gpujs/gpu.js 2.19.1

on GitHub

Community PR harvest — seven long-open pull requests merged, some waiting since 2021. Thank you all.

Fixed

• Helper functions receiving arguments in a different order than the kernel no longer get wrong argument bit ratios (#846, thanks @ChenZhuoSteve; earlier partial fix in #731 by @exebetche)
• addFunction() with a function-string source no longer throws (#729, thanks @m0ose)
• WebGL feature detection no longer crashes in Web Workers / OffscreenCanvas environments (#779, thanks @jbghoul — fixes #778)
• Minified browser bundles are now pure ASCII, fixing Safari regex errors from re-encoded sources (#744, thanks @jbghoul — fixes #743)
• getPixels() TypeScript return type corrected to Uint8ClampedArray (#837, thanks @stity)

Changed

• Compile-time speedup: constant lookup arrays hoisted out of per-AST-node methods (#713, thanks @wwwzbwcom)
• Deprecated substr() replaced with slice() (#747, thanks @CommanderRoot)
• New demo: animated parallel raytracer (#833, thanks @jin)

Note: #824 (cropped rendering) was merged and then reverted in this same release — its viewport clamp breaks framebuffer-texture rendering; details on the PR.
