This release is a detailed review on every open issue in the library, the reliability of the library should be drastically improved.

Now the library is compatible with SkiaSharp 3, also the Maui, Uno and WinUI views use SkiaSharp 3 by default.

There are still some issues that need attention before the first GA version.

Breaking Changes

There are no breaking changes, but this release removes most of the code that was marked as [Obsolete] in previous versions, so before updating to this version, ensure that there is no an Obsolete warning in the compiler log, here is a list of the most common features in the library that were removed in older versions:

• When using Mappers, instead of using point.PrimaryValue, now use point.Coordinate.PrimaryValue
• The AsLiveChartsPieSeries() extension changed to AsPieSeries()
• On Maui, please update the MauiProgram.cs file, change .UseSkiaSharp(true) to .UseSkiaSharp()

All the documentation on the website is updated, all obsoletes should be removed fro docs now, to get a full list please see the changes on #1625.

Highlights

• The library is now compatible with SkiaSharp 3
• Themes were updated in #1662, now they render legends, tooltips, titles and angular gauges properly.

• Toggling series visibility was buggy, especially when using observable collections, this is now fixed with #1656, and visuals are now disposed properly from the UI.
• Docs were simplified, now we abuse of collection expressions to reduce boilerplate code, the code style in the samples is now consistent across the site.
• We can now control the number of labels/separatos using the Axis.LabelsDensity property

• Using Svg paths as labels:
