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.
colors were a mixture of 4bpp integers (0=white, 15=black) and
fractional blackness levels (0=white, 1.0=black) before. This is
now unified to use the color specification of the Blitbuffer API.
Since wikipedia server is language specific we should first detect
language of the text by querying Google Translate. Make sure you have
access to both Google Translate and Wikipedia service to use this
function.
use `self.highlight:handleEvent(Event:new("Tap"))` instead of
`self.ui:handleEvent(Event:new("Tap"))` when clearing highlighted
text since Tap event in latter situation will be captured by
the dogear widget.
This should finish the work to make all globals to local variables.
That allows LuaJIT to properly compile things by interning the
references to the relevant parts (rather than looking up globals
all the time which stops a trace).
