Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.5 Release Notes

This page contains release-note information for Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.5.0 (May 2025).

Major Features

We are pleased to announce Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET 25.5.0 — a May release that streamlines the rendering pipeline, unifies graphic-context handling across devices, simplifies SkiaSharp integration, and delivers measurable performance and memory gains.

Highlights

Feature	Benefit
Image → SVG conversion `converter.convert_image_to_svg(…)`	Vectorise raster images from a file path or stream, fully configurable through `ImageVectorizerConfiguration`.
Unified graphic-context model	Each rendering device (`ImageDevice`, `PdfDevice`, `XpsDevice`) now exposes an embedded `…GraphicContext` class that stores the complete drawing state in one object.
Rendering-API cleanup	Dozens of obsolete Canvas/Drawing/Adapter interfaces have been removed, resulting in a leaner public surface.

Enhancements & Fixes

Refactored graphics pipeline for faster SVG rendering and lower peak memory in complex documents.
Consolidated SkiaSharp support into the main package—no separate extension assembly is required.

Public API Changes

Added APIs

Namespace / Type	Member
`aspose.svg.converters.converter`	`convert_image_to_svg(config, input_path, output_path)` `convert_image_to_svg(config, stream, output_path)`
`aspose.svg.rendering.image.ImageDevice`	`class ImageGraphicContext`
`aspose.svg.rendering.pdf.PdfDevice`	`class PdfGraphicContext`
`aspose.svg.rendering.xps.XpsDevice`	`class XpsGraphicContext`

Modified APIs

aspose.svg.rendering.GraphicContext – event transformation_matrix_changed removed; state changes are now handled internally.
Existing device constructors are still valid, but code that used the removed low-level interfaces listed below must be migrated.

Removed APIs (Breaking)

Canvas layer – ICanvas, ICanvasContext, all ICanvas*Factory, IPath, clip_strategy, and related types.
Legacy drawing abstractions – color_space, ICodec, IBitmap, IPixelsMap, viewport, gradient-brush cloning helpers, obsolete overloads in IDrawingFactory, and ILinearGradientBrush.clone/convert_to_texture_brush.
Device-adapter hierarchy – DeviceAdapter, ISvgDeviceContext, and all *DeviceFactory interfaces.
Style & paint-server internals – ISvgPropertyResolvingContext, ISvgPaintServerFactory, ISvgPaintServer, plus related enums.
Typed-array helpers – TypedArray, TypedArray[T], Uint8ClampedArray.
Miscellaneous – SvgGeometryElement.get_equivalent_path_as_i_path, SvgUseElement.instance_root, Url.compare_to.
