You fixed my blending bug before I could report it. Thank you. :)

A few little releases in a busy few days.
python3 -m pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev22
https://github.com/pygame/pygame/releases/tag/2.0.0.dev22

Several very difficult to find and fix issues with alpha blending
were fixed in this release.
* First pass at backwards compatible pygame alpha blit
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2213> by @MyreMylar
<https://github.com/MyreMylar>
The new alpha blitter has an SSE2 and arm NEON implementation, and
keeps compatibility with pygame 1.
Also some progress on other issues, including these...
* Fix twitchy key tests on raspi
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2234> by @ankith26
<https://github.com/ankith26>
* Better unit tests for event module
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2236> by @ankith26
<https://github.com/ankith26>
* Fix messed up SSE 4.2 removal
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2233>
More compatible manylinux wheels (Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic and CPUs
without SSE 4.2), some documentation improvements, and pygame.midi
fixes.
* Disable SSE 4.2 stuff because it does not do runtime detection
on old CPUs. <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2228>
* Use manylinux2010 for pypy and manylinux1 for other pythons
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2229>
* Doc updates (SDL2 -> pygame 2)
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2211> by @ankith26
<https://github.com/ankith26>
* Fix pygame.midi so tests and example runs on py3 and py2
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2230>
Thanks to everyone.
ciao!
(for now)

The 28^th of October 2020 will be the pygame
<https://pygame.org/wiki/about> 2.0 release date, because
pygame turns 20 years of age.
We reached two important milestones with this pre-release.
Firstly the old game 'solarwolf' is working fine with no known
issues on pygame 2. The second stone we passed by on the road
to PyPy <https://www.pypy.org/> goodness is that we are
releasing binary wheels for PyPy on mac, windows, and linux.
PyPy is a different implementation of python that is highly
compatible and can be extremely fast.
Here's a little youtube video of solarwolf on PyPy and SDL2
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8EWruyKYZc>...
solarwolf on SDL2 and pypy
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8EWruyKYZc>
If you watched the video to the end, you'll note there's a
crash. We still have some way to go before everything in
pygame is working with PyPy. "solarwolf" using cpython and
pygame 2 is running deliciously and glitch free.
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.
Dan Lawrence @MyreMylar <https://github.com/MyreMylar>
* Making RLE flags & RLE behaviour more consistent between
pygame 1 and pygame 2
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2189>, so that a
lot more types of surfaces draw correctly and that
"solarwolf" works really nicely.
Ankith @ankith26 <https://github.com/ankith26>
* Fix repeated VIDEOEXPOSE events
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2161>, so apps do
not get dozens of extra nonsensical VIDEOEXPOSE events on
Windows.
René Dudfield @illume <https://github.com/illume>
* Added portmidi package for conan MacOS
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2187> so that
pygame.midi works on MacOS again.
* Set icon on macos like the other platforms with SDL2
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2194>, so the
default icon is there again for MacOS.
bugs, worms, shiny-shiny, and such
Dan Lawrence @MyreMylar <https://github.com/MyreMylar>
* Missing mouse_doc.h file
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2179>
* Fix for missed braces in get_flags()
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2182>
* Adding a premul_alpha helper method to Color class
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2142>
* One of the math.c functions still used deprecated UTF
functions <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2209>
René Dudfield @illume <https://github.com/illume>
* Test that pygame with SDL2 blit gives same results as SDL1
blit <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2192>
* CI speedups <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2196>
* Skip a lot of failing tests on pypy, build pypy wheels on
mac+travis <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2204>
* pypy and manylinux2010
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2212> because PyPy
needs manylinux2010, an old PR from @takluyver
<https://github.com/takluyver> was resurrected and changed
a bit so we can use manylinux2010.
@robertpfeiffer <https://github.com/robertpfeiffer>
* Add Setup.Android.SDL2.in, and default icons to STRIPPED
build <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2203> is an
improvement for better Android support.
@Starbuck5 <https://github.com/Starbuck5>
* Fix docs build failure on Sphinx 3
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2206>, so we can
use the current version of the Sphinx documentation tool.
Josip Komljenović @MightyJosip <https://github.com/MightyJosip>
* Type hints for Vector swizzles & sprite groups
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2200>
* draw.line fix with thick lines. More of the line was
clipped off on screen borders than expected
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2199> is a fix for
an issue @siggisv <https://github.com/siggisv> found with
line drawing.
Sigurður Sveinn Halldórsson @siggisv <https://github.com/siggisv>
* Document expected behavior of draw.aaline()
<https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2190>
Ankith @ankith26 <https://github.com/ankith26>
* Doc improvements for WINDOWEVENT, MOUSEWHEEL, event and
misc <https://github.com/pygame/pygame/pull/2149>
This time 4 'critical' backwards compatibility issues were
fixed since the last release.
