Changelog¶

SlangPy uses a semantic versioning policy for its API.

Version 0.27.0 (May 9, 2025)¶

Package and distribute pytest tests. Fix deploying .pyi files in wheels + other minor fixes. (PR #196).
Introduce basic support for bindless textures and samplers. Currently only supported on D3D12. Add sgl::Feature::bindless (slangpy.Feature.bindless) to detect bindless support. Add sgl::DescriptorHandle (slangpy.DescriptorHandle) to represent bindless descriptor handles. Add sgl::Sampler::descriptor_handle() (slangpy.Sampler.descriptor_handle) to get the descriptor handle for a sampler. Add sgl::Texture::descriptor_handle_ro() (slangpy.Texture.descriptor_handle_ro) to get the read-only descriptor handle for a texture. Add sgl::Texture::descriptor_handle_rw() (slangpy.Texture.descriptor_handle_rw) to get the read-write descriptor handle for a texture. (PR #196).
Rename sgl::Struct to sgl::DataStruct to match slangpy.DataStruct. Rename sgl::StructConverter to sgl::DataStructConverter and slangpy.StructConverter to slangpy.DataStructConverter. (PR #185).
