kivy v1.10.1 Release Notes

• 🛠 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:

  • It's now possible to query Window information with the SDL provider.
  • 👍 SVG support improvements.
  • Export_to_png now preserves widget's alpha.
  • It's now possible to define a custom comparison for properties, to
    👍 manage dispatching better.
  • Layouts' add_widget method now accept the canvas argument that
    Widget's does.
  • 🛠 Fix for infamous SDL window issue on Linux.
  • ⏪ disabled property of widget now restores the previous value of
    disabled of children on unset.
  • The tuio implementation now uses the new 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.
  • 🐧 On Linux, probesysfs input detection doesn't depend on getconf
    anymore, which makes it more portable.

  🚀 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.

  👍 The Kivy team plans to drop support for python 2.7 before the end of
  🚀 2018, but we hope to make multiple releases before that, as a lot of
  🚀 work to streamline our release process was done during this release.
