Compatibility break

We are in continuous development, so some updates will bring compatibility breaks. So, pay attention to version numbers, we use semantic versions (for major versions there is some compatibility break). See some breaking changes in this version:

• No longer use TSkAnimatedImage.Enabled to start or stop an animation. Now use TSkAnimatedImage.Animation.Enabled.
• The class TSkTypefaceManager is deprecated in favor to TSkDefaultProviders;
• Several changes in API (Skia.pas);

 

Supported platforms

• RAD Studio 11 Alexandria: All platforms
• RAD Studio 10.3 Rio or newer: Windows and Android
• RAD Studio XE7 or newer: Windows
