disable input handlers when <= 1 pages, while still printing the label in black.
* Always display both the label and the chevrons, even on single page content. (Menu being an exception, because it can handle showing no content at all, in which case we hide the chevrons).
* KVP: Tweak the pagination buttons layout in order to have consistent centering, regardless of whether the return arrow is enabled or not. (Also, match Menu's layout, more or less).
* Menu: Minor layout tweaks to follow the KVP tweaks above. Fixes, among possibly other things, buttons in (non-FM) "List" menus overlapping the final entry (e.g., OPDS), and popout menus with a border being misaligned (e.g., Calibre, Find a file).
* CalendarView: Minor layout tweaks to follow the KVP tweaks. Ensures the pagination buttons are laid out in the same way as everywhere else (they used to be a wee bit higher).
Tweak building to start from items per page instead of
a fixed item height.
Guess the best font size that fit.
Update separator specification from using a "----" to
the now generic separator=true (this allows not wasting
a slot for each separator in the page and not have
only 12 items and 2 small lines in a 14 items page).
Move classic file browser settings from CoverBrowser plugin
into FileManagerMenu, so they are available when this
plugin is disabled (as they also apply to everything
based on Menu).
- Menu widget: allow specifying the number of items per
page and the item font size, so we can use other values
than the default File browser ones
- Menu: fix setDirty when a border is used
- ToC: add item per page and font size settings, make
Alternative ToC more visible (was previously
available on long-press on Table of contents)
- Bookmarks: add item per page, font size, size reduction
- Progress bars (Skim widget and footer): allow selecting
ToC depths from which ticks are made.
- Add IconWidget, use it for icons instead of ImageWidget.
Specify icons by name only, look for them (with either
.svg or .png suffixes) in multiple directories (including
koreader/settings/icons/ to allow customizing them).
Don't crash when icon name not found, shown a black
background warning icon instead.
- Don't trust the icons' native sizes: replace
scale_for_dpi=true with width/height=DGENERIC_ICON_SIZE,
so all icons get the same (tunable) size - except in
a few specific use cases.
- Top and bottom menu bars: normalize, and have icons
properly centered in them, extend vertical line
separators up to the edges.
- TOC: adjust expand/collapse icons size to items size
* Top menu & bottom menu tapzones are now full-width, thanks to the now sane override system.
* A separate, extra tapzone was also created for each of them to provide a taller, but narrower tapzone extension (one that doesn't clash with the prev/next tapzones).
* The footer tapzone was made much taller.
* Warn on restart if the startup script has been updated, because a restart will not reload it.
* Also warn right after the update if it contained a startup script update...
CBB now handles nightmode correctly (by deferring to Lua), so we no longer
need to do monkey dances about disabling it when hw invert is missing.
canUseCBB cap is resolved by generic device re-configuring blitbuffer
on the go, so as to avoid repeating the same thing in every device driver.
The dev setting can now flip cbb on the go, so one can gloat at the near
meaningless perf difference - 2Mp draw is 15ms Lua / 10ms C on 1GHz Cortex A7.
* Allow switching to SW dithering on a HW-capable device without that being lost on boot (and, worse, left in an undithered state).
* Make sure the automagic toggles between HW/SW in the Dev menu are properly saved.
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).
- Use same names for options;
- Have them both movable
- Add option to keep widget shown on Apply (and use that
when appropriate: when the value may have an immediate
visual effect, so one can tweak it without having to
go thru menus to re-open it again).
It's extremely confusing, as it has nothing to do with calibre catalogs,
which are actual things the user can generate manually.
What it's using instead is actually a metadata cache in a flatfile db
that's always present, as long as "Send To Device" was used to upload
the content to the device.
Also reset cache when calling :enableInternalHistory(), as it solves
screen orientation change unit tests failures (although there is no
issue in regular use of the app).
Optimise usage of some of CreDocument methods by caching
their results, either globally, or per page/pos for those
whose result may depend on current page number or y-pos.
This helps a lot on cre books with a lot of highlights.
bidi.lua:
- Revert "Alias everything to Bidi.nowrap() when in LTR UI,
as using LTR isolates seems uneeded when already LTR" (part
of a628714f) which was a wrong assumption: we need proper
wrappers for all things paths. Enhance some of these wrappers.
- Fix GetText RTL wrapping which was losing empty lines and
trailing \n.
- Wrap all paths, directories, filenames in the code with
these wrappers.
- Wrap all book metadata (title, authors...) with BD.auto(),
as it helps fixing some edge cases (like open/close quotation
marks which are not considered as bracket types by FriBiDi).
(Needed some minor logic changes in CoverBrowser.)
- Tweak hyphenation menu text
- Update forgotten SortWidget for UI mirroring
- KoptConfig: update "justification" index for RTL re-ordering,
following the recent addition of the page_gap_height option.
Small tweaks all around to handle UI mirroring:
- swap existing symbols like arrows, or use alternative ones
- rotate some images, like chevrons and dogear icons
- flip some left and right swipe handling
- flip some geometry arithmetic like tap on left or right
side of page or dict window
- use new ProgressWidget:getPercentageFromPosition() instead
of geometry arithmetic
- BD.wrap() some concatenated string bits, like in reader
and menu footers
- flip inverse_reading_order when UI is mirrored
More specific tweaks:
- ReaderGesture: reset some specific gestures when UI direction
has changed (tap on top/bottom left/right corners, for
bookmarks and FileManager "Plus menu").
- ReaderRolling: show markers on the correct side of page,
in single or dual page mode.
- KoptOptions: swap left and right icons in Alignment toggle
- CheckMark: proper rendering in all 4 mirroring/rtl combinations.
- VirtualKeyboard: forbid any mirroring
- Move util.getMenuText into Menu.lua
Set default language (for Harfbuzz to pick up localized glyphs
in a font), default text direction, and UI element mirroring
depending on the UI language.
- height_adjust: if true, reduce height to a multiple of
line_height (for nicer centering)
- height_overflow_show_ellipsis: if height overflow, append
ellipsis to last shown line
(Implemented in both use_xtext and legacy code path.)
Use them in Menu.lua to clean up/shorten the code used for multiline
menu items by delegating the work to TextBoxWidget, or using
TextWidget when we end up needing only a single line.
Alternative code to size and draw text with the help
of the xtext Lua C module.
Enabled by default (can be disabled via an added menu
item in "Developer options").
New properties can be specified by calling widgets, only
used when xtext is used:
- lang: use specified language instead of the UI language
- para_direction_rtl: true/false to override the default
direction for the UI language
- auto_para_direction: detect direction of each paragraph
in text
