July 20, 2011 in Frameworks, Programming

Kivy 1.0.7. was just released.

kivy is the most awesome framework (for any language) for creating stunning user interfaces with support for a wide variety of input modalities like multi-touch, object/marker/fiducial tracking, kinect/gestures. Packaging for windows (exe), osx (.app/.dmg), and android is now available for easy distribution of kivy apps. It’s licensed under the LGPL, so you can use it in both open and closed source projects.

From the release notes: Kivy is a full featured framework for creating novel and performant user interfaces, such as multitouch applications, under the LGPL 3 license. The framework works on Windows, MacOSX, Linux and Android. iOS support is coming soon, and available to brave hackers in repos.

DISCLAIMER: I am one of the kivy developers, so I am obviously biased in how awesome I think it is. That said, please check it out to see why I am so excited, before knocking me for posting such a shameless plug.
