.NET 7+ only for windows platform ? (skiasharp rendering)
cyberdarius opened this issue · comments
Dear team,
Reading this:
#554
#445
I understand that FastReport Opensource will hopefully receive (linux, osx) skiasharp rendering sometimes in the future (commercial product already has)
But reading this:
#563
#484
I understand that from .NET7+ FastReport Opensource will only support windows platform cause it will never receive skiasharp rendering.
Please write CLEAR this new issue/policy on readme page, because in our case FastReport Opensource will became a big "demo" repo for the commercial product. For some, it can be a blocking issue in adoption of fastreport not being able to support linux/linux containters other than using the commercial product.
Thank for your works.
Indeed, this question is also bothering me;
I used the OpenSource version, but I had quite a few problems exporting PDF;
Switch to FastReport .NET Trail version，There were also some issues running inside Docker;
This seems to be because System.Drawing no longer supports the Linux platform
It is a huge catastrophe, we used the FastReport.Opensource everywhere in our community applications that are running on Linux servers then suddenly It stopped working.
I tried the commercial version and it is also not working properly, especially with the Arabic fonts over Linux
Hello!
FastReport.Opensource does not support development for macOS. System.Drawing.Common, starting with version 7.0, will completely stop supporting non-Windows systems, so the examples of libgdiplus given above will soon not work at all.
Only the commercial version of FastReport.Core.Skia has support.
See here:

Also expect the demo Nuget packages FastReport.Core.Skia and FastReport.Web.Skia to be released for testing with the demo FastReport .Net packages.
Best regards,
Bogdan
