Magisk v16.4 adds app shortcuts and bug fixes, breaks root for a few apps including Tasker

Magisk developer topjohnwu might be off serving compulsory military service, but he's still maintained a rapid release schedule for his popular root solution. Magisk v16.4 (and Magisk Manager v5.7.0) were released over the weekend, and they add a handful of technical fixes, app shortcuts, and Android P improvements, but it isn't all smooth sailing. The latest version also removes Magisk's 64-bit binaries, which may break root support for some apps, including the very popular Tasker.  The full changelog for Magisk v16.4 and the corresponding Magisk Manager update (v5.7.0), are just below: Magisk v16.4 - [Daemon] Directly check logcat command instead of detecting logd, should fix logging and MagiskHide on several Samsung devices - [Daemon] Fix startup Magisk Manager APK installation on Android P - [MagiskPolicy] Switch from AOSP u:r:su:s0 to u:r:magisk:s0 to prevent conflicts - [MagiskPolicy] Remove unnecessary sepolicy rules to reduce security penalty - [Daemon] Massive re-design /sbin tmpfs overlay and daemon start up - [MagiskInit] Remove magiskinit_daemon, the actual magisk daemon (magiskd) shall handle everything itself - [Daemon] Remove post-fs stage as it is very limited and also will not work on A/B devices; replaced with simple mount in post-fs-data, which will run ASAP even before the daemon is started - [General] Remove all 64-bit binaries as there is no point in using them; all binaries are now 32-bit only.
