# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11628
## Migration Guide
`Command` and `CommandQueue` have migrated from `bevy_ecs::system` to
`bevy_ecs::world`, so `use bevy_ecs::world::{Command, CommandQueue};`
when necessary.
# Objective
bevy_ecs has been developed with a de facto assumption that `Entity` is
to be treated as an opaque identifier by external users, and that its
internal representation is readable but in no way guaranteed to be
stable between versions of bevy_ecs.
This hasn't been clear to users, and the functions on the type that
expose its guts speak a different story.
## Solution
Explicitly document the lack of stability here and define internal
representation changes as a non-breaking change under SemVer. Give it
the same treatment that the standard lib gives `TypeId`.
# Objective
- Fix mismatch between the `Component` trait method and the `World`
method.
## Solution
- Replace init_component_info with register_component_hooks.
# Objective
- Provide a reliable and performant mechanism to allows users to keep
components synchronized with external sources: closing/opening sockets,
updating indexes, debugging etc.
- Implement a generic mechanism to provide mutable access to the world
without allowing structural changes; this will not only be used here but
is a foundational piece for observers, which are key for a performant
implementation of relations.
## Solution
- Implement a new type `DeferredWorld` (naming is not important,
`StaticWorld` is also suitable) that wraps a world pointer and prevents
user code from making any structural changes to the ECS; spawning
entities, creating components, initializing resources etc.
- Add component lifecycle hooks `on_add`, `on_insert` and `on_remove`
that can be assigned callbacks in user code.
---
## Changelog
- Add new `DeferredWorld` type.
- Add new world methods: `register_component::<T>` and
`register_component_with_descriptor`. These differ from `init_component`
in that they provide mutable access to the created `ComponentInfo` but
will panic if the component is already in any archetypes. These
restrictions serve two purposes:
1. Prevent users from defining hooks for components that may already
have associated hooks provided in another plugin. (a use case better
served by observers)
2. Ensure that when an `Archetype` is created it gets the appropriate
flags to early-out when triggering hooks.
- Add methods to `ComponentInfo`: `on_add`, `on_insert` and `on_remove`
to be used to register hooks of the form `fn(DeferredWorld, Entity,
ComponentId)`
- Modify `BundleInserter`, `BundleSpawner` and `EntityWorldMut` to
trigger component hooks when appropriate.
- Add bit flags to `Archetype` indicating whether or not any contained
components have each type of hook, this can be expanded for other flags
as needed.
- Add `component_hooks` example to illustrate usage. Try it out! It's
fun to mash keys.
## Safety
The changes to component insertion, removal and deletion involve a large
amount of unsafe code and it's fair for that to raise some concern. I
have attempted to document it as clearly as possible and have confirmed
that all the hooks examples are accepted by `cargo miri` as not causing
any undefined behavior. The largest issue is in ensuring there are no
outstanding references when passing a `DeferredWorld` to the hooks which
requires some use of raw pointers (as was already happening to some
degree in those places) and I have taken some time to ensure that is the
case but feel free to let me know if I've missed anything.
## Performance
These changes come with a small but measurable performance cost of
between 1-5% on `add_remove` benchmarks and between 1-3% on `insert`
benchmarks. One consideration to be made is the existence of the current
`RemovedComponents` which is on average more costly than the addition of
`on_remove` hooks due to the early-out, however hooks doesn't completely
remove the need for `RemovedComponents` as there is a chance you want to
respond to the removal of a component that already has an `on_remove`
hook defined in another plugin, so I have not removed it here. I do
intend to deprecate it with the introduction of observers in a follow up
PR.
## Discussion Questions
- Currently `DeferredWorld` implements `Deref` to `&World` which makes
sense conceptually, however it does cause some issues with rust-analyzer
providing autocomplete for `&mut World` references which is annoying.
There are alternative implementations that may address this but involve
more code churn so I have attempted them here. The other alternative is
to not implement `Deref` at all but that leads to a large amount of API
duplication.
- `DeferredWorld`, `StaticWorld`, something else?
- In adding support for hooks to `EntityWorldMut` I encountered some
unfortunate difficulties with my desired API. If commands are flushed
after each call i.e. `world.spawn() // flush commands .insert(A) //
flush commands` the entity may be despawned while `EntityWorldMut` still
exists which is invalid. An alternative was then to add
`self.world.flush_commands()` to the drop implementation for
`EntityWorldMut` but that runs into other problems for implementing
functions like `into_unsafe_entity_cell`. For now I have implemented a
`.flush()` which will flush the commands and consume `EntityWorldMut` or
users can manually run `world.flush_commands()` after using
`EntityWorldMut`.
- In order to allowing querying on a deferred world we need
implementations of `WorldQuery` to not break our guarantees of no
structural changes through their `UnsafeWorldCell`. All our
implementations do this, but there isn't currently any safety
documentation specifying what is or isn't allowed for an implementation,
just for the caller, (they also shouldn't be aliasing components they
didn't specify access for etc.) is that something we should start doing?
(see 10752)
Please check out the example `component_hooks` or the tests in
`bundle.rs` for usage examples. I will continue to expand this
description as I go.
See #10839 for a more ergonomic API built on top of this one that isn't
subject to the same restrictions and supports `SystemParam` dependency
injection.
# Objective
- In #9623 I forgot to change the `FromWorld` requirement for
`ReflectResource`, fix that;
- Fix#12129
## Solution
- Use the same approach as in #9623 to try using `FromReflect` and
falling back to the `ReflectFromWorld` contained in the `TypeRegistry`
provided
- Just reflect `Resource` on `State<S>` since now that's possible
without introducing new bounds.
---
## Changelog
- `ReflectResource`'s `FromType<T>` implementation no longer requires
`T: FromWorld`, but instead now requires `FromReflect`.
- `ReflectResource::insert`, `ReflectResource::apply_or_insert` and
`ReflectResource::copy` now take an extra `&TypeRegistry` parameter.
## Migration Guide
- Users of `#[reflect(Resource)]` will need to also implement/derive
`FromReflect` (should already be the default).
- Users of `#[reflect(Resource)]` may now want to also add `FromWorld`
to the list of reflected traits in case their `FromReflect`
implementation may fail.
- Users of `ReflectResource` will now need to pass a `&TypeRegistry` to
its `insert`, `apply_or_insert` and `copy` methods.
# Objective
`downcast-rs` is not used within bevy_ecs. This is probably a remnant
from before Schedule v3 landed, since stages needed the downcasting.
## Solution
Remove it.
# Objective
Memory usage optimisation
## Solution
`HashMap` and `HashSet`'s keys are immutable. So using mutable types
like `String`, `Vec<T>`, or `PathBuf` as a key is a waste of memory:
they have an extra `usize` for their capacity and may have spare
capacity.
This PR replaces these types by their immutable equivalents `Box<str>`,
`Box<[T]>`, and `Box<Path>`.
For more context, I recommend watching the [Use Arc Instead of
Vec](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cKi7PTJSs) video.

- Avoid misspellings throughout the codebase by using
[`typos`](https://github.com/crate-ci/typos) in CI
Inspired by https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/pull/5191
Typos is a minimal code speller written in rust that finds and corrects
spelling mistakes among source code.
- Fast enough to run on monorepos
- Low false positives so you can run on PRs

# Objective
Right now when using egui, systems are inserted without any identifier
and to the root. I'd like to name those systems and insert them as

depicted above benefit from tear down of the abstraction.

# Objective
The multi-threaded executor currently runs in a dedicated task on a
single thread. When a system finishes running, it needs to notify that
task and wait for the thread to be available and running before the
executor can process the completion.
See #8304
## Solution
Run the multi-threaded executor at the end of each system task. This
allows it to run immediately instead of needing to wait for the main
thread to wake up. Move the mutable executor state into a separate
struct and wrap it in a mutex so it can be shared among the worker
threads.
While this should be faster in theory, I don't actually know how to
measure the performance impact myself.

- Add the new `-Zcheck-cfg` checks to catch more warnings
- Fixes#12091
## Solution
- Create a new `cfg-check` to the CI that runs `cargo check -Zcheck-cfg

## Changelog
- Remove all redundant imports

# Objective
Fixes#11821.
## Solution
* Run `System::apply_deferred` in `System::run` after executing the
system.
* Switch to using `System::run_unsafe` in `SingleThreadedExecutor` to
preserve the current behavior.
* Remove the `System::apply_deferred` in `SimpleExecutor` as it's now
redundant.
* Remove the `System::apply_deferred` when running one-shot systems, as
it's now redundant.
---
## Changelog
Changed: `System::run` will now immediately apply deferred system params
after running the system.
## Migration Guide
`System::run` will now always run `System::apply_deferred` immediately
after running the system now. If you were running systems and then
applying their deferred buffers at a later point in time, you can
eliminate the latter.
```rust
// in 0.13
system.run(world);
// .. sometime later ...
system.apply_deferred(world);
// in 0.14
system.run(world);

- Part of #11590
- Fix `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` for trivial cases in bevy_ecs

## Objective
Always have `some_system.into_system().type_id() ==
some_system.into_system_set().system_type().unwrap()`.
System sets have a `fn system_type() -> Option<TypeId>` that is
implemented by `SystemTypeSet` to returning the TypeId of the system's
function type. This was implemented in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7715 and is used in
`bevy_mod_debugdump` to handle `.after(function)` constraints.
Back then, `System::type_id` always also returned the type id of the
function item, not of `FunctionSystem<M, F>`.
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11728 changes the behaviour of
`System::type_id` so that it returns the id of the
`FunctionSystem`/`ExclusiveFunctionSystem` wrapper, but it did not
change `SystemTypeSet::system_type`, so doing the lookup breaks in
`bevy_mod_debugdump`.
## Solution
Change `IntoSystemSet` for functions to return a
`SystemTypeSet<FunctionSystem>` /
`SystemTypeSet<ExclusiveFunctionSystem>` instead of `SystemTypeSet<F>`.
Fixes#12016.

# Objective
We deprecated quite a few APIs in 0.13. 0.13 has shipped already. It
should be OK to remove them in 0.14's release. Fixes#4059. Fixes#9011.
## Solution
Remove them.
# Objective
* Fixes#11932 (performance impact when stepping is disabled)
## Solution
The `Option<FixedBitSet>` argument added to `ScheduleExecutor::run()` in
#8453 caused a measurable performance impact even when stepping is
disabled. This can be seen by the benchmark of running `Schedule:run()`
on an empty schedule in a tight loop
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11932#issuecomment-1950970236).
I was able to get the same performance results as on 0.12.1 by changing
the argument
`ScheduleExecutor::run()` from `Option<FixedBitSet>` to
`Option<&FixedBitSet>`. The down-side of this change is that
`Schedule::run()` now takes about 6% longer (3.7319 ms vs 3.9855ns) when
stepping is enabled
---
## Changelog
* Change `ScheduleExecutor::run()` `_skipped_systems` from
`Option<FixedBitSet>` to `Option<&FixedBitSet>`
* Added a few benchmarks to measure `Schedule::run()` performance with
various executors
# Objective
There's a repeating pattern of `ThreadLocal<Cell<Vec<T>>>` which is very
useful for low overhead, low contention multithreaded queues that have
cropped up in a few places in the engine. This pattern is surprisingly
useful when building deferred mutation across multiple threads, as noted
by it's use in `ParallelCommands`.
However, `ThreadLocal<Cell<Vec<T>>>` is not only a mouthful, it's also
hard to ensure the thread-local queue is replaced after it's been
temporarily removed from the `Cell`.
## Solution
Wrap the pattern into `bevy_utils::Parallel<T>` which codifies the
entire pattern and ensures the user follows the contract. Instead of
fetching indivdual cells, removing the value, mutating it, and replacing
it, `Parallel::get` returns a `ParRef<'a, T>` which contains the
temporarily removed value and a reference back to the cell, and will
write the mutated value back to the cell upon being dropped.
I would like to use this to simplify the remaining part of #4899 that
has not been adopted/merged.

# Objective
`update_archetype_component_access` was removed from queries in #9774,
but some documentation still refers to it.
## Solution
Update the documentation. Since a bunch of these were in SAFETY comments
it would be nice if someone who knows the details better could check
that the rest of those comments are still valid.
# Objective
- There are multiple instances of `let Some(x) = ... else { None };`
throughout the project.
- Because `Option<T>` implements
[`Try`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ops/trait.Try.html), it can
use the question mark `?` operator.
## Solution
- Use question mark operator instead of `let Some(x) = ... else { None
}`.
---
There was another PR that did a similar thing a few weeks ago, but I
couldn't find it.
# Objective
At the start of every schedule run, there's currently a guaranteed piece
of overhead as the async executor spawns the MultithreadeExecutor task
onto one of the ComputeTaskPool threads.
## Solution
Poll the executor once to immediately schedule systems without waiting
for the async executor, then spawn the task if and only if the executor
does not immediately terminate.
On a similar note, having the executor task immediately start executing
a system in the same async task might yield similar results over a
broader set of cases. However, this might be more involved, and may need
a solution like #8304.
# Objective
When applying a command, we currently use double indirection for the
world reference `&mut Option<&mut World>`. Since this is used across a
`fn` pointer boundary, this can't get optimized away.
## Solution
Reborrow the world reference and pass `Option<&mut World>` instead.
# Objective
Bevy's change detection functionality is invaluable for writing robust
apps, but it only works in the context of systems and exclusive systems.
Oftentimes it is necessary to detect changes made in earlier code
without having to place the code in separate systems, but it is not
currently possible to do so since there is no way to set the value of
`World::last_change_tick`.
`World::clear_trackers` allows you to update the change tick, but this
has unintended side effects, since it irreversibly affects the behavior
of change and removal detection for the entire app.
## Solution
Add a method `World::last_change_tick_scope`. This allows you to set
`last_change_tick` to a specific value for a region of code. To ensure
that misuse doesn't break unrelated functions, we restore the world's
original change tick at the end of the provided scope.
### Example
A function that uses this to run an update loop repeatedly, allowing
each iteration of the loop to react to changes made in the previous loop
iteration.
```rust
fn update_loop(
world: &mut World,
mut update_fn: impl FnMut(&mut World) -> std::ops::ControlFlow<()>,
) {
let mut last_change_tick = world.last_change_tick();
// Repeatedly run the update function until it requests a break.
loop {
// Update once.
let control_flow = world.last_change_tick_scope(last_change_tick, |world| {
update_fn(world)
});
// End the loop when the closure returns `ControlFlow::Break`.
if control_flow.is_break() {
break;
}
// Increment the change tick so the next update can detect changes from this update.
last_change_tick = world.change_tick();
world.increment_change_tick();
}
}
```
---
## Changelog
+ Added `World::last_change_tick_scope`, which allows you to specify the
reference for change detection within a certain scope.
# Objective
Reduce the size of `bevy_utils`
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11478)
## Solution
Move `EntityHash` related types into `bevy_ecs`. This also allows us
access to `Entity`, which means we no longer need `EntityHashMap`'s
first generic argument.
---
## Changelog
- Moved `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` into `bevy::ecs::entity::hash` .
- Removed `EntityHashMap`'s first generic argument. It is now hardcoded
to always be `Entity`.
## Migration Guide
- Uses of `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` now have to be imported from `bevy::ecs::entity::hash`.
- Uses of `EntityHashMap` no longer have to specify the first generic
parameter. It is now hardcoded to always be `Entity`.
# Objective
It would be useful to be able to inspect a `QueryState`'s accesses so we
can detect when the data it accesses changes without having to iterate
it. However there are two things preventing this:
* These accesses are unnecessarily encapsulated.
* `Has<T>` indirectly accesses `T`, but does not register it.
## Solution
* Expose accesses and matches used by `QueryState`.
* Add the notion of "archetypal" accesses, which are not accessed
directly, but whose presence in an archetype affects a query result.

# Objective
I want to keep track of despawned entities.
I am aware of
[`RemovedComponents`](https://docs.rs/bevy/0.12.1/bevy/ecs/prelude/struct.RemovedComponents.html).
However, the docs don't explicitly mention that despawned entities are
also included in this event iterator.
I searched through the bevy tests to find `removal_tracking` in
`crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/mod.rs` that confirmed the behavior:
```rust
...
assert_eq!(
removed_i32.read().collect::<Vec<_>>(),
&[despawned.0],
"despawning causes the correct entity to show up in the 'RemovedComponent' system parameter."
);
...
```
## Solution
- Explicitly mention this behavior in docs.
[`ScheduleLabel`] derive macro uses "ScheduleName" as the trait name by
mistake. This only affects the error message when a user tries to use
the derive macro on a union type. No other code is affected.
# Objective
- Fixes#11679
## Solution
- Added `IntoSystem::system_type_id` which returns the equivalent of
`system.into_system().type_id()` without construction. This allows for
getting the `TypeId` of functions (a function is an unnamed type and
therefore you cannot call `TypeId::of::<apply_deferred::System>()`)
- Added default implementation of `System::type_id` to ensure
consistency between implementations. Some returned `Self`, while others
were returning an inner value instead. This ensures consistency with
`IntoSystem::system_type_id`.
## Migration Guide
If you use `System::type_id()` on function systems (exclusive or not),
ensure you are comparing its value to other `System::type_id()` calls,
or `IntoSystem::system_type_id()`.
This code wont require any changes, because `IntoSystem`'s are directly
compared to each other.
```rust
fn test_system() {}
let type_id = test_system.type_id();
// ...
// No change required
assert_eq!(test_system.type_id(), type_id);
```
Likewise, this code wont, because `System`'s are directly compared.
```rust
fn test_system() {}
let type_id = IntoSystem::into_system(test_system).type_id();
// ...
// No change required
assert_eq!(IntoSystem::into_system(test_system).type_id(), type_id);
```
The below _does_ require a change, since you're comparing a `System`
type to a `IntoSystem` type.
```rust
fn test_system() {}
// Before
assert_eq!(test_system.type_id(), IntoSystem::into_system(test_system).type_id());
// After
assert_eq!(test_system.system_type_id(), IntoSystem::into_system(test_system).type_id());
```
# Objective
- (Partially) Fixes#9904
- Acts on #9910
## Solution
- Deprecated the relevant methods from `Query`, cascading changes as
required across Bevy.
---
## Changelog
- Deprecated `QueryState::get_component_unchecked_mut` method
- Deprecated `Query::get_component` method
- Deprecated `Query::get_component_mut` method
- Deprecated `Query::component` method
- Deprecated `Query::component_mut` method
- Deprecated `Query::get_component_unchecked_mut` method
## Migration Guide
### `QueryState::get_component_unchecked_mut`
Use `QueryState::get_unchecked_manual` and select for the exact
component based on the structure of the exact query as required.
### `Query::(get_)component(_unchecked)(_mut)`
Use `Query::get` and select for the exact component based on the
structure of the exact query as required.
- For mutable access (`_mut`), use `Query::get_mut`
- For unchecked access (`_unchecked`), use `Query::get_unchecked`
- For panic variants (non-`get_`), add `.unwrap()`
## Notes
- `QueryComponentError` can be removed once these deprecated methods are
also removed. Due to an interaction with `thiserror`'s derive macro, it
is not marked as deprecated.
Use `TypeIdMap<T>` instead of `HashMap<TypeId, T>`
- ~~`TypeIdMap` was in `bevy_ecs`. I've kept it there because of
#11478~~
- ~~I haven't swapped `bevy_reflect` over because it doesn't depend on
`bevy_ecs`, but I'd also be happy with moving `TypeIdMap` to
`bevy_utils` and then adding a dependency to that~~
- ~~this is a slight change in the public API of
`DrawFunctionsInternal`, does this need to go in the changelog?~~
## Changelog
- moved `TypeIdMap` to `bevy_utils`
- changed `DrawFunctionsInternal::indices` to `TypeIdMap`
## Migration Guide
- `TypeIdMap` now lives in `bevy_utils`
- `DrawFunctionsInternal::indices` now uses a `TypeIdMap`.

# Objective
Currently the `missing_docs` lint is allowed-by-default and enabled at
crate level when their documentations is complete (see #3492).
This PR proposes to inverse this logic by making `missing_docs`
warn-by-default and mark crates with imcomplete docs allowed.
## Solution
Makes `missing_docs` warn at workspace level and allowed at crate level
when the docs is imcomplete.
# Objective
Add interactive system debugging capabilities to bevy, providing
step/break/continue style capabilities to running system schedules.
* Original implementation: #8063
- `ignore_stepping()` everywhere was too much complexity
* Schedule-config & Resource discussion: #8168
- Decided on selective adding of Schedules & Resource-based control
## Solution
Created `Stepping` Resource. This resource can be used to enable
stepping on a per-schedule basis. Systems within schedules can be
individually configured to:
* AlwaysRun: Ignore any stepping state and run every frame
* NeverRun: Never run while stepping is enabled
- this allows for disabling of systems while debugging
* Break: If we're running the full frame, stop before this system is run
Stepping provides two modes of execution that reflect traditional
debuggers:
* Step-based: Only execute one system at a time
* Continue/Break: Run all systems, but stop before running a system
marked as Break
### Demo
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/857742/233630981-99f3bbda-9ca6-4cc4-a00f-171c4946dc47.mov
Breakout has been modified to use Stepping. The game runs normally for a
couple of seconds, then stepping is enabled and the game appears to
pause. A list of Schedules & Systems appears with a cursor at the first
System in the list. The demo then steps forward full frames using the
spacebar until the ball is about to hit a brick. Then we step system by
system as the ball impacts a brick, showing the cursor moving through
the individual systems. Finally the demo switches back to frame stepping
as the ball changes course.
### Limitations
Due to architectural constraints in bevy, there are some cases systems
stepping will not function as a user would expect.
#### Event-driven systems
Stepping does not support systems that are driven by `Event`s as events
are flushed after 1-2 frames. Although game systems are not running
while stepping, ignored systems are still running every frame, so events
will be flushed.
This presents to the user as stepping the event-driven system never
executes the system. It does execute, but the events have already been
flushed.
This can be resolved by changing event handling to use a buffer for
events, and only dropping an event once all readers have read it.
The work-around to allow these systems to properly execute during
stepping is to have them ignore stepping:
`app.add_systems(event_driven_system.ignore_stepping())`. This was done
in the breakout example to ensure sound played even while stepping.
#### Conditional Systems
When a system is stepped, it is given an opportunity to run. If the
conditions of the system say it should not run, it will not.
Similar to Event-driven systems, if a system is conditional, and that
condition is only true for a very small time window, then stepping the
system may not execute the system. This includes depending on any sort
of external clock.
This exhibits to the user as the system not always running when it is
stepped.
A solution to this limitation is to ensure any conditions are consistent
while stepping is enabled. For example, all systems that modify any
state the condition uses should also enable stepping.
#### State-transition Systems
Stepping is configured on the per-`Schedule` level, requiring the user
to have a `ScheduleLabel`.
To support state-transition systems, bevy generates needed schedules
dynamically. Currently it’s very difficult (if not impossible, I haven’t
verified) for the user to get the labels for these schedules.
Without ready access to the dynamically generated schedules, and a
resolution for the `Event` lifetime, **stepping of the state-transition
systems is not supported**
---
## Changelog
- `Schedule::run()` updated to consult `Stepping` Resource to determine
which Systems to run each frame
- Added `Schedule.label` as a `BoxedSystemLabel`, along with supporting
`Schedule::set_label()` and `Schedule::label()` methods
- `Stepping` needed to know which `Schedule` was running, and prior to
this PR, `Schedule` didn't track its own label
- Would have preferred to add `Schedule::with_label()` and remove
`Schedule::new()`, but this PR touches enough already
- Added calls to `Schedule.set_label()` to `App` and `World` as needed
- Added `Stepping` resource
- Added `Stepping::begin_frame()` system to `MainSchedulePlugin`
- Run before `Main::run_main()`
- Notifies any `Stepping` Resource a new render frame is starting
## Migration Guide
- Add a call to `Schedule::set_label()` for any custom `Schedule`
- This is only required if the `Schedule` will be stepped

# Objective
Fix an issue where events are not being dropped after being read. I
believe #10077 introduced this issue. The code currently works as
follows:
1. `EventUpdateSignal` is **shared for all event types**
2. During the fixed update phase, `EventUpdateSignal` is set to true
3. `event_update_system`, **unique per event type**, runs to update
Events<T>
4. `event_update_system` reads value of `EventUpdateSignal` to check if
it should update, and then **resets** the value to false
If there are multiple event types, the first `event_update_system` run
will reset the shared `EventUpdateSignal` signal, preventing other
events from being cleared.
## Solution
I've updated the code to have separate signals per event type and added
a shared signal to notify all systems that the time plugin is installed.
## Changelog
- Fixed bug where events were not being dropped
# Objective
- Deriving `Reflect` for some public ChangeDetection/Tick structs in
bevy_ecs

# Objective
Fixes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11549
Add a doctest example of what a custom implementation of an
`EntityMapper` would look like.
(need to wait until https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11428 is
merged)

# Objective
- Sending and receiving events of the same type in the same system is a
reasonably common need, generally due to event filtering.
- However, actually doing so is non-trivial, as the borrow checker
simultaneous hates mutable and immutable access.
## Solution
- Demonstrate two sensible patterns for doing so.
- Update the `ManualEventReader` docs to be more clear and link to this
example.
