Welcome to pygame-ce 2.5.6, our latest and greatest release. This release is the first to support Python 3.14 and PyPy 3.11 at launch, although wheels for both were retroactively added to the last release months ago. Additionally, PyPy 3.9 and PyPy 3.10 support was dropped, as they are end of life. This will be the last release with support for Python 3.9, which is fast approaching its own end of life date. The bundled SDL version was updated from 2.32.6 to 2.32.10.

This release was made possible by the work of 27 contributors who made 429 commits spanning across 106 PRs. Overall, 10,226 line additions and 5,343 line deletions were made across 226 files. Amazing! As always, we are grateful to everyone who made this release happen - from contributors, to people reporting issues, to PR reviewers. A big thanks also to those who helped the pygame-ce community whether that be making tutorials, helping people on forums, sharing cool things made with pygame-ce, or just talking about it online with other people. And thank you for reading the release notes and using pygame-ce! Let us know if we made any mistakes in these release notes so that we can correct them at the earliest.

Now, onto the release notes!

New API

  • @Matiiss added the area kwarg to mask.to_surface in #2670. @ankith26 followed up with a minor docs fix for it in #3484. The area kwarg controls what portion of the mask instance is drawn to the surface.
  • @AntonisDevStuff added the Color.from_hex constructor in #3456.
  • @oddbookworm added set_led for Joystick and Controller objects in #3507. @aatle followed up with stubs improvements for it in #3524. This can be used to set or clear the colors of LEDs on joysticks and controllers.
  • @DickerDackel added Renderer.coordinates_to_window and Renderer.coordinates_from_window to map renderer (logical) coordinates to window (pixel) coordinates and vice-versa in #3519.
  • @Matiiss added Color.__bytes__ to support usages like bytes(Color(...)) in #3547.
  • @XFajk implemented Line.project in #3402. This gives an easy way to project a point onto a line with the geometry API.
  • @oddbookworm implemented transform.pixelate to support surface pixelation in #2354.
  • @robertpfeiffer added draw.flood_fill in #2840. This works like the paint bucket tool found in tools like GIMP and ASEprite; now you can apply it directly to pygame surfaces!
  • @bilhox implemented (F)Rect.relcenter in #3089 to get or set the center coordinates relative to the topleft coordinates.
  • @oddbookworm added Sound.copy (and Sound.__copy__ for copy.copy support) in #3556. With this one can easily make copies of Sound instances.
  • @mzivic7 added and @ankith26 improved the width argument of draw.aaline in #3191 and #3510 respectively. Yes, this means that now you can draw thick lines that also look smooth with the draw module, how cool!

Enhancements

  • New contributor @cherez added weak reference support to Texture in #3590 and to freetype.Font in #3596.
  • @pmp-p added Python 3.13 support to our emscripten builds in #3496. @ankith26 followed up with adding emscripten (pygbag + pyodide) support in the meson buildconfig in #3588 (with much appreciated help from @pmp-p and pyodide maintainer @ryanking13). As a result of these changes, we are back to supporting pyscript/pyodide after a brief period without support.
  • @zoldalma999 moved mouse and key docs to stubs in #3441.
  • @ankith26 fixed window event and key repeat handling in sdl2-compat in #3470.
  • @oddbookworm added freethreaded build status indicators to prompts in #3554.

Bugfixes

  • @MyreMylar fixed unusual pitch handling in Surface.premul_alpha in #2882.
  • @ankith26 fixed ASAN issues in Surface.scroll in #3497. He also fixed ASCII scrap on mac/linux platforms and improved docs/tests in #3473.

Performance

  • @aatle contributed lazy loading of surfarray and sndarray, to avoid eager loading of NumPy. In testing, this reduced the import time of pygame-ce by half, from 200 ms to 100 ms. See #3249.
  • @Starbuck5 optimized Vector - number math by avoiding redundant checks in #3454. Benchmarks show 5% improvement.
  • @Starbuck5 optimized Vector creation by up to 30% by avoiding redundant checks in #3458. The optimization makes the most difference when passing in (x, y) or (x, y, z) as a tuple instead of as separate arguments.
  • @ankith26 optimized (F)Rect.inflate(_ip) to use the FASTCALL calling convention, leading to a 25-30% improvement in #3518.

SDL3 Porting

We've been working on SDL3 support for quite a while now, and have now largely moved from "let's get this compiling" to "let's get this actually working," which is satisfying. One large remaining blocker is audio support, as SDL3_mixer is very different from SDL2_mixer.

2.5.5

Hello again, this release is out a lot quicker than usual because we're responding to two reported regressions in 2.5.4. Thank you to @SamuelWyck and @davidfokkema for their reports. This release fixes both of those regressions and contains the other things we've worked on in the last few weeks.

EDIT 2025-07-28: New wheels have been uploaded to add support for Python 3.14 and Pypy 3.11

What's Changed

Bugfixes

  • @oddbookworm found and fixed a regression where pygame.transform would fail to copy palettes when transforming palettized surfaces, making the outputs unusable, in #3464. @ankith26 made a related fix and @Starbuck5 added additional tests for this in #3465 and #3466 respectively.
  • @ankith26 fixed a regression where pygame-ce apps failed MacOS code notarization in Briefcase, due to the inclusion of non ascii (Korean) filenames in our tutorials. #3478.

🐉🛡️🔥🥇📗🐉🛡️🔥🥇📗🐉🛡️🔥🥇📗🐉🛡️🔥🥇📗🐉🛡️🔥🥇📗

Hello all! We are pleased to announce the first pygame-ce release of 2025.

Since last release, our underlying library SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) has released SDL3, with tons of shiny new features and lots of breaking changes. Our goal is to get our existing API fully working on top of SDL3, then focus on a pygame-ce 3.0 release with SDL3 + cool SDL3 features + a few minor backwards compatibility tweaks-- nothing crazy but more than we would feel comfortable changing in a release normally. See #2760 for a discussion of potential pygame-ce 3.0 API changes. To that end, significant effort this release went to getting things more ready for SDL3, but we still have a ways to go. And this plan may change, just wanted to share what we're thinking.

Before we get into the meat of the changes,

  • This release drops support for Python 3.8, as it is end of life. (Contributed by @ankith26 in #3143)
  • This release raises the minimum SDL2 version to 2.0.14 (Contributed by @ankith26 in #3213)

Enhancements

  • @gresm added an option for pygame.Windows to not show up in the taskbar, for "utility windows". pygame.Window(utility=True). Added in #3226.
  • @damusss Added "erase" and "repeat" options for Surface.scroll in #2855.
  • @damusss Expanded color type support (not just tuples, but also color strings like other APIs accept) for mask.from_threshold. He also fixed the type stubs for PixelArray methods to correctly indicate they don't have the expanded color type support. See #3164.
  • @MrRedstone058 added Line methods and length attribute to the experimental geometry module in #3179.

Bugfixes

  • @Matiiss Added runtime support for type hinting sprite Groups like other Python containers. E.g. group: pygame.sprite.Group[MySpriteClass] = pygame.sprite.Group() tells type hinters that this is a sprite group of MySpriteClass instances. Contributed in #3053.
  • @ankith26 Fixed a bug in saving Surfaces as TGA images, where they could overrun allocated memory and crash, in #3169.
  • @yunline Added the missing BLENDMODE_MUL (relevant to the experimental _sdl2.video module) in #3258.
  • @ankith26, @MyreMylar, and @zoldalma999 all worked together (we love to see it) to straighten out event.peek behavior between implementation, type hints, and documentation, in #3283. Classifying this as a bugfix because the previous behavior was a mistake and has been fixed.

Peformance improvements

  • @Starbuck5 removed unnecessary calls to PyNumber_Index, PyLong_Check-- speeding up x = rect[0] and rect[0] = x 7-9% percent-- in #3242.
  • @Starbuck5 optimized an internal function that converts pairs of Python numbers into C integers or floats. This function is used all over the place, but is only significant for functions that were pretty quick anyways. Rect.move_ip and Rect.collidepoint were tested to be 19% and 17% faster, respectively. Contributed in #3214.
  • @ankith26 and @damusss improved the speed of color parsing for color names (e.g "green") and string hex values (e.g. "#FF00FF") by more than 2x, by adding a fast path before stranger arguments are considered. Contributed in #3297 and #3302.

Deprecations

  • @ankith26 deprecated Window's foreign kwarg and Window.focus's input_only kwarg in #3234
  • @Starbuck5 marked old type aliases as deprecated (SurfaceType, RectType --- just use Surface and Rect!) #3288

Docs and Types

  • @zoldalma999 began implementation of a new documentation system where we generate the docs from a unified representation in the type hints. This will allow editors to see and display the documentation of each function as the user uses it. Currently this is only implemented for the time and cursors modules, it is planned to roll out to other modules in future releases. See #3188.

An example before/after with docs in the type hints

  • @aatle improved the type hints, especially around Color, Rect, display, and geometry. See #3172, #3183, #3248, and #3264.
  • @gavinmorrow fixed a grammar mistake in the Window docs in #3194.
  • @Starbuck5 corrected some older docs content and some recent invalid formatting that got through, in #3204, #3205, #3266, #3272, and #3316.
  • @ankith26 improved the type hints around the experimental geometry and _sdl2 modules, as well as the freetype module, in #3212, #3300, #3301.
  • @damusss expanded the type hints for pygame.Window init keyword arguments to make them easier to discover in editors/IDEs, see #3295.
  • @XORandom and @noahcse worked on Russian and Traditional Chinese readmes, respectively, in #3138 and #3113.
  • @GabrieleLS added a note to the mixer documentation about different meanings of the word "channel" in #3228.
  • @JovialKnoll did a grammar fix and removed incorrect information from the Surface docs in #3231 and #3263
  • @yunline fixed a formatting mistake in sndarray.rst and cursors.rst in #3257
  • @Matiiss documented how volume is stored internally for (get|set)_volume functions/methods (129-value scale) in #3091

Tests and Examples

  • @damusss Added __name__ == "__main__" guards to the examples, so they can't be accidentally run on import. People occasionally import them on accident, like in this case. Contributed in #3181.
  • @Akaracy added a test for draw.arc in #3230.
  • @MyreMylar renamed TestTags so it doesn't get confused for a test in #3276.
  • @MyreMylar fixed most of the Deprecation Warnings in surfarray_test in #3274.

SDL 3 porting

  • @Starbuck5 put in several PRs to getting modules compiling or get modules closer to compiling, focusing on modules failing because of SDL3's pixelformat changes. See #3166, #3171, #3278, #3294, #3308, #3307.
  • @ankith26 put in a bunch of PRs as well, getting time, surflock, constants, event, imageext, window, key, and mouse all compiling for SDL3. See #3206, #3217, #3262, #3251, #3207.

Maintenance

  • @ankith26 added a new dev.py file to help pygame-ce devs run necessary commands and do editable builds very smoothly, as a spiritual successor to setup.py which is seemingly being phased out in the Python packaging ecosystem. See #3128.
  • @ankith26 and @Starbuck5 kept us up to date with SDL2 (and SDL3 releases/prereleases for our experimental support). We've pulled in the new SDL 2.30.12, SDL_image 2.8.4, and SDL_ttf 2.24.0. Contributed in #3203, #3261, #3271, #3286, #3304, #3279, and #3322.

Now, let's dive into what's new!

New and improved API

Bugfixes

  • @Starbuck5 fixed an OpenGL issue in Window init in #3059

  • @oddbookworm fixed a break when the OS resizes the window in set_mode in #2992

  • @bilhox fixed segfault with antialiased draw functions with a depth different than 32bits in #3008

☀️🌊🏖️😎🏄🐚🌈🏝️🍹☀️🌊🏖️🎉

We are pleased to do yet another release of pygame-ce, and this has been possible due to the efforts of over 20 code contributors. Together, we have made 193 commits across 139 files via 80 pull requests in the last 2 months since the previous release!

Now, onto the highlights!

Highlights

  • Added Python 3.13 (just standard 3.13, no free threading yet) and PyPy for apple silicon support.

  • We have a new logo!

pygame-ce logo

  • We haven't run out of optimization ideas yet 😅, we've managed to cram a few more in this release.

New API

  • There is now a default destination position (0, 0) for Surface.blit, thanks to @damusss in #2936.
  • @itzpr3d4t0r added a new function Surface.premul_alpha_ip to premultiply alpha faster by operating in place instead of needing to allocate a new Surface. @Matiiss also helped with documentation. See #2899, #2972, and #2980.

Bugfixes

  • @Matiiss fixed passing parent_window=None to display.message_box in #2723.
  • @itzpr3d4t0r fixed an issue transform.hsl not working on certain pixel formats in #2948.
  • @oddbookworm fixed a Surface.fill where rects with negative positions would slide to (0, 0) and then fill, instead of only filling part of the Rect. See #2939 for details.
  • @ankith26 fixed using SCALED after not using SCALED in display in #2925.
  • @damusss fixed using OpenGL with a resizable pygame.Window, see #2915.

General Enhancements

  • @MyreMylar added a SIMD printout (SSE2, AVX2 & NEON) to pygame.print_debug_info() in #2897. This will help us debug any SIMD-backend specific bugs submitted by users.
  • @damusss added support for radius = 0 circles to the experimental geometry module, see #2913.
  • @zoldalma999 added new "ABGR" format support to image.frombytes and image.tobytes in #2951.
  • @zoldalma999 made the experimental Window class subclassable in #2950.
  • @ankith26 added support for iterables in display.update, see #2987.
  • @Starbuck5 and @ankith26 added Python 3.13 support in #2994 and #3030.

Performance Enhancements

  • @itzpr3d4t0r continued his quest to optimize all the things, merging improvements to PixelArray.make_surface, transform.scale2x, Surface.fblits (a fix for a performance regression), mask.from_surface and (F)Rect methods. See #2953, #2859, #2978, #2895, and #2908 for more details.
  • @mzivic7 got a 5-6% boost out of draw.aacircle (new in pygame-ce 2.5.0) in #3012.
  • @Starbuck5 boosted the performance of some draw operations on 24-bit surfaces, with a 20% improvement on single-pixel line drawing, see #3021.

Deprecations and Removals

No new deprecations this release, but-

  • @ankith26 added deprecation warnings to some already-deprecated API (freetype.was_init, scrap.lost) in #3001.

Docs and Type Hints

  • @Mega-JC created a new logo and added it to the docs (in collaboration with @kadir014 on the design), in #2965. This is great for us to express our own identity as a project.
  • @REX2626, @whangho, @Mic-lab, and @damusss made grammar and wording improvements to docs content. See #2907, #2919, #2911, #3004, and #2901.
  • @damusss made it so deprecated functions are marked with the deprecated decorator in #2984. This allows editors to show users that a function is deprecated very neatly. They also made some smaller enhancements to the type stubs in #2918 and #2926.
  • @ankith26 modernized the stubs to use python-3.8-isms in #2995
  • @MrF1ow added a Contribution Section to README to help out new contributors in #2910.
  • @MyreMylar added license identifier to README in #2890.
  • @oddbookworm changed dark theme slightly to make code more readable in some cases in #2960.
