I'm on the final stretch of adding COLRv1 and SVG support to @sixlabors.com Fonts.
It's taken me a whole month of evenings to build out what I need.
Trust me when I say that this stuff requires a lot of thought and attention to detail to get right. 😵💫

How the hell do you import public and private keys into ECDsa on #dotnet framework?
There’s no import methods like ImportSubjectPublicKeyInfo or ImportPkcs8PrivateKey.
I’ve been looking at the runtime source and there is so much code in the implementation!

Having recently successfully battled #dotnet auth to get what I want (multiple auth schema) I've realized that it's not complexity that is the issue, it's discoverability.

This will likely be the last v3 release before I release v4.
Please encourage others to support the project by sharing the release and buying licenses — it directly funds development time and helps keep ImageSharp sustainable.

Yeah, I know I've alienated some folks with my license choices. But the code is still open, and it's damn good.
I just wish there was a community around it. It's lonely, and getting deep stuff like this SIMD PR reviewed is hard.

This is an interesting ImageSharp issue that I'm very happy to be making progress on. Basically, no image software other than Adobe Photoshop and soon to be ImageSharp V4 can open these TIFF files properly.

Using an ancient version of a library, hitting a fixed bug, and saying the license cost isn't worth it because it's just for "Excel layout heuristics" is exactly why open source maintainers burn out. If it ships, it matters. Pay for your dependencies.

I still dont quite understand the math of a company that posted $25.8B in last quarter's profit then cuts 3% of their workforce
maybe thats why I was never cut out for management

This is an incredibly exciting PR for ImageSharp.
Just shy of 8 years in the making this will allow V4 to convert between color spaces using ICC profiles.
Once merged I can build upon this technology to allow normalization on decode. Massive!
