New Features

• Enhacements to the shared FontLibrary object:
  • Added a reset() method to FontLibrary which uninstalls any fonts that had been dynamically installed via FontLibrary.use()
  • The use() method now checks for previously installed fonts with the same family name (or alias) and will replace them with the newly added font
• Added pre-compiled binaries for Alpine Linux on arm64

Bugfixes

• Calling clip with an empty path (or one that does not intersect the current clipping mask) will now prevent drawing altogether
• Transformation (translate, rotate, etc.) and line-drawing methods (moveTo, lineTo, ellipse, etc.) are now silently ignored if called with NaN, Infinity, or non-Number values in the arguments rather than throwing an error
  • applies to both the Context and Path2D versions of the drawing methods
  • a TypeError is thrown only if the number of arguments is too low (mirroring browser behavior)
• conicCurveTo() now correctly reflects the canvas's transform state
• The browser-based version of loadImage() now returns a Promise that correctly resolves to an Image object
• SVG exports no longer have an invisible, canvas-sized <rect/> as their first element
• Fixed an incompatibility on Alpine between the version of libstdc++ present on the node:alpine docker images and the version used when building the precompiled binaries

Misc. Improvements

• Upgraded Skia to milestone 101
