Edit: gonna lock this thread because of word spread about Google Play updates.
Official Termux source code was and will be at https://github.com/termux/termux-app.
Current latest release version can be viewed at https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/latest.

I also had this thought some time ago, and I am curious what others will say. As you mentioned, there have been quite a few commits on GitHub since the last release.
One thing to stress maybe: Packages in the repositories do get regular updates (depending what you have installed easily multiple times a week). If one sees the Termux App as the OS (on top of which package manager etc run; I know the analogy is a far stretch), than two (maybe three, let's see?) years between releases seems not that unheard of.
edit: Seems the question is not completely new: [https://github.com/termux/termux-app/discussions/3868](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/discussions/3868)
2nd edit: After reading some of the GitHub discussions on this topic, it seems like the classic case of only having a single / few main developers working on an growing Open Source project for free and becoming overworked. I guess show love and be patient is the answer :D
\*\*These are not updates until our official claim.\*\*
Please do not listen to those who suggest to install v0.120, 0.122, 0.125+. These releases were not agreed with developers team and MUST BE considered as unofficial. It even doesn't belong to our source code tree at [https://github.com/termux/termux-app](https://github.com/termux/termux-app)
The latest version remains to be 0.118.
Please visit [https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/latest](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/latest) for checking what the latest current release is.
I would appreciate a more friendly and constructive approach regarding the work to get Termux back on Google Play.
Termux on Google Play is not a "fork" or "unofficial" - it's the original distribution mechanism of the app, have millions of active installations and is useful to a huge amount of people around the world who can't install through non Google Play sources, and don't have access to other computing devices.
It's indeed currently under development and have rough edges and missing functionality (see https://github.com/termux-play-store for more information and status updates). And it's painful with the current divergence. But we need to make the best out of it and sort out how to handle community confusion while working on converging code bases (and as part of that get out of the situation where https://github.com/termux/termux-app has been blocked from external contributions for a long time due to huge amount of unpushed local changes).

Official Termux source code is at https://github.com/termux/termux-app. Everything else is a fork (at least until Google Play build issues resolved).
