## [Unreleased]

### Changed 🛠
- [PR#1085](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1085) updated toolchain to `nightly-2023-07-08`

## [0.9.0]

### Added ⭐
- [PR#1082](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1082) added partial
  support for extracting `format_args!` from `panic!`s, and converting them to
  `debugPrintf` calls (if enabled via `ShaderPanicStrategy`), including runtime
  arguments (`u32`/`i32`/`f32` with `Display`/`Debug` formatting, for now)
- [PR#1081](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1081) added the ability
  to access SPIR-V specialization constants (`OpSpecConstant`) via entry-point
  inputs declared as `#[spirv(spec_constant(id = ..., default = ...))] x: u32`  
  (see also [the `#[spirv(spec_constant)]` attribute documentation](docs/src/attributes.md#specialization-constants))
- [PR#1036](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1036) added a `--force-spirv-passthru` flag to `example-runner-wgpu`, to bypass Naga (`wgpu`'s shader translator),
  used it to test `debugPrintf` for `wgpu`,  and updated `ShaderPanicStrategy::DebugPrintfThenExit` docs to reflect what "enabling `debugPrintf`" looks like for `wgpu`  
  <sub><sup>(e.g. `VK_LOADER_LAYERS_ENABLE=VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation VK_LAYER_ENABLES=VK_VALIDATION_FEATURE_ENABLE_DEBUG_PRINTF_EXT DEBUG_PRINTF_TO_STDOUT=1`)</sup></sub>
- [PR#1080](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1080) added `debugPrintf`-based
  panic reporting, with the desired behavior selected via `spirv_builder::ShaderPanicStrategy`  
  (see its documentation for more details about each available panic handling strategy)

### Changed 🛠
- [PR#1083](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1083) updated SPIR-T to get pretty-printer
  improvements (especially for `OpExtInst`, including Rust-GPU's custom ones), and started more
  aggressively deduplicating custom debuginfo instructions (to make SPIR-T dumps more readable)
- [PR#1079](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1079) revised `spirv-builder`'s `README.md`,
  and added a way for `docs.rs` to be able to build it (via `cargo +stable doc --no-default-features`)
- [PR#1070](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1070) made panics (via the `abort` intrinsic)
  early-exit (i.e. `return` from) the shader entry-point, instead of looping infinitely
- [PR#1071](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1071) updated toolchain to `nightly-2023-05-27`

## [0.8.0]

### Added ⭐
- [PR#1064](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1064) added a Rust-GPU-private
  "extended instruction set" (to allow us to have custom `OpExtInst`s), with the
  initial custom `OpExtInst`s being used to improve debuginfo source locations
  (using ranges instead of just the starting position, and tracking inlined calls)

### Changed 🛠
- [PR#1067](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1067) updated toolchain to `nightly-2023-04-15`
- [PR#1038](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1038) relaxed `glam` version requirements (from only `0.22`, to `>=0.22, <=0.24`)

### Removed 🔥
- [PR#1052](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1052) removed `--no-spirt`,
  committing to SPIR-T as a mandatory part of the Rust-GPU compiler backend,
  to reduce the cost of maintenance, testing and further feature development  
  * Note: if you were using `--no-spirt` to work around [`naga` issue #1977](https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/issues/1977)  
    (valid loops causing `The 'break' is used outside of a 'loop' or 'switch' context`),  
    you may be able to `cargo update -p naga` to update to a fixed `naga` version  
    (`0.11.1` for `wgpu 0.15`, `0.12.1` for `wgpu 0.16`, and any later versions)

### Fixed 🩹
- [PR#1059](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1059) fixed the `inline` pass not copying `OpDecorate`s in the callee (which led to their loss).

## [0.7.0]

### Added ⭐
- [PR#1020](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1020) added SPIR-T `qptr`
  support in the form of `--spirt-passes=qptr`, a way to turn off "Storage Class inference",
  and reporting for SPIR-T diagnostics - to test `qptr` fully, you can use:  
  `RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS="--no-infer-storage-classes --spirt-passes=qptr"`  
  (see also [the SPIR-T `qptr` PR](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/spirt/pull/24) for more details about the `qptr` experiment)
- [PR#1039](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1039) added new experimental `sample_with` to `Image` API to set additional image operands
- [PR#1031](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1031) added `Components` generic parameter to `Image` type, allowing images to return lower dimensional vectors and even scalars from the sampling API

### Changed 🛠
- [PR#1040](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1040) refactored "zombie" (delayed error) reporting to use SPIR-V `OpSource`, be more helpful, and added `--no-early-report-zombies` to delay it even further  
  (see also [the `--no-early-report-zombies` codegen args docs](docs/src/codegen-args.md#--no-early-report-zombies))
- [PR#1035](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1035) reduced the number of CGUs ("codegen units") used by `spirv-builder` to just `1`
- [PR#1011](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1011) made `NonWritable` all read-only storage buffers (i.e. those typed `&T`, where `T` doesn't have interior mutability)
- [PR#1029](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1029) fixed `SampledImage::sample` `fn`s being unnecessarily marked as `unsafe`
- [PR#1005](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1005) updated toolchain to `nightly-2023-03-04`

### Fixed 🩹
- [PR#1041](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1041) fixed `Image::gather()` not always returning a `Vec4`.
- [PR#1025](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1025) fixed [#1024](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/issues/1024) by keeping checked arithmetic "zombie" `bool`s disjoint from normal `bool` (`false`) consts
- [PR#1023](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1023) fixed [#1021](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/issues/1021) by always inlining calls with "not obviously legal" pointer args (instead of only inlining calls with "obviously illegal" pointer args)
- [PR#1009](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1009) fixed [#1008](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/issues/1008) by reinstating mutability checks for entry-point parameters pointing into read-only storage classes (e.g. `#[spirv(uniform)] x: &mut u32` is now again an error)
- [PR#995](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/995) fixed [#994](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/issues/994) by using `OpAtomicFAddEXT` instead of `OpAtomicFMaxEXT` in `atomic_f_add`

## [0.6.1]

### Fixed 🩹
- [PR#1006](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/1006) fixed [#1002](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/issues/1002) by rewriting away all `spirv-std` uses of `asm!("OpReturnValue %result")` and disallowing `OpReturn`/`OpReturnValue` from inline `asm!` (as it's always UB to leave `asm!` blocks in any way other than falling through their end)

## [0.6.0]

### Added ⭐
- [PR#998](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/998) added `extra_arg()` SpirvBuilder API to be able to set codegen args otherwise not supported by the API (for example, to set `--spirv-passes`)

### Changed 🛠
- [PR#999](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/999) made the [`SPIR-🇹` shader IR framework](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/spirt) the default (you can opt out via `RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS=--no-spirt`)
- [PR#992](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/992) renamed `rust-toolchain` to `rust-toolchain.toml`
- [PR#991](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/991) updated toolchain to `nightly-2023-01-21`
- [PR#990](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/990) removed return type inference from `Image` API and made `glam` usage mandatory

## [0.5.0]

### Added ⭐
- [PR#988](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/988) added a couple of (highly experimental)
  `SPIR-🇹` optimization passes, and `--spirt-passes=...` codegen args as a way to enable them  
  (see also [the `--spirt-passes` codegen args docs](docs/src/codegen-args.md#--spirt-passes-PASSES))

### Changed 🛠️
- [PR#982](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/982) updated toolchain to `nightly-2022-12-18`
- [PR#953](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/953) migrated to the Rust 2021 edition, and fixed Rust 2021 support for shader crates to be on par with Rust 2018 (discrepancies having been limited to/caused by `panic!` changes in Rust 2021)

## [0.4.0]

### Added ⭐
- [PR#959](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/959) added two `spirv-builder` environment variables to customize *only* the `rustc` invocations for shader crates and their dependencies:
  - `RUSTGPU_RUSTFLAGS="..."` for shader `RUSTFLAGS="..."`
  - `RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS="..."` for shader "codegen args" (i.e. `RUSTFLAGS=-Cllvm-args="..."`)  
    (check out [the "codegen args" docs](docs/src/codegen-args.md), or run with `RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS=--help` to see the full list of options)
- [PR#940](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/940) integrated the experimental [`SPIR-🇹` shader IR framework](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/spirt) into the linker  
  (opt-in via `RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS=--spirt`, see also [the `--spirt` docs](docs/src/codegen-args.md#--spirt), for more details)

### Changed 🛠️
- [PR#958](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/958) updated toolchain to `nightly-2022-10-29`
- [PR#941](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/941) applied workspace inheritance to `Cargo.toml` files
- [PR#959](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/959) moved `rustc_codegen_spirv` debugging functionality from environment variables to "codegen args" options/flags (see [the updated docs](docs/src/codegen-args.md) for more details)
- [PR#967](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/967) made `--dump-*` ["codegen args"](docs/src/codegen-args.md) include identifying information (e.g. crate names) in the names of files they emit

### Removed 🔥
- [PR#946](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/946) removed the `fn`/closure `#[spirv(unroll_loops)]` attribute, as it has no users, is becoming non-trivial to support, and requires redesign for better ergonomics (e.g. `#[spirv(unroll)]` applied to individual loops, not the whole `fn`/closure)

## [0.4.0-alpha.17]

### Fixed 🩹
- [PR#937](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/937) fixed Rust-GPU crates not referring to each-other by exact version
- [PR#937](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/937) fixed `spirv-std` referring to an older version of `spirv-std-macros`

- [PR#928](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/928) updated `spirv-tools` to `0.9` (SPIRV-Tools `2022.4`)

### Removed 🔥
- [PR#934](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/934) Removed `glam::BVec` support (they are no longer `#[repl(simd)]` in `glam`, as Rust doesn't support SIMD vectors with `bool` elements)

### Fixed 🩹
- [PR#927](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/pull/927) re-taught Cargo to rebuild shader crates when `rustc_codegen_spirv` is rebuilt, via [`-Zbinary-dep-depinfo`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/93969) (broken since a toolchain update in `0.4.0-alpha.13`, and has been causing spurious build failures ever since)

## [0.4.0-alpha.15]
