# Objective
Make `TextLayoutInfo` more accessible as a component, rather than internal to `TextPipeline`. I am working on a plugin that manipulates these and there is no (mutable) access to them right now.
## Solution
This changes `TextPipeline::queue_text` to return `TextLayoutInfo`'s rather than storing them in a map internally. `text2d_system` and `text_system` now take the returned `TextLayoutInfo` and store it as a component of the entity. I considered adding an accessor to `TextPipeline` (e.g. `get_glyphs_mut`) but this seems like it might be a little faster, and also has the added benefit of cleaning itself up when entities are removed. Right now nothing is ever removed from the glyphs map.
## Changelog
Removed `DefaultTextPipeline`. `TextPipeline` no longer has a generic key type. `TextPipeline::queue_text` returns `TextLayoutInfo` directly.
## Migration Guide
This might break a third-party crate? I could restore the orginal TextPipeline API as a wrapper around what's in this PR.
# Objective
Fixes#5882
## Solution
Per https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/issues/1705, the root cause is "UIWindow should be created inside UIApplicationMain". Currently, there are two places to create UIWindow, one is Plugin's build function, which is not inside UIApplicationMain. Just comment it out, and it works.
# Objective
Support monitor selection for all window modes.
Fixes#5875.
## Changelog
* Moved `MonitorSelection` out of `WindowPosition::Centered`, into `WindowDescriptor`.
* `WindowPosition::At` is now relative to the monitor instead of being in 'desktop space'.
* Renamed `MonitorSelection::Number` to `MonitorSelection::Index` for clarity.
* Added `WindowMode` to the prelude.
* `Window::set_position` is now relative to a monitor and takes a `MonitorSelection` as argument.
## Migration Guide
`MonitorSelection` was moved out of `WindowPosition::Centered`, into `WindowDescriptor`.
`MonitorSelection::Number` was renamed to `MonitorSelection::Index`.
```rust
// Before
.insert_resource(WindowDescriptor {
position: WindowPosition::Centered(MonitorSelection::Number(1)),
..default()
})
// After
.insert_resource(WindowDescriptor {
monitor: MonitorSelection::Index(1),
position: WindowPosition::Centered,
..default()
})
```
`Window::set_position` now takes a `MonitorSelection` as argument.
```rust
window.set_position(MonitorSelection::Current, position);
```

# Objective
Clean up taffy nodes when the associated UI node gets removed. The current UI code will keep the taffy nodes around forever.
## Solution
Use `RemovedComponents<Node>` to iterate over nodes that are no longer valid UI nodes or that have been despawned, and remove them from taffy and the internal hash map.
## Implementation Notes
Do note that using `despawn()` instead of `despawn_recursive()` on a UI node that has children will result in a [warnings spam](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/crates/bevy_ui/src/flex/mod.rs#L120) since the children will not be part of a proper UI hierarchy anymore.
---
## Changelog
- Fixed memory leak when nodes are removed in bevy_ui
# Objective
- The `Gamepad` type is a tiny value-containing type that implements `Copy`.
- By convention, references to `Copy` types should be avoided, as they can introduce overhead and muddle the semantics of what's going on.
- This allows us to reduce boilerplate reference manipulation and lifetimes in user facing code.
## Solution
- Make assorted methods on `Gamepads` take / return a raw `Gamepad`, rather than `&Gamepad`.
## Migration Guide
- `Gamepads::iter` now returns an iterator of `Gamepad`. rather than an iterator of `&Gamepad`.
- `Gamepads::contains` now accepts a `Gamepad`, rather than a `&Gamepad`.
## Solution
Exposes the image <-> "texture" as methods on `Image`.
## Extra
I'm wondering if `image_texture_conversion.rs` should be renamed to `image_conversion.rs`. That or the file be deleted altogether in favour of putting the code alongside the rest of the `Image` impl. Its kind-of weird to refer to the `Image` as a texture.
Also `Image::convert` is a public method so I didn't want to edit its signature, but it might be nice to have the function consume the image instead of just passing a reference to it because it would eliminate a clone.
## Changelog
> Rename `image_to_texture` to `Image::from_dynamic`
> Rename `texture_to_image` to `Image::try_into_dynamic`
> `Image::try_into_dynamic` now returns a `Result` (this is to make it easier for users who didn't read that only a few conversions are supported to figure it out.)
# Objective
Document most of the public items of the `bevy_render::camera` module and its
sub-modules.
## Solution
Add docs to most public items. Follow-up from #3447.
# Objective
- Increase consistency across documentation of `Query` methods.
- Fixes#5506
## Solution
- See #4989. This PR is derived from it. It just includes changes to the `Query` methods' docs.
# Objective
Document `PipelineCache` and a few other related types.
## Solution
Add documenting comments to `PipelineCache` and a few other related
types in the same file.
# Objective
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/503 added these.
I don't know what problem it solved, the PR doesn't say and the code didn't make it obvious to me.
## Solution
AFAIK removing unsafe `Send`/`Sync` impls can't introduce unsoundness.
Yeet.
## Migration Guide
Why tho.

# Objective
- Update notify dependency to 5.0.0 stable
- Fix breaking changes
- Closes#5861
## Solution
- RecommendedWatcher now takes a Config argument. Giving it the default Config should be the same behavior as before (check every 30 seconds)
# Objective
- Update ron to 0.8.0
- Fix breaking changes
- Closes#5862
## Solution
- Removed now non-existing method call (behavior is now the same without it)

- Update `Query` docs with better terminology
- add some performance remarks (Fixes#4742)
## Solution
- See #4989. This PR is derived from it. It just includes changes to the `Query` struct docs.
# 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
- In WASM, creating a pipeline can easily take 2 seconds, freezing the game while doing so
- Preloading pipelines can be done during a "loading" state, but it is not trivial to know which pipeline to preload, or when it's done
## Solution
- Add a log with shaders being loaded and their shader defs
- add a function on `PipelineCache` to return the number of ready pipelines
# Objective
- Easier to work with model assets
- Models are often one mesh, many textures. This can be hard to use in Bevy as it's not possible to clone the scene to have one scene for each material. It's still possible to instantiate the texture-less scene, then modify the texture material once spawned but that means happening during play and is quite more painful
## Solution
- Expose the code to clone a scene. This code already existed but was only possible to use to spawn the scene
# Objective
Extend the scope of Gamepad to accommodate devices that have more inputs than a typical controller.
## Solution
Add additional enum variants to both _GamepadButtonType_ and _GamepadAxisType_ that supports up to 255 more non-standard buttons/axis respectively.
## Personal motivation
I have been writing an alternative to the GILRS crate, and with this simple change to the source code, It will be a trivial thing to direct new devices through the bevy systems, even when they do not always behave exactly like your typical controller.
# Objective
- Fixes#5850
## Solution
- As described in the issue, added a `get_entity` method on `Commands` that returns an `Option<EntityCommands>`
## Changelog
- Added the new method with a simple doc test
- I have re-used `get_entity` in `entity`, similarly to how `get_single` is used in `single` while additionally preserving the error message
- Add `#[inline]` to both functions
Entities that have commands queued to despawn system will still return commands when `get_entity` is called but that is representative of the fact that the entity is still around until those commands are flushed.
A potential `contains_entity` could also be added in this PR if desired, that would effectively be replacing Entities.contains but may be more discoverable if this is a common use case.

# Objective
I'm build a UI system for bevy. In this UI system there is a concept of a system per UI entity. I had an issue where change detection wasn't working how I would expect and it's because when a function system is ran the `last_change_tick` is updated with the latest tick(from world). In my particular case I want to "wait" to update the `last_change_tick` until after my system runs for each entity.
## Solution
Initially I thought bypassing the change detection all together would be a good fix, but on talking to some users in discord a simpler fix is to just expose `last_change_tick` to the end users. This is achieved by adding the following to the `System` trait:
```rust
/// Allows users to get the system's last change tick.
fn get_last_change_tick(&self) -> u32;
/// Allows users to set the system's last change tick.
fn set_last_change_tick(&mut self, last_change_tick: u32);
```
This causes a bit of weirdness with two implementors of `System`. `FixedTimestep` and `ChainSystem` both implement system and thus it's required that some sort of implementation be given for the new functions. I solved this by outputting a warning and not doing anything for these systems.
I think it's important to understand why I can't add the new functions only to the function system and not to the `System` trait. In my code I store the systems generically as `Box<dyn System<...>>`. I do this because I have differing parameters that are being passed in depending on the UI widget's system. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to take a system trait and cast it into a specific type without knowing what those parameters are.
In my own code this ends up looking something like:
```rust
// Runs per entity.
let old_tick = widget_system.get_last_change_tick();
should_update_children = widget_system.run((widget_tree.clone(), entity.0), world);
widget_system.set_last_change_tick(old_tick);
// later on after all the entities have been processed:
for system in context.systems.values_mut() {
system.set_last_change_tick(world.read_change_tick());
}
```
## Changelog
- Added `get_last_change_tick` and `set_last_change_tick` to `System`'s.
# Objective
Since `identity` is a const fn that takes no arguments it seems logical to make it an associated constant.
This is also more in line with types from glam (eg. `Quat::IDENTITY`).
## Migration Guide
The method `identity()` on `Transform`, `GlobalTransform` and `TransformBundle` has been deprecated.
Use the associated constant `IDENTITY` instead.

# Objective
- `for_each` methods inconsistently used an actual generic param or `impl Trait` change it to use `impl Trait` always, change them to be consistent
- some methods returned `'w 's` or `'_ '_`, change them to return `'_ 's`
## Solution
- Do what i just said
---
## Changelog
- `iter_unsafe` and `get_unchecked` no longer return borrows tied to `'w`
## Migration Guide
transmute the returned borrow from `iter_unsafe` and `get_unchecked` if this broke you (although preferably find a way to write your code that doesnt need to do this...)
# Objective
Sometimes it's useful to be able to retrieve all the fields of a container type so that they may be processed separately. With reflection, however, we typically only have access to references.
The only alternative is to "clone" the value using `Reflect::clone_value`. This, however, returns a Dynamic type in most cases. The solution there would be to use `FromReflect` instead, but this also has a problem in that it means we need to add `FromReflect` as an additional bound.
## Solution
Add a `drain` method to all container traits. This returns a `Vec<Box<dyn Reflect>>` (except for `Map` which returns `Vec<(Box<dyn Reflect>, Box<dyn Reflect>)>`).
This allows us to do things a lot simpler. For example, if we finished processing a struct and just need a particular value:
```rust
// === OLD === //
/// May or may not return a Dynamic*** value (even if `container` wasn't a `DynamicStruct`)
fn get_output(container: Box<dyn Struct>, output_index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {
container.field_at(output_index).unwrap().clone_value()
}
// === NEW === //
/// Returns _exactly_ whatever was in the given struct
fn get_output(container: Box<dyn Struct>, output_index: usize) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {
container.drain().remove(output_index).unwrap()
}
```
### Discussion
* Is `drain` the best method name? It makes sense that it "drains" all the fields and that it consumes the container in the process, but I'm open to alternatives.
---
## Changelog
* Added a `drain` method to the following traits:
* `Struct`
* `TupleStruct`
* `Tuple`
* `Array`
* `List`
* `Map`
* `Enum`
# Objective
- The reflection `List` trait does not have a `pop` function.
- Popping elements off a list is a common use case and is almost always supported by `List`-like types.
## Solution
- Add the `pop()` method to the `List` trait and add the appropriate implementations of this function.
## Migration Guide
- Any custom type that implements the `List` trait will now need to implement the `pop` method.

## Solution
Implemented as reflect value like the current `Range`. Is there a benefit to changing everything to a reflect struct?
# Objective
remove `insert_resource_with_id` because `insert_resource_by_id` exists and does almost exactly the same thing
blocked on #5587 because otherwise we will leak a resource when it's inserted
## Solution
remove the function and also add a safety invariant of to `insert_resource_by_id` that the id be valid for the world.
I didn't see any discussion in #4447 about this safety invariant being left off in favor of a panic so I'm curious if there was one or if it just seemed nicer to have less safety invariants for callers to uphold 😅
---
## Changelog
- safety invariant added to `insert_resource_by_id` requiring the id to be valid for world
## Migration Guide
- audit any calls to `insert_resource_by_id` making sure that the id is valid for the world

## Solution
`Window::scale_factor` already has logic for selecting the overridden or actual scale factor, so use it.
I tested this with the displays I have access to, but more testing would be nice. This seems like a pretty straightforward bug/fix though.
## Changelog
### Fixed
Fixed window centering on high-dpi displays.
Examples inconsistently use either `TAU`, `PI`, `FRAC_PI_2` or `FRAC_PI_4`.
Often in odd ways and without `use`ing the constants, making it difficult to parse.
* Use `PI` to specify angles.
* General code-quality improvements.
* Fix borked `hierarchy` example.

# Objective
Right now, users have to implement basic system adapters such as `Option` <-> `Result` conversions by themselves. This is slightly annoying and discourages the use of system chaining.
## Solution
Add the module `system_adapter` to the prelude, which contains a collection of common adapters. This is very ergonomic in practice.
## Examples
Convenient early returning.
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
App::new()
// If the system fails, just try again next frame.
.add_system(pet_dog.chain(system_adapter::ignore))
.run();
#[derive(Component)]
struct Dog;
fn pet_dog(dogs: Query<(&Name, Option<&Parent>), With<Dog>>) -> Option<()> {
let (dog, dad) = dogs.iter().next()?;
println!("You pet {dog}. He/she/they are a good boy/girl/pupper.");
let (dad, _) = dogs.get(dad?.get()).ok()?;
println!("Their dad's name is {dad}");
Some(())
}
```
Converting the output of a system
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
App::new()
.add_system(
find_name
.chain(system_adapter::new(String::from))
.chain(spawn_with_name),
)
.run();
fn find_name() -> &'static str { /* ... */ }
fn spawn_with_name(In(name): In<String>, mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn().insert(Name::new(name));
}
```
---
## Changelog
* Added the module `bevy_ecs::prelude::system_adapter`, which contains a collection of common system chaining adapters.
* `new` - Converts a regular fn to a system adapter.
* `unwrap` - Similar to `Result::unwrap`
* `ignore` - Discards the output of the previous system.

Help users who are using `load_folder` in wasm builds to find a slightly shorter path to figuring out why their stuff is broken.
## Solution
Adds a warning to `read_directory` in the `WasmAssetIo`.
This is extremely similar to the warning already emitted a few lines below for `watch_for_changes`.
