# Change Log
## v0.10 (2021-08-18)
- Infrastructure:
- `gfx-hal` is replaced by the in-house graphics abstraction `wgpu-hal`. Backends: Vulkan, Metal, D3D-12, and OpenGL ES-3.
- examples are tested automatically for image snapshots.
- API:
- `cross` feature is removed entirely. Only Rust code from now on.
- processing SPIR-V inputs for later translation now requires `spirv` compile feature enabled
- new `Features::SPIRV_SHADER_PASSTHROUGH` run-time feature allows providing pass-through SPIR-V (orthogonal to the compile feature)
- several bitflag names are renamed to plural: `TextureUsage`, `BufferUsage`, `ColorWrite`.
- the `SwapChain` is merged into `Surface`. Returned frames are `Texture` instead of `TextureView`.
- renamed `TextureUsage` bits: `SAMPLED` -> `TEXTURE_BINDING`, `STORAGE` -> `STORAGE_BINDING`.
- renamed `InputStepMode` to `VertexStepMode`.
- readable storage textures are no longer a part of the base API. Only exposed via format-specific features, non-portably.
- implemented `Rgb9e5Ufloat` format.
- added limits for binding sizes, vertex data, per-stage bindings, and others.
- reworked downlevel flags, added downlevel limits.
- `resolver = "2"` is now required in top-level cargo manifests
- Fixed:
- `Device::create_query_set` would return an error when creating exactly `QUERY_SET_MAX_QUERIES` (8192) queries. Now it only returns an error when trying to create *more* than `QUERY_SET_MAX_QUERIES` queries.
## wgpu-core-0.9.2
- fix `Features::TEXTURE_SPECIFIC_FORMAT_FEATURES` not being supported for rendertargets
## wgpu-core-0.9.1 (2021-07-13)
- fix buffer inits delayed by a frame
- fix query resolves to initialize buffers
- fix pipeline statistics stride
- fix the check for maximum query count
## v0.9 (2021-06-18)
- Updated:
- naga to `v0.5`.
- Added:
- `Features::VERTEX_WRITABLE_STORAGE`.
- `Features::CLEAR_COMMANDS` which allows you to use `cmd_buf.clear_texture` and `cmd_buf.clear_buffer`.
- Changed:
- Updated default storage buffer/image limit to `8` from `4`.
- Fixed:
- `Buffer::get_mapped_range` can now have a range of zero.
- Fixed output spirv requiring the "kernal" capability.
- Fixed segfault due to improper drop order.
- Fixed incorrect dynamic stencil reference for Replace ops.
- Fixed tracking of temporary resources.
- Stopped unconditionally adding cubemap flags when the backend doesn't support cubemaps.
- Validation:
- Ensure that if resources are viewed from the vertex stage, they are read only unless `Features::VERTEX_WRITABLE_STORAGE` is true.
- Ensure storage class (i.e. storage vs uniform) is consistent between the shader and the pipeline layout.
- Error when a color texture is used as a depth/stencil texture.
- Check that pipeline output formats are logical
- Added shader label to log messages if validation fails.
- Tracing:
- Make renderpasses show up in the trace before they are run.
- Docs:
- Fix typo in `PowerPreference::LowPower` description.
- Player:
- Automatically start and stop RenderDoc captures.
- Examples:
- Handle winit's unconditional exception.
- Internal:
- Merged wgpu-rs and wgpu back into a single repository.
- The tracker was split into two different stateful/stateless trackers to reduce overhead.
- Added code coverage testing
- CI can now test on lavapipe
- Add missing extern "C" in wgpu-core on `wgpu_render_pass_execute_bundles`
- Fix incorrect function name `wgpu_render_pass_bundle_indexed_indirect` to `wgpu_render_bundle_draw_indexed_indirect`.
