Relation （or difference) between wry and tauri?

Hi,

In Wry introduction, it's "Cross-platform WebView library in Rust for Tauri" and it seems that it's maintained by tauri (the team of tauri).

-- I want to be clear, is tauri (tauri.app) currently using wry? or in the future?
(from https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/ARCHITECTURE.md#wry I can now confirm that tauri.app uses wry)

I also see a benchmark at https://tauri.app/v1/references/benchmarks, it seems that tauri (tauri.app) are competing with wry and for most benchmark items, tauri.app are winners.

-- if tauri.app actually uses wry, why tauri has better results in the benchmark in the end ?

I'm really confused.

As I read more, I realized that the benchmark is not intended to compare tauri to wry but electron.

The comparison has two parts: tauri vs electron, and raw wry vs electon. In this way, it makes more sense to me.

Tauri indeed uses wry under the hood. The reason that wry does bad in the Execution time benchmarks is because github action latest runner has been upgraded to ubuntu 22.04 and it has a bug (specific to github action) that causes slow startup time for wry/tauri apps. We haven't been able to identify the bug so far nor we could reproduce it locally so for now we have downgraded the runner to ubunutu 20.04 on tauri's benchmarks but we haven't done the same for wry yet.

That's github action specific bug I think. I'm on PopOS 22.04 and everything still work as usual.
