Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

v0.5.0 (2023-04-28)

Changes

• wgpu has been updated to 0.16.0.

v0.4.0 (2023-01-27)

Changes

• wgpu has been updated to 0.15.0.

v0.3.0 (2022-10-22)

Changes (2022-7-31)

• wgpu has been updated to 0.14.0.
• winit has been updated to 0.27.4.

v0.2.0 (2022-2-2)

Changes

• wgpu has been updated to 0.13.1.
• lyon_tesselation has been updated to 1.0.1
• Renderer::read is no longer async and blocks the current thread when called. This is due to underlying changes with how wgpu's BufferSlice::map_async is no longer future-based. There was no way to keep this API async while still remaining runtime independence within easygpu, so the decision was made to make this a blocking call.

v0.1.0 (2021-12-6)

Changes

• wgpu has been updated to 0.12.

v0.0.15 (2021-12-6)

Changes

• BindingType::SampledTexture now specifies filterable as true. This caused issues when upgrading to wgpu 0.11.1.

v0.0.14 (2021-11-11)

Changes

• wgpu has been updated to 0.11. There are no public API changes for this update.

v0.0.13 (2021-10-22)

Breaking API Changes

• wgpu has been updated to 0.10. With it come these breaking API changes:

  • SwapChain has been removed. Change existing calls from create_swap_chain to configure.
  • Renderer has a new method, current_frame which returns a RenderFrame. This can be used in place of the former SwapChainTexture type.

• easygpu now uses figures for its math types, and ScreenScale and WorldScale now are type aliases for the unit types provided by that crate. If you're using functionality that was in euclid but is no longer available in figures, please submit an issue. We may not add all requested functionality, but as long as it extends one of the types figures already has, it likely will be added upon request.

  One of the truly breaking changes is ScreenTransformation::ortho(). The parameter order is now left, top, right, bottom, near, far. This order matches my personal preference of the order in which sides of a rectangle should be specified. Personal preference, but since it was getting reimplemented, I made this change.

• Basic MSAA support has been added. Multisampling textures seems like its own ball of wax. This is aimed at allowing rendering to use multisampling to produce antialiasing around geometry borders. The lyon examples have been updated to use 4 samples.

  • Renderer::for_surface, Renderer::offscreen, Device::create_texture, Device::create_framebuffer, Device::create_zbuffer now take sample_count as a parameter. Pass in 1 to disable MSAA rendering. Any higher number controls the number of samples taken.
  • Device::create_pipeline now accepts a MultisampleState parameter to control multisampling.
  • Renderer::texture now takes an additional argument to specify if the texture should be multisampled. If true, the texture will be created using the sample count the renderer was initialized with.
  • Frame::pass now accepts a multisample_buffer parameter. This is a texture view for a multisampled texture that will be used to enable MSAA rendering. If None is passed, MSAA will not take place.

• easygpu-lyon has now updated to lyon 0.17.

Changed

• easygpu-lyon is now maintained as part of this repository. The version numbers were already tightly linked. This changelog will now contain information relating to both.

v0.0.12

Changed

• Updated to wgpu 0.9. No API changes were necessary.

v0.0.11

Breaking API Changes

• Device::new() and Renderer::new() have been renamed to for_surface().
• Renderer::create_texture() and Device::create_texture() now require you to specify the TextureUsage. Previously, wgpu::TextureUsage::SAMPLED | wgpu::TextureUsage::COPY_DST was hard-coded.

Added

• Device::offscreen() and Renderer::offscreen() have been added to enable offscren rendering. Offscreen types will panic if used with any APIs that require an active wgpu surface, such as create_swap_chain().
