ANN: Skia4Delphi v6.4.0 Beta 1

[vfbb 298]

v6.4.0 Beta 1

We are pleased to announce one of the biggest updates of Ski4Delphi! For the first time in Delphi's history, we have a C++ library statically linked to a Delphi application on Windows, removing the dependency on sk4d.dll. In addition, we have updated the Skia library from version m107 to version m132.

 

After a long research and experiments, we were able to understand the "limitations" of the Delphi linker and build a pre-linker for C++ libraries that would get around these limitations, producing objects that are fully compatible with Delphi, which could be used to statically link not only Google Skia, but any C++ project in Delphi on Windows.

This is still a beta version, but all our tests have passed and there are no known issues regarding the new changes.

 

Enjoy! 🙂

Can you please elaborate this? Maybe a short article on this topic.

 

P.S. I've noticed that there have been several interesting Delphi projects from Brazilian developers lately. Skia for Delphi, D2Bridge Framework are the most notable.
