Since Ubuntu currently released, latest version of Ubuntu LTS 18.04. So kivy is not working anymore in Ubuntu. Can anyone please give a rough estimate that when new release will be available for kivy?

You can compile the git version yourself on a Ubuntu 18.04 but it requires a few Ubuntu 16.04 libs to be also installed :-(
I have build it myself, kivy 1.10, for our project I can put it online if anyone is interested ?

And be aware that currently kivy 1.10 has a bug in the camera code when running with opencv 3.* which is also default for ubuntu 18.04 so I had first had to build opencv 2.0 on ubuntu 18.04 :-(
Ubuntu 18.04 is a bit hard to get kivy working as they changed the way cython is compiled and therefor all stuff build with cython is incompatible with previous versions.
