[QUESTION] Roadmap for m88 and build stability

[Danielku15]

Hi there.

Sorry to bother you with this topic again directly after you released the Skia m80 based SkiaSharp. The m80 update solved long runner issue for me. I highly appreciate that 🎉 👍 .

Unfortunately m80 suffers from some "edgy" rendering of quadratic curves which causes some issues on my side with my visual regression test suite. Here the concrete example: The m80 curve seems to be rendered quite edgy instead of a smooth curve. This mainly happens on small resolutions:

Chrome m80 suffered from the same issue so it is just a matter of having the latest Skia integrated. I saw that you just lately updated on the develop branch to m88 and I was wondering if you already have a first guess on when you will release a potential 2.88? There is not yet any milestone defined but the development seems to be quite active.

Also I wanted to contribute some changes related to #1253 where the text align is not respected when using Harfbuzz. Unfortunately it seems that the current develop state is not testable. All PRs are currently red and locally fetching the pre-built native libs cause runtime issues. Do you have a potential ETA when develop will be stable enough again for other devs to contribute. I followed the "Managed-Only Building" guide from the Wiki but the latest native DLLs are still on m80.

Keep up the good work.

Greetings Daniel

Hey there. Sorry about the long delay of nothing happening on this repo. I was just doing crazy things with all the new bits in MAUI for preview 2 of .NET 6. Luckily, with the previews of .NET 6, we now support the M1 chip... Which means I am "forced" to get back onto SkiaSharp to release m88 which has M1 support 😉

I just need to review what I had left and then maybe get a preview out.
