- The button-styling has been adjusted, to make it easier to visually
distinguish the view-changing buttons that switch to views with
buttons for entering hiragana, katakana, symbols, and Latin letters.
- Easier switching between hiragana and katakana,
and between symbols and punctuation.
- Added more placeholders to prevent layout-shifting.
- The base-shape is now sized properly on a 6" large display
with a resolution of 720x1440 (PinePhone), without empty
space next to it.
- The wide shape is now wider.
- The symbols- and punctuation-views switch back to the
katakana-view when opened from it and "unlocking" the view
by tapping multiple times on the view-changing button,
instead of showing the hiragana-view.

These are based on actual displays/devices.
A display-size-calculator ( https://www.sven.de/dpi/ ) was used to
calculate the width and height from resolution and diagonal display-size.
Some of these tests check for non-optimal results;
however, their purpose is mostly to make it noticeable
how changes to scaling-behaviour affect various
display-types.
When Squeekboard's scaling-behaviour will be improved, the tests
should be updated with values that fit the displays/devices better.

to make those distinguishable from other highlighted buttons.
The border at the bottom makes it look like a stack of buttons
that will be put into position when tapping the view-changing buttons.

The "wide"-outline was not highlighted on the default and high
contrast styles, while it was highlighted on the "Adwaita:dark"-style.
"Adwaita:dark" is the default on Phosh, so adjust to that, for
consistent button-highlighting.

Before this change, buttons with the outlines "altline",
"wide" and "special" were not showing visual feedback when those
were pressed.
After this change, the visual feedback is similar to the default style.

Changes:
- 25 wide shapes have been added,
so that every available layout now has a wide shape
- "PgUp" and "PgDn" on the terminal-layouts have been relabeled
to "Page ↑" and "Page ↓"
- The Spanish and French terminal-layouts now have translated key-names
- The Spanish terminal-layout has been updated with the additional
keys that are already available on the US-terminal-layout.
- The wide and base shapes of the German layout had a different
key-arrangement and the wide shape did not have a button to access
additional characters; this has been fixed.
Development:
- Squeekboard's versioning now follows Phosh's versioning
(for example: Squeekboard 1.38 was released in time for Phosh 0.38)
- The build-system has been simplified
- A single Cargo.toml file is used,
instead of assembling it from multiple parts
- Newer dependencies are now used for building Squeekboard by default
- Squeekboard's main development-platform is now Debian Testing
- The layout-files have been cleaned up,
so that those are easier to understand and edit
