Improve the performance of 'string enums' (#3915)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -31,6 +31,9 @@
 * Generate JS bindings for WebIDL dictionary setters instead of using `Reflect`. This increases the size of the Web API bindings but should be more performant. Also, importing getters/setters from JS now supports specifying the JS attribute name as a string, e.g. `#[wasm_bindgen(method, setter = "x-cdm-codecs")]`.
   [#3898](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/3898)
 
+* Greatly improve the performance of sending WebIDL 'string enums' across the JavaScript boundary by converting the enum variant string to/from an int.
+  [#3915](https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/pull/3915)
+
 ### Fixed
 
 * Copy port from headless test server when using `WASM_BINDGEN_TEST_ADDRESS`.
