Berkelium extension for Kivy

Berkelium is a BSD licensed library for offscreen rendering via Chromium project. Check http://berkelium.org/ for more information about it. We are using a patched version of Berkelium, available at https://github.com/tito/berkelium (branch chromium8-alternate-bin)

  • This extension is under development. It's currently working and tested only for Linux 64 bits.
