- Brings Estragonia library up to Godot 4.5
- Godot now uses Metal as its rendering engine on MacOS, added support for this
- Add abstraction layer (IGodotSkiaGpu, ISurfaceSynchronizer, IGodotPlatformGraphics, IGodotSkiaSurface) to support multiple GPU backends - Implement Metal backend for macOS using native SkiaSharp Metal functions - Zero-copy rendering: Skia draws directly to Godot's Metal texture - Runtime backend detection: Metal on macOS, Vulkan on Windows/Linux - Refactor existing Vulkan code to implement new interfaces

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. The creator of Estragonia has mostly abandoned this project, judging by the timestamps, which is quite a shame considering how powerful it is. Avalonia and Godot pair well together and are a very underrated setup. I hope this project can be revived and supported for the latest versions, but Godot 4.5 is still pretty new. I tried to upgrade Estragonia manually yesterday, but to no avail; it kept throwing errors regarding the Vulkan driver returning null (I'm running a Windows system), so I gave up. I'll try this, and hopefully it'll work well. :) |

I have a fork I'll keep updated at https://github.com/sjennings/Estragonia - I'm using it in Godot 4.6 and it still works fine. The Mac OS migration to Metal for rendering was the big kicker. |
