Skia version: 107.3.2

RAD Studio 12.0 Athens

Embarcadero has integrated Skia4Delphi into RAD Studio in its new release RAD Studio 12.0 Athens introducing this version of Skia4Delphi, v6.0.0, and adding some extra units with exclusive Embarcadero features.

Compatibility break

1. Units renamed
   Embarcadero integrated Skia4Delphi into RAD Studio 12 Athens and to improve the integration of the opensource project with the integrated version of the RAD Studio 12 Athens, we decided to keep the new unit names adopted by Embarcadero:

   • Skia.pas ➜ System.Skia.pas
   • Skia.API.pas ➜ System.Skia.API.pas
   • Skia.FMX.pas ➜ FMX.Skia.pas
   • Skia.FMX.Graphics.pas ➜ FMX.Skia.Canvas.pas
   • Skia.FMX.Canvas.GL.pas ➜ FMX.Skia.Canvas.GL.pas
   • Skia.FMX.Canvas.Metal.pas ➜ FMX.Skia.Canvas.Metal.pas
   • Skia.Vcl.pas ➜ Vcl.Skia.pas

2. SkRuntimeEffect rewritted
   The SkRuntimeEffect structure was rewritten following the same structure as the original Google Skia API, to facilitate future updates and allow better integration with other APIs (such as SkImageFilter for example). Now the SkRuntimeEffect just loads the SKSL code, then the SkRuntimeShaderBuilder must be used to allocate and change the uniforms and then create the shader. See examples of the new functionality in our demos.
