v0.12.5: WebGL2 fixes
The WebGL2 fallback works: uniforms get the padding the backend needs, readback stops hanging, and GPU validation errors reach the browser console.
v0.12.4: Resize and grain fixes
Resizing an offscreen TextureTarget keeps every pass and binding on the new texture, and the film grain catalog function renders per-pixel grain from normalized coordinates.
v0.12.3: wgpu 30
A maintenance release that moves the graphics stack to wgpu 30 and naga 30, a drop-in upgrade on every binding.
v0.12.2: Composable Scene
A scene owns one ordered list of render passes that you can read, append, remove, reorder, and replace, on every binding.
v0.12.1: Publishing fix
This patch gets v0.12.0 onto crates.io and fixes a lockfile mismatch and a timing race in the release pipeline.
v0.12.0: 3D scenes, glTF loading and PBR materials
The largest release so far adds a Scene graph, a glTF model loader, and physically based (PBR) materials.
v0.11.1: Embedded shader registry by default
Native builds embed the shader library. Network fetches move behind a Cargo feature, which unblocks the Linux PyPI wheels.
v0.11.0: all planned languages release
Swift and Kotlin via uniffi complete the planned set of languages. The release also unifies the texture API, adds shader composition + KTX2 loading, fixes a class of correctness bugs, and upgrades to wgpu 29.
v0.10.11: direct texture writes and external video on the web
Writing pixel data directly into textures, zero-copy HTML video textures on the web, and updated Python integration with RenderCanvas 2.0.
v0.10.10: long-lived WASM sessions
Stability improvements for long-running browser sessions where the WebAssembly memory may detach during the session.
v0.10.9: stable type identity through minified builds
Public types now carry stable string brands so identity checks survive Terser and similar bundler passes.
v0.10.8: non-blocking uniforms, structured errors, and a new gallery
Per-frame uniform updates from worker threads now run lock-free. Error variants get explicit shapes. The website ships a live shader gallery.
v0.10.7: feature parity across Rust, JavaScript, and Python
Textures, meshes, multi-pass, MSAA, and a build that fails locally if any binding is missing a method.
v0.10.6: JavaScript support
JavaScript support on npm, a lazily loaded renderer with a simpler API, and updated wgpu and dependencies.
v0.10.5: Python on Windows and Linux
FragmentColor now installs from PyPI on Windows, Linux, and macOS in a single command, with a fully automated wheel pipeline behind it.
v0.10.4: Python import fix
The PyPI package imports correctly, the Pass and Frame objects get fixes, and the public API gains its missing methods.
v0.10.3: Rust 2024 edition
The crate moves to the Rust 2024 edition, with small documentation fixes.
v0.10.2: Python support
A first Python implementation of FragmentColor, published to PyPI.
v0.10.1: Cleanup and bug fixes
A simpler internal shader representation, pooled uniform buffers, runtime errors in place of panics, and a render call that takes a renderable and a target.
v0.10.0: The Shader Object
The v0.10.0 release introduces the Shader-centered design, completes the rename from PLRender, and sets the shape of the API for what comes next.
