 #### General
 
 - Added mesh shader support to `wgpu`, with examples. Requires passthrough. By @SupaMaggie70Incorporated in [#7345](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/7345).
-
 - Added support for external textures based on WebGPU's [`GPUExternalTexture`](https://www.w3.org/TR/webgpu/#gpuexternaltexture). These allow shaders to transparently operate on potentially multiplanar source texture data in either RGB or YCbCr formats via WGSL's `texture_external` type. This is gated behind the `Features::EXTERNAL_TEXTURE` feature, which is currently only supported on DX12. By @jamienicol in [#4386](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/4386).
 - `wgpu::Device::poll` can now specify a timeout via `wgpu::PollType::Wait`. By @wumpf in [#8282](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/8282) & [#8285](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/8285)
