## Library & Tooling Updates

### [gfx-rs][gfx-repo] and [gfx-portability][gfx-portability-repo]

gfx-portability is a Vulkan portability implementation based on gfx-rs.
It's basically a drop-in implementation of Vulkan on top of Metal and D3D12,
useful on platforms that don't have native Vulkan support, or buggy drivers.

It released version [0.8.1](https://github.com/gfx-rs/portability/releases/tag/0.8.1)
with official support for the new [KHR portability extension][khr-portabilty], as well
as a few other extensions, plus a number of correctness fixes.

gfx-rs team asks Rust users of Vulkano, Ash, and other Vulkan-only wrappers to try
out the gfx-portability as a solution on macOS and relevant Windows 10 platforms.

In gfx-rs itself, the DX12 backend, and the descriptor indexing feature support got improved.
There has been a push to get DX11 backend in a solid shape,
and it can now run [vange-rs][vange-repo] pretty well :tada:.
