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.
* PluginLoader: Allow querying whether a specific plugin is loaded (instantiated, actually).
Re #7598
* PluginLoader: Add a method to access a specific Plugin's instance
(Besides `self.ui[plugin_name]`, that is).
Requires some nastiness to avoid pinning stale references in memory :s.
* PluginLoader: Tweak genPluginManagerSubItem to keep from rebuilding `self.all_plugins`, it's using `loadPlugins`, which is cached, so it made no sense to re-compute this one.
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.
Plugins that a person doesn't need (or doesn't want shown in menus)
can be disabled by manually adding into settings.reader.lua :
["plugins_disabled"] = {
["zsync"] = true,
["evernote"] = true,
["calibrecompanion"] = true
},
* plugin loader(feat): support loading plugins from user defined directories
Extra plugin lookup paths can be set in global reader setting via key
`extra_plugin_paths`. Value of the key can either be a string or an array
of strings.
* build(fix): also purge non-exist plugins on build
* plugin: migrate debug plugin to menu sorter
* Start battery stat plugin
* BatteryStat & kobolight
* Several minor improvements
* Remove a useless function
* flush settings
* Some review feedbacks
* Resolve review comments
* Remaining Minutes -> Remaining Hours
* Add dump_file
* typo
* realpath
* realpath on folder
* Remove useless os.time()
* Resolve review comments
* warning
* Add BatteryStat.debugging flag
* treat log as txt
* Minor improvement
* Charging hour should be positive
* Use warn instead of info
* onSuspend in Kobo
* Charging events for kobo and kindle
* More events
* dumpOrLog
* Warnings
* Typo
* More space
* Singleton
* slightly format change
* BatteryStat singleton
* Init
* Remove debugging flag
* sleeping percentage is still negative
* Read settings
* Do not need to change was_suspending and was_charging
* Typo
* Remove debugging flag
* Not charging should happen before suspend
* Resolve review comments
* was_suspend and was_charging should be updated each time in onCallback()
