 - Make `Surface::as_hal` take an immutable reference to the surface. By @jerzywilczek in [#9999](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/9999)
 - Add actual sample type to `CreateBindGroupError::InvalidTextureSampleType` error message. By @ErichDonGubler in [#6530](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/6530).
+- Improve binding error to give a clearer message when there is a mismatch between resource binding as it is in the shader and as it is in the binding layout. By @eliemichel in [#6553](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/6553).
