February 2026 Status Update
February has seen a collection of improvements across the BeeWare ecosystem - including a couple of big milestones!
The Buzz¶
Welcome to the BeeWare Official Blog!
January 2026 Status Update
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.
2026Q1 Roadmap
In Q4, BeeWare saw wide-ranging improvements across almost all the tools we maintain, as well as the conclusion of some long-running efforts in wheel packaging. 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.
December 2025 Status Update
Even with the impediment of end-of-year holidays restricting the availability of the core team, BeeWare has still seen some significant progress during December.
November 2025 Status Update
November has been a busy month, seeing improvements in documentation, a number of improvements to Briefcase, Linux support in Toga, and the first iOS binary wheels written in Rust!
2025 Curtin University Capstone Project - Year End
Since February, a team of final year students from Curtin University has been collaborating with the BeeWare Project as part of a capstone project for their degrees. This is a summary of the work they have completed.Capstone is the final year project undertaken by students across all computing disciplines at Curtin University, including Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cyber Security, and Information Technology. It allows students the opportunity to work in teams on real-world projects in collaboration with industry partners, gaining practical experience and professional exposure before graduating.
October 2025 Status Update
October saw the release of Python 3.14, which brought about a lot of release-related housekeeping. We've also seen some major improvements to BeeWare's documentation, and the addition of some useful new features in Briefcase.
2025Q4 Roadmap
In Q3, BeeWare saw the release of Python 3.14 with official Android artefacts, more Python packaging improvements, and significant improvements to our documentation infrastructure. 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.
This Q4 roadmap has been published a little later than normal so that we can fit in with quarterly planning cadence at Anaconda (who employ two of the BeeWare core team). Going forward, you can expect that BeeWare's quarterly plans will be published a couple of weeks into the quarter.
September 2025 Status Update
September has been a busy month for conference travel, but we've also managed to make some important improvements to projects in the BeeWare ecosystem.
August 2025 Status Update
August has been a slow month due to some personal leave, and some unexpected road bumps from GitHub - but BeeWare has still made some notable progress.
