🙏 Special Thanks
Special thanks to @AZADAYAZ for thorough testing, bug reports, and detailed UX feedback for this release!
🚀 What's New in v4.0.2
👆 Native Gesture Engine Cleanup & Safety
Removed Experimental Java Gesture Engine: Completely stripped the unstable Java gesture engine. Gesture typing now relies exclusively on the native C++ library (libjni_latinimegoogle.so).
SIGSEGV Crash Protection: Added strict validation during JNI library loading so incompatible libraries fail gracefully instead of crashing.
🌐 Translation Toolbar & Custom Languages
Universal Long-Press Delete: Enabled long-press removal for all target languages (default & custom) directly in the translation selector strip.
Persistent Custom Language History: Created TranslationUtils.kt to accumulate custom target languages in history without replacing older entries.
Clean UI & Deduplication: Removed redundant "Custom..." button from the translation selector strip and added case-insensitive language deduplication.
IME Window Token Crash Fix: Fixed BadTokenException on translation dialogs by attaching windowToken via showDialogForIme.
🛠️ Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
Always-On Suggestions: Fixed suggestions on special / non-standard fields (like Google Translate and search inputs).
Emoji & Typeface: Honored system emoji settings and applied custom emoji typefaces to suggestion strip emoji results.
Emoji Dict Detection: Added support for detecting emoji.dict (without underscore suffix).
PointerTracker Stability: Added defensive null checks for sDrawingProxy to prevent crashes.
IME Lifecycle & System Compatibility: Cancelled gesture indexing tasks and non-blocking dictionary cleanup on onDestroy; exported ringer mode receiver for Android 14+.

🚀 What's New in v4.0.1
🛠️ Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
PointerTracker TimerProxy Safety: Fixed NullPointerException on TimerProxy.startTypingStateTimer by defensively defaulting static sTimerProxy to TimerProxy.NULL and guarding accesses when proxy map references are cleared during view teardowns or transitions.
Dynamic InputConnection & Long Press Fix: Fixed issue where re-opening the keyboard in Launcher or search fields dropped character input and long-press popup key selections by dynamically fetching the live system InputConnection.

🚀 What's New in v4.0.0
🛠️ Bug Fixes & Major Stability Hardening
Native JNI Protection: Added isValidDictionary() guards and exception handling around BinaryDictionary JNI calls to prevent C++ native crashes from killing the keyboard process.
ANR & Thread Freeze Prevention: Added non-blocking timeouts to CountDownLatch.await() in backup/restore, file copy, and secondary dictionary lookup paths.
Gesture Index Thread Storm Fix: Switched gesture index building to managed KEYBOARD executor pool with atomic state tracking, eliminating CPU spikes and thread proliferation.
Memory & View Leak Fixes: Cleared static proxy references in PointerTracker.clearOldViewData(), enabled largeHeap, and trimmed memory when UI is hidden to fix OOMs on high-DPI devices.
PointerTracker & Settings Safety: Fixed NPEs during rapid view switches and made Settings.getValues() null-safe during layout inflation.
Screenshot Scanner Optimization: Replaced active background ContentObserver with an on-demand check to eliminate background CPU wakeups while typing.
Regional Dictionary Fallback & Aggregation: Aggregated main and emoji dictionaries across variant and language fallback directories (en-IN -> en) and fixed regional main dictionary variant detection.
Emoji Dictionary Persistence: Fixed issue where emoji_*.dict files failed to be recognized after downloading, and added preference tracking to prevent dictionary deletion on upgrade.
🤖 AI Enhancements
Proofread Anti-Answering Guard: Prevented models (Qwen, Llama) from expanding prompts into multi-paragraph answers during proofreading.
Clean Translation Output: Automatically strips section headers (Translated text:) and trailing reasoning/thinking blocks from translation outputs.
🌟 UI & Keyboard Improvements
First-Word Prediction Toggle: Added user setting to enable or disable suggestions for the first word in a text field.
Hardware Keyboard Mode: Added option to show only the toolbar when a physical keyboard is connected.
Toolbar Key Spacing: Added equal key distribution for unscrollable expanded and dual toolbars.
Thai Word Segmentation: Preserved Thai word boundaries and segmentation behavior when using text expansion.

Note
Its beta3 even though it says beta2 ,
Also the version code accidently changed to 4001 on beta2, the stable version would be 4000 so if you can't downgrade you might need to backup and restore
If there is no crash reported, ill release the v4.0.0 stable today itself, since other users still downloading buggy v3.9.9
🚀 What's New
🛠️ Bug Fixes & Stability
PointerTracker Crash Fix: Fixed NullPointerException during rapid view switches and keyboard mode changes.
Settings Initialization Safety: Made Settings.getValues() null-safe to auto-load settings during layout inflation, preventing InflateException crashes.
Emoji Dictionary Detection & Persistence: Fixed issue where emoji_*.dict files failed to be recognized after downloading. Added preference tracking to prevent emoji and custom dictionaries from being wiped on app upgrade or cache cleanup.
Regional Locale Dictionary Aggregation: Resolved issue where regional locales (e.g. English (India) / en-IN) only displayed the emoji dictionary tab by aggregating main and emoji dictionaries across variant and language fallback directories (en-US, en).
⚡ Performance & Battery Optimization
On-Demand Screenshot Scanning: Replaced continuous background MediaStore ContentObserver callbacks with an on-demand background query when input starts, eliminating unnecessary CPU wakeups while typing.

Battery & Threading Fix: Resolved a critical battery drain issue during fallback gesture typing by preventing redundant background threads from building the gesture index simultaneously.
Regional Dictionary Fallback: Fixed an issue where regional/variant main dictionaries (like Persian fa_IR) were downloaded but not detected by language-only keyboard layouts (like fa).

Backspace Selection Priority: Corrected the deletion priority of selected text when pressing backspace.
🌟 Features & Improvements
First-Word Suggestion Toggle: Added a user setting toggle to enable or disable suggestions for the first word in a text field.

🚀 What's New
🛠️ Crashes & ANR Fixes
Native JNI SIGABRT Fix: Fixed a native crash in the LatinIME keyboard library (libjni_latinime.so) caused by thread-unsafe memory access during dictionary word iteration.
Gesture Indexer ANR Fix: Prevented keyboard freezes and Application Not Responding (ANR) errors by running the fallback Java gesture indexer asynchronously on a background thread instead of blocking the main thread.
Asynchronous Dictionary Cleanup: Moved dictionary closing and cleanup to a background coroutine to prevent the main thread from blocking on JNI write locks when switching languages.
📖 Dictionary Preservation on Upgrade
Manual Import Preservation: Stopped the app from deleting manually imported or replaced custom dictionaries during version upgrades.
