# Objective
Fixes#9455
This change has probably been forgotten in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8306.
## Solution
Remove the inversion of the Y axis when propagates window change back to
winit.
# Objective
fix#9452
when multiple assets are queued to a preregistered loader, only one gets
unblocked when the real loader is registered.
## Solution
i thought async_channel receivers worked like broadcast channels, but in
fact the notification is only received by a single receiver, so only a
single waiting asset is unblocked. close the sender instead so that all
blocked receivers are unblocked.
If a line has one point behind the camera(near plane) then it would
deform or, if the `depth_bias` setting was set to a negative value,
disappear.
## Solution
The issue is that performing a perspective divide does not work
correctly for points behind the near plane and a perspective divide is
used inside the shader to define the line width in screen space.
The solution is to perform near plane clipping manually inside the
shader before the perspective divide is done.
# Objective
Fix#9089
## Solution
Don't try to draw lines with less than 2 vertices. These would not be
visible either way.

# Objective
- Fixes#9324
- Audio sinks used to have a custom drop implementation to detach the
sinks because it was not required to keep a reference to it
- With the new audio api, a reference is kept as a component of an
entity
## Solution
- Remove that custom drop implementation, and the option wrapping that
was required for it.
# Objective
- When loading gltf files during app creation (for example using a
FromWorld impl and adding that as a resource), no loader was found.
- As the gltf loader can load compressed formats, it needs to know what
the GPU supports so it's not available at app creation time.
## Solution
alternative to #9426
- add functionality to preregister the loader. loading assets with
matching extensions will block until a real loader is registered.
- preregister "gltf" and "glb".
- prereigster image formats.
the way this is set up, if a set of extensions are all registered with a
single preregistration call, then later a loader is added that matches
some of the extensions, assets using the remaining extensions will then
fail. i think that should work well for image formats that we don't know
are supported until later.
Fixes#9094
Takes a bit from
[this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9094#issuecomment-1629333851)
comment as well as a
[comment](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1128024873260810271)
from @soqb.
This allows users to opt-out of the `TypePath` implementation that is
automatically generated by the `Reflect` derive macro, allowing custom
`TypePath` implementations.
```rust
struct Foo<T> {
#[reflect(ignore)]
_marker: PhantomData<T>,
}
struct NotTypePath;
impl<T: 'static> TypePath for Foo<T> {
fn type_path() -> &'static str {
std::any::type_name::<Self>()
}
fn short_type_path() -> &'static str {
static CELL: GenericTypePathCell = GenericTypePathCell::new();
CELL.get_or_insert::<Self, _>(|| {
bevy_utils::get_short_name(std::any::type_name::<Self>())
})
}
fn crate_name() -> Option<&'static str> {
Some("my_crate")
}
fn module_path() -> Option<&'static str> {
Some("my_crate::foo")
}
fn type_ident() -> Option<&'static str> {
Some("Foo")
}
}
// Can use `TypePath`
let _ = <Foo<NotTypePath> as TypePath>::type_path();
// Can register the type
let mut registry = TypeRegistry::default();
registry.register::<Foo<NotTypePath>>();
```
The stability of type paths mainly come into play during serialization.
If a type is moved between builds, an unstable type path may become
invalid.
Users that opt-out of `TypePath` and rely on something like
`std::any::type_name` as in the example above, should be aware that this
solution removes the stability guarantees. Deserialization thus expects
that type to never move. If it does, then the serialized type paths will
need to be updated accordingly.
If a user depends on stability, they will need to implement that
stability logic manually (probably by looking at the expanded output of
a typical `Reflect`/`TypePath` derive). This could be difficult for type
parameters that don't/can't implement `TypePath`, and will need to make
heavy use of string parsing and manipulation to achieve the same effect
(alternatively, they can choose to simply exclude any type parameter
that doesn't implement `TypePath`).

# Objective
Update a camera's frustum only when needed.
- Maybe a performance gain from not having to compute frusta when not
needed, at the cost of change detection (?)
- Making "fighting" with `update_frusta` less tedious, see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9077 and
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1127566087966433322
## Solution
Add change detection filter for `GlobalTransform` or `T:
CameraProjection` in `update_frusta`, since those are the cases when the
frustum needs to be updated.
## Note
I don't think a migration guide and changelog are needed, but I'm not
100% sure, I could put something like "if you're fighting against
`update_frusta`, you can do it only when there is a change to
`GlobalTransform` or `CameraProjection` now", what do you think? It's
not really a breaking change with a normal use case.
# Objective
In the shader prepass example, changing to the motion vector output
hides the text, because both it and the background are rendererd black.
Seems to have been caused by this commit?
71cf35ce42
## Solution
Make the text white on all outputs.
# Objective
It seems the behavior of field attributes was accidentally broken at
some point. Take the following code:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
#[reflect(ignore, default)]
value: usize
}
```
The above code should simply mark `value` as ignored and specify a
default behavior. However, what this actually does is discard both.
That's especially a problem when we don't want the field to be be given
a `Reflect` or `FromReflect` bound (which is why we ignore it in the
first place).
This only happens when the attributes are combined into one. The
following code works properly:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo {
#[reflect(ignore)]
#[reflect(default)]
value: usize
}
```
## Solution
Cleaned up the field attribute parsing logic to support combined field
attributes.
---
## Changelog
- Fixed a bug where `Reflect` derive attributes on fields are not able
to be combined into a single attribute
- I forgot to update the example after the `ViewNodeRunner` was merged.
It was even partially mentioned in one of the comments.
- Use the `ViewNodeRunner` in the post_processing example
- I also broke up a few lines that were a bit long

The `post_processing` example is currently broken when run with webgl2.

# Objective
- Fixes#9114
## Solution
Inside `ScheduleGraph::build_schedule()` the variable `node_count =
self.systems.len() + self.system_sets.len()` is used to calculate the
indices for the `reachable` bitset derived from `self.hierarchy.graph`.
However, the number of nodes inside `self.hierarchy.graph` does not
always correspond to `self.systems.len() + self.system_sets.len()` when
`ambiguous_with` is used, because an ambiguous set is added to
`system_sets` (because we need an `NodeId` for the ambiguity graph)
without adding a node to `self.hierarchy`.
In this PR, we rename `node_count` to the more descriptive name
`hg_node_count` and set it to `self.hierarchy.graph.node_count()`.

Remove the `With<Parent>` query filter from the `parent_node_query`
parameter of the `bevy_ui::render::extract_uinode_borders` function.

current node's parent. We don't care if that parent node has a `Parent`
or not.

# Objective
- Fixes#9138
## Solution
- Calling `Camera2dBundle::default()` will now result in a
`Camera2dBundle` with `Vec3::ZERO` transform, `far` value of `1000.` and
`near` value of `-1000.`.
- This will enable the rendering of 2d entities in negative z space by
default.
- I did not modify `new_with_far` as moving the camera to `Vec3::ZERO`
in that function will cause entities in the positive z space to become
hidden without further changes. And the further changes cannot be
applied without it being a breaking change.
# Objective
- Repeat in `Gizmos` that they are drawned in immediate mode, which is
said at the module level but not here, and detail what it means.
- Clarify for every method of `Gizmos` that they should be called for
every frame.
- Clarify which methods belong to 3D or 2D space (kinda obvious for 2D
but still)
The first time I used gizmos I didn't understand how they work and was
confused as to why nothing showed up.

# Objective
This PR continues https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8885
It aims to improve the `Mesh` documentation in the following ways:
- Put everything at the "top level" instead of the "impl".
- Explain better what is a Mesh, how it can be created, and that it can
be edited.
- Explain it can be used with a `Material`, and mention
`StandardMaterial`, `PbrBundle`, `ColorMaterial`, and
`ColorMesh2dBundle` since those cover most cases
- Mention the glTF/Bevy vocabulary discrepancy for "Mesh"
- Add an image for the example
- Various nitpicky modifications
## Note
- The image I added is 90.3ko which I think is small enough?
- Since rustdoc doesn't allow cross-reference not in dependencies of a
subcrate [yet](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74481), I have a
lot of backtick references that are not links :(
- Since rustdoc doesn't allow linking to code in the crate (?) I put
link to github directly.
- Since rustdoc doesn't allow embed images in doc
[yet](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32104), maybe
[soon](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3397), I had to put only a
link to the image. I don't think it's worth adding
[embed_doc_image](https://docs.rs/embed-doc-image/latest/embed_doc_image/)
as a dependency for this.
- attempt to clarify with better docstrings the default behaviour of
WindowPlugin and the component type it accepts.
# Objective
- I'm new to Rust and Bevy, I got a bit confused about how to customise
some window parameters (title, height, width etc) and while the docs do
show the struct code for that field `Option<Window>` I was a bit of a
doofus and skipped that to read the docstring entry for `primary_window`
and then the `Window` component directly which aren't linked together.
This is a minor improvement which I think will help in-case others, like
me, have a doofus moment.

## Solution
Reorder the `ExtractSchedule` so that the `extract_text_uinodes` and
`extract_uinode_borders` systems are run after `extract_atlas_uinodes`.
## Changelog
`bevy_ui::render`:
* Added the `ExtractAtlasNode` variant to `RenderUiSystem`.
* Changed `ExtractSchedule` so that `extract_uinode_borders` and
`extract_text_uinodes` run after `extract_atlas_uinodes`.
# Objective
Fixes#9121
Context:
- `ImageTextureLoader` depends on `RenderDevice` to work out which
compressed image formats it can support
- `RenderDevice` is initialised by `RenderPlugin`
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8336 made `RenderPlugin`
initialisation async
- This caused `RenderDevice` to be missing at the time of
`ImageTextureLoader` initialisation, which in turn meant UASTC encoded
ktx2 textures were being converted to unsupported formats, and thus
caused panics
## Solution
- Delay `ImageTextureLoader` initialisation
---
## Changelog
- Moved `ImageTextureLoader` initialisation from `ImagePlugin::build()`
to `ImagePlugin::finish()`
- Default to `CompressedImageFormats::NONE` if `RenderDevice` resource
is missing

# Objective
Fix#8936.
## Solution
Stop using `unwrap` in the core pipelined rendering logic flow.
Separately also scoped the `sub app` span to just running the render app
instead of including the blocking send.
Current unknowns: should we use `std::panic::catch_unwind` around
running the render app? Other engine threads use it defensively, but
we're letting it bubble up here, and a user-created panic could cause a
deadlock if it kills the thread.
---
## Changelog
Fixed: Pipelined rendering should no longer have spurious panics upon
app exit.
# Objective
- #8960 isn't optimal for very distinct AABB colors, it can be improved
## Solution
We want a function that maps sequential values (entities concurrently
living in a scene _usually_ have ids that are sequential) into very
different colors (the hue component of the color, to be specific)
What we are looking for is a [so-called "low discrepancy"
sequence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-discrepancy_sequence). ie: a
function `f` such as for integers in a given range (eg: 101, 102, 103…),
`f(i)` returns a rational number in the [0..1] range, such as `|f(i) -
f(i±1)| ≈ 0.5` (maximum difference of images for neighboring preimages)
AHash is a good random hasher, but it has relatively high discrepancy,
so we need something else.
Known good low discrepancy sequences are:
#### The [Van Der Corput
sequence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Corput_sequence)
<details><summary>Rust implementation</summary>
```rust
fn van_der_corput(bits: u64) -> f32 {
let leading_zeros = if bits == 0 { 0 } else { bits.leading_zeros() };
let nominator = bits.reverse_bits() >> leading_zeros;
let denominator = bits.next_power_of_two();
nominator as f32 / denominator as f32
}
```
</details>
#### The [Gold Kronecker
sequence](https://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-quasirandom-sequences/)
<details><summary>Rust implementation</summary>
Note that the implementation suggested in the linked post assumes
floats, we have integers
```rust
fn gold_kronecker(bits: u64) -> f32 {
const U64_MAX_F: f32 = u64::MAX as f32;
// (u64::MAX / Φ) rounded down
const FRAC_U64MAX_GOLDEN_RATIO: u64 = 11400714819323198485;
bits.wrapping_mul(FRAC_U64MAX_GOLDEN_RATIO) as f32 / U64_MAX_F
}
```
</details>
### Comparison of the sequences
So they are both pretty good. Both only have a single (!) division and
two `u32 as f32` conversions.
- Kronecker is resilient to regular sequence (eg: 100, 102, 104, 106)
while this kills Van Der Corput (consider that potentially one entity
out of two spawned might be a mesh)
I made a small app to compare the two sequences, available at:
https://gist.github.com/nicopap/5dd9bd6700c6a9a9cf90c9199941883e
At the top, we have Van Der Corput, at the bottom we have the Gold
Kronecker. In the video, we spawn a vertical line at the position on
screen where the x coordinate is the image of the sequence. The
preimages are 1,2,3,4,… The ideal algorithm would always have the
largest possible gap between each line (imagine the screen x coordinate
as the color hue):
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/26321040/349aa8f8-f669-43ba-9842-f9a46945e25c
Here, we repeat the experiment, but with with `entity.to_bits()` instead
of a sequence:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/26321040/516cea27-7135-4daa-a4e7-edfd1781d119
Notice how Van Der Corput tend to bunch the lines on a single side of
the screen. This is because we always skip odd-numbered entities.
Gold Kronecker seems always worse than Van Der Corput, but it is
resilient to finicky stuff like entity indices being multiples of a
number rather than purely sequential, so I prefer it over Van Der
Corput, since we can't really predict how distributed the entity indices
will be.
### Chosen implementation
You'll notice this PR's implementation is not the Golden ratio-based
Kronecker sequence as described in
[tueoqs](https://extremelearning.com.au/unreasonable-effectiveness-of-quasirandom-sequences/).
Why?
tueoqs R function multiplies a rational/float and takes the fractional
part of the result `(x/Φ) % 1`. We start with an integer `u32`. So
instead of converting into float and dividing by Φ (mod 1) we directly
divide by Φ as integer (mod 2³²) both operations are equivalent, the
integer division (which is actually a multiplication by `u32::MAX / Φ`)
is probably faster.

# Objective
AssetPath shader imports check if the shader is added using the path
without quotes. this causes them to be re-added even if already present,
which can cause previous dependents to get unloaded leading to a
"missing import" error.
## Solution
fix the module name of AssetPath shaders used for checking if it's
already added to correctly use the quoted name.
# Objective
Gizmos are intended to draw over everything but for some reason I set
the sort key to `0` during #8427 :v
I didn't catch this mistake because it still draws over sprites with a Z
translation of `0`.
## Solution
Set the sort key to `f32::INFINITY`.
# Objective
In my application, I'm manually wrapping the built-in Bevy loaders with
a wrapper loader that stores some metadata before calling into the inner
Bevy loader. This worked for the glTF loader in Bevy 0.10, but in Bevy
0.11 it became impossible to do this because the glTF loader became
unconstructible outside Bevy due to the new private fields within it.
It's now in fact impossible to get a reference to a GltfLoader at all
from outside Bevy, because the only way to construct a GltfLoader is to
add the GltfPlugin to an App, and the GltfPlugin only hands out
references to its GltfLoader to the asset server, which provides no
public access to the loaders it manages.
## Solution
This commit fixes the problem by adding a public `new` method to allow
manual construction of a glTF loader.

# Objective
In both Text2d and Bevy UI text because of incorrect text size and
alignment calculations if a block of text has empty leading lines then
those lines are ignored. Also, depending on the font size when leading
empty lines are ignored the same number of lines of text can go missing
from the bottom of the text block.
## Example (from murtaugh on discord)
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.run();
}
fn setup(mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
let text = "\nfirst line\nsecond line\nthird line\n";
commands.spawn(TextBundle {
text: Text::from_section(
text.to_string(),
TextStyle {
font_size: 60.0,
color: Color::YELLOW,
..Default::default()
},
),
style: Style {
position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
..Default::default()
},
background_color: BackgroundColor(Color::RED),
..Default::default()
});
}
```
## Solution
`TextPipeline::queue_text`,
`TextMeasureInfo::compute_size_from_section_texts` and
`GlyphBrush::process_glyphs` each have a nearly duplicate section of
code that calculates the minimum bounds around a list of text sections.
The first two functions don't apply any rounding, but `process_glyphs`
also floors all the values. It seems like this difference can cause
conflicts where the text gets incorrectly shaped.
Also when Bevy computes the text bounds it chooses the smallest possible
rect that fits all the glyphs, ignoring white space. The glyphs are then
realigned vertically so the first glyph is on the top line. Any empty
leading lines are missed.
This PR adds a function `compute_text_bounds` that replaces the
duplicate code, so the text bounds are rounded the same way by each
function. Also, since Bevy doesn't use `ab_glyph` to control vertical
alignment, the minimum y bound is just always set to 0 which ensures no
leading empty lines will be missed.
There is another problem in that trailing empty lines are also ignored,
but that's more difficult to deal with and much less important than the
other issues, so I'll leave it for another PR.

## Changelog
Added a new function `compute_text_bounds` to the `glyph_brush` module
that replaces the text size and bounds calculations in
`TextPipeline::queue_text`,
`TextMeasureInfo::compute_size_from_section_texts` and
`GlyphBrush::process_glyphs`. The text bounds are calculated identically
in each function and the minimum y bound is not derived from the glyphs
but is always set to 0.

This release I'm experimenting with a new changelog format that doesn't
sap hours of extra time to put together. Basically:
1. Sort by "development area" instead of added / changed / fixed. These
distinctions are often unclear anyway and we have no automated way of
assigning them currently. "Development area" sorting feels equally
useful (if not more useful). Our changelog generator also already does
"development area" categorization so this is efficient.
2. Sort by "importance" and trim out irrelevant changes. This is
laborious, but I already do this as part of my blog post construction
methodology, so it isn't "extra" work.
# Objective
fixes#8911, #7712
## Solution
Rounding was added to Taffy which fixed issue #7712.
The implementation uses the f32 `round` method which rounds ties
(fractional part is a half) away from zero. Issue #8911 occurs when a
node's min and max bounds on either axis are "ties" and zero is between
them. Then the bounds are rounded away from each other, and the node
grows by a pixel. This alone shouldn't cause the node to expand
continuously, but I think there is some interaction with the way Taffy
recomputes a layout from its cached data that I didn't identify.
This PR fixes#8911 by first disabling Taffy's internal rounding and
using an alternative rounding function that rounds ties up.
Then, instead of rounding the values of the internal layout tree as
Taffy's built-in rounding does, we leave those values unmodified and
only the values stored in the components are rounded. This requires
walking the tree for the UI node geometry update rather than iterating
through a query.
Because the component values are regenerated each update, that should
mean that UI updates are idempotent (ish) now and make the growing node
behaviour seen in issue #8911 impossible.
I expected a performance regression, but it's an improvement on main:
```
cargo run --profile stress-test --features trace_tracy --example many_buttons
```
<img width="461" alt="ui-rounding-fix-compare"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/27962798/914bfd50-e18a-4642-b262-fafa69005432">
I guess it makes sense to do the rounding together with the node size
and position updates.
---
## Changelog
`bevy_ui::layout`:
* Taffy's built-in rounding is disabled and rounding is now performed by
`ui_layout_system`.
* Instead of rounding the values of the internal layout tree as Taffy's
built-in rounding does, we leave those values unmodified and only the
values stored in the components are rounded. This requires walking the
tree for the UI node geometry update rather than iterating through a
query. Because the component values are regenerated each update, that
should mean that UI updates are idempotent now and make the growing node
behaviour seen in issue #8911 impossible.
* Added two helper functions `round_ties_up` and
`round_layout_coordinates`.

Added: Optional default feature `multi-theaded` to that enables
multithreaded parallelism in the engine. Disabling it disables all
multithreading in exchange for higher single threaded performance. Does
nothing on WASM targets.

# Objective
- accesskit_unix is not optional anymore
## Solution
- Enable `async-io` feature of `accesskit_winit` only when
`accesskit_unix` is enabled
# Objective
Improve the `bevy_audio` API to make it more user-friendly and
ECS-idiomatic. This PR is a first-pass at addressing some of the most
obvious (to me) problems. In the interest of keeping the scope small,
further improvements can be done in future PRs.
The current `bevy_audio` API is very clunky to work with, due to how it
(ab)uses bevy assets to represent audio sinks.
The user needs to write a lot of boilerplate (accessing
`Res<Assets<AudioSink>>`) and deal with a lot of cognitive overhead
(worry about strong vs. weak handles, etc.) in order to control audio
playback.
Audio playback is initiated via a centralized `Audio` resource, which
makes it difficult to keep track of many different sounds playing in a
typical game.
Further, everything carries a generic type parameter for the sound
source type, making it difficult to mix custom sound sources (such as
procedurally generated audio or unofficial formats) with regular audio
assets.
Let's fix these issues.
## Solution
Refactor `bevy_audio` to a more idiomatic ECS API. Remove the `Audio`
resource. Do everything via entities and components instead.
Audio playback data is now stored in components:
- `PlaybackSettings`, `SpatialSettings`, `Handle<AudioSource>` are now
components. The user inserts them to tell Bevy to play a sound and
configure the initial playback parameters.
- `AudioSink`, `SpatialAudioSink` are now components instead of special
magical "asset" types. They are inserted by Bevy when it actually begins
playing the sound, and can be queried for by the user in order to
control the sound during playback.
Bundles: `AudioBundle` and `SpatialAudioBundle` are available to make it
easy for users to play sounds. Spawn an entity with one of these bundles
(or insert them to a complex entity alongside other stuff) to play a
sound.
Each entity represents a sound to be played.
There is also a new "auto-despawn" feature (activated using
`PlaybackSettings`), which, if enabled, tells Bevy to despawn entities
when the sink playback finishes. This allows for "fire-and-forget" sound
playback. Users can simply
spawn entities whenever they want to play sounds and not have to worry
about leaking memory.
## Unsolved Questions
I think the current design is *fine*. I'd be happy for it to be merged.
It has some possibly-surprising usability pitfalls, but I think it is
still much better than the old `bevy_audio`. Here are some discussion
questions for things that we could further improve. I'm undecided on
these questions, which is why I didn't implement them. We should decide
which of these should be addressed in this PR, and what should be left
for future PRs. Or if they should be addressed at all.
### What happens when sounds start playing?
Currently, the audio sink components are inserted and the bundle
components are kept. Should Bevy remove the bundle components? Something
else?
The current design allows an entity to be reused for playing the same
sound with the same parameters repeatedly. This is a niche use case I'd
like to be supported, but if we have to give it up for a simpler design,
I'd be fine with that.
### What happens if users remove any of the components themselves?
As described above, currently, entities can be reused. Removing the
audio sink causes it to be "detached" (I kept the old `Drop` impl), so
the sound keeps playing. However, if the audio bundle components are not
removed, Bevy will detect this entity as a "queued" sound entity again
(has the bundle compoenents, without a sink component), just like before
playing the sound the first time, and start playing the sound again.
This behavior might be surprising? Should we do something different?
### Should mutations to `PlaybackSettings` be applied to the audio sink?
We currently do not do that. `PlaybackSettings` is just for the initial
settings when the sound starts playing. This is clearly documented.
Do we want to keep this behavior, or do we want to allow users to use
`PlaybackSettings` instead of `AudioSink`/`SpatialAudioSink` to control
sounds during playback too?
I think I prefer for them to be kept separate. It is not a bad mental
model once you understand it, and it is documented.
### Should `AudioSink` and `SpatialAudioSink` be unified into a single
component type?
They provide a similar API (via the `AudioSinkPlayback` trait) and it
might be annoying for users to have to deal with both of them. The
unification could be done using an enum that is matched on internally by
the methods. Spatial audio has extra features, so this might make it
harder to access. I think we shouldn't.
### Automatic synchronization of spatial sound properties from
Transforms?
Should Bevy automatically apply changes to Transforms to spatial audio
entities? How do we distinguish between listener and emitter? Which one
does the transform represent? Where should the other one come from?
Alternatively, leave this problem for now, and address it in a future
PR. Or do nothing, and let users deal with it, as shown in the
`spatial_audio_2d` and `spatial_audio_3d` examples.

sounds.
Removed:
- The `Audio` resource.
- `AudioOutput` is no longer `pub`.
Changed:
- `AudioSink`, `SpatialAudioSink` are now components instead of assets.
## Migration Guide
// TODO: write a more detailed migration guide, after the "unsolved
questions" are answered and this PR is finalized.
Before:
```rust
/// Need to store handles somewhere
#[derive(Resource)]
struct MyMusic {
sink: Handle<AudioSink>,
}
fn play_music(
asset_server: Res<AssetServer>,
audio: Res<Audio>,
audio_sinks: Res<Assets<AudioSink>>,
mut commands: Commands,
) {
let weak_handle = audio.play_with_settings(
asset_server.load("music.ogg"),
PlaybackSettings::LOOP.with_volume(0.5),
);
// upgrade to strong handle and store it
commands.insert_resource(MyMusic {
sink: audio_sinks.get_handle(weak_handle),
});
}
fn toggle_pause_music(
audio_sinks: Res<Assets<AudioSink>>,
mymusic: Option<Res<MyMusic>>,
) {
if let Some(mymusic) = &mymusic {
if let Some(sink) = audio_sinks.get(&mymusic.sink) {
sink.toggle();
}
}
}
```
Now:
```rust
/// Marker component for our music entity
#[derive(Component)]
struct MyMusic;
fn play_music(
mut commands: Commands,
asset_server: Res<AssetServer>,
) {
commands.spawn((
AudioBundle::from_audio_source(asset_server.load("music.ogg"))
.with_settings(PlaybackSettings::LOOP.with_volume(0.5)),
MyMusic,
));
}
fn toggle_pause_music(
// `AudioSink` will be inserted by Bevy when the audio starts playing
query_music: Query<&AudioSink, With<MyMusic>>,
) {
if let Ok(sink) = query.get_single() {
sink.toggle();
}
}
```
# Objective
`accesskit` and `accesskit_winit` need to be upgraded.
## Solution
Upgrade `accesskit` and `accesskit_winit`.

## Changelog
### Changed
* Upgrade accesskit to v0.11.
* Upgrade accesskit_winit to v0.14.
