Rust-GPU v0.10.0 Adds KHR_cooperative_matrix, New cargo generate Command

Rust-GPU v0.10.0 was released, updating its toolchain to nightly-2026-07-03 (rustc 1.98.0). This release introduces support for the VK_KHR_cooperative_matrix Vulkan extension, enabling efficient matrix operations crucial for high-performance compute workloads such as AI and machine learning. Developers also gain a new cargo gpu generate command, designed to streamline project setup by generating a workspace with a rust-gpu configuration. Additional improvements include support for ScalarPairs like (u32, u32) as function arguments and entry points, and expanded type support for u128. This update advances the project's goal of enabling Rust for GPU shaders and compute kernels, enhancing its utility for compute-intensive applications.
