Full Changelog: v4.3.1...v4.3.2

• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.3.1 release.

• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.3.0 release.

• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.2.1 release.

• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.2.0 release.

• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.1.1 release.

• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.1.0 release.

• Add prepareApp() to SeriousPythonPlatform — materializes the packaged app on disk (if needed) and returns the directory containing its entry point.
• Remove the runtime zip-extraction helpers (extractAssetZip / extractFileZip / extractAssetOrFile / extractAsset); apps now ship unpacked in the bundle (or, on Android, as a stored asset unpacked by the platform plugin). getDirFiles is retained.
• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 4.0.0 release (app files unpacked in the bundle).

• Remove the scaffold getPlatformVersion method from the platform interface and its method-channel implementation.
• Version bump aligning with the serious_python_* 3.0.0 release (in-process dart_bridge FFI transport, Flutter 3.44.2).

• Version bump aligning with the major release of the serious_python_* platform plugins (multi-version Python support, default Python now 3.14). No interface changes.

Improvements

• Cache downloaded Python distribution tarballs (python-android-dart-<py>-<abi>.tar.gz) across builds. The downloadDistArchive_* Gradle tasks now write to a persistent cache directory — $FLET_CACHE_DIR/python-build/v<python_version>/ if the env var is set, otherwise ~/.flet/cache/python-build/v<python_version>/ — and use onlyIfModified true + useETag "all" so subsequent builds issue a conditional GET (If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since) against objects.githubusercontent.com instead of re-downloading 30–100 MB per ABI per build. When the upstream release republishes a tarball at the same URL (e.g. a Python patch update under the existing v<py> release), the validators flip and the cache refreshes automatically; otherwise the build skips the download entirely. tempAndMove true guards against partial downloads being kept in the cache (flet-dev/flet#6555, #208) by @FeodorFitsner.

Bug fixes

• Set PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=false for pip install in the package command so packaging works in environments where users have globally exported PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true (#202, #204) by @FeodorFitsner.

• Breaking change: --platform argument value Pyodide has been renamed to Emscripten to match what platform.system() returns in the Pyodide runtime, so PEP 508 markers like platform_system != 'Emscripten' work consistently.

• Fix web packaging to skip site-packages when appropriate (#199).

• Disable user-site packages in pip environment (#195).

• Android: Add debug logs and deduplicate FFI imports.
• Android: Invalidate extracted assets when version keys change.

• 16 KB memory page support for Android 15+ (by @ReYaNOW).

• Fix: Hidden files in site-packages are skipped when building macOS app.
• Fix: Do not delete package metadata in .dist-info directories (#164).

• Breaking change: multiple --requirements options of package command must be passed as --requirements DEP_1 --requirements DEP_2 ... (or -r DEP_1 -r DEP_2 ...) instead of -r DEP_1,DEP_2,... to support dependency specifications with commas, e.g. pandas>=2.2,<3.
• Fix site-packages packaging for Pyodide platform.

• Fix serious_python to work on macOS 12 Monterey and built with Xcode 14.

• Set MinimumOSVersion to 13.0 for generated Python frameworks.

• Fixed: xcframeworks migration script didn't work for sub-directories.

• Added com.flet.serious_python_android.PythonActivity holder class with mActivity holding a reference to an app MainActivity. Needed for plyer.

• Android plugin sets MAIN_ACTIVITY_CLASS_NAME environment variable with a class name of an app MainActivity.
• Android plugin sets ANDROID_NATIVE_LIBRARY_DIR environment variable with the path to a directory containing app .so libraries. Needed for patching ctypes.find_library.
