# Objective
- Simplify API and make authoring styles easier
See:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8540#issuecomment-1536177102
## Solution
- The `size`, `min_size`, `max_size`, and `gap` properties have been
replaced by `width`, `height`, `min_width`, `min_height`, `max_width`,
`max_height`, `row_gap`, and `column_gap` properties
---
## Changelog
- Flattened `Style` properties that have a `Size` value directly into
`Style`
## Migration Guide
- The `size`, `min_size`, `max_size`, and `gap` properties have been
replaced by the `width`, `height`, `min_width`, `min_height`,
`max_width`, `max_height`, `row_gap`, and `column_gap` properties. Use
the new properties instead.

# Objective
* `Node::physical_rect` divides the logical size of the node by the
scale factor, when it should multiply.
* Add a `physical_size` method to `Node` that calculates the physical
size of a node.
---
## Changelog
* Added a method `physical_size` to `Node` that calculates the physical
size of the `Node` based on the given scale factor.
* Fixed the `Node::physical_rect` method, the logical size should be
multiplied by the scale factor to get the physical size.
* Removed the `scale_value` function from the `text` widget module and
replaced its usage with `Node::physical_size`.
* Derived `Copy` for `Node` (since it's only a wrapped `Vec2`).
* Made `Node::size` const.
# Objective
A lot of items in `bevy_ui` could be `FromReflect` but aren't. This
prevents users and library authors from being able to convert from a
`dyn Reflect` to one of these items.
## Solution
Derive `FromReflect` where possible. Also register the
`ReflectFromReflect` type data.
Links in the api docs are nice. I noticed that there were several places
where structs / functions and other things were referenced in the docs,
but weren't linked. I added the links where possible / logical.

# Objective
Split the UI overflow enum so that overflow can be set for each axis
separately.
## Solution
Change `Overflow` from an enum to a struct with `x` and `y`
`OverflowAxis` fields, where `OverflowAxis` is an enum with `Clip` and
`Visible` variants. Modify `update_clipping` to calculate clipping for
each axis separately. If only one axis is clipped, the other axis is
given infinite bounds.

## Changelog
* Split the UI overflow implementation so overflow can be set for each
axis separately.
* Added the enum `OverflowAxis` with `Clip` and `Visible` variants.
* Changed `Overflow` to a struct with `x` and `y` fields of type
`OverflowAxis`.
* `Overflow` has new methods `visible()` and `hidden()` that replace its
previous `Clip` and `Visible` variants.
* Added `Overflow` helper methods `clip_x()` and `clip_y()` that return
a new `Overflow` value with the given axis clipped.
* Modified `update_clipping` so it calculates clipping for each axis
separately. If a node is only clipped on a single axis, the other axis
is given `-f32::INFINITY` to `f32::INFINITY` clipping bounds.
## Migration Guide
The `Style` property `Overflow` is now a struct with `x` and `y` fields,
that allow for per-axis overflow control.
Use these helper functions to replace the variants of `Overflow`:
* Replace `Overflow::Visible` with `Overflow::visible()`
* Replace `Overflow::Hidden` with `Overflow::clip()`
# Objective
Fixes#8415.
## Solution
I simply added the missing types to the type registry.
## Changelog
Added `#[reflect(Component]` to `bevi_ui::ui_node::ZIndex`, since it
impls `Component` and `Reflect.`
The following types have been added to the type registry:
1. `bevy_ui::ZIndex`
2. `bevy_math::Rect`
3. `bevy_text::BreakLineOn`
4. `bevy_text::Text2dBounds`
# Objective
An easy way to create 2D grid layouts
## Solution
Enable the `grid` feature in Taffy and add new style types for defining
grids.
## Notes
- ~I'm having a bit of trouble getting `#[derive(Reflect)]` to work
properly. Help with that would be appreciated (EDIT: got it to compile
by ignoring the problematic fields, but this presumably can't be
merged).~ This is now fixed
- ~The alignment types now have a `Normal` variant because I couldn't
get reflect to work with `Option`.~ I've decided to stick with the
flattened variant, as it saves a level of wrapping when authoring
styles. But I've renamed the variants from `Normal` to `Default`.
- ~This currently exposes a simplified API on top of grid. In particular
the following is not currently supported:~
- ~Negative grid indices~ Now supported.
- ~Custom `end` values for grid placement (you can only use `start` and
`span`)~ Now supported
- ~`minmax()` track sizing functions~ minmax is now support through a
`GridTrack::minmax()` constructor
- ~`repeat()`~ repeat is now implemented as `RepeatedGridTrack`
- ~Documentation still needs to be improved.~ An initial pass over the
documentation has been completed.

# Objective
`text_system` runs before the UI layout is calculated and the size of
the text node is determined, so it cannot correctly shape the text to
fit the layout, and has no way of determining if the text needs to be
wrapped.
The function `text_constraint` attempts to determine the size of the
node from the local size constraints in the `Style` component. It can't
be made to work, you have to compute the whole layout to get the correct
size. A simple example of where this fails completely is a text node set
to stretch to fill the empty space adjacent to a node with size
constraints set to `Val::Percent(50.)`. The text node will take up half
the space, even though its size constraints are `Val::Auto`
Also because the `text_system` queries for changes to the `Style`
component, when a style value is changed that doesn't affect the node's
geometry the text is recomputed unnecessarily.
Querying on changes to `Node` is not much better. The UI layout is
changed to fit the `CalculatedSize` of the text, so the size of the node
is changed and so the text and UI layout get recalculated multiple times
from a single change to a `Text`.
Also, the `MeasureFunc` doesn't work at all, it doesn't have enough
information to fit the text correctly and makes no attempt.
Fixes#7663, #6717, #5834, #1490,
## Solution
Split the `text_system` into two functions:
* `measure_text_system` which calculates the size constraints for the
text node and runs before `UiSystem::Flex`
* `text_system` which runs after `UiSystem::Flex` and generates the
actual text.
* Fix the `MeasureFunc` calculations.

## Changelog
* Removed the previous fields from `CalculatedSize`. `CalculatedSize`
now contains a boxed `Measure`.
* Added `measurement` module to `bevy_ui`.
* Added the method `create_text_measure` to `TextPipeline`.
* Added a new system `measure_text_system` that runs before
`UiSystem::Flex` that creates a `MeasureFunc` for the text.
* Rescheduled `text_system` to run after `UiSystem::Flex`.
* Added a trait `Measure`. A `Measure` is used to compute the size of a
UI node when the size of that node is based on its content.
* Added `ImageMeasure` and `TextMeasure` which implement `Measure`.
* Added a new component `UiImageSize` which is used by
`update_image_calculated_size_system` to track image size changes.
* Added a `UiImageSize` component to `ImageBundle`.
## Migration Guide
`ImageBundle` has a new component `UiImageSize` which contains the size
of the image bundle's texture and is updated automatically by
`update_image_calculated_size_system`

# Objective
Add helper functions to `UiImage` for creating flipped images.
## Changelog
* Added `with_flip_x` and `with_flip_y` methods to `UiImage` that return
the `UiImage` flipped along the respective axis.
# Objective
Add viewport variants to `Val` that specify a percentage length based on
the size of the window.
## Solution
Add the variants `Vw`, `Vh`, `VMin` and `VMax` to `Val`.
Add a physical window size parameter to the `from_style` function and
use it to convert the viewport variants to Taffy Points values.
One issue: It isn't responsive to window resizes. So `flex_node_system`
has to do a full update every time the window size changes. Perhaps this
can be fixed with support from Taffy.
---
## Changelog
* Added `Val` viewport unit variants `Vw`, `Vh`, `VMin` and `VMax`.
* Modified `convert` module to support the new `Val` variants.
* Changed `flex_node_system` to support the new `Val` variants.
* Perform full layout update on screen resizing, to propagate the new
viewport size to all nodes.
# Objective
Add comments explaining:
* That `Val::Px` is a value in logical pixels
* That `Val::Percent` is based on the length of its parent along a
specific axis.
* How the layout algorithm determines which axis the percentage should
be based on.
# Objective
Current `Node` doc comment:
```rust
/// The size of the node as width and height in pixels
/// automatically calculated by [`super::flex::flex_node_system`]
```
It should be changed to make it clear that `Node` stores the size in logical pixels, not physical.
# Objective
Upgrade to Taffy 0.3.3
Fixes: #7712
## Solution
Upgrade to Taffy 0.3.3 with the `grid` feature disabled.
---
## Changelog
* Changed Taffy version to 0.3.3 and disabled its `grid` feature.
* Added the `Start` and `End` variants to `AlignItems`, `AlignSelf`, `AlignContent` and `JustifyContent`.
* Added the `SpaceEvenly` variant to `AlignContent`.
* Updated `from_style` for Taffy 0.3.3.
# Objective
The current doc comment for `flex-basis` states that it is "The initial size of the item", which is a bit confusing since size in Bevy is mostly used to refer to two-dimensional extents but `flex-basis` is a one-dimensional value.
It also needs to explain that:
* `flex-basis` sets the initial length of the main axis.
* Overrides `size` on the main axis.
* Obeys the `min_size` and `max_size` constraints.
# Objective
The `size` field of `CalculatedSize` shouldn't be a `Size` as it only ever stores (unscaled) pixel values. By default its fields are `Val::Auto` but these are converted to `0`s before being sent to Taffy.
## Solution
Change the `size` field of `CalculatedSize` to a Vec2.
## Changelog
* Changed the `size` field of `CalculatedSize` to a Vec2.
* Removed the `Val` <-> `f32` conversion code for `CalculatedSize`.
## Migration Guide
* The size field of `CalculatedSize` has been changed to a `Vec2`.
# Objective
The current `AlignSelf` doc comments:
```rust
pub enum AlignSelf {
/// Use the value of [`AlignItems`]
Auto,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will be at the start
FlexStart,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will be at the end
FlexEnd,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::FlexStart`] only this item will be at the center
Center,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will be at the baseline
Baseline,
/// If the parent has [`AlignItems::Center`] only this item will stretch along the whole cross axis
Stretch,
}

The white label at the top of each column is the parent node's `AlignItems` setting.
`AlignSelf` is always applied, not (as the documentation states) only when the parent has `AlignItems::Center` or `AlignItems::FlexStart` set.

# Objective
- Fixes#5529
## Solution
- Add assosciated constants named DEFAULT to as many types as possible
- Add const to as many methods in bevy_ui as possible
I have not applied the same treatment to the bundles in bevy_ui as it would require going into other bevy crates to implement const defaults for structs in bevy_text or relies on UiImage which calls HandleUntyped.typed() which isn't const safe.
Alternatively the defaults could relatively easily be turned into a macro to regain some of the readability and conciseness at the cost of explicitness.
Such a macro that partially implements this exists as a crate here: [const-default](https://docs.rs/const-default/latest/const_default/derive.ConstDefault.html) but does not support enums.
Let me know if there's anything I've missed or if I should push further into other crates.

# Objective
Upgrade to Taffy 0.2
## Solution
Do it
## Changelog
Upgraded to Taffy 0.2, improving UI layout performance significantly and adding the flexbox `gap` property and `AlignContent::SpaceEvenly`.
## Notes
`many_buttons` is 8% faster! speed improvements for more highly nested UIs will be much more dramatic. Great work, Team Taffy.
## Objective
Bevy UI uses a `MeasureFunc` that preserves the aspect ratio of text, not just images. This means that the extent of flex-items containing text may be calculated incorrectly depending on the ratio of the text size compared to the size of its containing node.
Fixes#6748
Related to #6724
with Bevy 0.9:
with this PR (accurately matching the behavior of Flexbox):
## Solution
Only perform the aspect ratio calculations if the uinode contains an image.
## Changelog
* Added a field `preserve_aspect_ratio` to `CalculatedSize`
* The `MeasureFunc` only preserves the aspect ratio when `preserve_aspect_ratio` is true.
* `update_image_calculated_size_system` sets `preserve_aspect_ratio` to true for nodes with images.
# Objective
Fixes #3225, Allow for flippable UI Images
## Solution
Add flip_x and flip_y fields to UiImage, and swap the UV coordinates accordingly in ui_prepare_nodes.
## Changelog
* Changes UiImage to a struct with texture, flip_x, and flip_y fields.
* Adds flip_x and flip_y fields to ExtractedUiNode.
* Changes extract_uinodes to extract the flip_x and flip_y values from UiImage.
* Changes prepare_uinodes to swap the UV coordinates as required.
* Changes UiImage derefs to texture field accesses.
# Objective
Add consistent UI rendering and interaction where deep nodes inside two different hierarchies will never render on top of one-another by default and offer an escape hatch (z-index) for nodes to change their depth.
## The problem with current implementation
The current implementation of UI rendering is broken in that regard, mainly because [it sets the Z value of the `Transform` component based on a "global Z" space](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/crates/bevy_ui/src/update.rs#L43) shared by all nodes in the UI. This doesn't account for the fact that each node's final `GlobalTransform` value will be relative to its parent. This effectively makes the depth unpredictable when two deep trees are rendered on top of one-another.
At the moment, it's also up to each part of the UI code to sort all of the UI nodes. The solution that's offered here does the full sorting of UI node entities once and offers the result through a resource so that all systems can use it.
## Solution
### New ZIndex component
This adds a new optional `ZIndex` enum component for nodes which offers two mechanism:
- `ZIndex::Local(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to its siblings.
- `ZIndex::Global(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to the UI root. This basically allows any node in the tree to "escape" the parent and be ordered relative to the entire UI.
Note that in the current implementation, omitting `ZIndex` on a node has the same result as adding `ZIndex::Local(0)`. Additionally, the "global" stacking context is essentially a way to add your node to the root stacking context, so using `ZIndex::Local(n)` on a root node (one without parent) will share that space with all nodes using `Index::Global(n)`.
### New UiStack resource
This adds a new `UiStack` resource which is calculated from both hierarchy and `ZIndex` during UI update and contains a vector of all node entities in the UI, ordered by depth (from farthest from camera to closest). This is exposed publicly by the bevy_ui crate with the hope that it can be used for consistent ordering and to reduce the amount of sorting that needs to be done by UI systems (i.e. instead of sorting everything by `global_transform.z` in every system, this array can be iterated over).
### New z_index example
This also adds a new z_index example that showcases the new `ZIndex` component. It's also a good general demo of the new UI stack system, because making this kind of UI was very broken with the old system (e.g. nodes would render on top of each other, not respecting hierarchy or insert order at all).
---
## Changelog
- Added the `ZIndex` component to bevy_ui.
- Added the `UiStack` resource to bevy_ui, and added implementation in a new `stack.rs` module.
- Removed the previous Z updating system from bevy_ui, because it was replaced with the above.
- Changed bevy_ui rendering to use UiStack instead of z ordering.
- Changed bevy_ui focus/interaction system to use UiStack instead of z ordering.
- Added a new z_index example.
## ZIndex demo
Here's a demo I wrote to test these features

# Objective
Adds a better interface for performing mathematical operations with UI unit `Val`. Fixes#6080.
## Solution
- Added `try_add` and `try_sub` methods to Val.
- Removed the `Add` and `AddAssign` impls for `Val` that introduced unintuitive and bug-prone behaviour.
- As a consequence of the prior, ~~changed the `Add` and `Sub` impls for the `Size` struct to take a `(Val, Val)` instead of `Vec2`~~ deleted the `Add` and `Sub` impls for the `Size` struct
- Added a `From<(Val, Val)>` impl for the `Size` struct
- Added `evaluate(size: f32)` method that converts from `Val::Percent` to `Val::Px`.
- Added `try_add_with_size` and `try_sub_with_size` methods to `Val`, which evaluate `Val::Percent` values into `Val::Px` values before adding.
---
## Migration Guide
Instead of using the + and - operators, perform calculations on `Val`s using the new `try_add` and `try_sub` methods. Multiplication and division remained unchanged. Also, when adding or subtracting from `Size`, ~~use a `Val` tuple instead of `Vec2`~~ perform the addition on `width` and `height` separately.

Rename the `UiColor` component (and associated fields) to `BackgroundColor` / `background_colorl`.
## Migration Guide
`UiColor` has been renamed to `BackgroundColor`. This change affects `NodeBundle`, `ButtonBundle` and `ImageBundle`. In addition, the corresponding field on `ExtractedUiNode` has been renamed to `background_color` for consistency.
# Objective
Promote the `Rect` utility of `sprite::Rect`, which defines a rectangle
by its minimum and maximum corners, to the `bevy_math` crate to make it
available as a general math type to all crates without the need to
depend on the `bevy_sprite` crate.
Fixes#5575
## Solution
Move `sprite::Rect` into `bevy_math` and fix all uses.
Implement `Reflect` for `Rect` directly into the `bevy_reflect` crate by
having `bevy_reflect` depend on `bevy_math`. This looks like a new
dependency, but the `bevy_reflect` was "cheating" for other math types
by directly depending on `glam` to reflect other math types, thereby
giving the illusion that there was no dependency on `bevy_math`. In
practice conceptually Bevy's math types are reflected into the
`bevy_reflect` crate to avoid a dependency of that crate to a "lower
level" utility crate like `bevy_math` (which in turn would make
`bevy_reflect` be a dependency of most other crates, and increase the
risk of circular dependencies). So this change simply formalizes that
dependency in `Cargo.toml`.
The `Rect` struct is also augmented in this change with a collection of
utility methods to improve its usability. A few uses cases are updated
to use those new methods, resulting is more clear and concise syntax.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Moved the `sprite::Rect` type into `bevy_math`.
### Added
- Added several utility methods to the `math::Rect` type.
## Migration Guide
The `bevy::sprite::Rect` type moved to the math utility crate as
`bevy::math::Rect`. You should change your imports from `use
bevy::sprite::Rect` to `use bevy::math::Rect`.
# Objective
Very small convenience constructors added to `Size`.
Does not change current examples too much but I'm working on a rather complex UI use-case where this cuts down on some extra typing :)

# Objective
Update enums across Bevy to use the new enum reflection and get rid of `#[reflect_value(...)]` usages.
## Solution
Find and replace all[^1] instances of `#[reflect_value(...)]` on enum types.
---
## Changelog
- Updated all[^1] reflected enums to implement `Enum` (i.e. they are no longer `ReflectRef::Value`)
## Migration Guide
Bevy-defined enums have been updated to implement `Enum` and are not considered value types (`ReflectRef::Value`) anymore. This means that their serialized representations will need to be updated. For example, given the Bevy enum:
```rust
pub enum ScalingMode {
None,
WindowSize,
Auto { min_width: f32, min_height: f32 },
FixedVertical(f32),
FixedHorizontal(f32),
}
```
You will need to update the serialized versions accordingly.
```js
// OLD FORMAT
{
"type": "bevy_render:📷:projection::ScalingMode",
"value": FixedHorizontal(720),
},
// NEW FORMAT
{
"type": "bevy_render:📷:projection::ScalingMode",
"enum": {
"variant": "FixedHorizontal",
"tuple": [
{
"type": "f32",
"value": 720,
},
],
},
},
```
This may also have other smaller implications (such as `Debug` representation), but serialization is probably the most prominent.
[^1]: All enums except `HandleId` as neither `Uuid` nor `AssetPathId` implement the reflection traits
# Objective
- Migrate changes from #3503.
## Solution
- Change `Size<T>` and `UiRect<T>` to `Size` and `UiRect` using `Val`.
- Implement `Sub`, `SubAssign`, `Mul`, `MulAssign`, `Div` and `DivAssign` for `Val`.
- Update tests for `Size`.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- The generic `T` of `Size` and `UiRect` got removed and instead they both now always use `Val`.
## Migration Guide
- The generic `T` of `Size` and `UiRect` got removed and instead they both now always use `Val`. If you used a `Size<f32>` consider replacing it with a `Vec2` which is way more powerful.

# Objective
UI nodes can be hidden by setting their `Visibility` property. Since #5310 was merged, this is now ergonomic to use, as visibility is now inherited.
However, UI nodes still receive (and store) interactions when hidden, resulting in surprising hidden state (and an inability to otherwise disable UI nodes.
## Solution
Fixes#5360.
I've updated the `ui_focus_system` to accomplish this in a minimally intrusive way, and updated the docs to match.
**NOTE:** I have not added automated tests to verify this behavior, as we do not currently have a good testing paradigm for `bevy_ui`. I'm not thrilled with that by any means, but I'm not sure fixing it is within scope.
## Paths not taken
### Separate `Disabled` component
This is a much larger and more controversial change, and not well-scoped to UI.
Furthermore, it is extremely rare that you want hidden UI elements to function: the most common cases are for things like changing tabs, collapsing elements or so on.
Splitting this behavior would be more complex, and substantially violate user expectations.
### A separate limbo world
Mentioned in the linked issue. Super cool, but all of the problems of the `Disabled` component solution with a whole new RFC-worth of complexity.
### Using change detection to reduce the amount of redundant work
Adds a lot of complexity for questionable performance gains. Likely involves a complete refactor of the entire system.
We simply don't have the tests or benchmarks here to justify this.

- UI nodes are now always in an `Interaction::None` state while they are hidden (via the `ComputedVisibility` component).
# Objective
- Nightly clippy lints should be fixed before they get stable and break CI
## Solution
- fix new clippy lints
- ignore `significant_drop_in_scrutinee` since it isn't relevant in our loop https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/8987
```rust
for line in io::stdin().lines() {
...

# Objective
Fixes#5153
## Solution
Search for all enums and manually check if they have default impls that can use this new derive.
By my reckoning:
| enum | num |
|-|-|
| total | 159 |
| has default impl | 29 |
| default is unit variant | 23 |
# Objective
- Sometimes, people might load an asset as one type, then use it with an `Asset`s for a different type.
- See e.g. #4784.
- This is especially likely with the Gltf types, since users may not have a clear conceptual model of what types the assets will be.
- We had an instance of this ourselves, in the `scene_viewer` example
## Solution
- Make `Assets::get` require a type safe handle.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- `Assets::<T>::get` and `Assets::<T>::get_mut` now require that the passed handles are `Handle<T>`, improving the type safety of handles.
### Added
- `HandleUntyped::typed_weak`, a helper function for creating a weak typed version of an exisitng `HandleUntyped`.
## Migration Guide
`Assets::<T>::get` and `Assets::<T>::get_mut` now require that the passed handles are `Handle<T>`, improving the type safety of handles. If you were previously passing in:
- a `HandleId`, use `&Handle::weak(id)` instead, to create a weak handle. You may have been able to store a type safe `Handle` instead.
- a `HandleUntyped`, use `&handle_untyped.typed_weak()` to create a weak handle of the specified type. This is most likely to be the useful when using [load_folder](https://docs.rs/bevy_asset/latest/bevy_asset/struct.AssetServer.html#method.load_folder)
- a `Handle<U>` of of a different type, consider whether this is the correct handle type to store. If it is (i.e. the same handle id is used for multiple different Asset types) use `Handle::weak(handle.id)` to cast to a different type.
### Problem
It currently isn't possible to construct the default value of a reflected type. Because of that, it isn't possible to use `add_component` of `ReflectComponent` to add a new component to an entity because you can't know what the initial value should be.
### Solution
1. add `ReflectDefault` type
```rust
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct ReflectDefault {
default: fn() -> Box<dyn Reflect>,
}
impl ReflectDefault {
pub fn default(&self) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {
(self.default)()
}
}
impl<T: Reflect + Default> FromType<T> for ReflectDefault {
fn from_type() -> Self {
ReflectDefault {
default: || Box::new(T::default()),
}
}
}
```
2. add `#[reflect(Default)]` to all component types that implement `Default` and are user facing (so not `ComputedSize`, `CubemapVisibleEntities` etc.)
This makes it possible to add the default value of a component to an entity without any compile-time information:
```rust
fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.register_type::<Camera>();
let type_registry = app.world.get_resource::<TypeRegistry>().unwrap();
let type_registry = type_registry.read();
let camera_registration = type_registry.get(std::any::TypeId::of::<Camera>()).unwrap();
let reflect_default = camera_registration.data::<ReflectDefault>().unwrap();
let reflect_component = camera_registration
.data::<ReflectComponent>()
.unwrap()
.clone();
let default = reflect_default.default();
drop(type_registry);
let entity = app.world.spawn().id();
reflect_component.add_component(&mut app.world, entity, &*default);
let camera = app.world.entity(entity).get::<Camera>().unwrap();
dbg!(&camera);
}
```
### Open questions
- should we have `ReflectDefault` or `ReflectFromWorld` or both?
# Objective
- Closes#335.
- Related #4285.
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Move `Rect` to `bevy_ui` and rename it to `UiRect`.
## Reasons
- `Rect` is only used in `bevy_ui` and therefore calling it `UiRect` makes the intent clearer.
- We have two types that are called `Rect` currently and it's missleading (see `bevy_sprite::Rect` and #335).
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Rect` type got moved from `bevy_math` to `bevy_ui` and renamed to `UiRect`.
## Migration Guide
- The `Rect` type got renamed to `UiRect`. To migrate you just have to change every occurrence of `Rect` to `UiRect`.

# Objective
- Related #4276.
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Move `Size` to `bevy_ui`.
## Reasons
- `Size` is only needed in `bevy_ui` (because it needs to use `Val` instead of `f32`), but it's also used as a worse `Vec2` replacement in other areas.
- `Vec2` is more powerful than `Size` so it should be used whenever possible.
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Size` type got moved from `bevy_math` to `bevy_ui`.
## Migration Guide
- The `Size` type got moved from `bevy::math` to `bevy::ui`. To migrate you just have to import `bevy::ui::Size` instead of `bevy::math::Math` or use the `bevy::prelude` instead.

# Objective
Updated the docs for bevy_ui as requested by #3492
## Solution
I have documented the parts I understand. anchors.rs is not in use and should be removed, thus I haven't documented that, and some of the more renderer-heavy code is beyond me and needs input from either cart or someone familiar with bevy rendering

# Objective
This PR implements the `overflow` style property in `bevy_ui`. When set to `Overflow::Hidden`, the children of that node are clipped so that overflowing parts are not rendered. This is an important building block for UI widgets.
## Solution
Clipping is done on the CPU so that it does not break batching.
The clip regions update was implemented as a separate system for clarity, but it could be merged with the other UI systems to avoid doing an additional tree traversal. (I don't think it's important until we fix the layout performance issues though).
A scrolling list was added to the `ui_pipelined` example to showcase `Overflow::Hidden`. For the sake of simplicity, it can only be scrolled with a mouse.
This makes the [New Bevy Renderer](#2535) the default (and only) renderer. The new renderer isn't _quite_ ready for the final release yet, but I want as many people as possible to start testing it so we can identify bugs and address feedback prior to release.
The examples are all ported over and operational with a few exceptions:
* I removed a good portion of the examples in the `shader` folder. We still have some work to do in order to make these examples possible / ergonomic / worthwhile: #3120 and "high level shader material plugins" are the big ones. This is a temporary measure.
* Temporarily removed the multiple_windows example: doing this properly in the new renderer will require the upcoming "render targets" changes. Same goes for the render_to_texture example.
* Removed z_sort_debug: entity visibility sort info is no longer available in app logic. we could do this on the "render app" side, but i dont consider it a priority.
Mention the fact that the UI layout system is based on the CSS layout
model through a docstring comment on the `Style` type.
# Objective
Explain to new users that the Bevy UI uses the CSS layout model, to lower the barrier to entry given the fact documentation (book and code) is fairly limited on the topic.
## Solution
Fix as discussed with @alice-i-cecile on #2918.
