This document describes the changes in ChartDirector for .NET 7.1.2 compared to 7.1.1. For other versions of ChartDirector, please refer to the release notes archive.

• ChartDirector for .NET 7.1.2 has been updated to support both SkiaSharp 2 and SkiaSharp 3.
• ChartDirector uses the SkiaSharp graphics library distributed by Microsoft for projects that can support Linux. ChartDirector uses SkiaSharp 2.88.9 by default.
• Recently, SkiaSharp version 3 has become available. If a project uses both ChartDirector and SkiaSharp 3, Visual Studio will force ChartDirector to use SkiaSharp 3 too. It is because Visual Studio does not support using different versions of the same NuGet package in the same project. As SkiaSharp 3 is not backwards compatible with SkiaSharp 2, this causes ChartDirector to malfunction.
• ChartDirector for .NET 7.1.2 has been updated to be compatibile with both SkiaSharp 2 and 3, so it can be used in projects that requires SkiaSharp 3.

• No behaviour change is expected. Existing code should continue to work unmodified.
