🙏 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.

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
