* Added a new plugin external-keyboard. It listens to USB events. When keyboard is plugged in or plugged out, it updates device and input configuration accordingly.
* Added new fake events UsbDevicePlugIn and UsbDevicePlugOut that are emitted when a device is connected to a book reader that plays the role of USB host. The usage of the existing events UsbPlugIn and UsbPlugOut has not changed - they are used when a reader is connected to a host. The koreader-base has a related PR for those events.
* Did a small refactoring of initialization for the modules FocusManager and InputText. They check device keyboard capabilities on their when the module is first loaded and store it. Some of the initialization code has been extracted into functions, so that we can re-initialize them when keyboard is (dis)connected.
* Initial implementation centered around text input, and tested with USB keyboards on devices with OTG support.
* Said OTG shenanigans are so far supported on devices with debugfs & the chipidea driver, or sunxi devices.
Add a copy button and save word context (off by default), shown
via the three-dot menu of word entries.
Also some db refactoring and minor UI improvements:
- a dedicated book title table in order to shrink db size by storing
references to title names instead of repeated actual strings,
- alignment of different forms of the "more" button and possible
clipped words in translations.
- fix plugin name so it can be disabled
Add a submenu allowing users to add Noto Sans fonts
to be used as UI fallback fonts.
Lots of them are alrady there on Android, but can be
downloaded (manually) and side-loaded by the user
on other platforms.
This creates a new plugin system which hooks into a handful of reader
operations in order to allow plugins to add language-specific support
where the default reader falls short. The two hooks added are:
* During hold-without-pan taps, language plugins can modify the
selection in order to better match what users expect koreader to
highlight when selecting a single word.
The vast majority of CJK language words are more than one character,
but KOReader treats all CJK characters as a single word by default,
so adding this hook means that readers no longer need to manually
select the whole word every time they need to look something.
* During dictionary lookup, language plugins can propose alternative
candidate words to look up if the selected word could not be found in
the dictionary.
This is pretty necessary for Japanese and Korean, both of which are
highly agglutinative languages and the fuzzy searching system of
StarDict is simply not usable because often the inflection of the
word is so much longer than the dictionary form that sdcv decides to
chop off the actual word and search for the inflection (which yields
useless results).
This system is of particular interest for readers of CJK languages
(without this, looking up words using KOReader was fairly painful) but
this system is designed to be minimal and language-agnostic enough that
other languages could make use of it by creating their own plugins if
the default "whole word" highlight and fuzzy-search system doesn't match
their needs.

This is necessary in order to allow the language support module to be
added to the menu outside of the common_settings menu table definition.

Discussion in #6409.
Highlight action renamed to Long-press on text and moved from Gear - Document to Gear - Taps and gestures.
Added action Do nothing.
Removed menu item Typeset - Highlighting - Allow highlighting.
Fixed untranslated strings in the Cycle highlight action notification.
Long-press on images always opens ImageViewer. Closes#6409.
Make "Taps and gestures - Page turns" available only in reader.
Move there other page turn related menu items from Navigation.
Remove duplicated code. Added standard "star" for default RTL.
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).
- Lcd devices won't use the SurfaceView, just the good old native content/window (except AndroidTv and ChromeOS)
- All android dialogs will be presented with Material Design on recent devices.
- Added an option to device settings to manage application battery optimization.
- Permissions that require the user to go to a settings page will be presented with a native android dialog.
- bump android-luajit-launcher
- Changes under the hood: koreader/android-luajit-launcher#257
2 new widgets:
- QRWidget, that's like an ImageWidget, but with a text property that will be converted to a QR code ;
- QRMessage, that's like an InfoMessage, but shows the message as QR code.
Moreover, it adds the ability to export QR codes to the text editor.
1 new plugin:
- Generate QR codes from clipboard
Changes to text editor plugin:
- Add the ability to export QR codes.
Have ReaderBack be the sole handler of onBack.
Add 4 mutually exclusive options for the Back key,
to avoid ReaderLink and ReaderBack location stacks
from interfering (ReaderBack's stack being always a
superset of ReaderLink's stack).
So, remove "Enable back history", which is replaced
by Back option "Go to previous read page".
Fix a few possible crashes and inconsistencies (when
zoom, scroll or reflow have changed) with ReaderPaging
and ReaderView when restoring previous page/view.
Adaptively pins the auto-standby UI lock. When frequent input
from user is observed, we'll prevent for increasingly longer
periods of time, and revert back to more aggressive standby
with infrequent input (infrequent taps when reading a book).
* Be even more defensive around KoboUSBMS handling in the startup script
And add some more logging. To the log before a session, to the syslog
after, because we can't be sure onboard is viable.
* Display a short version string straight in the Version label
* Move system statistics inside the Help menu
* Move Version inside Help
* Bump base

* Revamped most actions that require an internet connection to a new/fixed backend that allows forwarding the initial action and running it automatically once connected. (i.e., it'll allow you to set "Action when Wi-Fi is off" to "turn_on", and whatch stuff connect and do what you wanted automatically without having to re-click anywhere instead of showing you a Wi-Fi prompt and then not doing anything without any other feedback).
* Speaking of, fixed the "turn_on" beforeWifi action to, well, actually work. It's no longer marked as experimental.
* Consistently use "Wi-Fi" everywhere.
* On Kobo/Cervantes/Sony, implemented a "Kill Wi-Fi connection when inactive" system that will automatically disconnect from Wi-Fi after sustained *network* inactivity (i.e., you can keep reading, it'll eventually turn off on its own). This should be smart and flexible enough not to murder Wi-Fi while you need it, while still not keeping it uselessly on and murdering your battery.
(i.e., enable that + turn Wi-Fi on when off and enjoy never having to bother about Wi-Fi ever again).
* Made sending `NetworkConnected` / `NetworkDisconnected` events consistent (they were only being sent... sometimes, which made relying on 'em somewhat problematic).
* restoreWifiAsync is now only run when really needed (i.e., we no longer stomp on an existing working connection just for the hell of it).
* We no longer attempt to kill a bogus non-existent Wi-Fi connection when going to suspend, we only do it when it's actually needed.
* Every method of enabling Wi-Fi will now properly tear down Wi-Fi on failure, instead of leaving it in an undefined state.
* Fixed an issue in the fancy crash screen on Kobo/reMarkable that could sometime lead to the log excerpt being missing.
* Worked-around a number of sneaky issues related to low-level Wi-Fi/DHCP/DNS handling on Kobo (see the lengthy comments [below](https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6424#issuecomment-663881059) for details). Fix#6421
Incidentally, this should also fix the inconsistencies experienced re: Wi-Fi behavior in Nickel when toggling between KOReader and Nickel (use NM/KFMon, and run a current FW for best results).
* For developers, this involves various cleanups around NetworkMgr and NetworkListener. Documentation is in-line, above the concerned functions.
use `device` `filemanager` `rolling` and `paging` sections to organize the
dispatcher menu and allow the user to know when the action will apply
add events from ReaderGesture
allow profiles in FM
* landscape FM / Refactor rotation
refactor and simplify the orientation handling code. the user generally cares about the rotation (what direction the device is facing) and not about if koreader is displaying in portrait or landscape mode
* bump base
update luasocket, libjpeg-turbo, curl
add logging to evernote-sdk-lua
update framebuffer for proper rotation
Err, kind of nitpick PR. Is just add some "permanent" menus other than plugins to the new "more_tools" submenu. So it will never be empty.
Follow-up: #6279
Supersedes: #5512#6092Fixes: #5461
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).
* generic Device:info() function which returns the model
* add Device:canSuspend() and make it true in all devices that have suspend routines and the emulator
* also enable fake poweroff/reboot on the emulator
* add Device.home_dir
* add Device:hasExitOptions() and update menus & comments
Requires koreader/android-luajit-launcher#233
Requires koreader/koreader-base#1117
It is a workaround for #6263 but can be useful on some devices with erratic back key behaviour too (yep, Onyx)
