+# Changelog
+
+## 0.2.0 - 2026-08-21
+
+This release modernizes gpu.cpp around current Dawn and adds a maintained
+browser target.
+
+### Added
+
+- A browser backend using Emdawnwebgpu, Emscripten, JSPI, and an ES-module
+  Embind API for persistent contexts and JavaScript typed arrays.
+- Explicit read/read-write bindings, reusable kernels, uniform parameters, and
+  asynchronous dispatch and readback through `gpu::Future`.
+- Native SPIR-V input with an executable WebGPU-profile contract test.
+- C++ stories for WGSL, native f16, and SPIR-V; a NumPy Python story; and a
+  Chrome story covering browser errors, context reuse, dispatch, and readback.
+- Reproducible scripts pinning Dawn, Emdawn, emsdk, SPIRV-Tools, and
+  SPIRV-Headers to exact revisions.
+
+### Changed
+
+- WebGPU objects now use Dawn's generated C++ RAII facade and normal C++ value
+  semantics.
+- The Python binding now follows the C++ API and preserves NumPy shape and
+  `float16`, `float32`, and `int32` dtypes.
+- Host-side f16 uses native `_Float16` where supported; the portable core
+  treats f16 as two-byte IEEE 754 storage.
+- Examples and the build are consolidated under the root CMake project and the
+  single `./test` entrypoint.
+
+### Removed
+
+- The legacy raw WebGPU C API implementation, manual resource pools, custom
+  half implementation, Haskell binding, obsolete build files, and abandoned
+  experimental targets.
