### [gfx-rs] and [gfx-portability]
70+
71+
![gfx-rs logo](gfx-logo.png)
72+
73+
[gfx-portability] is a Vulkan portability implementation based on [gfx-rs].
74+
It's basically a drop-in implementation of Vulkan on top of Metal and D3D12,
75+
useful on platforms that don't have native Vulkan support, or buggy drivers.
76+
77+
It released version [0.8.1](https://github.com/gfx-rs/portability/releases/tag/0.8.1)
78+
with official support for the new [KHR portability extension][khr-portability],
79+
as well as a few other extensions, plus a number of correctness fixes.
80+
81+
gfx-rs team asks Rust users of Vulkano, Ash, and other Vulkan-only wrappers to try
82+
out the gfx-portability as a solution on macOS and relevant Windows 10 platforms.
83+
84+
In [gfx-rs] itself, the DX12 backend, and the descriptor indexing feature support
85+
got improved. There has been a push to get DX11 backend in a solid shape,
86+
and it can now run [vange-rs] pretty well 🎉.
