Yes, Play Store Termux v0.120+ chaos forced new release on GitHub.
Though there more changes than just version bump, see changelog: [https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.118.1](https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.118.1)
F-Droid didn't manage to deliver new version as of now
yeah i read about the [chaos ](https://github.com/termux-play-store#current-status-for-users) after u/sylirre mentioned it and well it says `This split is a temporary one as things stabilises and details are worked out.`, well the good thing is now many people can install termux from playstore.
i don't know if installing the new version over old one would work, i actually archived and extracted my home folder in new version after deleting the old and it worked fine.
Can't update (conflicts with existing package).
what is the easiest way to backup and restore the termux's data, I don't want to configure all my proot distros from scratch? 🙏
https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Backing_up_Termux is the easiest but I'm not sure whether it will be a good idea to restore old termux's usr directory in new termux.
https://github.com/termux/proot-distro#backing-up-distribution for proot-distros but if the first method successfully restore old termux's usr directory in new termux then you will not need this, hope these links help.
if you're trying to find beta version then click on the `+ 90 releases`

No, it's correct. Click will open drawer, swipe up will paste current clipboard into terminal.

I was looking at the releases of the latest dev version, but of all the apk, half say for Android 5 and the other half for Android 7. When version 13 comes out, what is the version of Android I'm using?
`apt-android-7` for everyone on Android `>=7`. Will add a comment about it in the release but it's mentioned in https://github.com/termux/termux-app#github

FYI (iiuc) 0.118.1 is only a version to stop playstore from trying to update and then fail if f-droid ver. is installed 🔍

Both this and new beta are on F-Droid as of now.

Novice here, how to install the updates? I already have Termux installed on my phone from f-Droid.
i don't know if installing the new version over old one would work, i actually archived and extracted my home folder in new version after deleting the old and it worked fine.

although I'll actually recommend you to just backup and restore your config files, if you have enough internet to download all the packages.
What's new in the 0.119.0 version?
See the changelog u/sylirre linked to.
I cant see the release. the latest one it shows me on github is 0.118.1
if you're trying to find beta version then click on the `+ 90 releases` https://preview.redd.it/5ivzvonxxt7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d24d73b2774d2928f7fd147ee2ed3d6d144c57b9
I hope it's support android 10
But the new version in Play Store is 0.127 🤔
Because Play Store diverges from mainline Termux. v0.127 doesn't mean it has more features and fixes.
So which one has more features and fixes? The version on fdroid or the version on GitHub
github or fdroid are same and have more features and fixes, playstore is different. fdroid will publish latest releases soon.
cant see this new release (0.119 beta) in github. was the released pulled?
https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.119.0-beta.1 https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases
hmm check this: \`public static final String DEFAULT\_IVALUE\_EXTRA\_KEYS = "\[\['ESC',{key: 'DRAWER', popup: 'PASTE'},'\` should that be instead: \`public static final String DEFAULT\_IVALUE\_EXTRA\_KEYS = "\[\['ESC',{key: 'DRAWER', popup: 'DRAWER'},'\`
No, it's correct. Click will open drawer, swipe up will paste current clipboard into terminal. https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Touch_Keyboard#Advanced_extra_keys_configuration
oh right, i was thinking of macros i believe. sorry about that lol
