# Change Log

## v0.6 (2021-08-18)
  - development release for wgpu-0.10
  - API:
    - atomic types and functions
    - storage access is moved from global variables to the storage class and storage texture type
    - new built-ins: `primitive_index` and `num_workgroups`
    - support for multi-sampled depth images
  - WGSL:
    - `select()` order of true/false is swapped
  - HLSL backend is vastly improved and now usable
  - GLSL frontend is heavily reworked

## v0.5 (2021-06-18)
  - development release for wgpu-0.9
  - API:
    - barriers
    - dynamic indexing of matrices and arrays is only allowed on variables
    - validator now accepts a list of IR capabilities to allow
    - improved documentation
  - Infrastructure:
    - much richer test suite, focused around consuming or emitting WGSL
    - lazy testing on large shader corpuses
    - the binary is moved to a sub-crate "naga-cli"
  - Frontends:
    - GLSL frontend:
      - rewritten from scratch and effectively revived, no longer depends on `pomelo`
      - only supports 440/450/460 versions for now
      - has optional support for codespan messages
    - SPIRV frontend has improved CFG resolution (still with issues unresolved)
    - WGSL got better error messages, workgroup memory support
  - Backends:
    - general: better expression naming and emitting
    - new HLSL backend (in progress)
    - MSL:
      - support `ArraySize` expression
      - better texture sampling instructions
    - GLSL:
      - multisampling on GLES
    - WGSL is vastly improved and now usable

## v0.4 (2021-04-29)
  - development release for wgpu-0.8
  - API:
    - expressions are explicitly emitted with `Statement::Emit`
    - entry points have inputs in arguments and outputs in the result type
    - `input`/`output` storage classes are gone, but `push_constant` is added
    - `Interpolation` is moved into `Binding::Location` variant
    - real pointer semantics with required `Expression::Load`
    - `TypeInner::ValuePointer` is added
    - image query expressions are added
    - new `Statement::ImageStore`
    - all function calls are `Statement::Call`
    - `GlobalUse` is moved out into processing

    - entry points are an array instead of a map
    - new `Swizzle` and `Splat` expressions
    - interpolation qualifiers are extended and required
    - struct member layout is based on the byte offsets
  - Infrastructure:
    - control flow uniformity analysis
    - texture-sampler combination gathering
    - `CallGraph` processor is moved out into `glsl` backend
    - `Interface` is removed, instead the analysis produces `ModuleInfo` with all the derived info
