SkiaSharp 4 is now Generally Available
SkiaSharp 4, the first stable release of the 2D graphics library for .NET, is now generally available. The release features alignment with upstream Skia milestones, and will be celebrated with a half-day online event on June 30. The update includes version 4.148.0 and is available through the .NET ecosystem.
Background
Skia is the open-source 2D graphics library that powers Google Chrome, Android, and many other applications — it handles drawing shapes, text, images, and UI rendering. SkiaSharp is a cross-platform .NET wrapper around Skia, maintained by Microsoft and contributors. It lets developers use Skia's drawing capabilities from C# and other .NET languages. Version 4.0 is notable because it fell far behind upstream Skia for years; this release commits to tracking Skia milestones closely going forward, which matters for anyone building .NET apps that need reliable, modern 2D rendering on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, or WebAssembly (via Uno Platform). The announcement is on Microsoft's .NET Blog and is paired with a half-day online event featuring the maintainers.
