feat: widen battery icons and add charging indicator

- Increase battery width to 1.5x original (small: 15→23px, large: 20→30px) - Add lightning bolt overlay when USB/charging detected - Bolt traced from SVG, centered in fill area regardless of charge level - Add isUsbConnected() to MappedInputManager for charging detection - Update layout spacing constants for wider battery

+## ef-1.0.5
+
+**Stability & Memory Improvements**
+
+### Bug Fixes - Webserver
+
+- **File Transfer Stability**: Removed blocking MD5 hash computation from file listings that caused EAGAIN errors and connection stalls
+- **JSON Batching**: Implemented 2KB batch streaming for file listings with pacing to prevent TCP buffer overflow
+- **Simplified Flow Control**: Removed unnecessary yield/delay logic from content streaming
+
+### Bug Fixes - Memory
+
+- **QR Code Caching**: Generate QR codes once on server start instead of regenerating on each screen render
+- **WiFi Scan Optimization**: Replaced memory-heavy `std::map` deduplication with in-place vector search, limited results to 20 networks, earlier `WiFi.scanDelete()` for faster memory recovery
+- **Cover Buffer Leak**: Fixed 48KB memory leak when navigating from Home to File Transfer (cover buffer now explicitly freed)
+
+### Bug Fixes - EPUB Reader
+
+- **Errant Underlining**: Fixed words before styled inline elements (like `<a>` tags with CSS underline) incorrectly receiving the element's style by flushing the text buffer before style changes
+
+### Bug Fixes - Flashing Screen
+
+- **Version String Overflow**: Fixed flash notification parsing failing on longer version strings (buffer limit increased from 30 to 50 characters)
+- **Display Quality**: Changed flashing screen to half refresh for cleaner appearance
+- **Timing**: Adjusted pre-flash script timing for half refresh completion
+
+### Upstream Merges
+
+- **PR #522 - HAL Abstraction Layer**: Merged hardware abstraction layer refactor introducing `HalDisplay` and `HalGPIO` classes, decoupling application code from direct hardware access
+- **PR #603 - Sunlight Fading Fix**: Added user-toggleable setting to turn off display between refreshes, mitigating the sunlight fading issue on e-ink displays
+  - New "Sunlight Fading Fix" toggle in Display settings (OFF/ON)
+  - Passes `turnOffScreen` parameter through display stack when enabled
+
+### Files Changed
+
+- `src/main.cpp` - flash screen fixes, cover buffer free on File Transfer entry, fading fix integration
+- `scripts/pre_flash.py` - timing adjustments for full refresh
+- `src/network/CrossPointWebServer.cpp` - JSON batching, removed MD5 from listings
+- `src/network/CrossPointWebServer.h` - removed md5 from FileInfo, simplified sendContentSafe
+- `src/activities/network/CrossPointWebServerActivity.cpp` - QR code caching
+- `src/activities/network/CrossPointWebServerActivity.h` - QR code cache members
+- `src/activities/network/WifiSelectionActivity.cpp` - WiFi scan memory optimization
+- `lib/Epub/Epub/parsers/ChapterHtmlSlimParser.cpp` - flush buffer before style changes
+- `lib/hal/HalDisplay.h` - new HAL abstraction for display (PR #522), turnOffScreen parameter (PR #603)
+- `lib/hal/HalDisplay.cpp` - HAL display implementation with fading fix passthrough
+- `lib/hal/HalGPIO.h` - new HAL abstraction for GPIO (PR #522)
+- `lib/hal/HalGPIO.cpp` - HAL GPIO implementation
+- `lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.h` - updated for HAL layer, added fadingFix member
+- `lib/GfxRenderer/GfxRenderer.cpp` - updated for HAL layer, passes fadingFix to display
+- `src/CrossPointSettings.h` - added fadingFix setting
+- `src/CrossPointSettings.cpp` - fadingFix persistence
+- `src/activities/settings/SettingsActivity.cpp` - added Sunlight Fading Fix toggle
+- `open-x4-sdk` - updated submodule with turnOffScreen support in EInkDisplay
+

+
+## ef-1.0.4
+
+**EPUB Rendering & Stability**
+
+### New Features
+
+- **End-of-Book "Start Over"**: Press next at end of book to wrap to first page
+
+### EPUB Rendering Improvements
+
+- CSS `margin-left`/`padding-left` parsing for block indentation
+- Vertical bar and italic styling for blockquotes
+- Left margin indentation for list items (`<ol>`/`<ul>`)
+- Fixed ordered lists showing bullets instead of numbers
+- Fixed nested `<p>` inside `<li>` causing marker on separate line
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Webserver**: Fixed file listing disconnection issues with flow control
+- **Webserver**: Memory optimization for File Transfer mode (frees heap before starting)
+- **Dictionary**: Fixed zip dictionary allocation order for better memory allocation success
+
+---
+
+## ef-1.0.3
+
+**Maintenance Release**
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed cppcheck CI failure: removed unused `screenWidth` variable in word selection activity
+

+
 ## ef-1.0.2
