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.
This avoids the terminal content from being pushed down when starting
text selection. The drawback is that one cannot select text at the
top rows without scrolling - something to fix for the future.
- 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.
The original reason for intercepting the escape key in onKeyPreIme()
was to prevent the escape key as being treated as the Back key before
reaching onKeyDown().
This seems no long necessary, and may mess up handling the ...+1
combination for escape on the Google Pixel C keyboard (see #27).
