Regina, Stephan, Olivier, Eike, Xisco, Thorsten, Miklos, Tomaz, Khaled,
Justin, Stephane
...
* Change Skia/Raster to enabled by default (Roman)
+ see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/154322
+ I think we should only make any such change on the release branch
(Noel)
+ it would be disappointing to degrade the skia support in LO (Hossein)
+ but if nobody steps up to do the GPU-specific work...
+ interested in svg-in-toolbars using skia (Hossein)
+ the SVG icons are rasterized to PNGs on the fly (Ilmari)
+ we have some kind of graphic tests that we could use to startup
to detect if Skia can be safely turned on with Vulkan, but it needs some
work (Tomaz)
+ plan to progress with this, but low-priority
+ but could be a solution long-term
+ toolbar icons: all svgs are turned into png, exactly to help
performance
+ our svg import doesn't handle our small icons currently
+ something to fix sooner or later
+ if using Skia for SVG, then it has to be built everywhere,
currently it's OK to disable it at build-time
+ the Debian maintainer is rather unimpressed by Skia (Michael S)
+ Current implementation is 10 times slower compared to Skia
(Hossein)
+ hope to have tenders to move this forward
+ svg icons was already a motivation for tendering (Tomaz)
+ would also improve svg import
