+- Make module compaction preserve the module's named types, even if they are unused. By @jimblandy in [#4734](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/4734).

 - Improve algorithm used by module compaction. By @jimblandy in [#4662](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/4662).
 
 - When reading GLSL, fix the argument types of the double-precision floating-point overloads of the `dot`, `reflect`, `distance`, and `ldexp` builtin functions. Correct the WGSL generated for constructing 64-bit floating-point matrices. Add tests for all the above. By @jimblandy in [#4684](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/4684).
