Highlights

SkiaSharp 4.153.0 previews the Skia m153 engine update and its first upstream bug-fix merge. This preview is intentionally small, focusing on the renderer refresh and the platform behavior that comes with it.

Breaking Changes

Linux font fallback may choose a different face — Skia now tries FcFontMatch before the older FcFontSort fallback path on Linux. If your app depends on the exact fallback face that fontconfig chose before, set an explicit family/style or bundle the typeface you need. (#4826, #4927)

Engine

Skia updated to milestone m153 — Moves the bundled renderer onto the m153 line and immediately folds in the first upstream chrome/m153 bug-fix merge. (#4826, #4927)

HarfBuzzSharp 14.2.1.300

No HarfBuzzSharp binding changes shipped in this release — it rebuilds the same HarfBuzz as the previous line.

Preview 1 (September 3, 2026)

Preview 1 opens the m153 line with the engine refresh and its first upstream bug-fix merge, while otherwise keeping the release intentionally narrow.
