# Objective
It is often necessary to update an entity's parent while keeping its GlobalTransform static. Currently it is cumbersome and error-prone (two questions in the discord `#help` channel in the past week)
- Part 1 of #5475
- Part 2: #7024.
## Solution
- Add a `reparented_to` method to `GlobalTransform`
---
## Changelog
- Add a `reparented_to` method to `GlobalTransform`
# Objective
Fixes#4697. Hierarchical propagation of properties, currently only Transform -> GlobalTransform, can be a very expensive operation. Transform propagation is a strict dependency for anything positioned in world-space. In large worlds, this can take quite a bit of time, so limiting it to a single thread can result in poor CPU utilization as it bottlenecks the rest of the frame's systems.
## Solution
- Move transforms without a parent or a child (free-floating (Global)Transform) entities into a separate parallel system.
- Chunk the hierarchy based on the root entities and process it in parallel with `Query::par_for_each_mut`.
- Utilize the hierarchy's specific properties introduced in #4717 to allow for safe use of `Query::get_unchecked` on multiple threads. Assuming each child is unique in the hierarchy, it is impossible to have an aliased `&mut GlobalTransform` so long as we verify that the parent for a child is the same one propagated from.
---
## Changelog
Removed: `transform_propagate_system` is no longer `pub`.
Add a method to rotate a transform to point towards a direction.
Also updated the docs to link to `forward` and `up` instead of mentioning local negative `Z` and local `Y`.
Unfortunately, links to methods don't work in rust-analyzer :(

# Objective
Fix#6453.
## Solution
Use the solution mentioned in the issue by catching the unwind and dropping the error. Wrap the `executor.try_tick` calls with `std::catch::unwind`.
Ideally this would be moved outside of the hot loop, but the mut ref to the `spawned` future is not `UnwindSafe`.
This PR only addresses the bug, we can address the perf issues (should there be any) later.
# Objective
Right now, the `TaskPool` implementation allows panics to permanently kill worker threads upon panicking. This is currently non-recoverable without using a `std::panic::catch_unwind` in every scheduled task. This is poor ergonomics and even poorer developer experience. This is exacerbated by #2250 as these threads are global and cannot be replaced after initialization.
Removes the need for temporary fixes like #4998. Fixes#4996. Fixes#6081. Fixes#5285. Fixes#5054. Supersedes #2307.
## Solution
The current solution is to wrap `Executor::run` in `TaskPool` with a `catch_unwind`, and discarding the potential panic. This was taken straight from [smol](404c7bcc0a/src/spawn.rs (L44))'s current implementation. ~~However, this is not entirely ideal as:~~
- ~~the signaled to the awaiting task. We would need to change `Task<T>` to use `async_task::FallibleTask` internally, and even then it doesn't signal *why* it panicked, just that it did.~~ (See below).
- ~~no error is logged of any kind~~ (See below)
- ~~it's unclear if it drops other tasks in the executor~~ (it does not)
- ~~This allows the ECS parallel executor to keep chugging even though a system's task has been dropped. This inevitably leads to deadlock in the executor.~~ Assuming we don't catch the unwind in ParallelExecutor, this will naturally kill the main thread.
### Alternatives
A final solution likely will incorporate elements of any or all of the following.
#### ~~Log and Ignore~~
~~Log the panic, drop the task, keep chugging. This only addresses the discoverability of the panic. The process will continue to run, probably deadlocking the executor. tokio's detatched tasks operate in this fashion.~~
Panics already do this by default, even when caught by `catch_unwind`.
#### ~~`catch_unwind` in `ParallelExecutor`~~
~~Add another layer catching system-level panics into the `ParallelExecutor`. How the executor continues when a core dependency of many systems fails to run is up for debate.~~
`async_task::Task` bubbles up panics already, this will transitively push panics all the way to the main thread.
#### ~~Emulate/Copy `tokio::JoinHandle` with `Task<T>`~~
~~`tokio::JoinHandle<T>` bubbles up the panic from the underlying task when awaited. This can be transitively applied across other APIs that also use `Task<T>` like `Query::par_for_each` and `TaskPool::scope`, bubbling up the panic until it's either caught or it reaches the main thread.~~
`async_task::Task` bubbles up panics already, this will transitively push panics all the way to the main thread.
#### Abort on Panic
The nuclear option. Log the error, abort the entire process on any thread in the task pool panicking. Definitely avoids any additional infrastructure for passing the panic around, and might actually lead to more efficient code as any unwinding is optimized out. However gives the developer zero options for dealing with the issue, a seemingly poor choice for debuggability, and prevents graceful shutdown of the process. Potentially an option for handling very low-level task management (a la #4740). Roughly takes the shape of:
```rust
struct AbortOnPanic;
impl Drop for AbortOnPanic {
fn drop(&mut self) {
abort!();
}
}
let guard = AbortOnPanic;
// Run task
std::mem::forget(AbortOnPanic);
```
---
## Changelog
Changed: `bevy_tasks::TaskPool`'s threads will no longer terminate permanently when a task scheduled onto them panics.
Changed: `bevy_tasks::Task` and`bevy_tasks::Scope` will propagate panics in the spawned tasks/scopes to the parent thread.
This reverts commit 53d387f340.

# Objective
Fixes#6378
`bevy_transform` is missing a feature corresponding to the `serialize` feature on the `bevy` crate.
## Solution
Adds a `serialize` feature to `bevy_transform`.
Derives `serde::Serialize` and `Deserialize` when feature is enabled.
Bevy's coordinate system is right-handed Y up, so +Z points towards my nose and I'm looking in the -Z direction. Therefore, `Transform::looking_at/look_at` must be pointing towards -Z. Or am I wrong here?
This is a holdover from back when `Transform` was backed by a private `Mat4` two years ago.
Not particularly useful anymore :)
## Migration Guide
`Transform::apply_non_uniform_scale` has been removed.
It can be replaced with the following snippet:
```rust
transform.scale *= scale_factor;
```

- This way only the main thread will panic, which is handled by `cargo test`
# Objective
Now that we can consolidate Bundles and Components under a single insert (thanks to #2975 and #6039), almost 100% of world spawns now look like `world.spawn().insert((Some, Tuple, Here))`. Spawning an entity without any components is an extremely uncommon pattern, so it makes sense to give spawn the "first class" ergonomic api. This consolidated api should be made consistent across all spawn apis (such as World and Commands).
## Solution
All `spawn` apis (`World::spawn`, `Commands:;spawn`, `ChildBuilder::spawn`, and `WorldChildBuilder::spawn`) now accept a bundle as input:
```rust
// before:
commands
.spawn()
.insert((A, B, C));
world
.spawn()
.insert((A, B, C);
// after
commands.spawn((A, B, C));
world.spawn((A, B, C));
```
All existing instances of `spawn_bundle` have been deprecated in favor of the new `spawn` api. A new `spawn_empty` has been added, replacing the old `spawn` api.
By allowing `world.spawn(some_bundle)` to replace `world.spawn().insert(some_bundle)`, this opened the door to removing the initial entity allocation in the "empty" archetype / table done in `spawn()` (and subsequent move to the actual archetype in `.insert(some_bundle)`).
This improves spawn performance by over 10%:
To take this measurement, I added a new `world_spawn` benchmark.
Unfortunately, optimizing `Commands::spawn` is slightly less trivial, as Commands expose the Entity id of spawned entities prior to actually spawning. Doing the optimization would (naively) require assurances that the `spawn(some_bundle)` command is applied before all other commands involving the entity (which would not necessarily be true, if memory serves). Optimizing `Commands::spawn` this way does feel possible, but it will require careful thought (and maybe some additional checks), which deserves its own PR. For now, it has the same performance characteristics of the current `Commands::spawn_bundle` on main.
**Note that 99% of this PR is simple renames and refactors. The only code that needs careful scrutiny is the new `World::spawn()` impl, which is relatively straightforward, but it has some new unsafe code (which re-uses battle tested BundlerSpawner code path).**
---
## Changelog
- All `spawn` apis (`World::spawn`, `Commands:;spawn`, `ChildBuilder::spawn`, and `WorldChildBuilder::spawn`) now accept a bundle as input
- All instances of `spawn_bundle` have been deprecated in favor of the new `spawn` api
- World and Commands now have `spawn_empty()`, which is equivalent to the old `spawn()` behavior.
## Migration Guide
```rust
// Old (0.8):

```
# Objective
Both components already derives `Reflect` and it would be nice to have `FromReflect` in order to ser/de between those types without relaying on `downcast`, since it can fail between different platforms, like WebAssembly.
## Solution
Derive `FromReflect` for `Transform` and `GlobalTransform`.
I thought if I should also derive `FromReflect` for `GlobalTransform`, since it's a computed component, but there may be some use cases where a `GlobalTransform` is needed to be sent over the wire, so I decided to do it.
# Objective
Take advantage of the "impl Bundle for Component" changes in #2975 / add the follow up changes discussed there.
## Solution
- Change `insert` and `remove` to accept a Bundle instead of a Component (for both Commands and World)
- Deprecate `insert_bundle`, `remove_bundle`, and `remove_bundle_intersection`
- Add `remove_intersection`
---
## Changelog
- Change `insert` and `remove` now accept a Bundle instead of a Component (for both Commands and World)
- `insert_bundle` and `remove_bundle` are deprecated
## Migration Guide
Replace `insert_bundle` with `insert`:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
commands.spawn().insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default());
// New (0.9)
commands.spawn().insert(SomeBundle::default());
```
Replace `remove_bundle` with `remove`:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
commands.entity(some_entity).remove_bundle::<SomeBundle>();
// New (0.9)
commands.entity(some_entity).remove::<SomeBundle>();
```
Replace `remove_bundle_intersection` with `remove_intersection`:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
world.entity_mut(some_entity).remove_bundle_intersection::<SomeBundle>();
// New (0.9)
world.entity_mut(some_entity).remove_intersection::<SomeBundle>();
```
Consider consolidating as many operations as possible to improve ergonomics and cut down on archetype moves:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
commands.spawn()
.insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default())
.insert(SomeComponent);
// New (0.9) - Option 1
commands.spawn().insert((
SomeBundle::default(),
SomeComponent,
))
// New (0.9) - Option 2
commands.spawn_bundle((
SomeBundle::default(),
SomeComponent,
))
```
## Next Steps
Consider changing `spawn` to accept a bundle and deprecate `spawn_bundle`.

# Objective
A common pitfall since 0.8 is the requirement on `ComputedVisibility`
being present on all ancestors of an entity that itself has
`ComputedVisibility`, without which, the entity becomes invisible.
I myself hit the issue and got very confused, and saw a few people hit
it as well, so it makes sense to provide a hint of what to do when such
a situation is encountered.
- Fixes#5849
- Closes#5616
- Closes#2277
- Closes#5081
## Solution
We now check that all entities with both a `Parent` and a
`ComputedVisibility` component have parents that themselves have a
`ComputedVisibility` component.
Note that the warning is only printed once.
We also add a similar warning to `GlobalTransform`.
This only emits a warning. Because sometimes it could be an intended
behavior.
Alternatives:
- Do nothing and keep repeating to newcomers how to avoid recurring
pitfalls
- Make the transform and visibility propagation tolerant to missing
components (#5616)
- Probably archetype invariants, though the current draft would not
allow detecting that kind of errors

# 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
- Help user when they need to add both a `TransformBundle` and a `VisibilityBundle`
## Solution
- Add a `SpatialBundle` adding all components
# Objective
- Add capability to use `Affine3A`s for some `GlobalTransform`s. This allows affine transformations that are not possible using a single `Transform` such as shear and non-uniform scaling along an arbitrary axis.
- Related to #1755 and #2026
## Solution
- `GlobalTransform` becomes an enum wrapping either a `Transform` or an `Affine3A`.
- The API of `GlobalTransform` is minimized to avoid inefficiency, and to make it clear that operations should be performed using the underlying data types.
- using `GlobalTransform::Affine3A` disables transform propagation, because the main use is for cases that `Transform`s cannot support.
---
## Changelog
- `GlobalTransform`s can optionally support any affine transformation using an `Affine3A`.

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>

# 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.
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_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
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.
Removed `const_vec2`/`const_vec3`
and replaced with equivalent `.from_array`.
# Objective
Fixes#5112
## Solution
- `encase` needs to update to `glam` as well. See teoxoy/encase#4 on progress on that.
- `hexasphere` also needs to be updated, see OptimisticPeach/hexasphere#12.
# Objective
Users often ask for help with rotations as they struggle with `Quat`s.
`Quat` is rather complex and has a ton of verbose methods.
## Solution
Add rotation helper methods to `Transform`.

# Objective
- Fixes#4996
## Solution
- Panicking on the global task pool is probably bad. This changes the panicking test to use a single threaded stage to run the test instead.
- I checked the other #[should_panic]
- I also added explicit ordering between the transform propagate system and the parent update system. The ambiguous ordering didn't seem to be causing problems, but the tests are probably more correct this way. The plugins that add these systems have an explicit ordering. I can remove this if necessary.
## Note
I don't have a 100% mental model of why panicking is causing intermittent failures. It probably has to do with a task for one of the other tests landing on the panicking thread when it actually panics. Why this causes a problem I'm not sure, but this PR seems to fix things.
## Open questions
- there are some other #[should_panic] tests that run on the task pool in stage.rs. I don't think we restart panicked threads, so this might be killing most of the threads on the pool. But since they're not causing test failures, we should probably decide what to do about that separately. The solution in this PR won't work since those tests are explicitly testing parallelism.
# Objective
- Transform propogation could stack overflow when there was a cycle.
- I think https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4203 would use all available memory.
## Solution
- Make sure that the child entity's `Parent`s are their parents.
This is also required for when parallelising, although as noted in the comment, the naïve solution would be UB.
(The best way to fix this would probably be an `&mut UnsafeCell<T>` `WorldQuery`, or wrapper type with the same effect)
### Problem
It currently isn't possible to construct the default value of a reflected type. Because of that, it isn't possible to use `add_component` of `ReflectComponent` to add a new component to an entity because you can't know what the initial value should be.
### Solution
1. add `ReflectDefault` type
```rust
#[derive(Clone)]
pub struct ReflectDefault {
default: fn() -> Box<dyn Reflect>,
}
impl ReflectDefault {
pub fn default(&self) -> Box<dyn Reflect> {
(self.default)()
}
}
impl<T: Reflect + Default> FromType<T> for ReflectDefault {
fn from_type() -> Self {
ReflectDefault {
default: || Box::new(T::default()),
}
}
}
```
2. add `#[reflect(Default)]` to all component types that implement `Default` and are user facing (so not `ComputedSize`, `CubemapVisibleEntities` etc.)
This makes it possible to add the default value of a component to an entity without any compile-time information:
```rust
fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.register_type::<Camera>();
let type_registry = app.world.get_resource::<TypeRegistry>().unwrap();
let type_registry = type_registry.read();
let camera_registration = type_registry.get(std::any::TypeId::of::<Camera>()).unwrap();
let reflect_default = camera_registration.data::<ReflectDefault>().unwrap();
let reflect_component = camera_registration
.data::<ReflectComponent>()
.unwrap()
.clone();
let default = reflect_default.default();
drop(type_registry);
let entity = app.world.spawn().id();
reflect_component.add_component(&mut app.world, entity, &*default);
let camera = app.world.entity(entity).get::<Camera>().unwrap();
dbg!(&camera);
}
```
### Open questions
- should we have `ReflectDefault` or `ReflectFromWorld` or both?
Supercedes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3340, and absorbs the test from there.
# Objective
- Fixes#3329
## Solution
- If the `Children` component has changed, we currently do not have a way to know how it has changed.
- Therefore, we must update the hierarchy downwards from that point to be correct.

# Objective
- Improve transform propagation performance
## Solution
- Use `Changed<Transform>` as part of the `root_query` and `transform_query` to avoid the indirection of having to look up the `Entity` in the `changed_transform_query`
- Get rid of the `changed_transform_query` entirely
- `transform_propagate_system` execution time for `many_cubes -- sphere` dropped from 1.07ms to 0.159ms, an 85% reduction for this system. Frame rate increased from ~42fps to ~44fps
# Objective
- Hierarchy tools are not just used for `Transform`: they are also used for scenes.
- In the future there's interest in using them for other features, such as visiibility inheritance.
- The fact that these tools are found in `bevy_transform` causes a great deal of user and developer confusion
- Fixes#2758.
## Solution
- Split `bevy_transform` into two!
- Make everything work again.
Note that this is a very tightly scoped PR: I *know* there are code quality and docs issues that existed in bevy_transform that I've just moved around. We should fix those in a seperate PR and try to merge this ASAP to reduce the bitrot involved in splitting an entire crate.
## Frustrations
The API around `GlobalTransform` is a mess: we have massive code and docs duplication, no link between the two types and no clear way to extend this to other forms of inheritance.
In the medium-term, I feel pretty strongly that `GlobalTransform` should be replaced by something like `Inherited<Transform>`, which lives in `bevy_hierarchy`:
- avoids code duplication
- makes the inheritance pattern extensible
- links the types at the type-level
- allows us to remove all references to inheritance from `bevy_transform`, making it more useful as a standalone crate and cleaning up its docs

# Objective
Lets say we need to rotate stretched object for this purpose we can created stretched `Child` and add as child to `Parent`, later we can rotate `Parent`, `Child` in this situation should rotate keeping it form, it is not the case with `SpriteBundle` currently. If you try to do it with `SpriteBundle` it will deform.
## Solution
My pull request fixes order of transformations to scale -> rotate -> translate, with this fix `SpriteBundle` behaves as expected in described rotation, without deformation. Here is quote from "Essential Mathematics for Games":
> Generally, the desired order we wish to use for these transforms is to scale first, then rotate, then translate. Scaling first gives us the scaling along the axes we expect. We can then rotate around the origin of the frame, and then translate it into place.
I'm must say when I was using `MaterialMesh2dBundle` it behaves correctly in both cases with `bevy main` and with my fix, don't know why, was not able to figure it out why there is difference.
here is code I was using for testing:
```rust
use bevy::{
prelude::*,
render::render_resource::{Extent3d, TextureDimension, TextureFormat},
sprite::{MaterialMesh2dBundle, Mesh2dHandle},
};
fn main() {
let mut app = App::new();
app.insert_resource(ClearColor(Color::rgb(0.1, 0.2, 0.3)))
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_startup_system(setup);
app.run();
}
fn setup(
mut commands: Commands,
mut images: ResMut<Assets<Image>>,
mut meshes: ResMut<Assets<Mesh>>,
mut materials: ResMut<Assets<ColorMaterial>>,

here is screenshot with `bevy main` and my fix:
What is says on the tin.
This has got more to do with making `clippy` slightly more *quiet* than it does with changing anything that might greatly impact readability or performance.
that said, deriving `Default` for a couple of structs is a nice easy win
# Objective
- Bevy currently has no simple way to make an "empty" Entity work correctly in a Hierachy.
- The current Solution is to insert a Tuple instead:
```rs
.insert_bundle((Transform::default(), GlobalTransform::default()))
```
## Solution
* Add a `TransformBundle` that combines the Components:
```rs
.insert_bundle(TransformBundle::default())
```
* The code is based on #2331, except for missing the more controversial usage of `TransformBundle` as a Sub-bundle in preexisting Bundles.

# Objective
- Missing obvious way to rotate a transform around a point. This is popularly used for rotation of an object in world space ("orbiting" a point), or for local rotation of an object around a pivot point on that object.
- Present in other (not to be named) game engines
- Was question from user on Discord today (thread "object rotation")
## Solution
- Added Transform::rotate_around method where point is specified in reference frame of the parent (if any) or in world space.
