v3.3.2

 

• Changed Skia4Delphi's default Canvas on Windows to raster based to avoid some issue in specific scenarios; (1)
• Fixed support to Android 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0 when using Skia4Delphi Canvas;
• Fixed form draw in Metal when "Zoomed setting" is enabled in iOS/macOS settings when using Skia4Delphi Canvas; (RSP-37935)

 

1. On Windows, Skia4Delphi has 2 types of Canvas to render the forms: GPU based and raster based (CPU). Before this release, the default was GPU based, however, support for GPU operations is not well implemented by the OS in some scenarios, especially in some VMs. It is not possible to detect these scenarios at runtime, so we changed our default Canvas to raster based (CPU) on Windows. However, you can still force the use of our GPU-based Canvas by adding to the dpr: GlobalUseSkiaRasterWhenAvailable := False;. Both have excellent and higher performance than the FMX but there are specific operations where the GPU-based Canvas is much faster, such as running shaders, mainly created by SkRuntimeEffects.
