Welcome to the BeeWare Official Blog!
In August, we made some major improvements hardening the security of BeeWare's tools, and attended PyCon AU 2026.
In July, we added uv support to Briefcase, landed some patches for mobile support in some major Python projects, and welcomed a new member to the BeeWare core team.
We've made a lot of progress in Q2. However, much of that progress wasn't in areas that we were fully anticipating, and we didn't make as much progress in some areas where we were hoping to. As always, this roadmap should be read as a guide to what we aim to focus on over the coming quarter, rather than a hard commitment to features that will be made available on a specific deadline.
June saw a major push on logging support for macOS 26, a continuing overhaul of Toga's Canvas API, as well as many other improvements.
May was dominated by PyCon US, where the BeeWare team ran another successful sprint, resulting in a number of improvements - many from first time contributors.
April saw some extremely important improvements to BeeWare's Windows support, and some important new policy decisions.
Q1 has seen some significant improvements to Toga, Android packages, and a milestone for official iOS support. As always, this roadmap should be read as a guide to what we aim to focus on over the coming quarter, rather than a hard commitment to features that will be made available on a specific deadline.
March has seen some big improvements in Briefcase, as well as some major discussions of design and policy issues in the rest of the project.
February has seen a collection of improvements across the BeeWare ecosystem - including a couple of big milestones!
We've started 2026 with a buzz — a flurry of BeeWare activity on Toga's Canvas and Table widgets, Qt backend, as well as making some major progress on Android binary packaging.
