The gfx-rs team has published a [gfx-post] providing the overview
7575
of all projects in the works, and how they are connected to each other.

[wgpu] has moved from [gfx-extras] to the new [gpu-alloc] and [gpu-descriptor]
78+
libraries by [@zakarumych]. These are backend-agnostic, which allows `wgpu`
79+
to now depend on `gfx-hal` directly without intermediates. Patching [gfx-rs]
80+
will now be easier, without the need to release every little change.
81+
82+
Finally, all the latest [wgpu] code has landed into Gecko, and new
83+
features and fixes are implemented in Firefox. That allows it to run
84+
most of the updated [WebGPU samples].
