204+ ### [ wgpu] family re-union
205+
206+ ![ wgpu family reunion] ( wgpu-family-reunion.svg )
207+
208+ [ wgpu] is a [ WebGPU] implementation in Rust. It is safe, efficient,
209+ and portable: it can target both native and the Web.
210+
211+ [ Family reunion] is by far the biggest change in ` wgpu ` project since
212+ the inception. First, the Rust API of [ wgpu-rs] was moved to the main
213+ [ wgpu] repository. Second, the whole base was relicensed under MIT/Apache2.
214+
215+ [ gfx-hal] - the Vulkan Portability-like graphics API abstraction -
216+ was detached from the project. Instead ` wgpu ` got its own in-house unsafe
217+ abstraction called "wgpu-hal" developed within the [ wgpu] repository.
218+
219+ The team released [ wgpu-0.9] right before this transition, to give the new
220+ graphics infrastructure more time to take shape. At the time of writing,
221+ supported backends on the new HAL include Vulkan, Metal, and OpenGL ES3.
222+
223+ Finally, the testing infrastructure received a major upgrade. It started
224+ rendering the examples on the available adapters and compraring the results
225+ with reference images.
226+ This includes automatic testing using software adapters on CI.
