Backporting

Timeline

• Immediate: patchset needed as soon as possible
• Next Minor Stable Release: patchset that needs to be verified in nightly before backport
• Eventually: patchset that needs to be verified in alpha before backport
• No Backport (preferred): patchset for the next major stable

(Optional) Justification

• Emergency security update: patchset fixes CVEs, 0-days, etc
• Censorship event: patchset enables censorship circumvention
• Critical bug-fix: patchset fixes a bug in core-functionality
• Consistency: patchset which would make development easier if it were in both the alpha and release branches; developer tools, build system changes, etc
• Sponsor required: patchset required for sponsor
• Localization: typos and other localization changes that should be also in the release branch
• Other: please explain

Change Description

Implemented the 2024 YEC in compose.

3 styles in landscape and portrait

Sample Burmese text. Note that this implementation does not get the glyph size to get the line height to draw the "highlight" behind the "rights text". I picked a line height that works for both English and Burmese text. I did not test other languages. Also note that Burmese text gets the bold effect, but is not affected by Space Grotesk font

How Tested

To see the 2024 YEC screen

1. Change val startDate = dateFormat.parse("2024-10-14") in HomeScreenViewModel.kt:28 to a date in the past
2. Comment out the && BuildConfig.BUILD_TYPE == "release" line in HomeScreenViewModel.kt:34 (or build in "release" mode)

Install, bootstrap, and verify that it looks good in different font sizes, screen sizes, screen orientations, android versions, languages.
