# Objective
- Closes#14774
## Solution
Added:
```rust
impl<'w, E, B: Bundle> Trigger<'w, E, B> {
pub fn components(&self) -> &[ComponentId];
}
```
I went with storing it in the trigger as a `SmallVec<[Component; 1]>`
because a singular target component will be the most common case, and it
remains the same size as `Vec<ComponentId>`.
## Testing
Added a test.
# Objective
On mobile devices, it's best to use the OS's native logging due to the
difficulty of accessing the console. This is already done for Android.
This is an updated version of
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4462.
## Solution
This PR uses Absolucy's
[tracing-oslog](https://github.com/Absolucy/tracing-oslog) ([ZLib
license](https://github.com/Absolucy/tracing-oslog/blob/main/LICENSE.md))
for iOS in order to use Apple's `os_log`.
## Testing
I ran `examples/mobile` with the logging from `examples/app/logs.rs` on
an iOS device, I then checked the logs could be filtered in the MacOS
Console.app.
## Changelog
- Change bevy_log to use Apple's os_log on iOS.
## Questions for Reviewers
It's worth noting that the dependency this adds hasn't had bug fixes
released in a few years, so we may want to consider one or more of:
1. a feature flag to opt-in, and it would also allow `os_log` on MacOS
2. merge as-is and have some (minor?) upstream bugs
3. hold off on this PR until a suitable alternative dependency arises
4. maintain our own implementation
## Future work
In a follow-up PR it might be good to make the `subsystem` field have a
better default value, like [this
one](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/examples/mobile/bevy_mobile_example.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj#L363).
That value can be retrieved programmatically if we bind another system
API (For posterity in Swift this is `Bundle.main.bundleIdentifier`, but
the C/ObjC equivalent is likely easier to bind). This would almost
always be the correct value, while the current default is unlikely to
ever be correct.

## Migration guide
Replace references to `bevy_utils::ShortName` with
`disqualified::ShortName`.
This commit adds two new `WorldQuery` types: `EntityRefExcept` and
`EntityMutExcept`. These types work just like `EntityRef` and
`EntityMut`, but they prevent access to a statically-specified list of
components. For example, `EntityMutExcept<(AnimationPlayer,
Handle<AnimationGraph>)>` provides mutable access to all components
except for `AnimationPlayer` and `Handle<AnimationGraph>`. These types
are useful when you need to be able to process arbitrary queries while
iterating over the results of another `EntityMut` query.
The motivating use case is *generalized animation*, which is an upcoming
feature that allows animation of any component property, not just
rotation, translation, scaling, or morph weights. To implement this, we
must change the current `AnyOf<(&mut Transform, &mut MorphWeights)>` to
instead be `EntityMutExcept<(AnimationPlayer, Handle<AnimationGraph>)>`.
It's possible to use `FilteredEntityMut` in conjunction with a
dynamically-generated system instead, but `FilteredEntityMut` isn't
optimized for the use case of a large number of allowed components
coupled with a small set of disallowed components. No amount of
optimization of `FilteredEntityMut` produced acceptable performance on
the `many_foxes` benchmark. `Query<EntityMut, Without<AnimationPlayer>>`
will not suffice either, as it's legal and idiomatic for an
`AnimationTarget` and an `AnimationPlayer` to coexist on the same
entity.
An alternate proposal was to implement a somewhat-more-general
`Except<Q, CL>` feature, where Q is a `WorldQuery` and CL is a
`ComponentList`. I wasn't able to implement that proposal in a
reasonable way, because of the fact that methods like
`EntityMut::get_mut` and `EntityRef::get` are inherent methods instead
of methods on `WorldQuery`, and therefore there was no way to delegate
methods like `get` and `get_mut` to the inner query in a generic way.
Refactoring those methods into a trait would probably be possible.
However, I didn't see a use case for a hypothetical `Except` with
arbitrary queries: `Query<Except<(&Transform, &Visibility),
Visibility>>` would just be a complicated equivalent to
`Query<&Transform>`, for instance. So, out of a desire for simplicity, I
omitted a generic `Except` mechanism.
I've tested the performance of generalized animation on `many_foxes` and
found that, with this patch, `animate_targets` has a 7.4% slowdown over
`main`. With `FilteredEntityMut` optimized to use `Arc<Access>`, the
slowdown is 75.6%, due to contention on the reference count. Without
`Arc<Access>`, the slowdown is even worse, over 2x.
## Testing
New tests have been added that check that `EntityRefExcept` and
`EntityMutExcept` allow and disallow access to components properly and
that the query engine can correctly reject conflicting queries involving
those types.
A Tracy profile of `many_foxes` with 10,000 foxes showing generalized
animation using `FilteredEntityMut` (red) vs. main (yellow) is as
follows:

# Objective
#13152 added support for reflecting functions. Now, we need a way to
register those functions such that they may be accessed anywhere within
the ECS.
## Solution
Added a `FunctionRegistry` type similar to `TypeRegistry`.
This allows a function to be registered and retrieved by name.
```rust
fn foo() -> i32 {
123
}
let mut registry = FunctionRegistry::default();
registry.register("my_function", foo);
let function = registry.get_mut("my_function").unwrap();
let value = function.call(ArgList::new()).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&123));
```
Additionally, I added an `AppFunctionRegistry` resource which wraps a
`FunctionRegistryArc`. Functions can be registered into this resource
using `App::register_function` or by getting a mutable reference to the
resource itself.
### Limitations
#### `Send + Sync`
In order to get this registry to work across threads, it needs to be
`Send + Sync`. This means that `DynamicFunction` needs to be `Send +
Sync`, which means that its internal function also needs to be `Send +
Sync`.
In most cases, this won't be an issue because standard Rust functions
(the type most likely to be registered) are always `Send + Sync`.
Additionally, closures tend to be `Send + Sync` as well, granted they
don't capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables.
This PR adds this `Send + Sync` requirement, but as mentioned above, it
hopefully shouldn't be too big of an issue.
#### Closures
Unfortunately, closures can't be registered yet. This will likely be
explored and added in a followup PR.
### Future Work
Besides addressing the limitations listed above, another thing we could
look into is improving the lookup of registered functions. One aspect is
in the performance of hashing strings. The other is in the developer
experience of having to call `std::any::type_name_of_val` to get the
name of their function (assuming they didn't give it a custom name).
## Testing
You can run the tests locally with:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
---
## Changelog
- Added `FunctionRegistry`
- Added `AppFunctionRegistry` (a `Resource` available from `bevy_ecs`)
- Added `FunctionRegistryArc`
- Added `FunctionRegistrationError`
- Added `reflect_functions` feature to `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`
- `FunctionInfo` is no longer `Default`
- `DynamicFunction` now requires its wrapped function be `Send + Sync`
## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
`DynamicFunction` (both those created manually and those created with
`IntoFunction`), now require `Send + Sync`. All standard Rust functions
should meet that requirement. Closures, on the other hand, may not if
they capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables from its environment.
# Objective
- Make it possible to know *what* changed your component or resource.
- Common need when debugging, when you want to know the last code
location that mutated a value in the ECS.
- This feature would be very useful for the editor alongside system
stepping.
## Solution
- Adds the caller location to column data.
- Mutations now `track_caller` all the way up to the public API.
- Commands that invoke these functions immediately call
`Location::caller`, and pass this into the functions, instead of the
functions themselves attempting to get the caller. This would not work
for commands which are deferred, as the commands are executed by the
scheduler, not the user's code.
## Testing
- The `component_change_detection` example now shows where the component
was mutated:
```
2024-07-28T06:57:48.946022Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(0.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.004371Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(1.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.012738Z WARN component_change_detection: Change detected!
-> value: Ref(MyComponent(1.0))
-> added: false
-> changed: true
-> changed by: examples/ecs/component_change_detection.rs:36:23
```
- It's also possible to inspect change location from a debugger:
<img width="608" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c90ecc7a-0462-457a-80ae-42e7f5d346b4">
---
## Changelog
- Added source locations to ECS change detection behind the
`track_change_detection` flag.
## Migration Guide
- Added `changed_by` field to many internal ECS functions used with
change detection when the `track_change_detection` feature flag is
enabled. Use Location::caller() to provide the source of the function
call.

# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.

- The source code viewer on docs.rs now includes links to the

# Objective
There were some issues with the `serialize` feature:
- `bevy_app` had a `serialize` feature and a dependency on `serde` even
there is no usage of serde at all inside `bevy_app`
- the `bevy_app/serialize` feature enabled `bevy_ecs/serde`, which is
strange
- `bevy_internal/serialize` did not enable `bevy_app/serialize` so there
was no way of serializing an Entity in bevy 0.14
## Solution
- Remove `serde` and `bevy_app/serialize`
- Add a `serialize` flag on `bevy_ecs` that enables `serde`
- ` bevy_internal/serialize` now enables `bevy_ecs/serialize`
# Objective
As was pointed out in #13183, `bevy_mikktspace` is missing it's msrv
from it `Cargo.toml`. This promted me to check the msrv of every
`bevy_*` crate. Closes#13183.
## Solution
- Call `cargo check` with different rust versions on every bevy crate
until it doesn't complain.
- Write down the rust version `cargo check` started working.
## Testing
- Install `cargo-msrv`.
- Run `cargo msrv verify`.
- Rejoice.
---
## Changelog
Every published bevy crate now specifies a MSRV. If your rust toolchain
isn't at least version `1.77.0` You'll likely not be able to compile
most of bevy.
## Migration Guide
If your rust toolchain is bellow version`1.77.0, update.
# Objective
Fixes#12966
## Solution
Renaming multi_threaded feature to match snake case
## Migration Guide
Bevy feature multi-threaded should be refered to multi_threaded from now
on.
# Objective
Minimize the number of dependencies low in the tree.
## Solution
* Remove the dependency on rustc-hash in bevy_ecs (not used) and
bevy_macro_utils (only used in one spot).
* Deduplicate the dependency on `sha1_smol` with the existing blake3
dependency already being used for bevy_asset.
* Remove the unused `ron` dependency on `bevy_app`
* Make the `serde` dependency for `bevy_ecs` optional. It's only used
for serializing Entity.
* Change the `wgpu` dependency to `wgpu-types`, and make it optional for
`bevy_color`.
* Remove the unused `thread-local` dependency on `bevy_render`.
* Make multiple dependencies for `bevy_tasks` optional and enabled only
when running with the `multi-threaded` feature. Preferably they'd be
disabled all the time on wasm, but I couldn't find a clean way to do
this.

## Changelog
- Removed `bevy_debug_stepping` from default features

The system-by-system stepping feature is now disabled by default; to use
it, enable the `bevy_debug_stepping` feature explicitly:
```toml
[dependencies]
bevy = { version = "0.14", features = ["bevy_debug_stepping"] }
```
Code using
[`Stepping`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/ecs/schedule/struct.Stepping.html)
will still compile with the feature disabled, but will print a runtime
error message to the console if the application attempts to enable
stepping.

# Objective
Improve code quality involving fixedbitset.
## Solution
Update to fixedbitset 0.5. Use the new `grow_and_insert` function
instead of `grow` and `insert` functions separately.
This should also speed up most of the set operations involving
fixedbitset. They should be ~2x faster, but testing this against the
stress tests seems to show little to no difference. The multithreaded
executor doesn't seem to be all that much faster in many_cubes and
many_foxes. These use cases are likely dominated by other operations or
the bitsets aren't big enough to make them the bottleneck.
This introduces a duplicate dependency due to petgraph and wgpu, but the
former may take some time to update.
## Changelog
Removed: `Access::grow`
## Migration Guide
`Access::grow` has been removed. It's no longer needed. Remove all
references to it.
# Objective
Fix missing `TextBundle` (and many others) which are present in the main
crate as default features but optional in the sub-crate. See:
- https://docs.rs/bevy/0.13.0/bevy/ui/node_bundles/index.html
- https://docs.rs/bevy_ui/0.13.0/bevy_ui/node_bundles/index.html
~~There are probably other instances in other crates that I could track
down, but maybe "all-features = true" should be used by default in all
sub-crates? Not sure.~~ (There were many.) I only noticed this because
rust-analyzer's "open docs" features takes me to the sub-crate, not the
main one.
## Solution
Add "all-features = true" to docs.rs metadata for crates that use
features.
## Changelog
### Changed
- Unified features documented on docs.rs between main crate and
sub-crates
# Objective
Make bevy_utils less of a compilation bottleneck. Tackle #11478.
## Solution
* Move all of the directly reexported dependencies and move them to
where they're actually used.
* Remove the UUID utilities that have gone unused since `TypePath` took
over for `TypeUuid`.
* There was also a extraneous bytemuck dependency on `bevy_core` that
has not been used for a long time (since `encase` became the primary way
to prepare GPU buffers).
* Remove the `all_tuples` macro reexport from bevy_ecs since it's
accessible from `bevy_utils`.

## Changelog
Removed: Many of the reexports from bevy_utils (petgraph, uuid, nonmax,
smallvec, and thiserror).
Removed: bevy_core's reexports of bytemuck.
## Migration Guide
bevy_utils' reexports of petgraph, uuid, nonmax, smallvec, and thiserror
have been removed.
bevy_core' reexports of bytemuck's types has been removed.
Add them as dependencies in your own crate instead.
# Objective
Adoption of #2104 and #11843. The `Option<usize>` wastes 3-7 bytes of
memory per potential entry, and represents a scaling memory overhead as
the ID space grows.
The goal of this PR is to reduce memory usage without significantly
impacting common use cases.
Co-Authored By: @NathanSWard
Co-Authored By: @tygyh
## Solution
Replace `usize` in `SparseSet`'s sparse array with
`nonmax::NonMaxUsize`. NonMaxUsize wraps a NonZeroUsize, and applies a
bitwise NOT to the value when accessing it. This allows the compiler to
niche the value and eliminate the extra padding used for the `Option`
inside the sparse array, while moving the niche value from 0 to
usize::MAX instead.
Checking the [diff in x86 generated
assembly](6e4da653cc),
this change actually results in fewer instructions generated. One
potential downside is that it seems to have moved a load before a
branch, which means we may be incurring a cache miss even if the element
is not there.
Note: unlike #2104 and #11843, this PR only targets the metadata stores
for the ECS and not the component storage itself. Due to #9907 targeting
`Entity::generation` instead of `Entity::index`, `ComponentSparseSet`
storing only up to `u32::MAX` elements would become a correctness issue.
This will come with a cost when inserting items into the SparseSet, as
now there is a potential for a panic. These cost are really only
incurred when constructing a new Table, Archetype, or Resource that has
never been seen before by the World. All operations that are fairly cold
and not on any particular hotpath, even for command application.
---
## Changelog
Changed: `SparseSet` now can only store up to `usize::MAX - 1` elements
instead of `usize::MAX`.
Changed: `SparseSet` now uses 33-50% less memory overhead per stored
item.
# 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
`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
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.

Co-authored-by: François <mockersf@gmail.com>
# 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
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,

- Removed `EntityHashMap`'s first generic argument. It is now hardcoded
to always be `Entity`.
## Migration Guide
- Uses of `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,

- Uses of `EntityHashMap` no longer have to specify the first generic

# 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

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
- Update async channel to v2.
## Solution
- async channel doesn't support `send_blocking` on wasm anymore. So
don't compile the pipelined rendering plugin on wasm anymore.
- Replaces https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10405
## Migration Guide
- The `PipelinedRendering` plugin is no longer exported on wasm. If you
are including it in your wasm builds you should remove it.
```rust
#[cfg(all(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))]
app.add_plugins(bevy_render::pipelined_rendering::PipelinedRenderingPlugin);
```

# Objective
This dependency is seemingly no longer used directly after #7267.
Unfortunately, this doesn't fix us having versions of `event-listener`
in our tree.
Closes#10654
## Solution
Remove it, see if anything breaks.
# Objective
- Fix adding `#![allow(clippy::type_complexity)]` everywhere. like #9796
## Solution
- Use the new [lints] table that will land in 1.74
(https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#lints)
- inherit lint to the workspace, crates and examples.
```
[lints]
workspace = true
```
## Changelog
- Bump rust version to 1.74
- Enable lints table for the workspace
```toml
[workspace.lints.clippy]
type_complexity = "allow"
```
- Allow type complexity for all crates and examples
```toml
[lints]
workspace = true

# Objective
Fixes#9113
## Solution
disable `multi-threaded` default feature
## Migration Guide
The `multi-threaded` feature in `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_tasks` is no longer
enabled by default. However, this remains a default feature for the
umbrella `bevy` crate. If you depend on `bevy_ecs` or `bevy_tasks`
directly, you should consider enabling this to allow systems to run in
parallel.

I created this manually as Github didn't want to run CI for the
workflow-generated PR. I'm guessing we didn't hit this in previous
releases because we used bors.
Co-authored-by: Bevy Auto Releaser <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
# Objective
Fixes#6689.
## Solution
Add `single-threaded` as an optional non-default feature to `bevy_ecs`
and `bevy_tasks` that:
- disable the `ParallelExecutor` as a default runner
- disables the multi-threaded `TaskPool`
- internally replace `QueryParIter::for_each` calls with
`Query::for_each`.
Removed the `Mutex` and `Arc` usage in the single-threaded task pool.
## Future Work/TODO
Create type aliases for `Mutex`, `Arc` that change to single-threaaded
equivalents where possible.
---
## Changelog
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
- Handle dangling entity references inside scenes
- Handle references to entities with generation > 0 inside scenes
- Fix a latent bug in `Parent`'s `MapEntities` implementation, which
would, if the parent was outside the scene, cause the scene to be loaded
into the new world with a parent reference potentially pointing to some
random entity in that new world.
- Fixes#4793 and addresses #7235
## Solution
- DynamicScenes now identify entities with a `Entity` instead of a u32,
therefore including generation
- `World` exposes a new `reserve_generations` function that despawns an
entity and advances its generation by some extra amount.
- `MapEntities` implementations have a new `get_or_reserve` function
available that will always return an `Entity`, establishing a new
mapping to a dead entity when the entity they are called with is not in
the `EntityMap`. Subsequent calls with that same `Entity` will return
the same newly created dead entity reference, preserving equality
semantics.
- As a result, after loading a scene containing references to dead
entities (or entities otherwise outside the scene), those references
will all point to different generations on a single entity id in the new
world.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- In serialized scenes, entities are now identified by a u64 instead of
a u32.
- In serialized scenes, components with entity references now have those
references serialize as u64s instead of structs.
### Fixed
- Scenes containing components with entity references will now
deserialize and add to a world reliably.
## Migration Guide
- `MapEntities` implementations must change from a `&EntityMap`
parameter to a `&mut EntityMapper` parameter and can no longer return a
`Result`. Finally, they should switch from calling `EntityMap::get` to
calling `EntityMapper::get_or_reserve`.

# Objective
- Followup #6587.
- Minimal integration for the Stageless Scheduling RFC: https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/45
## Solution
- [x] Remove old scheduling module
- [x] Migrate new methods to no longer use extension methods
- [x] Fix compiler errors
- [x] Fix benchmarks
- [x] Fix examples
- [x] Fix docs
- [x] Fix tests
## Changelog
### Added
- a large number of methods on `App` to work with schedules ergonomically
- the `CoreSchedule` enum
- `App::add_extract_system` via the `RenderingAppExtension` trait extension method
- the private `prepare_view_uniforms` system now has a public system set for scheduling purposes, called `ViewSet::PrepareUniforms`
### Removed
- stages, and all code that mentions stages
- states have been dramatically simplified, and no longer use a stack
- `RunCriteriaLabel`
- `AsSystemLabel` trait
- `on_hierarchy_reports_enabled` run criteria (now just uses an ad hoc resource checking run condition)
- systems in `RenderSet/Stage::Extract` no longer warn when they do not read data from the main world
- `RunCriteriaLabel`
- `transform_propagate_system_set`: this was a nonstandard pattern that didn't actually provide enough control. The systems are already `pub`: the docs have been updated to ensure that the third-party usage is clear.
### Changed
- `System::default_labels` is now `System::default_system_sets`.
- `App::add_default_labels` is now `App::add_default_sets`
- `CoreStage` and `StartupStage` enums are now `CoreSet` and `StartupSet`
- `App::add_system_set` was renamed to `App::add_systems`
- The `StartupSchedule` label is now defined as part of the `CoreSchedules` enum
- `.label(SystemLabel)` is now referred to as `.in_set(SystemSet)`
- `SystemLabel` trait was replaced by `SystemSet`
- `SystemTypeIdLabel<T>` was replaced by `SystemSetType<T>`
- The `ReportHierarchyIssue` resource now has a public constructor (`new`), and implements `PartialEq`
- Fixed time steps now use a schedule (`CoreSchedule::FixedTimeStep`) rather than a run criteria.
- Adding rendering extraction systems now panics rather than silently failing if no subapp with the `RenderApp` label is found.
- the `calculate_bounds` system, with the `CalculateBounds` label, is now in `CoreSet::Update`, rather than in `CoreSet::PostUpdate` before commands are applied.
- `SceneSpawnerSystem` now runs under `CoreSet::Update`, rather than `CoreStage::PreUpdate.at_end()`.
- `bevy_pbr::add_clusters` is no longer an exclusive system
- the top level `bevy_ecs::schedule` module was replaced with `bevy_ecs::scheduling`
- `tick_global_task_pools_on_main_thread` is no longer run as an exclusive system. Instead, it has been replaced by `tick_global_task_pools`, which uses a `NonSend` resource to force running on the main thread.
## Migration Guide
- Calls to `.label(MyLabel)` should be replaced with `.in_set(MySet)`
- Stages have been removed. Replace these with system sets, and then add command flushes using the `apply_system_buffers` exclusive system where needed.
- The `CoreStage`, `StartupStage, `RenderStage` and `AssetStage` enums have been replaced with `CoreSet`, `StartupSet, `RenderSet` and `AssetSet`. The same scheduling guarantees have been preserved.
- Systems are no longer added to `CoreSet::Update` by default. Add systems manually if this behavior is needed, although you should consider adding your game logic systems to `CoreSchedule::FixedTimestep` instead for more reliable framerate-independent behavior.
- Similarly, startup systems are no longer part of `StartupSet::Startup` by default. In most cases, this won't matter to you.
- For example, `add_system_to_stage(CoreStage::PostUpdate, my_system)` should be replaced with
- `add_system(my_system.in_set(CoreSet::PostUpdate)`
- When testing systems or otherwise running them in a headless fashion, simply construct and run a schedule using `Schedule::new()` and `World::run_schedule` rather than constructing stages
- Run criteria have been renamed to run conditions. These can now be combined with each other and with states.
- Looping run criteria and state stacks have been removed. Use an exclusive system that runs a schedule if you need this level of control over system control flow.
- For app-level control flow over which schedules get run when (such as for rollback networking), create your own schedule and insert it under the `CoreSchedule::Outer` label.
- Fixed timesteps are now evaluated in a schedule, rather than controlled via run criteria. The `run_fixed_timestep` system runs this schedule between `CoreSet::First` and `CoreSet::PreUpdate` by default.
- Command flush points introduced by `AssetStage` have been removed. If you were relying on these, add them back manually.
- Adding extract systems is now typically done directly on the main app. Make sure the `RenderingAppExtension` trait is in scope, then call `app.add_extract_system(my_system)`.
- the `calculate_bounds` system, with the `CalculateBounds` label, is now in `CoreSet::Update`, rather than in `CoreSet::PostUpdate` before commands are applied. You may need to order your movement systems to occur before this system in order to avoid system order ambiguities in culling behavior.
- the `RenderLabel` `AppLabel` was renamed to `RenderApp` for clarity
- `App::add_state` now takes 0 arguments: the starting state is set based on the `Default` impl.
- Instead of creating `SystemSet` containers for systems that run in stages, simply use `.on_enter::<State::Variant>()` or its `on_exit` or `on_update` siblings.
- `SystemLabel` derives should be replaced with `SystemSet`. You will also need to add the `Debug`, `PartialEq`, `Eq`, and `Hash` traits to satisfy the new trait bounds.
- `with_run_criteria` has been renamed to `run_if`. Run criteria have been renamed to run conditions for clarity, and should now simply return a bool.
- States have been dramatically simplified: there is no longer a "state stack". To queue a transition to the next state, call `NextState::set`
## TODO

## Points of Difficulty and Controversy
**Reviewers, please give feedback on these and look closely**
1. Default sets, from the RFC, have been removed. These added a tremendous amount of implicit complexity and result in hard to debug scheduling errors. They're going to be tackled in the form of "base sets" by @cart in a followup.
2. The outer schedule controls which schedule is run when `App::update` is called.
3. I implemented `Label for `Box<dyn Label>` for our label types. This enables us to store schedule labels in concrete form, and then later run them. I ran into the same set of problems when working with one-shot systems. We've previously investigated this pattern in depth, and it does not appear to lead to extra indirection with nested boxes.
4. `SubApp::update` simply runs the default schedule once. This sucks, but this whole API is incomplete and this was the minimal changeset.
5. `time_system` and `tick_global_task_pools_on_main_thread` no longer use exclusive systems to attempt to force scheduling order
6. Implemetnation strategy for fixed timesteps
7. `AssetStage` was migrated to `AssetSet` without reintroducing command flush points. These did not appear to be used, and it's nice to remove these bottlenecks.
8. Migration of `bevy_render/lib.rs` and pipelined rendering. The logic here is unusually tricky, as we have complex scheduling requirements.
## Future Work (ideally before 0.10)
- Rename schedule_v3 module to schedule or scheduling
- Add a derive macro to states, and likely a `EnumIter` trait of some form
- Figure out what exactly to do with the "systems added should basically work by default" problem
- Improve ergonomics for working with fixed timesteps and states
- Polish FixedTime API to match Time
- Rebase and merge #7415
- Resolve all internal ambiguities (blocked on better tools, especially #7442)
- Add "base sets" to replace the removed default sets.
# Objective
Currently for entities we serialize only `id`. But this is not very expected behavior. For example, in networking, when the server sends its state, it contains entities and components. On the client, I create new objects and map them (using `EntityMap`) to those received from the server (to know which one matches which). And if `generation` field is missing, this mapping can be broken. Example:
1. Server sends an entity `Entity{ id: 2, generation: 1}` with components.
2. Client puts the received entity in a map and create a new entity that maps to this received entity. The new entity have different `id` and `generation`. Let's call it `Entity{ id: 12, generation: 4}`.
3. Client sends a command for `Entity{ id: 12, generation: 4}`. To do so, it maps local entity to the one from server. But `generation` field is 0 because it was omitted for serialization on the server. So it maps to `Entity{ id: 2, generation: 0}`.
4. Server receives `Entity{ id: 2, generation: 0}` which is invalid.
In my game I worked around it by [writing custom serialization](https://github.com/dollisgame/dollis/blob/master/src/core/network/entity_serde.rs) and using `serde(with = "...")`. But it feels like a bad default to me.
Using `Entity` over a custom `NetworkId` also have the following advantages:
1. Re-use `MapEntities` trait to map `Entity`s in replicated components.
2. Instead of server `Entity <-> NetworkId ` and `Entity <-> NetworkId`, we map entities only on client.
3. No need to handling uniqueness. It's a rare case, but makes things simpler. For example, I don't need to query for a resource to create an unique ID.
Closes#6143.
## Solution
Use default serde impls. If anyone want to avoid wasting memory on `generation`, they can create a new type that holds `u32`. This is what Bevy do for [DynamicEntity](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/scene/struct.DynamicEntity.html) to serialize scenes. And I don't see any use case to serialize an entity id expect this one.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Entity now serializes / deserializes `generation` field.
## Migration Guide
- Entity now fully serialized. If you want to serialze only `id`, as it was before, you can create a new type that wraps `u32`.
# Objective
While using the ParallelExecutor, systems do not actually start until `prepare_systems` completes. In stages where there are large numbers of "empty" systems with very little work to do, this delay adds significant overhead, which can add up over many stages.
## Solution
Immediately and synchronously signal the start of systems that can run without dependencies inside `prepare_systems` instead of waiting for the first executor iteration after `prepare_systems` completes. Any system that is dependent on them still cannot run until after `prepare_systems` completes, but there are a large number of unconstrained systems in the base engine where this is a general benefit in almost every case.
## Performance
This change was tested against `many_foxes` in the default configuration. As this change is sensitive to the overhead around scheduling systems, the spans for measuring system timing, system overhead, and system commands were all commented out for these measurements.
The median stage timings between `main` and this PR are as follows:
|stage|main|this PR|

|Prepare|554.49 us|502.53 us|
|Queue|216.29 us|207.51 us|
|Sort|67.03 us|60.99 us|
|Render|1.73 ms|1.58 ms|
|Cleanup|33.55 us|30.76 us|
|Clear Entities|18.56 us|17.05 us|
|**full frame**|**11.9 ms**|**10.91 ms**|
For the first few stages, the benefit is small but cumulative over each. For PostUpdate in particular, this allows `parent_update` to run while prepare_systems is running, which is required for the animation and transform propagation systems, which dominate the time spent in the stage, but also frontloads the contention as the other "empty" systems are also running while `parent_update` is running. For Render, where there is just a single large exclusive system, the benefit comes from not waiting on a spuriously scheduled task on the task pool to kick off the system: it's immediately scheduled to run.
