@@ -142,6 +142,7 @@ By @bradwerth [#6216](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/6216).
 ### Documentation
 
 - Removed some OpenGL and Vulkan references from `wgpu-types` documentation. Fixed Storage texel types in examples. By @Nelarius in [#6271](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/6271)
+- Used `wgpu::include_wgsl!(…)` more in examples and tests. By @ErichDonGubler in [#6326](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/6326).
