on GitHub

Test build, on top of beta_91. Stable stays beta_85.

Flash it at flasher.wadamesh.com (switch the toggle to Beta), or update on the device if you have "Get test builds (beta)" turned on.

Faster screens

The screens draw faster. Measured on a T-Deck with the still aurora, in milliseconds per frame:

That is a third to a half more frames a second, with the same pixels. The T-Deck drew every frame in 14 slices, each a walk through the whole screen, and now draws it in 6; the still aurora is drawn once and copied instead of worked out again every frame; and the drawing code is compiled for speed, with its busiest loops in the chip's fast memory.

The same treatment reaches the ThinkNode M9, Attaky, RAK WisMesh Tap V2, Wio Tracker L2, CrowPanel 3.5 and Heltec V4-R8, and the T-LoRa Pager draws in fewer slices. Those were not tested on their own hardware yet, so please report how scrolling feels there, and anything that looks off. The Heltec V4 gets the smaller part (rounded corners and gradients are cached now); it has no flash left for the rest.

Fixes

• Hop counts above 64 (#621, reported by @jesshampshire): with 2- and 3-byte path hashes the hop count shares its byte with the hash size, and the Discovered list, the "auto-delete above N hops" setting and the direct-neighbour checks read the whole byte. The auto-delete setting could throw away nodes one hop away.
• Arabic (#582, thanks @jcyrio and a native-speaking tester): letters join properly (آ, ئ, ة and the Persian digits were wrong in the graphics library), Shift gives the Arabic 101 shift layer (أ إ آ, لأ لإ لآ, ، ؛ and the tashkeel), ك is on 8, ! $ @ type themselves again and ? types ؟. Text leaves the device as standard Arabic letters, so a #channel name gives the same channel as on a phone.
• Info popup colours (#602): a long repeater name that wraps no longer scrambles the colours and lines after it. @NewtsLament found the cause.
• Chat settings on keypad boards (#623, reported by @bobbythefett): on the ThinkNode M9, Tanmatsu and T-LoRa Pager, move up to the conversation header and press Enter for a chat's settings, Region & scope included.
• Browser start page (#622, an idea from @jesshampshire): with no home page on the SD card and Wi-Fi up, the browser opens the changelog.
• Theme > Background > Colour changed the accent colour instead; it sets the background now.
• T-Display P4 with Wi-Fi that never connects (#612): the flasher now offers "factory Wi-Fi chip" images (the -at files below), for units whose Wi-Fi chip still runs LilyGo's original firmware. Thanks @jalevdev for spotting the missing choice (#619).

Built and checked on a LilyGo T-Deck. Every other board builds. Please report what you find with "Send a test report" in Settings > About, or an issue here.
