New Features

• Added TypeScript definitions for extensions to the DOM spec (contributed by @cprecioso)
• Added 3D-perspective transformations via the new createProjection() context method
• Colors can now use the hwb() model

Breaking Changes

• The Canvas .async property has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • The saveAs, toBuffer, and toDataURL methods will now be async-only (likewise the shorthand properties).
  • Use their synchronous counterparts (saveAsSync, toBufferSync, and toDataURLSync) if you want to block execution while exporting images.
• The ImageData constructor now orders its arguments properly: the optional buffer/array argument now comes first

Bugfixes

• Fixed a stack overflow that was occurring when images became too deeply nested for the default deallocator to handle (primarily due to many thousands of image exports from the same canvas)
• The source-in, source-out, destination-atop, and copy composite operations now work correctly for paths rather than rendering shapes without color (contributed by @meihuanyu)
• Shape primitives now behave consistently with browsers when being added to a non-empty path:
  • rect() now issues an initial moveTo rather than extending the path, then leaves the ‘current’ point in its upper left corner
  • ellipse() extends the current path rather than implicitly closing it (contributed by @meihuanyu)
  • arc() also extends the current path rather than closing it

Misc. Improvements

• Upgraded Skia to milestone 96
• Added workflow for creating docker build environments
