For Go developers using gogpu, a Go GPU and windowing toolkit, this week’s activity is mostly about fewer bad fallbacks and calmer resize behavior.

➔ wgpu v0.30.4 - Metal Stencil State Fix
wgpu v0.30.4 was published on June 25, 2026, with a focused Metal backend fix for stencil behavior on macOS. The main change is that CreateRenderPipeline now translates StencilFront and StencilBack into MTLDepthStencilState, so stencil tests no longer stay silently inert on the Metal path.
