With a very tiny little bit of discussion it was sort of decided that the 28 th of October 2020 will be the pygame <https://pygame.org/wiki/about> 2.0 release date, because pygame turns 20. Critical backwards compatibility fixes for pygame 2 First up, some 'critical' improvements that have been made to pygame. 'critical' labeled issues are ones are backwards incompatible issues stopping a pygame 2 release. Thanks to Dan Lawrence @MyreMylar <https://github.com/MyreMylar> for Adding a num_buttons parameter to mouse.get_pressed() <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2127>. This was a backwards compatibility issue, because it used to return 3 elements. Now it returns 3 elements again by default and you can request 5 if you want. Another critical issue fixed by MyreMylar was a problem with key events being reordered on windows <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2155>. But wait... there's more. Another backwards compatibility fix by MyreMylar is the "Backwards compatibility for get_flags() in SDL2 <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2156>" PR, which has stopped some games handling full screen mode properly. Sigurður Sveinn Halldórsson @siggisv <https://github.com/siggisv> fixed a problem with how pygame.draw.aaline didn't look as before. - Fix draw.aaline not always solid, and other problems <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2126> Now the anti aliased lines look (and smell) awesome.
