**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/compare/v2023.02.10...v2023.05.21

Highlights:

- `sh` version has been restricted to `sh>=1.10, <2.0;`, as `sh>2.0` is incompatible. We will migrate our code accordingly in the future.
- `pydantic` recipe has been updated.

Full changelog:

- restrict sh version [\2746](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/2746) ([HyTurtle](https://github.com/HyTurtle))
- 🐛 fix: Update `pydantic` recipe [\2742](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/2742) ([FilipeMarch](https://github.com/FilipeMarch))
- Merge master into develop [\2741](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/2741) ([misl6](https://github.com/misl6))

Highlights:

- `scypt` recipe has been updated.
- `--orientation` option controls the allowed orientations (`portrait`, `landscape`, `portrait-reverse`, `landscape-reverse`). The allowed orientations list is then set to `KIVY_ORIENTATION` environment variable, which is used during window setup time to populate the `SDL_HINT_ORIENTATIONS` value, as we're doing for other platforms.
- `--manifest-orientation` option has been added to keep the `android:screenOrientation` personalisation functionality, even if Android will be likely deprecate this attribute in future.
- If `--manifest-orientation` is not set, and only (one of multiple) `--orientation options are passed, the value for `android:screenOrientation` is guessed and synthesized from the --orientation option. Since `android:screenOrientation` accepts only 1 value, if multiple `--orientation` are given, `android:screenOrientation` will be set to unspecified.
- Introduced support for permission properties (`maxSdkVersion` and `usesPermissionFlags`)

Full changelog:

- Implements `--manifest-orientation` and changes how `--orientation` works so we can now pass the setting to the SDL orientation hint [\2739](https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/2739) ([misl6](https://github.com/misl6))
