title: "OpenGL ES `wgpu` backend is no longer supported by default"
pull_requests: [ 20793 ]

The gles backend for wgpu is no longer included as a default feature of bevy_render. OpenGL support is still available, but must be explicitly enabled by adding the bevy_render/gles feature to your app. This change reflects the fact that OpenGL support is not tested and that some features may not work as expected or at all. We welcome contributions to improve OpenGL support in the future.
