[0.5.0]

Added ⭐

• PR#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)

Changed 🛠️

• PR#982 updated toolchain to nightly-2022-12-18
• PR#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 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, or run with RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS=--help to see the full list of options)
• PR#940 integrated the experimental SPIR-🇹 shader IR framework into the linker
  (opt-in via RUSTGPU_CODEGEN_ARGS=--spirt, see also the --spirt docs, for more details)

Changed 🛠️

• PR#958 updated toolchain to nightly-2022-10-29
• PR#941 applied workspace inheritance to Cargo.toml files
• PR#959 moved rustc_codegen_spirv debugging functionality from environment variables to "codegen args" options/flags (see the updated docs for more details)
• PR#967 made --dump-* "codegen args" include identifying information (e.g. crate names) in the names of files they emit

Removed 🔥

• PR#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 fixed Rust-GPU crates not referring to each-other by exact version
• PR#937 fixed spirv-std referring to an older version of spirv-std-macros

Fixed 🩹

• PR#927 re-taught Cargo to rebuild shader crates when rustc_codegen_spirv is rebuilt, via -Zbinary-dep-depinfo (broken since a toolchain update in 0.4.0-alpha.13, and has been causing spurious build failures ever since)
