egui

Hi! I've been using egui for my project and I wanted to update it to use 0.18. However, I can't update because what used to be egui_wgpu_backend and egui_winit_platform are now bundled as part of egui (in egui_winit and egui_wgpu). When fixing the egui integration inside rend3's integration, which is the one I'm using, I realized there was a function that got lost during the migration (details here: https://github.com/BVE-Reborn/rend3/pull/400).

This function was reintroduced in 5d15e3d367632289, but this was after the release of 0.18. I understand the current goal is to keep the version of egui_wgpu in lockstep with core egui, so releasing a 0.19 may not be possible at this point. But since egui 0.19 may still take a while, I wanted to ask: Would it be possible to release a new egui_wgpu version with the changes from the commit above? Since that only adds a new function and breaks no existing functionality, it could be sneaked in a potential 0.18.1, even though that is not strictly how SemVer works.

The problem is that egui-wgpu on master is incompatible with latest egui (0.18) (at least if I recall correctly), which means we also need to do a new egui release first.

I see, that's unfortunate :/ But yes, there's not much that can be done until next release then.

FWIW, egui_wgpu_backend and egui_winit_platform have been updated to be compatible with egui 0.18, so projects relying on the old libraries may have an easier time updating that, at least for the time being (that's what rend3 ended up doing).

I'll try do do a 0.19 release next week!

0.19.0 has now been released!
