There is concern that the bltouch.py module may not perform adequately
on some bltouch "clones". Document that.

It appears some bltouch "clones" do not report the probe as triggered
when put in "touch mode" while the pin is raised. Add a config option
to allow users to disable the test.

Update documentation about the fade options. Also inform the user that it is recommended to home toward the center of the print area when using a probe for z homing.

Cheap mechanical servos have small flickering. When this servo stay on one position, this flickering slowly destroy internal potentiometer and make servo unusable. Many mechanisms need servo only to change position. Therefore I create this minor path to enable/disable servo. It stop pulses for this servo, that's all.
Corresponding G-code is:
SET_SERVO SERVO=config_name [WIDTH=] [ENABLE=<0|1>]
SET_SERVO SERVO=config_name [ANGLE=] [ENABLE=<0|1>]
For example:
SET_SERVO SERVO=touch ANGLE=80 ENABLE=1 ; enable servo and set position
G4 P200 ; wait 200ms
SET_SERVO SERVO=touch ENABLE=0 ; disable servo
This patch add one option to servo configuration:
enable: <False/True> # default True
It not have impact to user code existing already because it is optional parameter and default value is same as original behavior.

The Trinamic stepper motor drivers are capable of reporting the
stepper phase - add support for using that capability to the
enddstop_phases module.

The comment for the algorithm setting had a spelling error, it said:
[...]May be either "langrange"[...]
Removed the n.

Don't require (or permit) the user to specify a stepper_z
position_endstop when using the probe:z_virtual_offset mechanism. In
that case the position_endstop should always equal the probe's
z_offset - so no need to have the user specify it.

Remove the code to calculate and track the z_offset via
position_endstop updates. It's simpler to always save and restore the
calculated z_adjust.

Don't require the config file to specify manual probing. Instead,
allow the user to select manual probing on each ProbePointsHelper
invocation.

Move the quad_gantry_level description closer to z_tilt section. Move
the force_move section closer to the homing_override section.

Add a command that will turn off all heaters in the printer. Run this
command in the default idle_timeout action.

Add initial support for commands that will forcibly move a stepper
(without updating the kinematic classes with the new position).

Move the "motor_off_timeout" tracking to a new module in the extras/
directory. This makes it easier to customize the idle timeout
behavior.

It's rare to have all the Z stepper locations directly under the
printable surface, so using z_positions for points is not a good
default.
