New Features

API Surface

  • SKBitmap decoding improvements — Bitmaps can now be decoded as a specific format (size/scale, color type) and pixels can be replaced in a variety of ways.
  • SKBitmap Index8 color type support — Better support for the Index8 color type. ❤️ @Tylerflick
  • SKCanvas.QuickReject — Perform a fast bounds check before drawing to avoid unnecessary work.
  • SKCodec incremental decoding — Codecs now support incremental decoding for progressive image loading.
  • GRBackendRenderTargetDesc convenience members — Added Size and Rect properties for easier use.
  • SKColorTable indexer — Access colors directly via an indexer.
  • SKData as stream — SKData can now be used as a stream, which manages the lifetime of the underlying data.

Platform

  • Views ignore device scaling option — All raster-based views (SkiaSharp.Views and SkiaSharp.Views.Forms) now have an option to ignore device scaling.
  • SVG custom canvas sizing — SVG files can be loaded onto a canvas of a pre-defined size, ignoring the drawing size in the SVG file or handling files without a size set.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed SkiaSharp for Windows Mobile emulator and Xbox One.
