* Add a new socketutil module with a few helper functions that allow us to:
* Always use a sane User-Agent (previously, only Wikipedia did so)
* Set timeouts in an almost sane manner. Doing it explicitly prevents an interaction with KOSync that does crazy stuff I don't even want to try to understand.
* Unified said timeouts based on the request's intended usage (except for Wikipedia, which already had meaningful timeout values).
* Stopped using LuaSec directly, LuaSocket defers to LuaSec sanely on its own. Everything now transparently supports HTTPS without code duplication.
* 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).
* 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.
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.
Allow TextBoxWidget new text direction/lang parameters to be
set on upper widgets, and propagate them all the way to it
(ScrollTextWidget, InputText, InputDialog, TextViewer).
Use specific non-default ones in some specific cases:
- Force LTR text direction when showing HTML and CSS, and
configuration files (in some plugins).
- Use Wikipedia server language and text direction when
showing an article.
- Use auto with Dictionary results, as we don't know the
dictionary language, and they may contain mixed content.
- Force LTR when showing some paths (still needs more of them)
TextEditor plugin: add 2 new options "Auto paragraph direction"
and "Force paragraph direction LTR".
Footnotes popup: grab HTML direction, and forward it
to MuPDF for proper display.
This commit standardizes the various todos around the code a bit in a manner recognized by LDoc.
Besides drawing more attention by being displayed in the developer docs, they're also extractable with LDoc on the command line:
```sh
ldoc --tags todo,fixme *.lua
```
However, whether that particular usage offers any advantage over other search tools is questionable at best.
* and some random beautification
Split the html page download out of createEpub, so that createFromDescription
can pass in its own html for epub packaging (with optional image download).
Still pass in a url, so that relative urls can be made absolute.
Fixes#5005
Results from re-running "Download news" should be as before, except when the
article content has changed between runs, but the title has not and an updated
date has not been given in the feed. User can force it to re-download an
article by manually deleting the file then running "Download news".
Wrap the whole of loadConfigAndProcessFeeds with Trapper:wrap so that feeds are downloaded sequentially, otherwise they become interleaved and the UI progress updates get confusing. Use Trapper:info in place of manually constructed InfoMessages.
Lift the Trapper:wrap call out of the individual article processing code,
so that articles are processed one by one, in order to:
* Avoid concurrent progress updates fighting over the UI dialog
* Avoid trying to download many images at the same time
Allow the user to specify whether to download images for each individual
feed specified in feed_config.lua. Default to false to stay closest to
existing behaviour.
TouchMenu: added options to menu items with the following defaults:
keep_menu_open = false
hold_keep_menu_open = true
So, default for Tap callback is to close menu, and for Hold callback
to keep menu open.
In both cases, provide the TouchMenu instance as the 1st argument to
the callback functions (instead of a refresh_menu_func I added in #3941)
so the callback can do more things, like closing, refreshing,
changing menu items text and re-ordering...
ReaderZooming: show symbol for default (like it was done for
ReaderFont, ReaderHyphenation...)
TextEditor plugin: update the previously opened files list in real
time, so the menu can be kept open and used as the TextEditor main
interface.
SSH plugin: keep menu open and update the Start/Stop state in real time
ReadTimer plugin: tried to do what feels right (but I don't use it)
Also remove forgotten cp in the move/paste file code
* Switch all initial highlights to "fast" update
i.e., everything that does an invert
Plus a few other things that refresh small UI elements onTap
Re #3130
* Tweak refreshtype for a number of widgets:
* Fix iconbutton dimen
* Make touchmenu flash on close & initial menu popup. Full-screen on close.
* Use flashing updates when opening/closing dictionary popup. Full-screen on close.
* Switch FileManager to partial.
It's mostly text, and we want flash promotion there.
* Make configdialog & menu flash on exit
* Make FLWidget flash on close
* virtualkeyboard: flash on layout change & popup.
* Potentially not that great workaround to ensure we actually see the
highlights in the FM's chevrons
* Flash when closing BookStatus Widget
* Optimize away a quirk of the dual "fast" update in touchmenu
* Promote updates to flashing slightly more agressively.
* Document what each refreshtype actually does.
With a few guidelines on their optimal usecases.
* Switch remaining scheduleIn(0.0) to nextTick()
* Tighter scheduling timers
Shaving a hundred ms off UI callbacks...
* Cache FFI C Library namespace
* Ask MuPDF to convert pixmaps to BGR on Kobo
Fix#3949
* Mention koxtoolchain in the README
re #3972
* Kindle: Handle *all* fonts via EXT_FONT_DIR instead of bind mounts insanity
* Make black flashes in UI elements user-configurable
(All or nothing).
* Jot down some random KOA2 sysfs path
* Download all files from ftp server(Not only epub). Show failed download number
* add date and time to filename
* optimalization - decrese max redirect number
* remove new external lib from luacheck
* add new lib licence info
* newsDownloader - atom support initial version
