v0.5.0

v0.5.0 is the next minor release.

👀 Highlights

🔧 New --backend flag for GPU backend selection. If you're hitting wgpu DX12 crashes on Windows, --backend vulkan gets you around it. Auto mode now prefers hardware GPUs over software renderers.

🔧 GPU Backend Selection

You can now pick which graphics API to use: vulkan, dx12, metal, gl, or auto. Auto mode tries Vulkan → Metal → DX12 → GL and skips software renderers (llvmpipe, SwiftShader) unless no hardware GPU is found.
