Skia Graphics Release Notes
This file includes a list of high level updates for each milestone release.
* * *
Milestone 82
<Insert new notes here- top is most recent.>
* Added two new helper methods to SkSurfaceCharacterization: createBackendFormat and
createFBO0. These make it easier for clients to create new surface characterizations that
differ only a little from an existing surface characterization.
* Removed SkTMax and SkTMin.
* Removed SkTClamp and SkClampMax.
* Removed SkScalarClampMax and SkScalarPin.
* Removed SkMax32 and SkMin32.
* Removed SkMaxScalar and SkMinScalar.
* SkColorSetA now warns if the result is unused.
* An SkImageInfo with a null SkColorSpace passed to SkCodec::getPixels() and
related calls is treated as a request to do no color correction at decode
time.
* Add new APIs to add attributes to document structure node when
creating a tagged PDF.
* Remove CGFontRef parameter from SkCreateTypefaceFromCTFont.
Use CTFontManagerCreateFontDescriptorFromData instead of
CGFontCreateWithDataProvider to create CTFonts to avoid memory use issues.
* Added SkCodec:: and SkAndroidCodec::getICCProfile for reporting the native
ICC profile of an encoded image, even if it doesn't map to an SkColorSpace.
* SkSurface::ReplaceBackendTexture takes ContentChangeMode as a parameter,
which allow callers to specify whether retain a copy of the current content.
* * *
Milestone 81
* Added support for GL_NV_fence extension.
* Make SkImageInfo::validRowBytes require rowBytes to be pixel aligned. This
makes SkBitmap match the behavior of raster SkSurfaces in rejecting
non-aligned rowBytes.
* Added an SkImage::MakeRasterFromCompressed entry point. Also updated
SkImage::MakeFromCompressed to decompress the compressed image data if
the GPU doesn't support the specified compression type (i.e., macOS Metal
doesn't support BC1_RGB8_UNORM so such compressed images will always be
decompressed on that platform).
* Added support for BC1 RGBA compressed textures
* Added CachingHint to SkImage::makeRasterImage
* Added SkAnimatedImage::getCurrentFrame()
* Add support to create an SkSurface from an MTKView, with delayed acquisition of
the MTLDrawable.
Entry point: SkSurface::MakeFromMTKView
* Removed SkIRect::EmptyIRect(). Use SkIRect::MakeEmpty() instead.
https://review.skia.org/262382/
* Moved SkRuntimeEffect to public API. This is the new (experimental) interface to custom SkSL
shaders and color filters.
* Added BC1 compressed format support. Metal and Vulkan seem to only support the BC
formats on desktop machines.
* Added compressed format support for backend texture creation API.
This adds the following new entry points:
GrContext::compressedBackendFormat
GrContext::createCompressedBackendTexture
The latter method comes in variants that allow color-initialized and
compressed texture data initialized.
* Added SkMatrix::MakeTrans(SkIVector)
https://review.skia.org/259804
* * *
Milestone 80
* For Vulkan backend, we now require that the VkDevice, Queue, and Instance outlive
either the destruction or abandoning of the GrContext. Additionally, all
GrBackendTextures created via GrContext::createBackendTexture calls must be deleted
before destroying or abandoning the GrContext.
https://review.skia.org/257921
* Removed SkSize& SkSize::operator=(const SkISize&)
https://review.skia.org/257880
* SkISize width() and height() now constexpr
https://review.skia.org/257680
* Added SkMatrix::MakeTrans(SkVector) and SkRect::makeOffset(SkVector).
https://review.skia.org/255782
* Added SkImageInfo::MakeA8(SkISize) and added optional color space parameter to
SkImageInfo::MakeN32Premul(SkISize).
* Added dimensions() and getFrameCount() to SkAnimatedImage
https://review.skia.org/253542
* Removed SkMatrix44 version of toXYZD50 from SkColorSpace. Switched to skcms types in
transferFn, invTrasnferFn, and gamutTransformTo functions.
https://review.skia.org/252596
* Removed rotation and YUV support from SkColorMatrix
https://review.skia.org/252188
* Added kBT2020_SkYUVColorSpace. This is BT.2020's YCbCr conversion (non-constant-luminance).
https://review.skia.org/252160
* Remove old async read pixels APIs
https://review.skia.org/251198
* Expose SkBlendModeCoeff and SkBlendMode_AsCoeff for Porter-Duff blend modes.
https://review.skia.org/252600
* * *
Milestone 79
* SkTextBlob::Iter to discover the glyph indices and typefaces in each run
https://skia-review.googlesource.com/246296
* Added support for PQ and HLG transfer functions to SkColorSpace.
https://skia-review.googlesource.com/c/skia/+/249000
* Added new api on GrContext ComputeImageSize. This replaces the hold static helper
ComputeTextureSize.
https://skia-review.googlesource.com/c/skia/+/247337
* New versions of SkSurface async-rescale-and read APIs that allow client to extend
the lifetime of the result data. Old versions are deprecated.
https://review.skia.org/245457
* Add SkColorInfo. It's dimensionless SkImageInfo.
https://review.skia.org/245261
* Added SkPixmap-based createBackendTexture method to GrContext. This allows clients to create
backend resources (initialized with texture data) that Skia/Ganesh doesn't know about/track.
https://review.skia.org/244676
* Add explicit src and dst colorspace parameters to SkColorFilter::filterColor4f()
https://review.skia.org/244882
* Remove Vulkan/Metal float32 RGBA texture support
https://review.skia.org/244881
* Add SkSurface::MakeFromCAMetalLayer
https://review.skia.org/242563
* Added kAlpha_F16_SkColorType, kRG_F16_SkColorType and kRGBA_16161616_SkColorType.
This is intended to help support HDR YUV uses case (e.g., P010 and P016). As such,
the addition is focused on allowing creation of SkPixmaps and SkImages and not
SkSurfaces (i.e., who wants to render to render to these?)
https://review.skia.org/241357
* Start to move nested SkPath types (e.g. Direction, Verb) up to root level in SkPathTypes.h
https://review.skia.org/241079
* Remove isRectContour and ksNestedFillRects from public
https://review.skia.org/241078
* Added kRG_88_SkColorType. This is intended to help support YUV uses case (e.g., NV12).
As such, the addition is focused on allowing creation of SkPixmaps and SkImages and not
SkSurfaces (i.e., who wants to render to RG?)
https://review.skia.org/239930
https://review.skia.org/235797
* Make the size of program/pipeline caches configurable via
GrContextOptions::fRuntimeProgramCacheSize
https://review.skia.org/239756
* Added kAlpha_16_SkColorType and kRG_1616_SkColorType. This is intended to help support HDR YUV
uses case (e.g., P010 and P016). As such, the addition is focused on allowing creation of
SkPixmaps and SkImages and not SkSurfaces (i.e., who wants to render to render to these?)
https://review.skia.org/239930
* Add GrContext::precompileShader to allow up-front compilation of previously-cached shaders.
https://review.skia.org/239438
* * *

go away entirely
https://review.skia.org/235104
* SkImage: new factories: DecodeToRaster, DecodeToTexture
https://review.skia.org/234476
* SkImageFilter API refactor started:
- Provide new factory API in include/effects/SkImageFilters

https://review.skia.org/232839
* SkImage::makeTextureImage and SkImage::MakeCrossContextFromPixmap no longer
