- adds tag serial debug in webflasher and power up/down buttons
- fixes bug where esp32-s3 connected via usb cdc slows down when no terminal connection is present
- fix: ghost tags reporting a different channel id than the AP are now ignored
- webflasher now ramps up/down power to prevent spikes
- bugfix: C6 doesn't get reset anoymore by the watchdog during flashing
- bugfix: C6 could go in flash mode unintended
- a failed connection during swd write blocks is now reported back instead of silently ignored
- added 4 areas of Sweden to day ahead price content
- new context menu option 'Delete all inactive tags' (only when right clicking on an inactive tag).
- adjusted some timings
- added webinterface for tag flasher
- added tcp transport for communicating with tag flasher (OTG USB also still works)
- added content 'timestamp', makes use of preloaded images and buttons on the 2.9" M3
- webinterface is now aware of C6 and flasher capabilities
- AP can run without ieee801.15.4 radio (i.e. flasher only) by shorting FLASHER_AP_TXD and FLASHER_AP_RXD
- added tcp transport option to OEPL-Flasher.py (serial also still works)
- added new environment OpenEPaperLink_Mini_AP_v4
- lots of finetuning and bug fixes
Pretty complex change here: pending images/commands are now queued.
A command (like LED flasher) will not overwrite a pending image anymore. Also, sending multiple preloaded images is possible.
Also works (at least, as far as I could test) in combination with Multi AP and mirroring tags ('display a copy' content type).
It you want to test this: don't forget to upload the changed files in /www (the pending icon is now displaying the amount of queued messages). Timing improvements will follow later (only one message can be transmitted every checkin. If multiple messages are queued, at this moment, you have to wait until the next checkin which takes 40-60 sec).
This comes also with the advantage of better stability if you upload multiple images to the same tag in succession. Before queuing, if was possible to replace the image between sending the pending message and the image transfer to the tag, causing md5 mismatches and instability.
Solves #47
- changed ESPAsyncWebServer and AsyncTCP (both not properly maintained for more than 5 years) to more recent fork with bugfixes
- fixed concurrency issues in /imgupload. Hurts the upload performance a lot, but probably that's not a real issue. Parallel uploads are now possible (still within the max 5 TCP connection limit)
- Added Signika-SB.ttf and some small bitmap fonts
- Removed calibrib50/60/80/100/120/150 bitmap fonts, as they can be better rendered using truetype. Fallback is in place to auto translate to Signika-SB.ttf with the right size in case it is still used in a json template
- Renamed confusing tag type names to 'M2 + size' and 'M3 + size'. Because the universal firmware, there is no need to tell every subtile type change apart anymore.
- added `textbox` to json templates (https://github.com/jjwbruijn/OpenEPaperLink/wiki/Json-template#paragraph-text)
- redesign of count days/hours
- redesign of RSS feed
- designed Buienradar for more tag sizes
- on a scheduled or user initiated reboot, 'REBOOTING' is sent to the error channel of the websockets just before the connection is dropped
- phased out "hwtype": [] in content_cards.json (new location is in the tagtype json, which contains a list of valid content types)
In case of problems using this commit: keep in mind the heavy caching of the tagtypes in the browser. You might still unknowingly use the old contents.
* New hardware profile: PoE AP
- added harware profiles for C6 firmware in menuconfig
- added free PSRAM stat in webinterface
* fix(fsfree): fixed var type of freesize of FS
* Add formatString convenience function
* Use String& for wsLog, wsErr and wsSerial
* Add tag data parser and parse tag data
* Make logLine use String&
* Fix issue with formatString
* Reuse payloadLength in processTagReturnData
* Fix parsing of unsigned/signed inetegers and cleanup
* Use c++17 standard
* Cleanup logging
To flash the C6, place bootloader.bin, partition-table.bin and OpenEPaperLink_esp32_C6.bin in the file system root.
APconfig -> update -> advanced options -> update ESP32-C6
This should also work with a previous unconfigured C6.
Compatible with Yellow-AP.
- Wifi connection progress is now visible on the TFT
- passthrough serial logging from the C6 to the S3 terminal for easier debugging
- no checks on force_flash and APtag-firmware version when C6 is used
This one saves a lot of flash space.
Now, wifimanager is replaced with our own method for managing the wifi connections.
Also, the whole thing will run now even if there is no wifi. If wifi disappears, it automatically tries to reconnect in the background every few minutes.
Wifi settings now available at all times at /setup
If it cannot connect, an access point 'OpenEPaperLink' is created where you can set the wifi credentials (http://192.168.4.1/setup).
So far the platform-io build-flags config option was a copy&paste
situation from one board to the next.
With the recently introduced new supported board these build-flags
are redundant and difficult to oversee.
Longterm they should ideally be partially generated to ensure a good
customizability but for now we are moving the common ones into the
base env where they can be imported by all the boards.

We currently have two ways of undefining the PowerPin in software for the ESP32
For once we can set POWER_NO_SOFT_POWER which will lead to some helpful screen
messages _but_ will still require the definition of the FLASHER_AP_POWER pin.
The second way (which was replaced with POWER_NO_SOFT_POWER) allowed to set the
powerPin array to {-1} to indicate that the pin is undefined. This would then be
handled in pretty far down the call stack right before toggeling the pin in powerControl:
```
void powerControl(bool powerState, uint8_t* pin, uint8_t pincount) {
if (pin[0] == -1) return;
```
This however is leading to an error: pin is n pointer (here an array with additional length)
to an uint8_t which can never be -1. Therefore the check wont ever be reached and an invalid
gpio number is passed to the gpio hal.
This caused the error:
```
E (XXXX) gpio: gpio_set_level(226): GPIO output gpio_num error
```
to show up in the logs.
We are now proposing three seperate changes to mitigate this behaviour:
1) We are addng the POWER_NO_SOFT_POWER to the Wemos and the M5Stack boards default configs
for new users to find.
2) We are replacing the pin[0] check in powerControl with a check on the pincount and a
nullptr check as the zbs_interface->begin() allows for no powerPin to be passed in which
case we are dereferencing a nullptr.
3) ZBS_interface->begin() is losing its powerPin related default configurations and
sanity checks are put in place before every calling.
We have opted to do 3) in this way and not adding the checked into the ZBS_interface->begin()
function which is also passed an uint8_t pointer to keep the API of the class stable
for reuse in other projects. Changing the interface however would be ideal here

- cleanup font in flash. Don't forget to update content_template.json in the file system after updating fw.
- fix layout issue in update window
- better error handling + auto retry during fw update
- fixed spelling 'weemos' -> 'wemos_d1_mini32' in build name
The AP-Tags are not very fast at flashing. SoftSPI is fast enough for the
rare flashing.
This gives us the ability to move the AP connection to arbitrary pins.

The M5stack board offers three interesting features for use with
OpenEPaperLink:
- LCD
- SDCard slot
- Modules including a batters
Which means it can easily be used to walk around with an AP for testing
purposes.
The LCD is currely not used as the M5Stack library is so old that it collides
with newer versions of eTFT which we are importing already.

The original weemos D1 mini was one of the most popular
ESP8266 boards. To this day many designs are designed around its
formfactor.
The successor is the here added D1 mini 32. It brings the same
"core" header with 8 GPIO but also additional io.
We are adding a default config which is workable with the old
pinconfig as those are usually the only ones exposed on the
breakout boards.
