My efforts to get Paypal (through support) to stop bullying itch.io have been largely ineffective. I will likely cancel my account of that surveillance-sta.. payment processor, and donate to this an other project that were abruptly affected by this wave of changes.
Vulkan API 1.4 released with new required extensions, better 8K rendering

It can also be the case that your GPU can support all of the features without having that quick label applied, depending upon when your vendor stops supporting the driver. Those making games/apps should be querying the extensions directly, and not the version number, but...

Quoting: ShmerlCan someone explain please what does rendering backend mean for SDL? SDL has some abstraction over graphics API?SDL has had the ability to talk to Vulkan since 2.0.6, five years ago, https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/sdl-2-0-6-released/23109 [External Link] . I believe this means when you say to SDL, "hey go draw this" (not through OpenGL or Vulkan directly), it can use Vulkan if it wants. Usually those rendering APIs that come in the windowing APIs are... on the simple side. https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/SDL_Renderer [External Link] , so I can't them having the hundreds and hundreds of possible commands of OpenGL or Vulkan.
I thought it's primarily useful for abstracting stuff like WSL / windowing integration and input and such.

If only Apple wasn't so broke they could support OpenGL 4.6.

Well, Bobby Kotick is out this year, so a small win amongst the epic fail. Maybe Bethesda games will be less buggy?
