This will only affect new installations. Existing users wishing to
install 64-bit packages can re-install the app completely, or just
'rm -Rf $PREFIX' and exit all sessions, which will cause Termux to
re-install all packages at next startup.
By appending the old system PATH environment variable to the paths
setup by Termux system binaries are found as a fallback.
This causes problems with system binaries not working (due to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and causing a lot of confusion for new users when
e.g. an Android system provides a system version of e.g. curl, ssh
and other programs. It's better for these users to be prompted to
install the proper Termux package, and advanced users can still
add /system/bin to the PATH themselves.
Certain programs such as 'am' and 'pm' are already setup in
$PREFIX/bin to clear LD_LIBRARY_PATH and launch the binaries in
/system/bin - if there are some more popular ones they could be
added in the same way.
The files are saved to $HOME/downloads/, after which the user
may choose to open the downloads/ folder or edit the file with
the $HOME/bin/termux-file-editor program.
It's also possible to receive URL:s, in which case the
$HOME/bin/termux-url-opener program will be called.
This fixes https://github.com/termux/termux-widget/issues/2, which
was caused by the terminal launching the terminal session process
before the terminal size was known.
Also remove the built JNI libraries from source control.
- Make text selection easier and quicker by selecting text directly on long press, and using standard grip bars for changing the selection.
- Disable the drawer while selecting text.
- Fix problem with selecting snippets of text with wide unicode characters at start and end.
- Remove the "tap-screen" configuration option for a more common show keyboard behaviour when tapping the terminal.
- Do no longer map the back key to escape by default - but it's still possible to do by configuration.
- Add new hardware keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+K for toggling soft keyboard visibility.
Some bluetooth keyboards [1] input U+02C6, the unicode character
MODIFIER LETTER CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT instead of the more common ^
(U+005E CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT). Remap it to the common caret since
that is what terminal programs expect.

Let the user run termux-setup-storage, which will ensure that storage
permission has been granted and setup $HOME/storage/ folder with
symlinks to storage folders.
