Is the 163 build still experimental/unstable?

    Hey, long time no see. I hope you're doing well. It seems SourceForge still shows 1.27-62c as the current version, not the 163 build you put up on F-Droid. Does 163 need some additional beating on before it becomes official? Any features in particular I should be sure to torture in addition to the new PIE SQLite and what's mentioned at https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.sourceforge.x11basic/ ?

    Thanks!

    There's something about doing screen rotations, resizing, and showing and hiding the on screen keyboard while xbasic 163 is running in a split screen on a Vankyo S30 tablet running Android 9 that the terminal emulator doesn't like. A red "Terminal-emulation: ERROR: Esc-[-118" appears at the top left, much like the green "WxH characters." at the top right.

    The error message can also be, "Terminal-emulation: ERROR: Esc-8-118"

    Of course the keyboard event queue glitch is still present. However, any "significant" resizing of the window, not just device rotations, can cause it. This is also present on Samsung devices running Android 11.

    And now X11 Basic shows up twice in the task list, but both tiles bring up the same running instance. Weird.
