All of wgpu's public dependencies are now re-exported at the top level so that users don't need to take their own dependencies. This includes:
- wgpu-core
- wgpu-hal
- naga
- raw_window_handle
- web_sys
Enabling webgl no longer removes the webgpu backend.
Instead, there's a new (default enabled) webgpu feature that allows to explicitly opt-out of webgpu if so desired.
If both webgl & webgpu are enabled, wgpu::Instance decides upon creation whether to target wgpu-core/WebGL or WebGPU.
This means that adapter selection is not handled as with regular adapters, but still allows to decide at runtime whether
webgpu or the webgl backend should be used using a single wasm binary.
By @wumpf in #5044
The naga-ir feature has been added to allow you to add naga module shaders without guessing about what other features needed to be enabled to get access to it.
By @cwfitzgerald in #5063.
This feature allowed you to call global_id on any wgpu opaque handle to get a unique hashable identity for the given resource. This is now available without the feature flag.
By @cwfitzgerald in #4841.
wgpu now exposes backend feature for the Direct3D 12 (dx12) and Metal (metal) backend. These are enabled by default, but don't do anything when not targeting the corresponding OS.
By @daxpedda in #4815.
This backend had no functionality, and with the recent support for GL on Desktop, which allows wgpu to run on older devices, there was no need to keep this backend. By @valaphee in #4828.
This adds a way to allow a Vulkan driver which is non-compliant per VK_KHR_driver_properties to be enumerated. This is intended for testing new Vulkan drivers which are not Vulkan compliant yet.
By @i509VCB in #4754.
Previously, DeviceExt::create_texture_with_data only allowed data to be provided in layer major order. There is now a order parameter which allows you to specify if the data is in layer major or mip major order.
let tex = ctx.device.create_texture_with_data(
&queue,
&descriptor,
+ wgpu::util::TextureDataOrder::LayerMajor,
src_data,
);By @cwfitzgerald in #4780.
It is now possible to safely create a wgpu::Surface with wgpu::Instance::create_surface() by letting wgpu::Surface hold a lifetime to window.
Passing an owned value window to Surface will return a wgpu::Surface<'static>.
All possible safe variants (owned windows and web canvases) are grouped using wgpu::SurfaceTarget.
Conversion to wgpu::SurfaceTarget is automatic for any type implementing raw-window-handle's HasWindowHandle & HasDisplayHandle traits, i.e. most window types.
For web canvas types this has to be done explicitly:
let surface: wgpu::Surface<'static> = instance.create_surface(wgpu::SurfaceTarget::Canvas(my_canvas))?;All unsafe variants are now grouped under wgpu::Instance::create_surface_unsafe which takes the
wgpu::SurfaceTargetUnsafe enum and always returns wgpu::Surface<'static>.
In order to create a wgpu::Surface<'static> without passing ownership of the window use
wgpu::SurfaceTargetUnsafe::from_window:
let surface = unsafe {
instance.create_surface_unsafe(wgpu::SurfaceTargetUnsafe::from_window(&my_window))?
};The easiest way to make this code safe is to use shared ownership:
let window: Arc<winit::Window>;
// ...
let surface = instance.create_surface(my_window.clone())?;All platform specific surface creation using points have moved into SurfaceTargetUnsafe as well.
For example:
Safety by @daxpedda in #4597 Unification by @wumpf in #4984
Abstract types make numeric literals easier to use, by automatically converting literals and other constant expressions from abstract numeric types to concrete types when safe and necessary. For example, to build a vector of floating-point numbers, Naga previously made you write:
vec3<f32>(1.0, 2.0, 3.0)With this change, you can now simply write:
vec3<f32>(1, 2, 3)Even though the literals are abstract integers, Naga recognizes
that it is safe and necessary to convert them to f32 values in
order to build the vector. You can also use abstract values as
initializers for global constants and global and local variables,
like this:
var unit_x: vec2<f32> = vec2(1, 0);The literals 1 and 0 are abstract integers, and the expression
vec2(1, 0) is an abstract vector. However, Naga recognizes that
it can convert that to the concrete type vec2<f32> to satisfy
the given type of unit_x.
The WGSL specification permits abstract integers and
floating-point values in almost all contexts, but Naga's support
for this is still incomplete. Many WGSL operators and builtin
functions are specified to produce abstract results when applied
to abstract inputs, but for now Naga simply concretizes them all
before applying the operation. We will expand Naga's abstract type
support in subsequent pull requests.
As part of this work, the public types naga::ScalarKind and
naga::Literal now have new variants, AbstractInt and AbstractFloat.
By @jimblandy in #4743, #4755.
This allows us to support WebGPU and WebGL in the same binary.
- let adapters: Vec<Adapter> = instance.enumerate_adapters(wgpu::Backends::all()).collect();
+ let adapters: Vec<Adapter> = instance.enumerate_adapters(wgpu::Backends::all());By @wumpf in #5044
This is a forward looking change, as we plan to add more information to the MaintainResult in the future.
This enum has the same data as the boolean, but with some useful helper functions.

By setting it to 1 you can reduce latency under the risk of making GPU & CPU work sequential. Currently, on DX12 this affects theMaximumFrameLatency, on all other backends except OpenGL the size of the swapchain (on OpenGL this has no effect). By @emilk & @wumpf in #4899

We now support OpenGL on Windows! This brings support for a vast majority of the hardware that used to be covered by our DX11 backend. As of this writing we support OpenGL 3.3+, though there are efforts to reduce that further.
This allows us to cover the last 12 years of Intel GPUs (starting with Ivy Bridge; aka 3xxx), and the last 16 years of AMD (starting with Terascale; aka HD 2000) / NVidia GPUs (starting with Tesla; aka GeForce 8xxx).

Timestamp queries are now supported on both Metal and Desktop OpenGL. On Apple chips on Metal, they only support timestamp queries in command buffers or in the renderpass descriptor, they do not support them inside a pass.
Metal: By @Wumpf in #4008 OpenGL: By @Zoxc in #4267
Addition of the TimestampWrites type to compute and render pass descriptors to allow profiling on tilers which do not support timestamps inside passes.
Added an example to demonstrate the various kinds of timestamps.
Additionally, metal now supports timestamp queries!
By @FL33TW00D & @wumpf in #3636.
We now support binary occlusion queries! This allows you to determine if any of the draw calls within the query drew any pixels.
Use the new occlusion_query_set field on RenderPassDescriptor to give a query set that occlusion queries will write to.
let mut rpass = encoder.begin_render_pass(&wgpu::RenderPassDescriptor {
// ...
+ occlusion_query_set: Some(&my_occlusion_query_set),
});Within the renderpass do the following to write the occlusion query results to the query set at the given index:
rpass.begin_occlusion_query(index);
rpass.draw(...);
rpass.draw(...);
rpass.end_occlusion_query();These are binary occlusion queries, so the result will be either 0 or an unspecified non-zero value.

The instance descriptor grew two more fields: flags and gles_minor_version.
flags allow you to toggle the underlying api validation layers, debug information about shaders and objects in capture programs, and the ability to discard lables
gles_minor_version is a rather niche feature that allows you to force the GLES backend to use a specific minor version, this is useful to get ANGLE to enable more than GLES 3.0.
let instance = wgpu::Instance::new(InstanceDescriptor {

- Added the following examples: By @JustAnotherCodemonkey in #3885.
Our testing harness was completely revamped and now automatically runs against all gpus in the system, shows the expected status of every test, and is tolerant to flakes.
Additionally, we have filled out our CI to now run the latest versions of WARP and Mesa. This means we can test even more features on CI than before.

This is the first release that featured wgpu-info as a binary crate for getting information about what devices wgpu sees in your system. It can dump the information in both human readable format and json.
This release was fairly minor as breaking changes go.
Up until this point, wgpu has made the assumption that threads do not exist on wasm. With the rise of libraries like wasm_thread making it easier and easier to do wasm multithreading this assumption is no longer sound. As all wgpu objects contain references into the JS heap, they cannot leave the thread they started on.
As we understand that this change might be very inconvenient for users who don't care about wasm threading, there is a crate feature which re-enables the old behavior: fragile-send-sync-non-atomic-wasm. So long as you don't compile your code with -Ctarget-feature=+atomics, Send and Sync will be implemented again on wgpu types on wasm. As the name implies, especially for libraries, this is very fragile, as you don't know if a user will want to compile with atomics (and therefore threads) or not.
By @daxpedda in #3691
The power_preference field of RequestAdapterOptions is now optional. If it is PowerPreference::None, we will choose the first available adapter, preferring GPU adapters over CPU adapters.
By @Aaron1011 in #3903
Removed the backend_bits parameter from initialize_adapter_from_env and initialize_adapter_from_env_or_default. If you want to limit the backends used by this function, only enable the wanted backends in the instance.
Added a compatible surface parameter, to ensure the given device is able to be presented onto the given surface.

All top level constants are now declared with const, catching up with the wgsl spec.
let is no longer allowed at the global scope, only within functions.
-let SOME_CONSTANT = 12.0;
+const SOME_CONSTANT = 12.0;See https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v011-2023-01-25 for smaller shader improvements.
The various surface capability functions were combined into a single call that gives you all the capabilities.
- let formats = surface.get_supported_formats(&adapter);
- let present_modes = surface.get_supported_present_modes(&adapter);
- let alpha_modes = surface.get_supported_alpha_modes(&adapter);
+ let caps = surface.get_capabilities(&adapter);
+ let formats = caps.formats;
+ let present_modes = caps.present_modes;
+ let alpha_modes = caps.alpha_modes;Additionally Surface::get_default_config now returns an Option and returns None if the surface isn't supported by the adapter.
- let config = surface.get_default_config(&adapter);
+ let config = surface.get_default_config(&adapter).expect("Surface unsupported by adapter");Instance::create_surface() now returns Result<Surface, CreateSurfaceError> instead of Surface. This allows an error to be returned if the given window is a HTML canvas and obtaining a WebGPU or WebGL 2 context fails. (No other platforms currently report any errors through this path.) By @kpreid in #3052
A new api, Queue::copy_external_image_to_texture, allows you to create wgpu textures from various web image primitives. Specificically from HtmlVideoElement, HtmlCanvasElement, OffscreenCanvas, and ImageBitmap. This provides multiple low-copy ways of interacting with the browser. WebGL is also supported, though WebGL has some additional restrictions, represented by the UNRESTRICTED_EXTERNAL_IMAGE_COPIES downlevel flag. By @cwfitzgerald in #3288
Instance::new() and hub::Global::new() now take an InstanceDescriptor struct which cointains both the existing Backends selection as well as a new Dx12Compiler field for selecting which Dx12 shader compiler to use.
- let instance = Instance::new(wgpu::Backends::all());
+ let instance = Instance::new(wgpu::InstanceDescriptor {
+ backends: wgpu::Backends::all(),
+ dx12_shader_compiler: wgpu::Dx12Compiler::Fxc,
+ });Instance now also also implements Default, which uses wgpu::Backends::all() and wgpu::Dx12Compiler::Fxc for InstanceDescriptor
- let instance = Instance::new(wgpu::InstanceDescriptor {
- backends: wgpu::Backends::all(),
- dx12_shader_compiler: wgpu::Dx12Compiler::Fxc,
- });
+ let instance = Instance::default();By @Elabajaba in #3356
The new view_formats field in the TextureDescriptor is used to specify a list of formats the texture can be re-interpreted to in a texture view. Currently only changing srgb-ness is allowed (ex. Rgba8Unorm <=> Rgba8UnormSrgb).
let texture = device.create_texture(&wgpu::TextureDescriptor {
// ...
format: TextureFormat::Rgba8UnormSrgb,
+ view_formats: &[TextureFormat::Rgba8Unorm],
});let config = wgpu::SurfaceConfiguration {
// ...
format: TextureFormat::Rgba8Unorm,
+ view_formats: vec![wgpu::TextureFormat::Rgba8UnormSrgb],
};
surface.configure(&device, &config);Via the TEXTURE_ADAPTER_SPECIFIC_FORMAT_FEATURES feature, MSAA x2 and x8 are now supported on textures. To query for x2 or x8 support, enable the feature and look at the texture format flags for the texture format of your choice.
By @39ali in 3140
You can now choose to use the DXC compiler for DX12 instead of FXC. The DXC compiler is faster, less buggy, and allows for new features compared to the old, unmaintained FXC compiler.
You can choose which compiler to use at Instance creation using the dx12_shader_compiler field in the InstanceDescriptor struct. Note that DXC requires both dxcompiler.dll and dxil.dll, which can be downloaded from https://github.com/microsoft/DirectXShaderCompiler/releases. Both .dlls need to be shipped with your application when targeting DX12 and using the DXC compiler. If the .dlls can't be loaded, then it will fall back to the FXC compiler. By @39ali and @Elabajaba in #3356
The DX12 backend can now suballocate buffers and textures from larger chunks of memory, which can give a significant increase in performance (in testing a 100x improvement has been seen in a simple scene with 200 write_buffer calls per frame, and a 1.4x improvement in Bistro using Bevy).
Previously wgpu-hal's DX12 backend created a new heap on the GPU every time you called write_buffer (by calling CreateCommittedResource), whereas now it uses gpu_allocator to manage GPU memory (and calls CreatePlacedResource with a suballocated heap). By @Elabajaba in #3163
Whereas wgpu-core used to automatically select backends to enable
based on the target OS and architecture, it now has separate features
to enable each backend:
- "metal", for the Metal API on macOS and iOS
- "vulkan", for the Vulkan API (Linux, some Android, and occasionally Windows)
- "dx12", for Microsoft's Direct3D 12 API
- "gles", OpenGL ES, available on many systems
- "dx11", for Microsoft's Direct3D 11 API
None are enabled by default, but the wgpu crate automatically
selects these features based on the target operating system and
architecture, using the same rules that wgpu-core used to, so users
of wgpu should be unaffected by this change. However, other crates
using wgpu-core directly will need to copy wgpu's logic or write
their own. See the [target] section of wgpu/Cargo.toml for
details.
Similarly, wgpu-core now has emscripten and renderdoc features
that wgpu enables on appropriate platforms.
In previous releases, the wgpu-core crate decided which backends to
support. However, this left wgpu-core's users with no way to
override those choices. (Firefox doesn't want the GLES back end, for
example.) There doesn't seem to be any way to have a crate select
backends based on target OS and architecture that users of that crate
can still override. Default features can't be selected based on the
target, for example. That implies that we should do the selection as
late in the dependency DAG as feasible. Having wgpu (and
wgpu-core's other dependents) choose backends seems like the best
option.

When using CompareFunction::Equal or CompareFunction::NotEqual on a pipeline, there is now a warning logged if the vertex shader does not have a @invariant tag on it. On some machines, rendering the same triangles multiple times without an @invariant tag will result in slightly different depths for every pixel. Because the *Equal functions rely on depth being the same every time it is rendered, we now warn if it is missing.

the alpha channel of framebuffer is respected in the compositing process, but which mode is available depends on
the different API and Device. If don't care about alpha_mode, you can set it to Auto.

WGSL syntax has changed in a couple ways. The new syntax is easier to read and work with.
Attribute declarations are written differently:
- [[group(1), binding(0)]]
+ @group(1) @binding(0)Stage declarations are now separate attributes rather than part of the stage attribute:
- [[stage(vertex)]]
+ @vertexStructs now use , as field separator and no longer need semicolons after the declaration:
- struct MyStruct {
- my_member: u32;
- };
+ struct MyStruct {
+ my_member: u32,
+ }The method of getting the preferred swapchain format has changed to allow viewing all formats supported by the surface.
- let format = surface.get_preferred_format(&adapter).unwrap();
+ let format = surface.get_supported_formats(&adapter)[0];Presentation modes now need to match exactly what the surface supports. FIFO is always supported,
but all other modes vary from API to API and Device to Device. To get a list of all supported modes,
call the following. The order does not indicate preference.
let modes = surface.get_supported_present_modes(&adapter);Timestamp queries are now restricted behind multiple features to allow implementation on TBDR (Tile-Based Deferred Rendering) based GPUs, such as mobile devices and Apple's M chips.
Features::TIMESTAMP_QUERIES now allows for calling write_timestamp only on CommandEncoders.
Features::WRITE_TIMESTAMP_INSIDE_PASSES is needed to call write_timestamp on RenderPassEncoders or ComputePassEncoders.
The function for mapping buffers no longer returns a future, and instead calls a callback when the buffer is mapped.
This aligns with the use of the API more clearly - you aren't supposed to block and wait on the future to resolve, you are supposed to keep rendering and wait until the buffer maps on its own. Mapping and the flow of mapping is an under-documented area that we hope to improve in the future.
- let future = buffer.slice(..).map_async(MapMode::Read);
+ buffer.slice(..).map_async(MapMode::Read, || {
+ // Called when buffer is mapped.
+ })Calling queue.submit now returns an opaque submission index that can be used as an argument to
device.poll to say which submission to wait to complete.
Device::create_shader_module now takes the shader descriptor by value:
- device.create_shader_module(&shader_module_descriptor)
+ device.create_shader_module(shader_module_descriptor)Color attachments can be sparse, so they are now optional:
FragmentState {
- targets: &[color_target_state]
+ targets: &[Some(color_target_state)]
// ..
}RenderPassDescriptor {
- color_attachments: &[render_pass_color_attachment]
+ color_attachments: &[Some(render_pass_color_attachment)]
// ..
}RenderBundleEncoderDescriptor {
- color_formats: &[texture_format]
+ color_formats: &[Some(texture_format)]
// ..
}Extent3d::max_mips now requires you to pass a TextureDimension to specify whether or not depth_or_array_layers should be ignored:
Extent3d {
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
depth_or_array_layers: 6,
- }.max_mips()
+ }.max_mips(wgpu::TextureDimension::D3)Limits has a new field, max_buffer_size (not an issue if you don't define limits manually):
Limits {
// ...
+ max_buffer_size: 256 * 1024 * 1024, // adjust as you see fit
}Features::CLEAR_COMMANDS is now unnecessary and no longer exists. The feature to clear buffers and textures is now part of upstream WebGPU.
DeviceDescriptor {
// ...
