6.0 Released Apr-2026

  • Release of new features and bug fixes from version 5 as an open source release.
  • All of the licensing, security, and upgrade service code has been removed.

6.2 Released 14-Jun-2026

  • Fixed bug in Window.settings_save
  • Added ability to "print" an image inline in a Multiline element
  • The ability to upgrade to the latest Maint Release is once again built into PSG. You can use the Home Window or the command line commandpsgupgrade. You can see the release notes and install a new version.
  • Fix for bug #5750. Graph events was going into an infinite loop when write_event_value events were received. Fix was to clear the realtime button flag. Potential for regression problems should be minimal since only the Graph element conditional was changed.
  • Added Enhancement #6671. Added parameter select select_node_keys to Tree.update. Enables nodes in the tree to be programmatically selected as if the user selected them.
  • Fixed Multiline echo_stdout_stderr feature/parameter. Was not correctly echoing out to sys.stdout, stderr. Edited docstring to document the correct behavior. It will only echo if you've rerouted stdout or stderr to the element. It will not do the reroute for you.
  • Fix for Issue #6686 - Calendar chooser button clearing fields that should only be cleared when window.read returns. Used the newly added element_that_generated_event variable from the Graph element fix above (already came in handy).
  • Display the Maint Release version number in the Home Window. Moved the install button
  • Added ability to specify timers using string "H:M:S" when calling Window.start_timer.
  • Enhancement - support for horizontal scroll only for scrollable column element
  • Fixed Multiline echo_stdout_stderr feature/parameter. Was not correctly echoing out to sys.stdout, stderr. Edited docstring to document the correct behavior. It will only echo if you've rerouted stdout or stderr to the element. It will not do the reroute for you.
  • Fix for Issue #6686 - Calendar chooser button clearing fields that should only be cleared when window.read returns. Used the newly added element_that_generated_event variable from the Graph element fix above (already came in handy).
  • Added ability to specify timers using string "H:M:S" when calling Window.start_timer.
  • Enhancement - ability to set the Frame border color. Added border_color and border_width_no_relief parms to the Frame element
  • Frame border color to default to the text element color if no color is set

6.3 Released 2-Aug-2026

  • Mouseover Image - NEW feature for Image and Button elements
  • Listbox - New method get_active_index. Returns the index of where the cursor is located.
  • Window new features and fixes
  • Window Anchors
    • Window Location Anchor - New location option for creating and getting location for a window. Anchors are specified using these constants:
      WIN_ANCHOR_UPPER_LEFT
      WIN_ANCHOR_UPPER_RIGHT
      WIN_ANCHOR_LOWER_LEFT
      WIN_ANCHOR_LOWER_RIGHT
      WIN_ANCHOR_CENTER
    • Added location_anchor parameter to all the popups.
    • New center_on_location parameter that changes the location within a window to use for initial creation. Default if upper left corner.
    • Added window_anchor parameter easy_print and the debug window.
    • Updated Window.move to use anchors when moving. The anchor used when window created can be overridden using anchor parameter
  • New use_min_size boolean parameter - If True and the window is resizable, set the minimum size to the size of window when created
  • Bug fix in Window.settings_restore. If a value was not yet set for an element, then should save the setting that was specified
  • Finally got the rtype docstring right for Window __getitem__. It fixed the type warnings and improved the autocomplete

  • Added parameters tooltip_text_color, tooltip_background_color, tooltip_font, tooltip_time, tooltip_offset to Window object.

  • Added automatic key creation for non-input element. Input type element already get assigned a unique key if one is not specified. Previously, static elements have no key unless explicitly set (e.g. Text elem). Now all those static elements will get a key with format "KeyID 41B56A4C50" if a key is not specified.

  • Fixed bug 6896 (Tree object has no attribute BType). Needed to check the element type is a Button before checking the type of button
  • Placeholder - new feature for Input elements. When the input is empty and it doesn't have focus and the mouse is not over it, then a "placeholder" text will be shown in the input area. Considering adding to Combo and other input-style elements.
  • Added new symbols:
  • SYMBOL_GEAR = '⛭'
  • SYMBOL_DEGREE = '°'
  • SYMBOL_REFRESH = '⟳'
  • Right click menu
  • Added propogate_to_window param to Element.set_right_click_menu.
  • Fixed right click problem of both a window and an element getting the click event.
  • Automatically restart user's program after upgrading to the PySimpleGUI maint release.
  • Changed a LOT of docstrings for parms that are location and size type of parameters. Added (None, None) to valid types.
  • Expanded the set_tooltip method's parameters to include the text/background colors, tooltip time, tooltip offset, skip bind. Expanded ToolTip object to include the same parms.
  • Added border_color parm to the Frame.update method so that the border color can be changed dynamically
  • Added font parm to element.set_tooltip. Now all aspects of the tooltip are controllable through this interface.
  • Added 'thickness' parameter to HorizontalSeparator and VerticalSeparator elements. If no thickness is specified, then the current Separator elements are used which as based on TTK Line widgets. If a thickness is specified, then a Frame widget is used to draw the line. The added benefit of this addition is that the color of the Frame based lines will match the color used in Frame Elements.
  • User Settings - Native support for tuples in UserSettings files (json). They're now automatically serialized.
  • Graph Element
  • Fixed Graph.draw_arc docstring. It incorrectly stated the available styles. Should have been 'pieslice', 'chord', 'arc'
  • Graph.draw_line - added capstyle which determines how the end of the line should appear
  • Graph.draw_lines - added arrow, arrow_shape, joinstyle, capstype parameters.
