Recently(?) github started making it the default to only copy a single
branch (e.g., main) and NO TAGS into new forks.
This makes the step of the build process that determines the CircuitPython
version not work, because tags are expected to be present. When tags are
not present, the version number is only a git hash. The version number
ends up being 0.0.0.
This causes problems with libraries that check for CircuitPython version
to determine compatibility, among other things.
We'll do other things to improve the situation, such as document it.
But it'd also be good if the build stopped when this detectable condition
occurs.
.. the default is intended to be the equivalent of the original,
implementing `DISPLAYIO && TERMINALIO`.
This is a possible alternative to #6889, if I understand the intent.
Formerly, py/formatfloat would print whole numbers inaccurately with
nonzero digits beyond the decimal place. This resulted from its strategy
of successive scaling of the argument by 0.1 which cannot be exactly
represented in floating point. The change in this commit avoids scaling
until the value is smaller than 1, so all whole numbers print with zero
fractional part.
Fixes issue #4212.

* Tweak scroll area position so last line is complete and top is
under the title bar.
* Pick Blinka size based on the font to minimize unused space in
title bar. Related to #2791
* Update the title bar after terminal is started. Fixes#6078Fixes#6668
This uses the esp32-camera code instead of our own homebrewed camera code.
In theory it supports esp32, esp32-s2 and esp32-s3, as long as they have
PSRAM.
This is very basic and doesn't support changing any camera parameters,
including switching resolution or pixelformat.
This is tested on the Kaluga (ESP32-S2) and ESP32-S3-Eye boards.
First, reserve some PSRAM by putting this line in `CIRCUITPY/_env`:
```
CIRCUITPY_RESERVED_PSRAM=524288
```
and hard-reset the board for it to take effect.
Now, the following script will take a very low-resolution jpeg file and print
it in the REPL in escape coded form:
```python
import board
import esp32_camera
c = esp32_camera.Camera(
data_pins=board.CAMERA_DATA,
external_clock_pin=board.CAMERA_XCLK,
pixel_clock_pin=board.CAMERA_PCLK,
vsync_pin=board.CAMERA_VSYNC,
href_pin=board.CAMERA_HREF,
pixel_format=esp32_camera.PixelFormat.JPEG,
i2c=board.I2C(),
external_clock_frequency=20_000_000)
m = c.take()
if m is not None:
print(bytes(m))
```
Then on desktop open a python repl and run something like
```python
>>> with open("my.jpg", "wb") as f: f.write(<BIG PASTE FROM REPL>)
```
and open my.jpg in a viewer.
.. the primary user of which will be the camera, since the framebuffers
must be allocated via esp-idf allocation function and never from the
gc heap.
A board can have a default value, and the value can also be set in the
/.env file using the key CIRCUITPY_RESERVED_PSRAM with the value being
the reserved size in bytes.

This helps with Python-compatibility (see issue #4171) but doesn't
completely resolve it.
Now, `dir()` still computes any properties of the underlying object,
HOWEVER, if the property raises an exception this expression is
captured.
This ability to capture exceptions always existed in
`mp_load_method_protected`, we just need to turn it on via the
`catch_all_exc` boolean parameter.
Make them CIRCUITPY_FULL_BUILD = 0 and rework the boards to have
the same modules enabled (ish.)
Also make ZLIB require FULL_BUILD and disable advanced `micropython`
module APIs by default on all builds.
