* Input: Don't create a new TimeVal object for input frame timestamps, just promote our existing table by assigning it the `TimeVal` metatable.
* TimeVal: Export (const) `zero` & `huge` TimeVal objects, because they're common enough in our codebase. (NOTE: not actually const, that's a Lua 5.4 feature ;p).
* GestureDetector: Explain the behavior of the `last_tevs` & `first_tevs` tables, and why one needs a new object and not the other.
* Speaking of, simplify the copy method for `first_tevs`, because it doesn't need to create a new TimeVal object, we can just reference the original, it's unique and re-assigned for each frame.
* ReaderDictionary: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderHighlight: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* ReaderView: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Android: Reset gesture detection state on APP_CMD_TERM_WINDOW.
This prevents potentially being stuck in bogus gesture states when switching apps.
* GestureDetector:
* Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Fixed delay computations to handle time warps (large and negative deltas).
* Simplified timed callback handling to invalidate timers much earlier, preventing accumulating useless timers that no longer have any chance of ever detecting a gesture.
* Fixed state clearing to handle the actual effective slots, instead of hard-coding slot 0 & slot 1.
* Simplified timed callback handling in general, and added support for a timerfd backend for better performance and accuracy.
* The improved timed callback handling allows us to detect and honor (as much as possible) the three possible clock sources usable by Linux evdev events.
The only case where synthetic timestamps are used (and that only to handle timed callbacks) is limited to non-timerfd platforms where input events use
a clock source that is *NOT* MONOTONIC.
AFAICT, that's pretty much... PocketBook, and that's it?
* Input:
* Use the <linux/input.h> FFI module instead of re-declaring every constant
* Fixed (verbose) debug logging of input events to actually translate said constants properly.
* Completely reset gesture detection state on suspend. This should prevent bogus gesture detection on resume.
* Refactored the waitEvent loop to make it easier to comprehend (hopefully) and much more efficient.
Of specific note, it no longer does a crazy select spam every 100µs, instead computing and relying on sane timeouts,
as afforded by switching the UI event/input loop to the MONOTONIC time base, and the refactored timed callbacks in GestureDetector.
* reMarkable: Stopped enforcing synthetic timestamps on input events, as it should no longer be necessary.
* TimeVal:
* Refactored and simplified, especially as far as metamethods are concerned (based on <bsd/sys/time.h>).
* Added a host of new methods to query the various POSIX clock sources, and made :now default to MONOTONIC.
* Removed the debug guard in __sub, as time going backwards can be a perfectly normal occurrence.
* New methods:
* Clock sources: :realtime, :monotonic, :monotonic_coarse, :realtime_coarse, :boottime
* Utility: :tonumber, :tousecs, :tomsecs, :fromnumber, :isPositive, :isZero
* UIManager:
* Ported event loop & scheduling to TimeVal, and switched to the MONOTONIC time base.
This ensures reliable and consistent scheduling, as time is ensured never to go backwards.
* Added a :getTime() method, that returns a cached TimeVal:now(), updated at the top of every UI frame.
It's used throughout the codebase to cadge a syscall in circumstances where we are guaranteed that a syscall would return a mostly identical value,
because very few time has passed.
The only code left that does live syscalls does it because it's actually necessary for accuracy,
and the only code left that does that in a REALTIME time base is code that *actually* deals with calendar time (e.g., Statistics).
* DictQuickLookup: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* FootNoteWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* HTMLBoxWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* Notification: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* TextBoxWidget: Port delay computations to TimeVal
* AutoSuspend: Port to TimeVal
* AutoTurn:
* Fix it so that settings are actually honored.
* Port to TimeVal
* BackgroundRunner: Port to TimeVal
* Calibre: Port benchmarking code to TimeVal
* BookInfoManager: Removed unnecessary yield in the metadata extraction subprocess now that subprocesses get scheduled properly.
* All in all, these changes reduced the CPU cost of a single tap by a factor of ten (!), and got rid of an insane amount of weird poll/wakeup cycles that must have been hell on CPU schedulers and batteries..
In the "Set footnote popup font size", allow toggling
between setting a relative (to the document) font size
and setting an absolute font size (that won't change
with the document font size).
Only with CreDocuments (as no way currently to highlight links
in PDFs).
Tab or Shift-Tab to select next or previous links.
Press to follow (or show footnote in popup, and in there Press
to follow), back to go back.
Avoid conflicts having "In-page EPUB footnotes (smaller)"
affects FB2 documents that use "<a type=note>12</a>" which
would then get smaller if both tweaks are enabled (which
they are, by default).
Also switch "-cr-hint: strut-confined" from being set on "*"
to being set only on "body", now that it is inherited.
Footnote popups: add styles for some non-HTML FB2 tags,
so MuPDF can render them as expected.
- Add some style tweaks to allow displaying FB2 end notes
in-page too - and to allow showing them without a smaller
font size.
- Show footnote number in bold in popup footnotes.
- FB2 footnotes are no more rendered in-page by default
- In-page rendering can be enable by the added Style tweak
- FB2 footnotes can also show in footnote popup (with
some added not-so-nice CSS so MuPDF can render them
as crengine)
MuPDF does not handle "text-align: justify" correctly on
RTL text: the last line is left-aligned, but it should be
right-aligned.
Not using justify makes it correctly right align the whole
text.
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
- Popup footnotes: workaround strange behaviour of MuPDF
which is adding some unwanted margin above elements
with an "id=" attribute.
- In-page footnotes: also remove any left and right margin,
to keep footnotes aligned with the main text.
Also add 2 classnames (witnessed in quite a few recent
french books) to the list of classic classnames.
- Also bump crengine: CSS: fix parsing of multi classnames
and attributes selectors
- Remove duplicated "Show footnote popup". Have the same setting
applied for Tap or 'Swipe to follow nearest link'.
- Make some menu items enabled or disabled depending on if they would
have some effect with the current state of other menu items, as
some kind of visual self-documentation of these dependancies.
- Add menu item to set the footnote popup font size, relative to
the book font size.
- SpinWidget: allow for showing some informative text
When a link is covered by the footnote widget, we highlight it
again when closing the footnote, and schedule an unhighlight
0.5s later.
When we tap on another footnote link, this was happening too
but the unhighlight unhighlighted all, including the new
footnote link.
This disable the former when the latter happens.
Adds new options to the Links> submenu, for now only
available and used with CRE documents.
- Allow larger tap area around links
- Ignore external links
- Show footnotes in popup
- Show more links as footnotes
(This last item is mostly for testing and loosening the
footnote detection algorithm, and see how it would behave
with glossary-like links and inter glossary terms links.)
Fix distance computation from gesture position to link by
using segments.
Code for detecting if a link is a footnote is in cre.cpp, and
tweakable a bit with flags in ReaderLink:showAsFoonotePopup().
Footnotes HTML content is displayed by a new FootnoteWidget,
which uses MuPDF for its rendering.
From it, swipe south or tap outside to close, swipe to the left
to follow the original link and jump to the footnote location
in the book.
Also fix tap on highlights after the recent change to use segments
for displaying: use segments also when checking taps.
