Version 4.151.0 (Unreleased)

Color parsing and stability

Highlights

The unreleased 4.151.0 line adds faster color parsing and an upstream GPU text stability fix. It also removes the unnecessary unsafe marker from GRContextOptions, making GPU context configuration easier to use in projects that do not enable unsafe code.

Breaking Changes

None in this preview line.

API Surface

SKColor parsing is faster and span-friendly — Parse and TryParse now use an allocation-free hex parser and add ReadOnlySpan overloads, so callers can parse colors from larger buffers without slicing strings. (#4345)
GRContextOptions no longer requires unsafe context — The type no longer carries an unsafe modifier, allowing projects to configure GPU contexts without enabling unsafe code just to reference the options class. (#3991)

Bug Fixes

GPU text allocator stability fix — Pulls in Skia's m151 SubRunAllocator use-after-free fix, improving stability for text rendering paths backed by the bundled engine. (#4382)
