Welcome to the BeeWare Official Blog!
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.
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.
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 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!
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 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.
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.
