LcdMenu v4.1.0

New Features ⭐️

• Menu Command Processor Helper for Rotary Encoder by @forntoh in #185
  A helper function was added to handle menu navigation using a rotary encoder. This makes it easier for developers to implement rotary-based navigation for their LCD menus, streamlining the interaction process. It allows smoother scrolling through menu items and simplifies input with just a rotary encoder.

Enhancements:

• Examples: Added basic rotary encoder and input rotary examples to demonstrate functionality.

Bug Fixes:

• Code Cleanup: Removed unused print statements to improve code quality.

LcdMenu 4.0.0

This release introduces a major refactor of the display management system, aimed at making it more modular and flexible. The key change is the introduction of a display interface abstraction that decouples the display logic from the specific hardware, allowing for easier integration of different display types.

What's Changed

• Display Interface Abstraction:
  • A new DisplayInterface class has been introduced to define a common interface for all display types.
  • This interface allows developers to easily swap out display implementations (e.g., LCD, OLED) without modifying the core logic.
• Implemented LiquidCrystalI2CAdapter to support LiquidCrystal_I2C displays.
• Implemented LiquidCrystalAdapter to support LiquidCrystal displays.
• Improved Modularity and Flexibility:
  • By decoupling the display management logic from the specific hardware, the system is now more modular and easier to extend with new display types.
  • The menu and cursor handling logic has been adapted to work seamlessly with the new interface, ensuring backward compatibility while providing enhanced flexibility.
• Debug mode is now turned off by default

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Memory Management: Optimized the handling of dynamic memory allocation to prevent memory leaks and improve stability.
• Code Cleanup: Refactored the codebase for better readability and maintainability. Deprecated functions and variables have been removed or replaced with more efficient alternatives.
• Documentation: Updated and expanded the documentation to reflect the new architecture and features.

Breaking Changes

• API Changes: The introduction of the DisplayInterface class and its implementation may require changes to existing projects. Users must update their code to work with the new interface and adapters.
• Some methods and features directly tied to the LiquidCrystal_I2C library have been refactored or removed. Please review the migration guide for details on how to update your code.
