An abstract base class (Device::Context) is used to avoid adding dependencies to Device, with ContextEGL derived from it. This also leaves open the possibility of supporting other native GL contexts in the future (e.g., glX). One temporary EGLContext is created by opengl::Backend during Adapter discovery, then one is created for and owned by each Device. Contexts for the desktop GL backend are also managed via EGL, which works for most modern drivers. This also means that GLFW is now always used in GLFW_NO_API mode. Since contexts are now per-device, all of the default GL state setting and debug output setup was moved from Adapter to Device.

Dawn, a WebGPU implementation
Dawn is an open-source and cross-platform implementation of the work-in-progress WebGPU standard.
More precisely it implements webgpu.h that is a one-to-one mapping with the WebGPU IDL.
Dawn is meant to be integrated as part of a larger system and is the underlying implementation of WebGPU in Chromium.
Dawn provides several WebGPU building blocks:
- WebGPU C/C++ headers that applications and other building blocks use.
- The
webgpu.hversion that Dawn implements. - A C++ wrapper for the
webgpu.h.
- The
- A "native" implementation of WebGPU using platforms' GPU APIs:
- D3D12 on Windows 10
- Metal on macOS and iOS
- Vulkan on Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and Fuchsia
- OpenGL as best effort where available
- A client-server implementation of WebGPU for applications that are in a sandbox without access to native drivers
- Tint is a compiler for the WebGPU Shader Language (WGSL).
