Rename it to "Dimension units", and make it a radio submenu.
Migrate the previous metric_length setting to this new dimension_units
one.
Update optionsutil to follow it.
And add an OTM block to do a cleanup pass on existing DBs (which might take a while if you're severely affected, because we've seen reports of DBs north of 2GB).
* Notification: Drop the fencing from #10083; it never actually helped, and had subtle side-effects we could do without.
* VirtualKeyBoard: Flash on close, otherwise, some of the fast refresh glitches may be burned into the working buffer until a flash. Making sure we flash ourselves prevent it from sticking around on the page ;).
* util: Move `writeToSysfs` to base (i.e., `ffi/util`), as we need it there (and it actually makes more sense there anyway ;p).
* Bump base for https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1645, which is where the actual workaround (hopefully) lives.
Re #8414, #9806, #10558
* Enable before_wifi_action & after_wifi_action on hasWifiToggle platforms (which is basically all of 'em except naked SDL).
* Decouple restoreWifiAsync from hasWifiManger, because we can do that on other platforms (namely, Kindle. Probably PB, too, but WiFi is already a mess there, and I can't test it).
* Implement restoreWifiAsync on Kindle.
* Properly flag rM as hasWifiManager & hasFastWifiStatusQuery, because it is actually both of those (it uses our wpa_supplicant backend).
* Update the KOSync checks to take these changes into account, to properly disable auto_sync if necessary.
* Really made the Network* event signaling consistent. For realz this time.
* In an effort to make the whole beforeWifiAction framework somewhat usable there, we now assume connectivity is always available on !hasWifiToggle platforms...
Fix: #10539, and for context #6489, #6733, #6534
Reorganize and reword most of the settings to make it clear what actually ties into auto sync, and what doesn't. (Specifically, what happens when a pull attempts to sync forward or backward has nothing to do with auto sync, it applies in all cases; while the periodic sync *does* require auto sync).
The main point of contention, though, is that auto sync will now *always* attempt to setup network connectivity (i.e., on resume/suspend/close). Periodic sync will *not* though (the intent being that, if you use periodic sync, you're relying on the activity check to actually keep wifi on at all times)).
Since this may lead to a large amount of nagging about wifi toggles on devices w/ NetworkManager support, it is now *disabled* by default on those devices. (And given that it wouldn't have worked because of the lack of connectivity, that doesn't really make any practical difference ;p).
Additionally, given the fact that there's no way to make this behavior viable if the "before wifi" action is left at its default of "prompt", this feature now *requires* that to be set to "turn_on" (on devices where it can, of course); attempting to toggle it on will warn about that if necessary.
This change is retroactive (OTM).
Includes an assortment of fixes and cleanups, including migrating to the new LuaSettings API, which is why there's no longer a smattering of superfluous flushes.
Such states (not quite sure how you could actively get in such a broken state to begin with, mind you) could lead to an attempt to load an old fontlist cache in an incompatible format.
Re: #9771
defaults.persistent.lua
We were pcall'ing the parsing, but not the execution...
The funky Lua syntax quirks means that it is possible to pass the former
but not the latter ;).
Fix#9700, de-facto regression since #9546
* UIManager: Support more specialized update modes for corner-cases:
* A2, which we'll use for the VirtualKeyboards keys (they'd... inadvertently switched to UI with the highlight refactor).
* NO_MERGE variants of ui & partial (for sunxi). Use `[ui]` in ReaderHighlight's popup, because of a Sage kernel bug that could otherwise make it translucent, sometimes completely so (*sigh*).
* UIManager: Assorted code cleanups & simplifications.
* Logger & dbg: Unify logging style, and code cleanups.
* SDL: Unbreak suspend/resume outside of the emulator (fix#9567).
* NetworkMgr: Cache the network status, and allow it to be queried. (Used by AutoSuspend to avoid repeatedly poking the system when computing the standby schedule delay).
* OneTimeMigration: Don't forget about `NETWORK_PROXY` & `STARDICT_DATA_DIR` when migrating `defaults.persistent.lua` (fix#9573)
* WakeupMgr: Workaround an apparent limitation of the RTC found on i.MX5 Kobo devices, where setting a wakealarm further than UINT16_MAX seconds in the future would apparently overflow and wraparound... (fix#8039, many thanks to @yfede for the extensive deep-dive and for actually accurately pinpointing the issue!).
* Kobo: Handle standby transitions at full CPU clock speeds, in order to limit the latency hit.
* UIManager: Properly quit on reboot & exit. This ensures our exit code is preserved, as we exit on our own terms (instead of being killed by the init system). This is important on platforms where exit codes are semantically meaningful (e.g., Kobo).
* UIManager: Speaking of reboot & exit, make sure the Screensaver shows in all circumstances (e.g., autoshutdown, re: #9542)), and that there aren't any extraneous refreshes triggered. (Additionally, fix a minor regression since #9448 about tracking this very transient state on Kobo & Cervantes).
* Kindle: ID the upcoming Scribe.
* Bump base (https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1524)
* 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.
Since I never actually needed to look into that data ever until today, let's just get rid of the weird debug-specific behavior.
Instead, just add a dedicated "Developer options" entry that will dump it on demand (and it'll be sorted to boot, which makes it 500% more usable).
Plus, since yesterday's change, the cache format switch between debug or not miiiight actually be crashy, so re-trigger the migration ;p.
* Includes a couple of noteworthy base bumps:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1516 (update to sdcv 0.5.4 + fixes pending upstream)
https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1517 (fix ffiUtil.orderedPairs with keys of mixed types)
* Android: Make sure sdcv can find the STL
* DocCache: Be less greedy when serializing to disk, and only do that for the *current* document ;).
* CanvasContext: Explicitly document API quirks.
* Fontlist: Switch the on-disk Persist format to zstd (it's ever so slightly faster).
* Bump base for https://github.com/koreader/koreader-base/pull/1515 (fix#9506)
Temporary (?) workaround for the Libra 2 EPDC race issues,
since we haven't really found any better solution,
and so far, newer kernels haven't really helped...
Re #8414
Store list of layouts in settings file as array of enabled
layouts only (up to 4 elements). Optimize code.
Allows sorting of the abbreviations in the globe popup:
just check layouts in the desired order (the first checked
will be northeast).
Requires onetime migration to clean up the settings.
