Hi https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/187176
This is an additional heads-up, skia on windows is about to become mandatory, i.e. --disable-skia will not work for master windows builds. (as it is has been for a couple of weeks for macOS) The background for this, is that we want to improve the vcl backends to support combined color+alpha surfaces. The existing Windows GDI backend, unfortunately, does not support alpha (at least, not to the extent that vcl needs it), and rewriting that backend to DirectX/Direct2D is a very large task. So, for now, we are going to leverage skia to provide the necessary support. Regards, Noel Grandin
