This release comes with Turing 5" displays support!
Many thanks to @alexwbaule @arthurferrai @MrFr1day and everyone that contributed in issues #81 and #90
Please note there is only basic support for now: no video or storage.

Documentation, Theme Editor, Configuration Wizard and Github workflows have been updated to handle 5" devices as well.
This release comes without any breaking changes for 3.5" devices.

Configuration Wizard

In the configuration Wizard, you can now select Turing 5" as your smart screen model.

Themes

Because the display resolution is different for 3.5" displays (320x480) and 5" displays (800x480), themes made previously for 3.5" displays cannot be used on 5" displays.
New 5" themes have been developed and packaged in this release:

When you select Turing 5" in the Configuration Wizard, the theme list is automatically updated to display only compatible themes.

theme.yaml

To create a theme for 5" devices, the format is the same as the 3.5" themes. You can do it manually or using the Theme Editor.
The only property to add to your theme.yaml is:

display:
  DISPLAY_SIZE: 5"

If this property is not in the theme file (to keep compatibility with old/community themes) or if its value is different than 5" then the theme will be for 3.5 displays.
