Subject: | skia-python 116.0b2 is out (Re: skia as a shared library, and the (poor) support for Google's OT-SVG variant by libre software) |

"It concentrates on OT-SVG, and fixing these two issues ...
Some COLRv1-related Skia internals from upstream's on-going effort in this area are also exposed for access. This experimental functionality is available to Linux/FreeType users only."
Since upstream skia m117 is out already, the next skia-python isn't 116b3, but 117b2 or 117b3. Between v87 and v116b2 is about 5000+ lines of code difference. I estimated that it will need ~30,000 to release 116 proper... so it will be another year or 10 betas or so, up to at least 130.0b2 :-(.
Upstream skia m116 to m117 is about 800 commits, or about 20+ changes per day.
That said, important old APIs are emulated. Most of not-working v87 parts are either rarely used or upstream decided to withdrawn, so most people won't notice the difference or miss anything by moving to 116b2 (hopefully).
