The Kivy team is happy to announce the release of Kivy 2.3.0
Kivy is an open-source Python framework for developing GUI apps that work cross-platform, including desktop, mobile and embedded platforms.
Kivy is MIT licensed, actively developed by a great community and is supported by many projects managed by the Kivy Organization.

Currently supported Python versions are 3.7-3.12
This marks the final release of the 2.x.x series. Note that anything deprecated in 1.x.x and 2.x.x will be removed in the upcoming major version, 3.0.0. Scheduled removals and notable changes for Kivy 3.0.0 will be detailed in an upcoming statement over the next few weeks.
This release is the last to support Python 3.7 and Windows 32-bit. We strongly encourage users to migrate their environments accordingly.

pip install (see below).Installation instructions and Kivy documentation is available on the Kivy website:
https://kivy.org
or on GitHub.
Kivy can now be installed into your Virtual Environment on Windows, Linux, OSX, and RPi simply with:
pip install kivy[base] kivy-examples
# or to get the media dependecies as well
pip install kivy[base,media] kivy-examples
# or to get most kivy optional dependencies
pip install kivy[full] kivy-examples
* For the RPi, additional system dependencies should be pre-installed.
These selectors allow specifying dependency categories, instead of having to pin Kivy's kivy_deps dependencies to specific versions. These selectors will install the proper dependency version to match Kivy's version.
Additionally, by default, Kivy will install the base dependencies even if base is not specified. In order to facilitate easier install for GUI installation users e.g. in PyCharm. However, this may change as pip evolves and base should be manually specified. Use pip's --no-deps flag to disable it.
See the selector documentation for more details.
Installation from source has also been simplified, relying on pip's pyproject.toml. See the simplified instructions.
[#6351]: Support for Python 2 has been dropped and Kivy source code is now incompatible with Python 2.
[#6368]: Support for async has been added to Kivy. Kivy can now run cooperatively, in the same process or thread as asynchronous code.
We currently support the stdlib asyncio framework and the excellent trio framework. See the kivy examples for how to use it.

This release fixed some issues with the docs, the CI, and Kivy dependencies that was introduced in 1.11.0 (https://github.com/kivy/kivy/pull/6357).
We are pleased to announce Kivy 1.11.0.
Kivy is a full featured framework for creating novel and performant user interfaces, such as multitouch applications, released under the MIT license. The framework works on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and Raspberry Pi.
kivy_deps.xxx namespace external to Kivy, rather than kivy.deps.xxx under Kivy. Whether you're upgrading Kivy, please pin the dependency versions when installing because Kivy binary dependencies are not generally backward compatible [#6312].kivy.garden.flower namespace is similarly being transitioned to the kivy_garden.flower namespace.See below for more details.
Downloads and installation instructions are available on the Kivy website:
https://kivy.org
kivy.deps.xxx namespace stored under kivy/deps/xxx to the kivy_deps.xxx namespace stored under kivy_deps/xxx. Pip is sometimes not able to distinguish between these two formats, so follow the instructions below.
kivy.deps.xxx==x.y.z dependencies to the versions that was on pypi when your Kivy was released so that you don't get newer incompatible dependencies.kivy.deps.xxx dependencies because pip will not uninstall them when you're upgrading. Then re-install the kivy_deps.xxx dependencies as instructed on the Kivy website.The new Linux wheels (#6248) can be installed with just pip install kivy, however, just like on macOS it comes without the Gstreamer dependencies so it has no video and minor audio support. For video/audio support, please install ffpyplayer and set KIVY_VIDEO=ffpyplayer in the environment, or install kivy using an alternative method that provides these dependencies.
[#6192]: Support for environmental variables that control the config in the form of KCFG_SECTION_KEY has been added. E.g. setting KCFG_KIVY_LOG_LEVEL=warning in the environment is the same as calling Config.set("kivy", "log_level", "warning") or setting the log_level in the kivy section of the config to warning. Note that underscores are not allowed in the section names.
Any key set this will way will take precedence on the loaded config.ini file. Support for this can be disabled by setting the enviornmental variable KIVY_NO_ENV_CONFIG=1 and the environment will not be read for configuration options.
[#6257]: A new KV-Python integration event that fires when all the KV rules of the widget has been applied, on_kv_post, has been added to the Widget class. This event fires for a widget when all the KV rules it participates in has been applied and ids has been initialized. Binding to this event will let you execute code for your widget without having to schedule the code for the next clock cycle.
Similarly, a new apply_class_lang_rules method was added to Widget that is called in order to apply the KV rules of that widget class. Inheriting and overwriting that method will give you the oppertunity to execute code before any KV rules are applied.
We are transitioning the Kivy garden flowers from the kivy.garden.flower namespace stored under kivy/garden/flower or ~/.kivy/garden to the normal python package format kivy_garden.flower namespace stored under kivy_garden/flower. With the new configuration, garden flowers will be pip installable, support cython flowers, and not require the custom garden tool.
We're hoping to transition all flowers to the new format, however, for now many flowers still require installation by the garden tool.
For users, see https://kivy-garden.github.io/index.html#generalusageguidelines. For developers, see https://kivy-garden.github.io/index.html#developmentguidelines for how to start a new flower, and https://kivy-garden.github.io/index.html#guideformigratingflowersfromlegacystructure for how to migrate existing flowers to the new format.
[#6313]: Pygame has been deprecated. We urge users who have been using pygame to try SDL2 and our other providers. If there are any reasons why Pygame is used instead of SDL2 please let us know so we can fix them.
Deprecation warnings have also been added to everything that has been deprecated in the past.

This was supposedly a bugfix releases, but a few new features have managed to get in, aside that, a lot of fixes are included.
Highlighted changes:
canvas argument that
Widget's does.disabled property of widget now restores the previous value of
disabled of children on unset.oscpy library instead of
the bundled oscAPI module, this solves a lot of issues with python3
and massively increase performances. The old OSC package is still
shipped, but will be removed in future releases.This is the last release to officially support python 3.3 and 3.4.
For technical reasons, there is no 3.7 wheels for Windows yet, they will come soon after our continuous integration infrastructure allows it.
