gfx-rs has released wgpu-core and wgpu-hal version 28.0.1 today. This patch update primarily addresses several stability issues across different GPU platforms. For NVIDIA users, the release resolves a crash that occurred "when presenting from another thread." Android users benefit from a fix for crashes experienced "on some Mali drivers" when utilizing Vulkan. Additionally, the Metal backend now re-adds support for "TRANSIENT textures on Apple A7 chips," enhancing compatibility for older Apple hardware. This release aims to improve the overall robustness of wgpu across its supported graphics APIs and hardware.
