Sourced from wgpu's releases.

v0.19.3

This release includes wgpu, wgpu-core, and wgpu-hal. All other crates are unchanged.

Major Changes

Vendored WebGPU Bindings from web_sys

--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis is no longer needed in your RUSTFLAGS to compile for WebGPU!!!

While WebGPU's javascript api is stable in the browsers, the web_sys bindings for WebGPU are still improving. As such they are hidden behind the special cfg --cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis and are not available by default. Everyone who wanted to use our WebGPU backend needed to enable this cfg in their RUSTFLAGS. This was very inconvenient and made it hard to use WebGPU, especially when WebGPU is enabled by default. Additionally, the unstable APIs don't adhere to semver, so there were repeated breakages.

To combat this problem we have decided to vendor the web_sys bindings for WebGPU within the crate. Notably we are not forking the bindings, merely vendoring, so any improvements we make to the bindings will be contributed directly to upstream web_sys.

By @​cwfitzgerald in #5325.
