SkiaSharp 1.68.1.1 is a servicing patch on 1.68.1 with image decoding, HarfBuzz string and native build fixes.

Breaking Changes

None in this release.

Bug Fixes

Image decoding corrected — Fixes cases where images were decoded with the wrong colour or pixel handling, restoring correct output for common formats. (#1055)
HarfBuzz string handling and buffer overflows — Corrects string marshalling in the HarfBuzz binding and cherry-picks upstream fixes for buffer-overflow bugs. (#1034, #1037)
Sample renderer picks a supported sample count — Stops the sample surfaces asking for the maximum MSAA sample count, which some drivers refused. (#1060)

Lifecycle & Internals

Weak-reference tracking cleaned up on removal — TryRemove now clears the tracked WeakReference so long-lived object caches do not keep stale entries around. — ❤️ @daltonks (#1039)

Platform

Native build modernised; Nano Server added — Reworks the native build process and adds a Nano Server target so SkiaSharp runs in stripped-down Windows containers. (#1040)

HarfBuzzSharp 2.6.1.1

Rolls the bundled HarfBuzz build forward to 2.6.1.1 with the native build-process modernisation.
