1. A bogus address calculation was done (spotted by G. Smith).
2. The displayID was added to the data escape character even if the connection
type does not support multiple displays (spotted by G. Smith).
3. When calculation if data escape is necessary, the character 0xff could not
be escaped. Changed an updates all connection types (M. Dolze).
In the documentation replace the list of the connection types for hd44780
driver with the table also used in the configuration options description
(use only a single place to list and link everyting). While there, remove the
assembly code for lcdserializer.
'struct glcd_framebuf' now contains a layout type which can either be
FB_TYPE_LINEAR (this is the default) or FB_TYPE_VPAGED. This actually affects
the drawing function and the frame-buffer memory calculation. A new 'size'
field is added to store the pre-calculated length.
Adopt existing driver to make use of the new feature (currently only glcd2usb
driver).
1. Remove connection type header files and put prototypes locally and in
glcd-drivers.h. Don't fall into the pitfall of too many header files again.
2. Create a separate frame buffer structure (this allows easier re-use of
the frame buffer functions).
3. Add a function to retrieve pixel values from framebuffer.
4. Add the 'serdisplib' connection type.
5. Support display width that are not a multiple of 8 (e.g. 122x32).
* The full block icon now has index 0 and the heart has index 7. This makes
the full block work if vBar custom chars are loaded (which use index 1-7).
* Prevent (hbar, vbar, bignum) modes from overwriting custom chars (except
full block).
* Prevent the heartbeat from overwriting custom chars in vbar and bignum mode.
* Make the driver point to 0x1A and 0x1B characters for right/left arrow
characters (those are the codes from HD44780 A02) and make all charmaps
pointing to the correct characters.
* It is now possible to map the tilde character.
* Update other drivers that use hd44780-charmap.h (IOWarrior and ula200).
* Replace characters using charmaps on input instead of output!
* Remove some unnecessary comments.
image writer is for debugging only. The Freetype font renderer still misses
some features (e.g. big numbers, character encoding, non-standard cell size).
