It's the start of a new year, and we've already seen some big improvements to BeeWare!
Progress in Q4 was slower than anticipated, but there have been some notable success in achieving BeeWare's overall project goals. 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 of features that will be made available on a specific deadline.
Work in December (and the publication of this update!) was slowed by the end-of-year break; but BeeWare still made some significant progress to round out the year.
In November, BeeWare made more good progress on mobile packaging - however, that work has revealed a number of upstream tools that need modification before we can contribute wheels for mobile platforms.
In October, BeeWare saw some important releases, plus more good progress on binary packaging for iOS.
Q3 has seen some major progress against long term goals of the BeeWare project. 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 of features that will be made available on a specific deadline.
In September, BeeWare hit an important milestone for Android support, made good progress on packaging for iOS, and landed some significant changes to Toga.
August has seen some good progress on BeeWare's support for Python 3.13, plus a number of long-awaited features landing in a stable release of Toga.
July saw a lot of our attention being consumed by the upcoming Python 3.13 release; but we've also seen some other improvements to the BeeWare suite.
We're halfway through the year, and BeeWare has seen another quarter of significant progress. 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 of features that will be made available on a specific deadline.
