Skia Graphics Release Notes This file includes a list of high level updates for each milestone release. * * * Milestone 84 * * SkCamera.h and all of its contained classes are DEPRECATED. Use SkM44 if you want to have 3d transformations. * Changed Dilate and Erode image filters to take SkScalar for radius instead of int. While the image filters themselves are defined in terms of discrete pixels, the radii provided by the user are mapped through the CTM so taking ints forced over discretization. After mapping through the CTM the radii are now rounded to pixels. https://review.skia.org/281731 https://review.skia.org/282636 * Updated the contract of GrContext and SkSurface flush calls in regards to semaphores. Made it clear that the caller is responsible for deleting any initialized semaphores after the flush call regardless if we were able to submit them or not. Also, allows skia to only submit a subset of the requested semaphores if we failed to create some. https://review.skia.org/282265 * SkCanvas::drawVertices will now always fill the triangles specified by the vertices. Previously, vertices with no colors and no (texture coordinates or shader) would be drawn in wireframe. https://review.skia.org/282043 * * * Milestone 83 * Remove localmatrix option from SkShaders::[Blend, Lerp] * Fill out Direct3D parameters for backend textures and backend rendertargets. * SkImage::makeTextureImage() takes an optional SkBudgeted param * Made non-GL builds of GPU backend more robust. https://review.skia.org/277456 * MoltenVK support removed. Use Metal backend instead. https://review.skia.org/277612 * * * Milestone 82 * Removed drawBitmap and related functions from SkDevice; all public drawBitmap functions on SkCanvas automatically wrap the bitmap in an SkImage and call the equivalent drawImage function. Drawing mutable SkBitmaps will now incur a mandatory copy. Switch to using SkImage directly or mark the bitmap as immutable before drawing. * Removed "volatile" flag from SkVertices. All SkVertices objects are assumed to be volatile (the previous default behavior). * Removed exotic legacy bitmap functions from SkCanvas (drawBitmapLattic, drawBitmapNine); the exotic SkImage functions still exist. * Make it possible to selectively turn on/off individual encoders/decoders, using skia_use_(libpng/libjpeg_turbo/libwebp)(decode/encode). * Removed GrGpuResource, GrSurface, and GrTexture from public api. These were not meant to be public, and we now can move them into src. Also removed getTexture function from SkImage.h * Removed Bones from SkVertices * Added a field to GrContextOptions that controls whether GL errors are checked after GL calls that allocate textures, etc. It also controls checking for shader compile success, and program linking success. * Made SkDeferredDisplayList.h officially part of the public API (i.e., moved it to include/core). Also added a ProgramIterator to SkDeferredDisplayList which allows clients to pre-compile some of the shaders the DDL requires. * 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. * Enforce the existing documentation in SkCanvas::saveLayer that it ignores any mask filter on the restore SkPaint. The 'coverage' of a layer is ill-defined, and masking should be handled by pre-clipping or using the auxiliary clip mask image of the SaveLayerRec. * * * 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 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 * * * Milestone 78 * SkDrawLooper is no longer supported in SkPaint or SkCanvas. https://review.skia.org/230579 https://review.skia.org/231736 * SkPath::Iter::next() now ignores its consumDegenerates bools. Those will so 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 - Consolidated enum types to use SkTileMode and SkColorChannel - Hide filter implementation classes - Hide previously public functions on SkImageFilter that were intended for internal use only https://review.skia.org/230198 https://review.skia.org/230876 https://review.skia.org/231256 * SkColorFilters::HSLAMatrix - new matrix color filter operating in HSLA space. https://review.skia.org/231736 * Modify GrBackendFormat getters to not return internal pointers.
