Skiasharp: When will the next build of SkiaSharp be made available?

Related to #840,

[corliss]

From Nuget's history of SkiaSharp builds, we see that updates to SkiaSharp have been getting less frequent, starting with one or two builds a month in 2016, to not a single build this year. Last year the frequency was about once every two or three months.

Skia is actively in development and there are several fixes that are urgently needed by users of SkiaSharp. Could we please get back to a more predictable cycle of SkiaSharp builds?

Thank you very much.

Waiting for some fixes for an active project. Thanks.

This issue was moved to "Needs Triage" 16 days ago.

Unfortunately, it seems there is very little triaging activity going on. There are 115 issues in "Needs Triage" but 0 issues in "In Progress". A total of 255 issues were fixed since the project began in early 2016. There were no checkins to the "master" branch in the past two months.

Given this backlog, could we please have a response? Making a project open source is only part of the story; a clear roadmap and timelines are equally important. Additionally, Xamarin enterprise customers depend on this component.

We have increased our rate of releases of previews as well as implemented a preview feed: https://aka.ms/skiasharp-eap/index.json

We are also working on all the new bits in a "v2" version of SkiaSharp which is currently available on the preview feed.
