Highlights

SkiaSharp 2.88.9 fixes Uno Skia XamlCanvas, WinUI byte-buffer marshalling and SKTypeface kerning.

None in this release.

SKXamlCanvas on Uno Skia uses Bgra8888 — SKXamlCanvas on Uno Skia now uses Bgra8888 colours so the on-screen surface matches what the Skia backend produces. (#2919)
WinUI native helper for GetByteBuffer — A WinUI-specific native helper was added so GetByteBuffer works reliably on the WinUI target. — ❤️ @jeromelaban (#3039)
GetKerningPairAdjustments returns the right values — SKTypeface.GetKerningPairAdjustments no longer returns wrong values for kerning pairs. (#2886)
SKXamlCanvas tolerates null XamlRoot on unload — SKXamlCanvas no longer throws when its XamlRoot is null during unload. (#2884)

HarfBuzzSharp 7.3.0.3 works around a spurious IDE warning alongside the SkiaSharp maintenance.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release!
