## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Small cleanup to make getTheme and getMetrics methods on UITheme const.
They return const refs, so updated call sites to use `const auto&`.
Realistically this won't make much performance difference, but it better
conveys the nature of theme metrics being shared const state.

## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
This PR introduces Internationalization (i18n) support, enabling users
to switch the UI language dynamically.
**What changes are included?**
- Core Logic: Added I18n class (`lib/I18n/I18n.h/cpp`) to manage
language state and string retrieval.
- Data Structures:
- `lib/I18n/I18nStrings.h/cpp`: Static string arrays for each supported
language.
- `lib/I18n/I18nKeys.h`: Enum definitions for type-safe string access.
- `lib/I18n/translations.csv`: single source of truth.
- Documentation: Added `docs/i18n.md` detailing the workflow for
developers and translators.
- New Settings activity:
`src/activities/settings/LanguageSelectActivity.h/cpp`
## Additional Context
This implementation (building on concepts from #505) prioritizes
performance and memory efficiency.
The core approach is to store all localized strings for each language in
dedicated arrays and access them via enums. This provides O(1) access
with zero runtime overhead, and avoids the heap allocations, hashing,
and collision handling required by `std::map` or `std::unordered_map`.
The main trade-off is that enums and string arrays must remain perfectly
synchronized—any mismatch would result in incorrect strings being
displayed in the UI.
To eliminate this risk, I added a Python script that automatically
generates `I18nStrings.h/.cpp` and `I18nKeys.h` from a CSV file, which
will serve as the single source of truth for all translations. The full
design and workflow are documented in `docs/i18n.md`.
### Next Steps
- [x] Python script `generate_i18n.py` to auto-generate C++ files from
CSV
- [x] Populate translations.csv with initial translations.
Currently available translations: English, Español, Français, Deutsch,
Čeština, Português (Brasil), Русский, Svenska.
Thanks, community!
**Status:** EDIT: ready to be merged.
As a proof of concept, the SPANISH strings currently mirror the English
ones, but are fully uppercased.

## Summary
Currently, each activity has to manage their own `displayTaskLoop` which
adds redundant boilerplate code. The loop is a wait loop which is also
not the best practice, as the `updateRequested` boolean is not protected
by a mutex.
In this PR:
- Move `displayTaskLoop` to the super `Activity` class
- Replace `updateRequested` with freeRTOS's [direct to task
notification](https://www.freertos.org/Documentation/02-Kernel/02-Kernel-features/03-Direct-to-task-notifications/01-Task-notifications)
- For `ActivityWithSubactivity`, whenever a sub-activity is present, the
parent's `render()` automatically goes inactive
With this change, activities now only need to expose `render()`
function, and anywhere in the code base can call `requestUpdate()` to
request a new rendering pass.
## Additional Context
In theory, this change may also make the battery life a bit better,
since one wait loop is removed. Although the equipment in my home lab
wasn't been able to verify it (the electric current is too noisy and
small). Would appreciate if anyone has any insights on this subject.
Update: I managed to hack [a small piece of
code](https://github.com/ngxson/crosspoint-reader/tree/xsn/measure_cpu_usage)
that allow tracking CPU idle time.
The CPU load does decrease a bit (1.47% down to 1.39%), which make
sense, because the display task is now sleeping most of the time unless
notified. This should translate to a slightly increase in battery life
in the long run.

## Summary
* Definition and use of a central LOG function, that can later be
extended or completely be removed (for public use where debugging
information may not be required) to save flash by suppressing the
-DENABLE_SERIAL_LOG like in the slim branch
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* By using the central logger the usual:
```
#include <HardwareSerial.h>
...
Serial.printf("[%lu] [WCS] Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes\n", millis(), data.size());
```
would then become
```
#include <Logging.h>
...
LOG_DBG("WCS", "Obfuscating/deobfuscating %zu bytes", data.size());
```
You do have ``LOG_DBG`` for debug messages, ``LOG_ERR`` for error
messages and ``LOG_INF`` for informational messages. Depending on the
verbosity level defined (see below) soe of these message types will be
suppressed/not-compiled.
* The normal compilation (default) will create a firmware.elf file of
42.194.356 bytes, the same code via slim will create 42.024.048 bytes -
170.308 bytes less
* Firmware.bin : 6.469.984 bytes for default, 6.418.672 bytes for slim -
51.312 bytes less

This PR unifies navigation handling & adds system-wide support for
continuous navigation.
## Summary
Holding down a navigation button now continuously advances through items
until the button is released. This removes the need for repeated
press-and-release actions and makes navigation faster and smoother,
especially in long menus or documents.
When page-based navigation is available, it will navigate through pages.
If not, it will progress through menu items or similar list-based UI
elements.
Additionally, this PR fixes inconsistencies in wrap-around behavior and
navigation index calculations.
Places where the navigation system was updated:
- Home Page
- Settings Pages
- My Library Page
- WiFi Selection Page
- OPDS Browser Page
- Keyboard
- File Transfer Page
- XTC Chapter Selector Page
- EPUB Chapter Selector Page
I’ve tested this on the device as much as possible and tried to match
the existing behavior. Please let me know if I missed anything. Thanks 🙏

Following the request from @osteotek and @daveallie for system-wide
support, the old PR (#379) has been closed in favor of this
consolidated, system-wide implementation.

## Summary
This is an updated version of @itsthisjustin's #346 that builds on
current master and also deduplicates the settings list so we don't have
two copies of the settings. In the Web UI, it should organize the
settings a little closer to what you see on device.
## Additional Context
I tested this live on device and it seems to play nicely for me. It's
re-based on master since master's settings stuff has moved somewhat
since the original PR and addresses the sole review comment #346 - it
also means that I don't need to manually key in the URL for my OPDS
server. :)

## Summary
This pull request introduces a new "Chapter Progress Bar" mode to the
status bar, allowing users to track their progress within the current
chapter in addition to the existing book-level progress options. It also
unifies and increases the progress bar height for better visibility, and
updates the settings UI to support the new mode.
Closes#636
**Status Bar/Progress Bar Enhancements:**
* Added a new `CHAPTER_PROGRESS_BAR` mode to
`CrossPointSettings::STATUS_BAR_MODE`, and updated the settings UI to
allow users to select this mode.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
The goal of this PR is to deliver a fix for or at least mitigate the
impact of the issue described in #561
* **What changes are included?**
This PR includes a new option "Sunlight Fading Fix" under "Settings ->
Display".
When set to ON, we will disable the displays analog supply voltage after
every update and turn it back on before the next update.
## Additional Context
* Until now, I was only able to do limited testing because of limited
sunlight at my location, but the fix seems to be working. I'll also
attach a pre-built binary based on 0.16.0 (current master) with the fix
applied to the linked ticket, as building this fix is a bit annoying
because the submodule open-x4-sdk also needs an update.
* [PR in
open-x4-sdk](https://github.com/open-x4-epaper/community-sdk/pull/15)
needs to be merged first, we also need to add another commit to this
here PR, updating this dependency.
* I decided to hide this behind a default-OFF option. While I'm not
really concerned that this fix might potentially damage the display,
someone more knowledgeable on E-Ink technology could maybe have a look
at this.
* There's a binary attached in the linked issue, if someone has the
required sunlight to test this in-depth.

## Summary
### What is the goal of this PR?
- Visual UI overhaul
- UI theme selection
### What changes are included?
- Added a setting "UI Theme": Classic, Lyra
- The classic theme is the current Crosspoint theme
- The Lyra theme implements these mockups:
https://www.figma.com/design/UhxoV4DgUnfrDQgMPPTXog/Lyra-Theme?node-id=2003-7596&t=4CSOZqf0n9uQMxDt-0
by Discord users yagofarias, ruby and gan_shu
- New functions in GFXRenderer to render rounded rectangles, greyscale
fills (using dithering) and thick lines
- Basic UI components are factored into BaseTheme methods which can be
overridden by each additional theme. Methods that are not overridden
will fallback to BaseTheme behavior. This means any new
features/components in CrossPoint only need to be developed for the
"Classic" BaseTheme.
- Additional themes can easily be developed by the community using this
foundation
## Additional Context
- Only the Home, Library and main Settings screens have been implemented
so far, this will be extended to the transfer screens and chapter
selection screen later on, but we need to get the ball rolling somehow
:)
- Loading extra covers on the home screen in the Lyra theme takes a
little more time (about 2 seconds), I added a loading bar popup (reusing
the Indexing progress bar from the reader view, factored into a neat UI
component) but the popup adds ~400ms to the loading time.
- ~~Home screen thumbnails will need to be generated separately for each
theme, because they are displayed in different sizes. Because we're
using dithering, displaying a thumb with the wrong size causes the
picture to look janky or dark as it does on the screenshots above. No
worries this will be fixed in a future PR.~~ Thumbs are now generated
with a size parameter
- UI Icons will need to be implemented in a future PR.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?** This PR introduces a new "Status Bar"
mode that displays a visual progress bar at the bottom of the screen,
providing readers with a graphical indication of their position within
the book.
* **What changes are included?**
* **Settings**: Updated SettingsActivity to expand the "Status Bar"
configuration with a new option: Full w/ Progress Bar.
* **EPUB Reader**: Modified EpubReaderActivity to calculate the global
book progress and render a progress bar at the bottom of the viewable
area when the new setting is active.
* **TXT Reader**: Modified TxtReaderActivity to implement similar
progress bar rendering logic based on the current page and total page
count.
## Additional Context
* The progress bar is rendered with a height of 4 pixels at the very
bottom of the screen (adjusted for margins).
* The feature reuses the existing renderStatusBar logic but
conditionally draws the bar instead of (or in addition to) other
elements depending on the specific implementation details in each
reader.
* Renamed existing 'Full' mode to 'Full w/ Percentage'
* Added new 'Full w/ Progress Bar' option

Our esp32 consistently dropped the last few packets of the TCP transfer
in the old implementation. Only about 1/5 transfers would complete. I've
refactored that entire system into an actual Calibre Device Plugin that
basically uses the exact same system as the web server's file transfer
protocol. I kept them separate so that we don't muddy up the existing
file transfer stuff even if it's basically the same at the end of the
day I didn't want to limit our ability to change it later.
I've also added basic auth to OPDS and renamed that feature to OPDS
Browser to just disassociate it from Calibre.

## Summary
When uploading or downloading an updated ebook from SD/WebUI/OPDS with
same the filename the `.crosspoint` cache is not cleared. This can lead
to issues with the Table of Contents and hangs when switching between
chapters.
I encountered this issue in two places:
- When I need to do further ePub cleaning using Calibre after I load an
ePub and find that some of its formatting should be cleaned up. When I
reprocess the same book and want to place it back in the same location I
need a way to invalidate the cache.
- When syncing RSS feed generated epubs. I generate news ePubs with
filenames like `news-outlet.epub` and so every day when I fetch new news
the crosspoint cache needs to be cleared to load that file.
This change offers the following features:
- On web uploads, if the file already exists, the cache for that file is
cleared
- On OPDS downloads, if the file already exists, the cache for that file
is cleared
- There's now an action for `Clear Cache` in the Settings page which can
clear the cache for all books

## Summary
* Adds (optional) Hyphenation for English, French, German, Russian
languages
## Additional Context
* Included hyphenation dictionaries add approximately 280kb to the flash
usage (German alone takes 200kb)
* Trie encoded dictionaries are adopted from hypher project
(https://github.com/typst/hypher)
* Soft hyphens (and other explicit hyphens) take precedence over
dict-based hyphenation. Overall, the hyphenation rules are quite
aggressive, as I believe it makes more sense on our smaller screen.

* **What is the goal of this PR?**
* This PR adds a setting to (additionally) map the forward page turn
onto the powerbutton when in `EPUBReaderActivity` and powerbutton short
press is not mapped to sleep mode. I find the powerbutton to be exactly
where my thumb is while reading so it is very convenient to map the
forwardpage turn to that. Maybe Im not alone with this ^^

## Summary

## Additional Context
By disabling the Text Anti-Aliasing in the settings, you can get faster
black-and-white page turns that work exactly like the stock firmware,
instead of having an additional flash after rendering (see issue linked
above for example).
Tested on the X4 and confirmed working.

## Summary
Adds support for browsing and downloading books from a Calibre-web
server via OPDS.
How it works
1. Configure server URL in Settings → Calibre Web URL (e.g.,
https://myserver.com:port I use Cloudflare tunnel to make my server
accessible anywhere fwiw)
2. "Calibre Library" will now show on the the home screen
3. Browse the catalog - navigate through categories like "By Newest",
"By Author", "By Series", etc.
4. Download books - select a book and press Confirm to download the EPUB
to your device
Navigation
- Up/Down - Move through entries
- Confirm - Open folder or download book
- Back - Go to parent catalog, or exit to home if at root
- Navigation entries show with > prefix, books show title and author
- Button hints update dynamically ("Open" for folders, "Download" for
books)
Technical details

## Additional Context
* I also changed the home titles to use uppercase for each word and
added a setting to change the size of the side margins

Added a setting to select `fit` or `crop` for cover image on sleep
screen.
Might add a `expand` feature in the future that does not crop but rather
fills the blank space with a mirror of the image.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
* This PR adds a setting to control the top left and right margins of
the reader screen in 4 sizes (5, 10, 20, 40 pt?) and defaults to `SMALL`
which is equivalent to the fixed margin of 5 that was already in use
before.
* **What changes are included?**
## Additional Context
* Add any other information that might be helpful for the reviewer
(e.g., performance implications, potential risks, specific areas to
focus on).

## Summary
Fixes a bug in the settings menu, where previously wrap-around only
worked when scrolling upwards. Now, scrolling downwards on the last list
element wraps around to the top as expected.
Resolves#236.

## Summary
* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add a new user setting for paragraph alignment, instead of hard-coding
full justification.
* **What changes are included?**
One new line in the settings screen, with 4 options
(justify/left/center/right). Default is justified since that's what it
was already. I personally only wanted to disable justification and use
"left", but I included the other options for completeness since they
were already supported.
## Additional Context
Tested on my X4 and looks as expected for each alignment.

## Summary
* Update EpdFontFamily::Style to be u8 instead of u32 (saving 3 bytes
per word)
* Update layout width/height to be u16 from int
* Update page element count to be u16 from u32
* Update text block element count to be u16 from u32
* Bumped section bin version to version 8
## Summary
* Swap from Aleo to Bookerly for wider glyph support
* Swap from Space Grotesk to a small Noto Sans
## Additional Context
* 0.11.0 swapped to Aleo which has a few issues (things like Cyrillic
support for eg)
## Summary
* Add setting for line spacing to adjust space between lines
* Aleo is already a bit tighter than Noto Sans and Open Dyslexic, so
have adjusted the values to match, this can be tweaked in the future
## Summary
* Swap to updated SDCardManager which uses SdFat
* Add exFAT support
* Swap to using FsFile everywhere
* Use newly exposed `SdMan` macro to get to static instance of
SDCardManager
* Move a bunch of FsHelpers up to SDCardManager
## Summary
**What is the goal of this PR?**
Adds a setting to swap the front buttons. The default functionality are:
Back/Confirm/Left/Right. When this setting is enabled they become:
Left/Right/Back/Confirm. This makes it more comfortable to use when
holding in your right hand since your thumb can more easily rest on the
next button. The original firmware has a similar setting.
**What changes are included?**
- Add the new setting.
- Create a mapper to dynamically switch the buttons based on the
setting.
- Use mapper on the various activity screens.
- Update the button hints to reflect the swapped buttons.
## Additional Context
Full disclosure: I used Codex CLI to put this PR together, but did
review it to make sure it makes sense.

• What is the goal of this PR?
Implement a horizontal EPUB reading mode so books can be read in
landscape orientation (both 90° and 270°), while keeping the rest of the
UI in portrait.
• What changes are included?
◦ Rendering / Display
▪ Added an orientation model to GfxRenderer (Portrait, LandscapeNormal,
LandscapeFlipped) and made:
▪ drawPixel, drawImage, displayWindow map logical coordinates
differently depending on orientation.
▪ getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() return orientation‑aware logical
dimensions (480×800 in portrait, 800×480 in landscape).
◦ Settings / Configuration
▪ Extended CrossPointSettings with:
▪ landscapeReading (toggle for portrait vs. landscape EPUB reading).
▪ landscapeFlipped (toggle to flip landscape 180° so both horizontal
holding directions are supported).
▪ Updated settings serialization/deserialization to persist these fields
while remaining backward‑compatible with existing settings files.
▪ Updated SettingsActivity to expose two new toggles:
▪ “Landscape Reading”
▪ “Flip Landscape (swap top/bottom)”
◦ EPUB Reader
▪ In EpubReaderActivity:
▪ On onEnter, set GfxRenderer orientation based on the new settings
(Portrait, LandscapeNormal, or LandscapeFlipped).
▪ On onExit, reset orientation back to Portrait so Home, WiFi, Settings,
etc. continue to render as before.
▪ Adjusted renderStatusBar to position the status bar and battery
indicator relative to GfxRenderer::getScreenHeight() instead of
hard‑coded Y coordinates, so it stays correctly at the bottom in both
portrait and landscape.
◦ EPUB Caching / Layout
▪ Extended Section cache metadata (section.bin) to include the logical
screenWidth and screenHeight used when pages were generated; bumped
SECTION_FILE_VERSION.
▪ Updated loadCacheMetadata to compare:
▪ font/margins/line compression/extraParagraphSpacing and screen
dimensions; mismatches now invalidate and clear the cache.
▪ Updated persistPageDataToSD and all call sites in EpubReaderActivity
to pass the current GfxRenderer::getScreenWidth() / getScreenHeight() so
portrait and landscape caches are kept separate and correctly sized.
Additional Context
• Cache behavior / migration
◦ Existing section.bin files (old SECTION_FILE_VERSION) will be detected
as incompatible and their caches cleared and rebuilt once per chapter
when first opened after this change.
◦ Within a given orientation, caches will be reused as before. Switching
orientation (portrait ↔ landscape) will cause a one‑time re‑index of
each chapter in the new orientation.
• Scope and risks
◦ Orientation changes are scoped to the EPUB reader; the Home screen,
Settings, WiFi selection, sleep screens, and web server UI continue to
assume portrait orientation.
◦ The renderer’s orientation is a static/global setting; if future code
uses GfxRenderer outside the reader while a reader instance is active,
it should be aware that orientation is no longer implicitly fixed.
◦ All drawing primitives now go through orientation‑aware coordinate
transforms; any code that previously relied on edge‑case behavior or
out‑of‑bounds writes might surface as logged “Outside range” warnings
instead.
• Testing suggestions / areas to focus on
◦ Verify in hardware:
▪ Portrait mode still renders correctly (boot, home, settings, WiFi,
reader).
▪ Landscape reading in both directions:
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = OFF.
▪ Landscape Reading = ON, Flip Landscape = ON.
▪ Status bar (page X/Y, % progress, battery icon) is fully visible and
aligned at the bottom in all three combinations.
◦ Open the same book:
▪ In portrait first, then switch to landscape and reopen it.
▪ Confirm that:
▪ Old portrait caches are rebuilt once for landscape (you should see the
“Indexing…” page).
▪ Progress save/restore still works (resume opens to the correct page in
the current orientation).
◦ Ensure grayscale rendering (the secondary pass in
EpubReaderActivity::renderContents) still looks correct in both
orientations.

Add setting toggle that allows status bar display options in EpubReader.
Supported options would be as follows:
- FULL: display as is today
- PROGRESS: display progress bar only
- BATTERY: display battery only
- NONE: hide status bar

## Summary
* Adds support for OTA
* Gets latest firmware bin from latest GitHub release
* I have noticed it be a little flaky unpacking the JSON and
occasionally failing to start
## Summary
* Give activities name and log when entering and exiting them
* Clearer logs when attempting to debug, knowing where users are coming
from/going to helps
