touch: beta_78 release notes

At-a-glance body drops to 20 px on the M9 (#446 )
Buko84: the notification text is too big on the M9. It is, and the fix was already made once for the same reason. 28 px was chosen so the message is legible from across a room, which it is, but on a 240x320 panel it fills the glance and crowds out the message it is supposed to be showing. The T-Deck was moved to 20 px for exactly this and the M9 has the same size panel; nobody widened the gate at the time. Three things had to change, not one: the extern declaration, the 20 px Latin fallback font's own build gate, and a LV_FONT_MONTSERRAT_20 flag on the M9 env, which was not building that size at all. Missing any of them is a link error rather than a small font, which is why it is worth naming. All nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# beta_78 - test build. Stable stays beta_65.
+# One user-facing note per non-blank, non-# line; # lines are section comments.
+
+# --- A crash at startup ---------------------------------------------------------------------
+A device could crash while starting up, before it finished booting, and on an unlucky unit that means it never comes up at all. Found by decoding a crash dump from a Heltec V4-R8.
+The cause was a race inside the Wi-Fi stack: the firmware was adding its Wi-Fi event handlers after the radio had already started, and a disconnect arriving in that moment could be handled while the list of handlers was being rebuilt underneath. The handlers are now all registered before the radio starts, which closes the window rather than narrowing it. A failed first connection is ordinary, which is why this could happen at all.
+
+# --- The location privacy setting was on the wrong page --------------------------------------
+beta_77 added an option to advertise a position near you rather than your exact one, and put it on a settings page most devices do not show. Two people went looking for it and correctly concluded it was not there. It is now in Settings, GPS, at the bottom.
+It is also easier to recognise: it is called "Location privacy" rather than "Position in adverts", and it shows four buttons, Exact, 100 m, 250 m and 1 km, so every choice and the current one are visible without tapping anything.
+
+# --- Lock screen notifications ----------------------------------------------------------------
+A message arriving on the lock screen now says who sent it and how far away they are, not just which conversation it was in. A channel post shows the channel, the sender and the hop count; a direct message shows the contact and "direct" when they are one hop away.
+Messages in a muted channel no longer light the screen. Muting silenced the sound but still woke the display and printed the message in large type, which was the louder half of the notification rather than the quieter one. Mentions are separate, so a channel muted for chatter still shows an @-mention.
+
+# --- ThinkNode M9 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Special characters can be selected. Contact search navigation, the contacts menu delay, and the composer being focused when a chat opens are all fixed, and the battery saver now shows in the status icons. All by Michael A. Cojocari, from reports by Buko84.
+The colour picker in Display settings no longer turns the swatch you are on white, which hid the colour you were choosing. Reported by Buko84.
+The notification text on a dark screen is smaller, so the message has room. It was sized to be readable from across a room, which crowded a 240x320 panel. Requested by Buko84.
+
+# --- Also ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The T-Lora Pager has a shortcut to the special-character picker, and several Attaky usability problems are fixed. Both by Michael A. Cojocari.
+
+# --- For testers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+If you use the lock screen notification, the two things worth confirming are that a muted channel stays dark and that an @-mention in that same channel still comes through.
+Still not verified on hardware, both off by default and unchanged: the DS3231 clock module support, written from the datasheet with nobody having wired one up, and the louder chime, whose pitch has not been measured on an M9.
+Still open and not fixed here: a reboot when pressing down past the bottom of a chat on the M9, which needs a crash dump to place; a screen that will not stay dark after a manual lock; and the web flasher hanging at "wrapping up" on the T-Display P4.

Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5	c106d47b9b	At-a-glance body drops to 20 px on the M9 (#446 ) Buko84: the notification text is too big on the M9. It is, and the fix was already made once for the same reason. 28 px was chosen so the message is legible from across a room, which it is, but on a 240x320 panel it fills the glance and crowds out the message it is supposed to be showing. The T-Deck was moved to 20 px for exactly this and the M9 has the same size panel; nobody widened the gate at the time. Three things had to change, not one: the extern declaration, the 20 px Latin fallback font's own build gate, and a LV_FONT_MONTSERRAT_20 flag on the M9 env, which was not building that size at all. Missing any of them is a link error rather than a small font, which is why it is worth naming. All nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets green.

Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5	1aa4496530	Lock-screen glance: say who and how far, and stay dark for muted channels Two changes to the at-a-glance notification, both asked for by Kaj. The title now carries the sender and the hop count, not just the thread. A channel post reads "#public - Alice - 3 hops"; a direct message reads "Alice - direct" without naming the sender twice, since a DM is already titled with them. Zero hops says "direct" rather than "0 hops", and 0xFF is OUT_PATH_UNKNOWN, an advert that arrived by flood, so it is omitted rather than printed as "255 hops" -- the same trap that produced the Discovered list bug. The point is that a count off a dark screen tells you nothing you can act on, whereas a named contact one hop away against channel chatter from five hops out is the reason to pick the device up at all. Muted channels no longer light the screen. That was arguably backwards: muting silenced the chime while the message still woke the display and printed itself in large type, which is the louder half of the notification rather than the quieter one. Muting is a statement about a conversation, so it now covers both. Mentions keep their own mute bit, matching how the chime already treats them, so a channel muted for chatter still surfaces an @-mention. If mute should instead mean nothing at all gets through, that is a one-line change. All nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets green.

Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5	37aac2736c	Accent colour picker: the swatch you are on no longer hides its own colour (#431 ) Buko84 again, and the same defect I fixed for the lock-screen picker: each swatch set its colour for the default state only, so the theme was free to repaint the focused one. On a d-pad board the swatch you are standing on is always focused, so it turned white and hid the colour you were choosing. I fixed the lock-screen picker and missed this one, which is the second instance of the same mistake in the same file. The colour is now pinned across the focused, pressed and checked states here too, and focus draws as a ring outside the swatch so it can never cover the colour. The swatches are also scaled rather than raw pixels now, the same class as #238. All nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets green.

Kaj Schittecat	03d05d7e57	Merge PR #442 (oumike): focus the M9 composer when opening chats Conflict with the M9 pending-focus block from #440 resolved by keeping both and making the ordering explicit. #442 reworks the focus-hint logic so a hint belonging to the page behind a newly opened overlay cannot suppress the new-chat composer fallback (#436); #440's block places focus deliberately and sets focus_set. Without a guard the reworked chain fell through to the just-opened-chat branch and moved that focus, which is precisely what #440's block exists to prevent, so the chain now has an explicit first arm for it.	2026-09-07 14:19:49 +02:00

Kaj SchittecatandClaude Opus 5	96ba457984	Fix a Wi-Fi callback race that crashed at boot, and make the GPS privacy setting reachable Two things, both found by looking rather than by being told. A Heltec V4-R8 crash dump from beta_77 decodes to a data race in the Arduino core's Wi-Fi event list. Correcting for the unwinder mangling Xtensa return addresses, the event task was inside _eventCallback copying a WiFiEventCbList entry, iterating the callback vector, while loopTask was still in setup() inside _M_realloc_insert growing that same vector through WiFi.onEvent(). The reallocation frees the buffer the event task is walking, so it then calls through a dangling function pointer, which is the garbage program counter in the dump. Neither side locks, and the vector is the core's, not ours. What is ours is the ordering: both handlers were registered AFTER the stack was started, one of them after WiFi.begin(), so a STA_DISCONNECTED arriving during boot association lands in the window. A failed first association is ordinary, which is why this happens at all. Both now register before WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA), so nothing mutates the vector once events can flow and the race is impossible rather than unlikely. This is a crash during setup(), so on an unlucky unit it is a bootloop, which makes it worth more than its single report. The moved handler drops its WIFI_DEBUG_PRINTLN tracing, which comes from a header not in scope that early. The prints compile to nothing in a release build and the reconnect flag they accompanied is unchanged. Separately: the location-privacy setting shipped in beta_77 on the wrong page. It was inside the Sensors section rather than GPS, because the insertion was anchored to a comment belonging to the Sensors block, and that section is described in its own code as V4-with-kit only. So on most boards it was not reachable at all, which is exactly what two people reported: they went looking and correctly concluded it was not there. It now sits in the GPS section, is named "Location privacy" rather than "Position in adverts" (nobody searching for a privacy control scans for the word "adverts"), and offers four buttons instead of a cycling one, so every option and the current choice are visible without touching anything. Given the failure here was discoverability, showing the most without interaction is the point. All nine S3 envs and both ESP32-P4 targets green.
