The Kivy team and contributors to the PyJNIus project are happy to announce the release of PyJNIus 1.3.0.
PyJNIus is a library allowing to use Java classes in CPython, by using the Java Native Interface, and reflection, it works on desktop (Windows, OSX, Linux) and Android. Java 8 to 12 are supported. This release fixes a few important issues, and provides new features, detailed below. This release is the last minor version to support Python2, patch version might be released if important issues are discovered shortly after the release, but we believe the world should now largely have moved on from Python2, and there is an opportunity to simplify the implementation by removing code handling it specifically, and taking advantage of Python3 features more.
