deck.gl v9.4 brings together a collection of completed improvements focused on performance, stability, and usability. Highlights include:

• All layers go WebGPU: entire official layers catalog has been ported to WebGPU and achieves render parity with the WebGL version.
• Natural controllers interaction: globe now supports pitch and bearing; trackpad gestures; and elastic navigation bounds makes complex 2D and 3D scenes easier to explore.
• Responsive multi-view and multi-canvas layouts: make responsive dashboards and multi-view visualizations with ease.
• Layers, extensions and widgets improvements: Sophisticated antialiasing, pattern fills, dashed-line styling, and tile loading features add stunning visuals.
