Fork created with updated VMA version and most pending PRs merged #64

Closed Neo-Zhixing closed 9 months ago

Neo-Zhixing commented 1 year ago

The vk-mem-rs project has been experiencing a lack of maintenance activity. Last year, #62 was merged without reviews which broke the tests and caused build failures. The original author @gwihlidal seems to have been busy and did not respond to my emails. So to address this issue and ensure the project remains active and useful, a new fork of vk-mem-rs has been created under the dust-engine organization. The new fork has up-to-date dependencies and has merged #63 which fixed the build failure alongside other improvements. The purpose of this fork is to provide an actively maintained version of vk-mem-rs that incorporates the latest community contributions and resolves any outstanding issues.

We invite the community to join us in the new fork of vk-mem-rs. Your contributions, feedback, and assistance in reviewing and merging PRs will be greatly appreciated.

There is also gpu-allocator which implements the allocation algorithms and business logic for Vulkan and DirectX12 directly in Rust :grinning:

Neo-Zhixing commented 1 year ago

@MarijnS95 Thanks! I'm aware of the gpu-allocator project but it's lacking certain features that we need, like defragmentation, memory pools and virtual memory blocks. I will continue to maintain the vk-mem-rs project until gpu-allocator reaches feature parity.

Hey @Neo-Zhixing - apologies for such a late reply - I've been absolutely swamped, and no time for rust sadly (at least right now). I'd be willing to give you co-ownership of this repo instead of maintaining a fork if you are open to that.

Neo-Zhixing commented 1 year ago

@gwihlidal That'd be great! Please also add me to crates.io so that I can publish new versions.

@Neo-Zhixing which repository are you actively maintaining? I'm looking to use some binding to VMA

Neo-Zhixing commented 1 year ago

@bkolligs I'm still maintaining the forked repo since @gwihlidal did not actually give me co-ownership

With #66 the fork is no longer being maintained. I have updated this repo & published the latest changes to cargo.
