Dawn: "requiredFeaturesCount" vs "requiredFeatureCount"?
It seems like Google Dawn uses requiredFeatureCount and not requiredFeaturesCount as specified in tutorial for WGPUDeviceDescriptor. Is it something that has changed recently?
Also this doesn't work:
renderPassDesc.timestampWriteCount = 0; // timestampWriteCount doesn't exist in Dawn.
(It seems like Dawn/webgpu is moving fast, so I think there will be many more inconsistencies that I'll post here as I go through the tutorial)
These are recent changes. I am not updating the guide as long as Dawn does not really switch to the new standard API, where there is no longer the SwapChain, because I know it will happen and don't want to duplicate the effort (each update takes time because I have to process all chapters).
Moreover, if I update for Dawn, I also want to update for wgpu-native, but currently the two implementations are less in sync that they used to be (again, because Dawn lags behind on the SwapChain part) so it'd be a mess to have suddenly a lot of #if, that I would have to revert back soon again.
