Version 32 of the stb-tester core Python API is now available. We have re-architected stbt.Keyboard to easily test on-screen keyboards with multiple modes (such as lowercase, uppercase, and symbols modes). We have added a powerful new API called stbt.find_selection_from_background to easily detect the position of a “selection” or “highlight” on the screen. We have sped up stbt.ocr hugely by caching previous results for identical inputs — so now you can use OCR more freely in navigation code without worrying about slowing down your test scripts.

The are several other new APIs and many fixes and quality-of-life improvements. Upgrading should be painless for most users; the only backwards-incompatible change that will affect most users is with stbt.Keyboard. A detailed tutorial explaining the new API is available here: Testing on-screen keyboards with Stb-tester.
