Highlights

SkiaSharp 2.88.8 adds compat overloads for SKImageFilter and makes SKXamlCanvas trim-friendly.

Breaking Changes

  • Default arguments removed from SKImageFilter.Create methods* — Optional trailing arguments on SKImageFilter.CreateAlphaThreshold, CreateArithmetic, CreateBlendMode, CreateBlur, CreateColorFilter, CreateDilate, CreateDisplacementMapEffect, CreateDistantLitDiffuse/Specular, CreateDropShadow, CreateDropShadowOnly, CreateErode, CreateMagnifier, CreateMatrixConvolution, CreateMerge, CreateOffset, CreatePaint, CreatePointLitDiffuse/Specular and CreateSpotLitDiffuse/Specular no longer have C# default values. Companion overloads without those optional parameters were added (#2810) so calls made through the compiler continue to work, but any code that reflected on the signature or dispatched dynamically may need to be updated. (#2810)

API Surface

  • New SKImageFilter compatibility overloads — New overloads on the SKImageFilter.Create* factory methods keep existing source-level callers working now that the default arguments have been removed. (#2810)

Lifecycle & Internals

  • Trim-friendly PlatformConfiguration — The PlatformConfiguration properties are now annotated so the trimmer can preserve them, avoiding runtime failures in trimmed apps. (#2734)
  • SKXamlCanvas removes async void — SKXamlCanvas no longer uses async void, so exceptions surface where callers can observe them. (#2731)
  • Invalid externs no longer emitted — The native binding no longer declares extern functions for entry points that don't exist, so the DLL loads cleanly on tighter loaders. (#2710)
