- Crates:
wgpu-types
: common types between native and web targetswgpu-core
: internal API for the native and remote wrappers
- Features:
- based on gfx-hal-0.5
- moved from Rendy to the new
gfx-memory
andgfx-descriptor
crates - passes are now recorded on the client side. The user is also responsible to keep all resources referenced in the pass up until it ends recording.
- coordinate system is changed to have Y up in the rendering space
- revised GPU lifetime tracking of all resources
- revised usage tracking logic
- all IDs are now non-zero
- Mailbox present mode
- Validation:
- active pipeline
- Fixes:
- lots of small API changes to closely match upstream WebGPU
- true read-only storage bindings
- unmapping dropped buffers
- better error messages on misused swapchain frames
- improved swap chain error handling
- fixed render pass transitions
- fixed depth/stencil transitions
- fixed dynamic offset iteration
- Platforms: removed OpenGL/WebGL support temporarily
- Features:
- based on gfx-hal-0.4 with the new swapchain model
- exposing adapters from all available backends on a system
- tracking of samplers
- cube map support with an example
- Validation:
- buffer and texture usage
- fixed instance creation on Windows
- fixed pipeline barriers that aren't transitions
- Platforms: experimental OpenGL/WebGL
- Crates:
- Rust API is moved out to another repository
- Features:
- based on gfx-hal-0.3 with help of
rendy-memory
andrendy-descriptor
- type-system-assisted deadlock prevention (for locking internal structures)
- texture sub-resource tracking
raw-window-handle
integration instead ofwinit
- multisampling with an example
- indirect draws and dispatches
- stencil masks and reference values
- native "compute" example

- bing groups vs their expected layouts
- bind group buffer ranges
- required stencil reference, blend color
- fixed frame acquisition GPU waits
- fixed submission tracking
- added support for blend colors
- fixed bind group compatibility at the gfx-hal level
- validating the bind groups and blend colors
