Visibility is currently entirely local. Set a parent entity to be invisible, and the children are still visible. This makes it hard for users to hide entire hierarchies of entities.
Additionally, the semantics of `Visibility` vs `ComputedVisibility` are inconsistent across entity types. 3D meshes use `ComputedVisibility` as the "definitive" visibility component, with `Visibility` being just one data source. Sprites just use `Visibility`, which means they can't feed off of `ComputedVisibility` data, such as culling information, RenderLayers, and (added in this pr) visibility inheritance information.
## Solution
Splits `ComputedVisibilty::is_visible` into `ComputedVisibilty::is_visible_in_view` and `ComputedVisibilty::is_visible_in_hierarchy`. For each visible entity, `is_visible_in_hierarchy` is computed by propagating visibility down the hierarchy. The `ComputedVisibility::is_visible()` function combines these two booleans for the canonical "is this entity visible" function.
Additionally, all entities that have `Visibility` now also have `ComputedVisibility`. Sprites, Lights, and UI entities now use `ComputedVisibility` when appropriate.
This means that in addition to visibility inheritance, everything using Visibility now also supports RenderLayers. Notably, Sprites (and other 2d objects) now support `RenderLayers` and work properly across multiple views.
Also note that this does increase the amount of work done per sprite. Bevymark with 100,000 sprites on `main` runs in `0.017612` seconds and this runs in `0.01902`. That is certainly a gap, but I believe the api consistency and extra functionality this buys us is worth it. See [this thread](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5146#issuecomment-1182783452) for more info. Note that #5146 in combination with #5114 _are_ a viable alternative to this PR and _would_ perform better, but that comes at the cost of api inconsistencies and doing visibility calculations in the "wrong" place. The current visibility system does have potential for performance improvements. I would prefer to evolve that one system as a whole rather than doing custom hacks / different behaviors for each feature slice.
Here is a "split screen" example where the left camera uses RenderLayers to filter out the blue sprite.
Note that this builds directly on #5146 and that @james7132 deserves the credit for the baseline visibility inheritance work. This pr moves the inherited visibility field into `ComputedVisibility`, then does the additional work of porting everything to `ComputedVisibility`. See my [comments here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5146#issuecomment-1182783452) for rationale.
## Follow up work
* Now that lights use ComputedVisibility, VisibleEntities now includes "visible lights" in the entity list. Functionally not a problem as we use queries to filter the list down in the desired context. But we should consider splitting this out into a separate`VisibleLights` collection for both clarity and performance reasons. And _maybe_ even consider scoping `VisibleEntities` down to `VisibleMeshes`?.
* Investigate alternative sprite rendering impls (in combination with visibility system tweaks) that avoid re-generating a per-view fixedbitset of visible entities every frame, then checking each ExtractedEntity. This is where most of the performance overhead lives. Ex: we could generate ExtractedEntities per-view using the VisibleEntities list, avoiding the need for the bitset.
* Should ComputedVisibility use bitflags under the hood? This would cut down on the size of the component, potentially speed up the `is_visible()` function, and allow us to cheaply expand ComputedVisibility with more data (ex: split out local visibility and parent visibility, add more culling classes, etc).
---
## Changelog
* ComputedVisibility now takes hierarchy visibility into account.
* 2D, UI and Light entities now use the ComputedVisibility component.
## Migration Guide
If you were previously reading `Visibility::is_visible` as the "actual visibility" for sprites or lights, use `ComputedVisibilty::is_visible()` instead:
```rust
// before (0.7)
fn system(query: Query<&Visibility>) {
for visibility in query.iter() {
if visibility.is_visible {
log!("found visible entity");
}
}
}
// after (0.8)
fn system(query: Query<&ComputedVisibility>) {
for visibility in query.iter() {
if visibility.is_visible() {
log!("found visible entity");
}
}
}
```

# Objective
Rust's nightly builds semi-regularly break us (or our dependencies). This creates churn and angst when we're just trying to get our jobs done.
We do still want nightly builds for a variety of reasons:
* cargo-udeps requires nightly and likely always will.
* Helps us catch rust nightly bugs quickly. We're "good citizens" if we regularly report regressions.
* Lets us prepare for "actual expected breakage" ahead of stable releases so we avoid breaking main users.
## Solution
* This pr parameterizes the nightly toolchain, making it an easy one-liner to pin our builds to a specific nightly, when required.
* Put nightly jobs to check wasm and nightly on their own matrix. I also removed tests on nightly linux, just build check
* alternative to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5329

# Objective
- Showcase how to use a `Material` and `Mesh` to spawn 3d lines
## Solution
- Add an example using a simple `Material` and `Mesh` definition to draw a 3d line
- Shows how to use `LineList` and `LineStrip` in combination with a specialized `Material`
## Notes
This isn't just a primitive shape because it needs a special Material, but I think it's a good showcase of the power of the `Material` and `AsBindGroup` abstractions. All of this is easy to figure out when you know these options are a thing, but I think they are hard to discover which is why I think this should be an example and not shipped with bevy.

# Objective
- There is a warning when building in release:
```
warning: unused import: `Local`
--> crates/bevy_render/src/extract_resource.rs:4:34
|
4 | use bevy_ecs::system::{Commands, Local, Res, ResMut, Resource};
| ^^^^^
|
= note: `#[warn(unused_imports)]` on by default
```
- It's used 814f8d1635/crates/bevy_render/src/extract_resource.rs (L45)
- Fix it
## Solution
- Gate the import
# Objective
- Closes#4954
- Reduce the complexity of the `{System, App, *}Label` APIs.
## Solution
For the sake of brevity I will only refer to `SystemLabel`, but everything applies to all of the other label types as well.
- Add `SystemLabelId`, a lightweight, `copy` struct.
- Convert custom types into `SystemLabelId` using the trait `SystemLabel`.
## Changelog
- String literals implement `SystemLabel` for now, but this should be changed with #4409 .
## Migration Guide
- Any previous use of `Box<dyn SystemLabel>` should be replaced with `SystemLabelId`.
- `AsSystemLabel` trait has been modified.
- No more output generics.
- Method `as_system_label` now returns `SystemLabelId`, removing an unnecessary level of indirection.
- If you *need* a label that is determined at runtime, you can use `Box::leak`. Not recommended.
## Questions for later
* Should we generate a `Debug` impl along with `#[derive(*Label)]`?
* Should we rename `as_str()`?
* Should we remove the extra derives (such as `Hash`) from builtin `*Label` types?
* Should we automatically derive types like `Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq`?
* More-ergonomic comparisons between `Label` and `LabelId`.
* Move `Dyn{Eq, Hash,Clone}` somewhere else.
* Some API to make interning dynamic labels easier.
* Optimize string representation
* Empty string for unit structs -- no debug info but faster comparisons
* Don't show enum types -- same tradeoffs as asbove.
This replaces `rand` with `fastrand` as the source of randomness for `HandleId::new()` in `bevy_asset`. This was the only crate with a dependency on `rand`, and now the dependency exists only as a dev-dependency.
`fastrand` was already in the dependency tree, thanks to `futures-lite`, `async-executor`, and `tempfile` to name a few.
## Changelog
Removed `rand` from dependencies in `bevy_asset` in favor of existing in-tree `fast-rand`

Following https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5124 I decided to add the `ExactSizeIterator` impl for `QueryCombinationIter`.
Also:
- Clean up the tests for `size_hint` and `len` for both the normal `QueryIter` and `QueryCombinationIter`.
- Add tests to `QueryCombinationIter` when it shouldn't be `ExactSizeIterator`
---
## Changelog
- Added `ExactSizeIterator` implementation for `QueryCombinatonIter`
# Objective
- `.iter_combinations_*()` cannot be used on custom derived `WorldQuery`, so this fixes that
- Fixes#5284
## Solution
- `#[derive(Clone)]` on the `Fetch` of the proc macro derive.
- `#[derive(Clone)]` for `AnyOf` to satisfy tests.
Someone noted that the `rotate_around` method did not give the results they expected: [discord thread](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/996497295325544479)
I tested `rotate_around` and their workaround and it seems like it was indeed incorrect.
Here is a scene with some cubes at different angles all being rotated around the center on the Y axis.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29694403/178598432-407d7e80-1caf-4b17-b69b-66d9156c81e1.mp4
Interestingly, the middle cube rotates as you might expect. This threw me for a bit of a loop before I added the other cubes to the test haha.
Here is the same scene with the order multiplication of the quaternions flipped in `rotate_around`.
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29694403/178598446-a98026f3-524c-448b-8437-4d0d3175c6ca.mp4
That looks better :)
## Changelog
* Fixed `rotate_around` rotating the wrong way around
* Added `translate_around`. - Split out the translation code from `rotate_around`.
* Simplified/optimized `rotate_local_*` methods. - Yep, That works somehow.
<sup>Quaternions sure are wacky. Do not ask me how this works exactly, haha.</sup>

Generally a good idea.
I ran into this because I wanted to store `Gamepads` in a wrapper struct in https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/pull/168.
This PR allows the `Debug` derive used there to continue working. I could workaround this with a custom impl, but a PR upstream seemed like the right fix.
# Objective
Improve documentation, information users of the limitations in bevy's idiomatic patterns, and suggesting alternatives for when those limitations are encountered.
## Solution
* Add documentation to `Commands` informing the user of the option of writing one-shot commands with closures.
* Add documentation to `EventWriter` regarding the limitations of event types, and suggesting alternatives using commands.
# Objective
Fixes#5304
## Solution
Instead of using a simple utility function for loading, which uses a default allocation limit of 512MB, we use a Reader object which can be configured ad hoc.
## Changelog
> This section is optional. If this was a trivial fix, or has no externally-visible impact, you can delete this section.
- Allows loading of textures larger than 512MB
# Objective
- Wireframes are currently not rendering on main because they aren't being extracted correctly
## Solution
- Extract the wireframes correctly
# Objective
When someone searches in rustdoc for `world_to_screen`, they now will
find `world_to_viewport`. The method was renamed in 0.8, it would be
nice to allow users to find the new name more easily.

# Objective
This PR aims to document the `bevy_asset` crate to complete coverage, while also trying to improve some bits of UX.
### Progress
- [x] Root items
- [x] `handle` module
- [x] `info` module
- [x] `path` module
- [x] `loader` module
- [x] `io` and `filesystem_watcher` module

- [x] `diagnostic` module
- [x] `debug_asset_server` module
- [x] Crate level documentation
- [x] Add `#![warn(missing_docs)]` lint
Coverage: 100%
## Migration Guide
- Rename `FileAssetIo::get_root_path` uses to `FileAssetIo::get_base_path`
`FileAssetIo::root_path()` is a getter for the `root_path` field, while `FileAssetIo::get_root_path` returned the parent directory of the asset root path, which was the executable's directory unless `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` was set. This change solves the ambiguity between the two methods.
# Objective
- Added a bunch of backticks to things that should have them, like equations, abstract variable names,
- Changed all small x, y, and z to capitals X, Y, Z.
This might be more annoying than helpful; Feel free to refuse this PR.
# Objective
- The time update is currently done in the wrong part of the schedule. For a single frame the current order of things is update input, update time (First stage), other stages, render stage (frame presentation). So when we update the time it includes the input processing of the current frame and the frame presentation of the previous frame. This is a problem when vsync is on. When input processing takes a longer amount of time for a frame, the vsync wait time gets shorter. So when these are not paired correctly we can potentially have a long input processing time added to the normal vsync wait time in the previous frame. This leads to inaccurate frame time reporting and more variance of the time than actually exists. For more details of why this is an issue see the linked issue below.
- Helps with https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4669
- Supercedes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4728 and https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4735. This PR should be less controversial than those because it doesn't add to the API surface.
## Solution
- The most accurate frame time would come from hardware. We currently don't have access to that for multiple reasons, so the next best thing we can do is measure the frame time as close to frame presentation as possible. This PR gets the Instant::now() for the time immediately after frame presentation in the render system and then sends that time to the app world through a channel.
- implements suggestion from @aevyrie from here https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4728#discussion_r872010606
## Statistics
---
## Changelog
- Make frame time reporting more accurate.
## Migration Guide
`time.delta()` now reports zero for 2 frames on startup instead of 1 frame.
Remove unnecessary calls to `iter()`/`iter_mut()`.
Mainly updates the use of queries in our code, docs, and examples.
```rust
// From
for _ in list.iter() {
for _ in list.iter_mut() {
// To
for _ in &list {
for _ in &mut list {
```
We already enable the pedantic lint [clippy::explicit_iter_loop](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/stable/) inside of Bevy. However, this only warns for a few known types from the standard library.
## Note for reviewers
As you can see the additions and deletions are exactly equal.
Maybe give it a quick skim to check I didn't sneak in a crypto miner, but you don't have to torture yourself by reading every line.
I already experienced enough pain making this PR :)

# Objective
- Reduce confusion as the example opens a window and isn't truly "headless"
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/5260.
## Solution
- Rename the example and add to the docs that the window is expected.
# Objective
- Validate the format of the values with the expected attribute format.
- Currently, if you pass the wrong format, it will crash somewhere unrelated with a very cryptic error message, so it's really hard to debug for beginners.
## Solution
- Compare the format and panic when unexpected format is passed
## Note
- I used a separate `error!()` for a human friendly message because the panic message is very noisy and hard to parse for beginners. I don't mind changing this to only a panic if people prefer that.
- This could potentially be something that runs only in debug mode, but I don't think inserting attributes is done often enough for this to be an issue.

# Objective
Currently some TextureFormats are not supported by the Image type.
The `TextureFormat::R16Unorm` format is useful for storing heightmaps.
This small change would unblock releasing my terrain plugin on bevy 0.8.
## Solution
Added `TextureFormat::R16Unorm` support to Image.
This is an alternative (short term solution) to the large texture format issue https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4124.
# Objective
- Slight documentation tweak to make it more clear that `FloatOrd` also implements `Hash` and `Eq`, not just `Ord`.
- I know that it does show that Hash is implemented in the docs, but I had missed it after reading the description and assuming it didn't do it, so hopefully this helps other people who might miss it like I did. :)
## Solution
- Just mention in the Hash and Eq implementation in the docstring.
# Objective
- Currently bevy_ui only checks for primary window cursor position to determine `Interaction` behavior.
- Added checks for focused window where cursor position is available.
- Fixes#5224.
## Solution
- Added checks for focused windows in `Interaction` focus system.
## Follow Up
- All windows with camera will be rendering the UI elements right now.
- We will need some way to tell which camera to render which UI.

# Objective
- Enable the `axis_dpad_to_button` gilrs filter to map hats to dpad buttons on supported remotes.
- Fixes https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/issues/149
- Might have fixed the confusion related to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3229
## Solution
- Enables the `axis_dpad_to_button` filter in `gilrs` which will use it's remote mapping information to see if there are hats mapped to dpads for that remote model. I don't really understand the logic it uses exactly, but it is usually enabled by default in gilrs and I believe it probably leads to more intuitive mapping compared to the current situation of dpad buttons being mapped to an axis.
- Removes the `GamepadAxisType::DPadX` and `GamepadAxisType::DPadY` enum variants to avoid user confusion. Those variants should never be emitted anyway, for all supported remotes.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Removed `GamepadAxisType::DPadX` and `GamepadAxisType::DPadY` in favor of using `GamepadButtonType::DPad[Up/Down/Left/Right]` instead.
## Migration Guide
If your game reads gamepad events or queries the axis state of `GamePadAxisType::DPadX` or `GamePadAxisType::DPadY`, then you must migrate your code to check whether or not the `GamepadButtonType::DPadUp`, `GamepadButtonType::DPadDown`, etc. buttons were pressed instead.
# Objective
`ReflectResource` and `ReflectComponent` will panic on `apply` method if there is no such component. It's not very ergonomic. And not very good for performance since I need to check if such component exists first.
## Solution
* Add `ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert` and `ReflectResource::apply_or_insert` functions.
* Rename `ReflectComponent::add` into `ReflectComponent::insert` for consistency.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* `ReflectResource::apply_or_insert` and `ReflectComponent::apply_on_insert`.
### Changed
* Rename `ReflectComponent::add` into `ReflectComponent::insert` for consistency.
* Use `ReflectComponent::apply_on_insert` in `DynamicScene` instead of manual checking.
## Migration Guide
* Rename `ReflectComponent::add` into `ReflectComponent::insert`.
# Objective
- Extracting resources currently always uses commands, which requires *at least* one additional move of the extracted value, as well as dynamic dispatch.
- Addresses https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4402#discussion_r911634931
## Solution
- Write the resource into a `ResMut<R>` directly.
- Fall-back to commands if the resource hasn't been added yet.
## Objective
Implement absolute minimum viable product for the changes proposed in bevyengine/rfcs#53.
## Solution
- Remove public mutative access to `Parent` (Children is already publicly read-only). This includes public construction methods like `Copy`, `Clone`, and `Default`.
- Remove `PreviousParent`
- Remove `parent_update_system`
- Update all hierarchy related commands to immediately update both `Parent` and `Children` references.
## Remaining TODOs
- [ ] Update documentation for both `Parent` and `Children`. Discourage using `EntityCommands::remove`
- [x] Add `HierarchyEvent` to notify listeners of hierarchy updates. This is meant to replace listening on `PreviousParent`
## Followup
- These changes should be best moved to the hooks mentioned in #3742.
- Backing storage for both might be best moved to indexes mentioned in the same relations.
# Objective
- The libraries used section of the README is outdated and is missing a lot of libraries
- The README isn't really the place for that anyway
## Solution
- Remove the section
# Objective
- Currently, the `Extract` `RenderStage` is executed on the main world, with the render world available as a resource.
- However, when needing access to resources in the render world (e.g. to mutate them), the only way to do so was to get exclusive access to the whole `RenderWorld` resource.
- This meant that effectively only one extract which wrote to resources could run at a time.
- We didn't previously make `Extract`ing writing to the world a non-happy path, even though we want to discourage that.
## Solution
- Move the extract stage to run on the render world.
- Add the main world as a `MainWorld` resource.
- Add an `Extract` `SystemParam` as a convenience to access a (read only) `SystemParam` in the main world during `Extract`.
## Future work
It should be possible to avoid needing to use `get_or_spawn` for the render commands, since now the `Commands`' `Entities` matches up with the world being executed on.
We need to determine how this interacts with https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3519
It's theoretically possible to remove the need for the `value` method on `Extract`. However, that requires slightly changing the `SystemParam` interface, which would make it more complicated. That would probably mess up the `SystemState` api too.
## Todo
I still need to add doc comments to `Extract`.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Extract` `RenderStage` now runs on the render world (instead of the main world as before).
You must use the `Extract` `SystemParam` to access the main world during the extract phase.
Resources on the render world can now be accessed using `ResMut` during extract.
### Removed
- `Commands::spawn_and_forget`. Use `Commands::get_or_spawn(e).insert_bundle(bundle)` instead
## Migration Guide
The `Extract` `RenderStage` now runs on the render world (instead of the main world as before).
You must use the `Extract` `SystemParam` to access the main world during the extract phase. `Extract` takes a single type parameter, which is any system parameter (such as `Res`, `Query` etc.). It will extract this from the main world, and returns the result of this extraction when `value` is called on it.
For example, if previously your extract system looked like:
```rust
fn extract_clouds(mut commands: Commands, clouds: Query<Entity, With<Cloud>>) {
for cloud in clouds.iter() {
commands.get_or_spawn(cloud).insert(Cloud);
}
}
```
the new version would be:
```rust
fn extract_clouds(mut commands: Commands, mut clouds: Extract<Query<Entity, With<Cloud>>>) {
for cloud in clouds.value().iter() {
commands.get_or_spawn(cloud).insert(Cloud);
}
}
```
The diff is:
```diff
--- a/src/clouds.rs
+++ b/src/clouds.rs
@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
-fn extract_clouds(mut commands: Commands, clouds: Query<Entity, With<Cloud>>) {
- for cloud in clouds.iter() {
+fn extract_clouds(mut commands: Commands, mut clouds: Extract<Query<Entity, With<Cloud>>>) {
+ for cloud in clouds.value().iter() {
commands.get_or_spawn(cloud).insert(Cloud);
}
}
```
You can now also access resources from the render world using the normal system parameters during `Extract`:
```rust
fn extract_assets(mut render_assets: ResMut<MyAssets>, source_assets: Extract<Res<MyAssets>>) {
*render_assets = source_assets.clone();
}
```
Please note that all existing extract systems need to be updated to match this new style; even if they currently compile they will not run as expected. A warning will be emitted on a best-effort basis if this is not met.

# Objective
Support removing attributes from meshes. For an example use case, meshes created using the bevy::predule::shape types or loaded from external files may have attributes that are not needed for the materials they will be rendered with.
This was extracted from PR #5222.
## Solution
Implement Mesh::remove_attribute().
# Objective
Bevy requires meshes to include UV coordinates, even if the material does not use any textures, and will fail with an error `ERROR bevy_pbr::material: Mesh is missing requested attribute: Vertex_Uv (MeshVertexAttributeId(2), pipeline type: Some("bevy_pbr::material::MaterialPipeline<bevy_pbr::pbr_material::StandardMaterial>"))` otherwise. The objective of this PR is to permit this.
## Solution
This PR follows the design of #4528, which added support for per-vertex colours. It adds a shader define called VERTEX_UVS which indicates the presence of UV coordinates to the shader.
# Objective
add spotlight support
## Solution / Changelog
- add spotlight angles (inner, outer) to ``PointLight`` struct. emitted light is linearly attenuated from 100% to 0% as angle tends from inner to outer. Direction is taken from the existing transform rotation.
- add spotlight direction (vec3) and angles (f32,f32) to ``GpuPointLight`` struct (60 bytes -> 80 bytes) in ``pbr/render/lights.rs`` and ``mesh_view_bind_group.wgsl``
- reduce no-buffer-support max point light count to 204 due to above
- use spotlight data to attenuate light in ``pbr.wgsl``
- do additional cluster culling on spotlights to minimise cost in ``assign_lights_to_clusters``
- changed one of the lights in the lighting demo to a spotlight
- also added a ``spotlight`` demo - probably not justified but so reviewers can see it more easily
## notes
increasing the size of the GpuPointLight struct on my machine reduces the FPS of ``many_lights -- sphere`` from ~150fps to 140fps.
i thought this was a reasonable tradeoff, and felt better than handling spotlights separately which is possible but would mean introducing a new bind group, refactoring light-assignment code and adding new spotlight-specific code in pbr.wgsl. the FPS impact for smaller numbers of lights should be very small.
the cluster culling strategy reintroduces the cluster aabb code which was recently removed... sorry. the aabb is used to get a cluster bounding sphere, which can then be tested fairly efficiently using the strategy described at the end of https://bartwronski.com/2017/04/13/cull-that-cone/. this works well with roughly cubic clusters (where the cluster z size is close to the same as x/y size), less well for other cases like single Z slice / tiled forward rendering. In the worst case we will end up just keeping the culling of the equivalent point light.

This gives users a hint to use the GitHub "Discussions" for questions about bevy, instead of filing an issue.
## Objective
> Users sometimes file unhelpful issues when asking questions about how to use Bevy.
We should provide a link to the Discussion board in the list of "new Issue" options. This hopefully allows users to better find this option and reduces the number of question-issues.
- fixes#5150
## Solution
- add a small config.yml that configures the link

---
## Open questsions
- I am unsure about the wording.
# Objective
`EntityMap` lacks documentation, don't have `len()` / `is_empty` and `insert` doesn't work as in the regular HashMap`.
## Solution
* Add `len()` method.
* Return previously mapped entity from `insert()` as in the regular `HashMap`.
* Add documentation.
---
## Changelog
* Add `EntityMap::len()`.
* Return previously mapped entity from `EntityMap::insert()` as in the regular `HashMap`.
* Add documentation for `EntityMap` methods.
# Objective
It is currently hard to configure the `WindowPlugin`, as it is added as part of the `DefaultPlugins`. Ideally this should not be difficult.
## Solution
Remove the configuration from the plugin itself and put it as a `Resource`, similar to how it is done for almost all other plugins.
## Migration Guide
If you are currently configuring the behavior of the `WindowPlugin`, by constructing it manually, then you will need to instead create add the `WindowSettings` as a resource.
# Objective
Add texture sampling to the GLSL shader example, as naga does not support the commonly used sampler2d type.
Fixes#5059
## Solution
- Align the shader_material_glsl example behaviour with the shader_material example, as the later includes texture sampling.
- Update the GLSL shader to do texture sampling the way naga supports it, and document the way naga does not support it.
## Changelog
- The shader_material_glsl example has been updated to demonstrate texture sampling using the GLSL shading language.

# Objective
In bevy 0.7, `CameraUi` was a component specifically added to cameras
that display the UI. Since camera-driven rendering was merged, it
actually does the opposite! This will make it difficult for current
users to adapt to 0.8.
## Solution
To avoid unnecessary confusion, we rename `CameraUi` into
`UiCameraConfig`.
---
## Changelog
- Rename `CameraUi` to `UiCameraConfig`
# Objective
Remove suffixes from reflect component and resource methods to closer match bevy norms.
## Solution
removed suffixes and also fixed a spelling error
---
# Objective
When `miri` runs in our build system to detect unsoundness, its output can be very unhelpful, as the tests are all run in parallel.
## Solution
Add a comment documenting the extremely obvious 10/10 command used by @BoxyUwU in #4959.
I've stuck this in the CI file, as it seems like the most obvious place to check when frustrated. I didn't put it in CONTRIBUTING.md because this is an eldritch abomination and will never be useful to new contributors.
# Objective
- Help users fix issue when their app panic when executing a command on a despawned entity
## Solution
- Add an error code and a page describing how to debug the issue
