New in m120:

  • Rudimentary support (TextBlob::MakeFromShapedText) of text-shaping via upstream's libSkShaper module. Intially this was added to support emoji's with skin-tone modifiers (#195), but has the fortunate side-effect that now RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Tibetan ...) work as desired in skia-python's drawing. Note libSkShaper is buggy on windows. ( https://issues.skia.org/issues/310510988 )

  • Option to use freetype as fontmgr on non-linux (#213) - using skia.FontMgr.New_Custom_Empty() (upstream's SkFontMgr_New_Custom_Empty). This allows Windows/Mac users to use some font formats not supported by DirectWrite/CoreText (see #195); and also work around bug in CoreText (#138, https://issues.skia.org/310510989 ).

  • OT-SVG font support is on by default now (#212, also see #195).

  • Vulkan is enabled for Linux/Windows. Most of the APIs were in m87 (stubs?) but were made optional in m98+, and dependent on GPU backend compiled in. For Mac OS X users, upstream removed MoltenVK support in m83, and recommend using Metal backend (TODO).

Since m119:

  • Removed upstream:

    SkTypeface::UniqueID() SkFont::refTypefaceOrDefault and SkFont::getTypefaceOrDefault() GrBackendSemaphore::initGL and GrBackendSemaphore::glSync

  • A few Image.* methods are re-enabled - they were emulated in m116+ but left disabled mistakenly.

    MakeTextureFromCompressed, MakeFromCompressedTexture, MakeFromYUVAPixmaps, makeNonTextureImage, MakeRasterFromCompressed, MakeCrossContextFromPixmap, MakeFromAdoptedTexture .

Since m87:

  • sampleCnt in "GrBackendRenderTarget(int width, int height, int sampleCnt, const GrVkImageInfo& vkInfo)" is ignored. In m87 header, "/** Deprecated. Samplecount is now part of GrVkImageInfo. */".
