# Objective
- Make CI friendlier
## Solution
- CI now says hello to new contributor
- for some jobs with non obvious solutions to failures, give more context
- example run should say which example failed
- example doc should say the next action to do (add metadata or run the update script)
- MSRV will say when it needs updating
I'm not completely sure everything is working and will try to trigger failures in this PR

# Objective
- Add support for the “classic” distance fog effect, as well as a more advanced atmospheric fog effect.
## Solution
This PR:
- Introduces a new `FogSettings` component that controls distance fog per-camera.
- Adds support for three widely used “traditional” fog falloff modes: `Linear`, `Exponential` and `ExponentialSquared`, as well as a more advanced `Atmospheric` fog;
- Adds support for directional light influence over fog color;
- Extracts fog via `ExtractComponent`, then uses a prepare system that sets up a new dynamic uniform struct (`Fog`), similar to other mesh view types;
- Renders fog in PBR material shader, as a final adjustment to the `output_color`, after PBR is computed (but before tone mapping);
- Adds a new `StandardMaterial` flag to enable fog; (`fog_enabled`)
- Adds convenience methods for easier artistic control when creating non-linear fog types;
- Adds documentation around fog.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Added support for distance-based fog effects for PBR materials, controllable per-camera via the new `FogSettings` component;
- Added `FogFalloff` enum for selecting between three widely used “traditional” fog falloff modes: `Linear`, `Exponential` and `ExponentialSquared`, as well as a more advanced `Atmospheric` fog;
# Objective
Found while working on #7385.
The struct `EntityMut` has the safety invariant that it's cached `EntityLocation` must always accurately specify where the entity is stored. Thus, any time its location might be invalidated (such as by calling `EntityMut::world_mut` and moving archetypes), the cached location *must* be updated by calling `EntityMut::update_location`.
The method `world_scope` encapsulates this pattern in safe API by requiring world mutations to be done in a closure, after which `update_location` will automatically be called. However, this method has a soundness hole: if a panic occurs within the closure, then `update_location` will never get called. If the panic is caught in an outer scope, then the `EntityMut` will be left with an outdated location, which is undefined behavior.
An example of this can be seen in the unit test `entity_mut_world_scope_panic`, which has been added to this PR as a regression test. Without the other changes in this PR, that test will invoke undefined behavior in safe code.
## Solution
Call `EntityMut::update_location()` from within a `Drop` impl, which ensures that it will get executed even if `EntityMut::world_scope` unwinds.
# Objective
I recently had an issue, where I have a struct:
```
struct Property {
inner: T
}
```
that I use as a wrapper for internal purposes.
I don't want to update my struct definition to
```
struct Property<T: Reflect>{
inner: T
}
```
because I still want to be able to build `Property<T>` for types `T` that are not `Reflect`. (and also because I don't want to update my whole code base with `<T: Reflect>` bounds)
I still wanted to have reflection on it (for `bevy_inspector_egui`), but adding `derive(Reflect)` fails with the error:
`T cannot be sent between threads safely. T needs to implement Sync.`
I believe that `bevy_reflect` should adopt the model of other derives in the case of generics, which is to add the `Reflect` implementation only if the generics also implement `Reflect`. (That is the behaviour of other macros such as `derive(Clone)` or `derive(Debug)`.
It's also the current behavior of `derive(FromReflect)`.
Basically doing something like:
```
impl<T> Reflect for Foo<T>
where T: Reflect
```
## Solution
- I updated the derive macros for `Structs` and `TupleStructs` to add extra `where` bounds.
- Every type that is reflected will need a `T: Reflect` bound
- Ignored types will need a `T: 'static + Send + Sync` bound. Here's the reason. For cases like this:
```
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo<T, U>{
a: T
#[reflect(ignore)]
b: U
}
```
I had to add the bound `'static + Send + Sync` to ignored generics like `U`.
The reason is that we want `Foo<T, U>` to be `Reflect: 'static + Send + Sync`, so `Foo<T, U>` must be able to implement those auto-traits. `Foo<T, U>` will only implement those auto-traits if every generic type implements them, including ignored types.
This means that the previously compile-fail case now compiles:
```
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo<'a> {
#[reflect(ignore)]
value: &'a str,
}
```
But `Foo<'a>` will only be useable in the cases where `'a: 'static` and panic if we don't have `'a: 'static`, which is what we want (nice bonus from this PR ;) )
---
## Changelog
> This section is optional. If this was a trivial fix, or has no externally-visible impact, you can delete this section.
### Added
Possibility to add `derive(Reflect)` to structs and enums that contain generic types, like so:
```
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo<T>{
a: T
}
```
Reflection will only be available if the generic type T also implements `Reflect`.
(previously, this would just return a compiler error)
# Objective
The function `EntityMut::world_scope` is a safe abstraction that allows you to temporarily get mutable access to the underlying `World` of an `EntityMut`. This function is purely stateful, meaning it is not easily possible to return a value from it.
## Solution
Allow returning a computed value from the closure. This is similar to how `World::resource_scope` works.
---
## Changelog
- The function `EntityMut::world_scope` now allows returning a value from the immediately-computed closure.
# Objective
## Use Case
A render node which calls `post_process_write()` on a `ViewTarget` multiple times during a single run of the node means both main textures of this view target is accessed.
If the source texture (which alternate between main textures **a** and **b**) is accessed in a shader during those iterations it means that those textures have to be bound using bind groups.
Preparing bind groups for both main textures ahead of time is desired, which means having access to the _other_ main texture is needed.
## Solution
Add a method on `ViewTarget` for accessing the other main texture.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `main_texture_other` API on `ViewTarget`
# Objective
There's no period at the end of the first line of the `Name` documentation, and this messes up the grammar of the summary rustdoc creates:
```

I added it.

Changed: The MSRV of the engine is now 1.67.
alternative to #5922, implements #5956
builds on top of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6402
# Objective
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/5956 goes into more detail, but the TLDR is:
- bevy systems ensure disjoint accesses to resources and components, and for that to work there are methods `World::get_resource_unchecked_mut(&self)`, ..., `EntityRef::get_mut_unchecked(&self)` etc.
- we don't have these unchecked methods for `by_id` variants, so third-party crate authors cannot build their own safe disjoint-access abstractions with these
- having `_unchecked_mut` methods is not great, because in their presence safe code can accidentally violate subtle invariants. Having to go through `world.as_unsafe_world_cell().unsafe_method()` forces you to stop and think about what you want to write in your `// SAFETY` comment.
The alternative is to keep exposing `_unchecked_mut` variants for every operation that we want third-party crates to build upon, but we'd prefer to avoid using these methods alltogether: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5922#issuecomment-1241954543
Also, this is something that **cannot be implemented outside of bevy**, so having either this PR or #5922 as an escape hatch with lots of discouraging comments would be great.
## Solution
- add `UnsafeWorldCell` with `unsafe fn get_resource(&self)`, `unsafe fn get_resource_mut(&self)`
- add `fn World::as_unsafe_world_cell(&mut self) -> UnsafeWorldCell<'_>` (and `as_unsafe_world_cell_readonly(&self)`)
- add `UnsafeWorldCellEntityRef` with `unsafe fn get`, `unsafe fn get_mut` and the other utilities on `EntityRef` (no methods for spawning, despawning, insertion)
- use the `UnsafeWorldCell` abstraction in `ReflectComponent`, `ReflectResource` and `ReflectAsset`, so these APIs are easier to reason about
- remove `World::get_resource_mut_unchecked`, `EntityRef::get_mut_unchecked` and use `unsafe { world.as_unsafe_world_cell().get_mut() }` and `unsafe { world.as_unsafe_world_cell().get_entity(entity)?.get_mut() }` instead
This PR does **not** make use of `UnsafeWorldCell` for anywhere else in `bevy_ecs` such as `SystemParam` or `Query`. That is a much larger change, and I am convinced that having `UnsafeWorldCell` is already useful for third-party crates.
Implemented API:
```rust
struct World { .. }
impl World {
fn as_unsafe_world_cell(&self) -> UnsafeWorldCell<'_>;
}
struct UnsafeWorldCell<'w>(&'w World);
impl<'w> UnsafeWorldCell {
unsafe fn world(&self) -> &World;
fn get_entity(&self) -> UnsafeWorldCellEntityRef<'w>; // returns 'w which is `'self` of the `World::as_unsafe_world_cell(&'w self)`
unsafe fn get_resource<T>(&self) -> Option<&'w T>;
unsafe fn get_resource_by_id(&self, ComponentId) -> Option<&'w T>;
unsafe fn get_resource_mut<T>(&self) -> Option<Mut<'w, T>>;
unsafe fn get_resource_mut_by_id(&self) -> Option<MutUntyped<'w>>;
unsafe fn get_non_send_resource<T>(&self) -> Option<&'w T>;
unsafe fn get_non_send_resource_mut<T>(&self) -> Option<Mut<'w, T>>>;
// not included: remove, remove_resource, despawn, anything that might change archetypes
}
struct UnsafeWorldCellEntityRef<'w> { .. }
impl UnsafeWorldCellEntityRef<'w> {
unsafe fn get<T>(&self, Entity) -> Option<&'w T>;
unsafe fn get_by_id(&self, Entity, ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'w>>;
unsafe fn get_mut<T>(&self, Entity) -> Option<Mut<'w, T>>;
unsafe fn get_mut_by_id(&self, Entity, ComponentId) -> Option<MutUntyped<'w>>;
unsafe fn get_change_ticks<T>(&self, Entity) -> Option<Mut<'w, T>>;
// fn id, archetype, contains, contains_id, containts_type_id
}
```
<details>
<summary>UnsafeWorldCell docs</summary>
Variant of the [`World`] where resource and component accesses takes a `&World`, and the responsibility to avoid
aliasing violations are given to the caller instead of being checked at compile-time by rust's unique XOR shared rule.
### Rationale
In rust, having a `&mut World` means that there are absolutely no other references to the safe world alive at the same time,
without exceptions. Not even unsafe code can change this.
But there are situations where careful shared mutable access through a type is possible and safe. For this, rust provides the [`UnsafeCell`](std::cell::UnsafeCell)
escape hatch, which allows you to get a `*mut T` from a `&UnsafeCell<T>` and around which safe abstractions can be built.
Access to resources and components can be done uniquely using [`World::resource_mut`] and [`World::entity_mut`], and shared using [`World::resource`] and [`World::entity`].
These methods use lifetimes to check at compile time that no aliasing rules are being broken.
This alone is not enough to implement bevy systems where multiple systems can access *disjoint* parts of the world concurrently. For this, bevy stores all values of
resources and components (and [`ComponentTicks`](crate::component::ComponentTicks)) in [`UnsafeCell`](std::cell::UnsafeCell)s, and carefully validates disjoint access patterns using
APIs like [`System::component_access`](crate::system::System::component_access).
A system then can be executed using [`System::run_unsafe`](crate::system::System::run_unsafe) with a `&World` and use methods with interior mutability to access resource values.
access resource values.
### Example Usage
[`UnsafeWorldCell`] can be used as a building block for writing APIs that safely allow disjoint access into the world.
In the following example, the world is split into a resource access half and a component access half, where each one can
safely hand out mutable references.
```rust
use bevy_ecs::world::World;
use bevy_ecs::change_detection::Mut;
use bevy_ecs::system::Resource;
use bevy_ecs::world::unsafe_world_cell_world::UnsafeWorldCell;
// INVARIANT: existance of this struct means that users of it are the only ones being able to access resources in the world
struct OnlyResourceAccessWorld<'w>(UnsafeWorldCell<'w>);
// INVARIANT: existance of this struct means that users of it are the only ones being able to access components in the world
struct OnlyComponentAccessWorld<'w>(UnsafeWorldCell<'w>);
impl<'w> OnlyResourceAccessWorld<'w> {
fn get_resource_mut<T: Resource>(&mut self) -> Option<Mut<'w, T>> {
// SAFETY: resource access is allowed through this UnsafeWorldCell
unsafe { self.0.get_resource_mut::<T>() }
}
}
// impl<'w> OnlyComponentAccessWorld<'w> {
// ...
// }
// the two interior mutable worlds borrow from the `&mut World`, so it cannot be accessed while they are live
fn split_world_access(world: &mut World) -> (OnlyResourceAccessWorld<'_>, OnlyComponentAccessWorld<'_>) {
let resource_access = OnlyResourceAccessWorld(unsafe { world.as_unsafe_world_cell() });
let component_access = OnlyComponentAccessWorld(unsafe { world.as_unsafe_world_cell() });
(resource_access, component_access)
}
```

# Objective
Implements cascaded shadow maps for directional lights, which produces better quality shadows without needing excessively large shadow maps.
Fixes#3629
Before
After
## Solution
Rather than rendering a single shadow map for directional light, the view frustum is divided into a series of cascades, each of which gets its own shadow map. The correct cascade is then sampled for shadow determination.
---
## Changelog
Directional lights now use cascaded shadow maps for improved shadow quality.
## Migration Guide
You no longer have to manually specify a `shadow_projection` for a directional light, and these settings should be removed. If customization of how cascaded shadow maps work is desired, modify the `CascadeShadowConfig` component instead.
# Objective
Fixes#7286. Both `App::add_sub_app` and `App::insert_sub_app` are rather redundant. Before 0.10 is shipped, one of them should be removed.
## Solution
Remove `App::add_sub_app` to prefer `App::insert_sub_app`.
Also hid away `SubApp::extract` since that can be a footgun if someone mutates it for whatever reason. Willing to revert this change if there are objections.
Perhaps we should make `SubApp: Deref<Target=App>`? Might change if we decide to move `!Send` resources into it.
---
## Changelog
Added: `SubApp::new`
Removed: `App::add_sub_app`
## Migration Guide
`App::add_sub_app` has been removed in favor of `App::insert_sub_app`. Use `SubApp::new` and insert it via `App::add_sub_app`
Old:
```rust
let mut sub_app = App::new()
// Build subapp here
app.add_sub_app(MySubAppLabel, sub_app);
```
New:
```rust
let mut sub_app = App::new()
// Build subapp here
app.insert_sub_app(MySubAppLabel, SubApp::new(sub_app, extract_fn));
```

# Problem
The `upsert_leaf` method creates a new `MeasureFunc` and, if required, a new leaf node, but then it only adds the new `MeasureFunc` to existing leaf nodes.
## Solution
Add the `MeasureFunc` to new leaf nodes as well.
# Objective
`add_system(system)` without any `.in_set` configuration should land in `CoreSet::Update`.
We check that the sets are empty, but for systems there is always the `SystemTypeset`.
## Solution
- instead of `is_empty()`, check that the only set it the `SystemTypeSet`
# Objective
The naming of the two plugin groups `DefaultPlugins` and `MinimalPlugins` suggests that one is a super-set of the other but this is not the case. Instead, the two plugin groups are intended for very different purposes.
Closes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/7173
## Solution
This merge request adds doc. comments that compensate for this and try save the user from confusion.
1. `DefaultPlugins` and `MinimalPlugins` intentions are described.
2. A strong emphasis on embracing `DefaultPlugins` as a whole but controlling what it contains with *Cargo* *features* is added – this is because the ordering in `DefaultPlugins` appears to be important so preventing users with "minimalist" foibles (That's Me!) from recreating the code seems worthwhile.
3. Notes are added explaining the confusing fact that `MinimalPlugins` contains `ScheduleRunnerPlugin` (which is very "important"-sounding) but `DefaultPlugins` does not.
# Objective
Help users understand how to write code that runs when the app is exiting.
See:
- #7067 (Partial resolution)
## Solution
Added documentation to `AppExit` class that mentions using the `Drop` trait for code that needs to run on program exit, as well as linking to the caveat about `App::run()` not being guaranteed to return.
# Objective
`bevy_ecs/system_param.rs` contains many seemingly-arbitrary struct definitions which serve as compile tests.
## Solution
Add a comment to each one, linking the issue or PR that motivated its addition.
# Objective
Shadows are broken on many_foxes on AMD GPUs. This seems to be due to rounding or floating point precision issues combined with the absolute unit of a plane that it's currently using.
Related: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6542
I'm not sure if we want to close that issue, as there's still the underlying issue of shadows breaking on overly large planes.
## Solution
Make the plane smaller.
# Objective
> ℹ️ **This is an adoption of #4081 by @james7132**
Fixes#4080.
Provide a way to pre-parse reflection paths so as to avoid having to parse at each call to `GetPath::path` (or similar method).
## Solution
Adds the `ParsedPath` struct (named `FieldPath` in the original PR) that parses and caches the sequence of accesses to a reflected element. This is functionally similar to the `GetPath` trait, but removes the need to parse an unchanged path more than once.
### Additional Changes
Included in this PR from the original is cleaner code as well as the introduction of a new pathing operation: field access by index. This allows struct and struct variant fields to be accessed in a more performant (albeit more fragile) way if needed. This operation is faster due to not having to perform string matching. As an example, if we wanted the third field on a struct, we'd write `#2`—where `#` denotes indexed access and `2` denotes the desired field index.
This PR also contains improved documentation for `GetPath` and friends, including renaming some of the methods to be more clear to the end-user with a reduced risk of getting them mixed up.
### Future Work
There are a few things that could be done as a separate PR (order doesn't matter— they could be followup PRs or done in parallel). These are:
- [x] ~~Add support for `Tuple`. Currently, we hint that they work but they do not.~~ See #7324
- [ ] Cleanup `ReflectPathError`. I think it would be nicer to give `ReflectPathError` two variants: `ReflectPathError::ParseError` and `ReflectPathError::AccessError`, with all current variants placed within one of those two. It's not obvious when one might expect to receive one type of error over the other, so we can help by explicitly categorizing them.
---
## Changelog
- Cleaned up `GetPath` logic
- Added `ParsedPath` for cached reflection paths
- Added new reflection path syntax: struct field access by index (example syntax: `foo#1`)
- Renamed methods on `GetPath`:
- `path` -> `reflect_path`
- `path_mut` -> `reflect_path_mut`
- `get_path` -> `path`
- `get_path_mut` -> `path_mut`
## Migration Guide
`GetPath` methods have been renamed according to the following:
- `path` -> `reflect_path`
- `path_mut` -> `reflect_path_mut`
- `get_path` -> `path`
- `get_path_mut` -> `path_mut`

# Objective
On wasm, bevy applications currently prevent any of the normal browser hotkeys from working normally (Ctrl+R, F12, F5, Ctrl+F5, tab, etc.).
Some of those events you may want to override, perhaps you can hold the tab key for showing in-game stats?
However, if you want to make a well-behaved game, you probably don't want to needlessly prevent that behavior unless you have a good reason.
Secondary motivation: Also, consider the workaround presented here to get audio working: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/web-audio-autoplay/#moving-forward ; It won't work (for keydown events) if we stop event propagation.
## Solution
- Winit has a field that allows it to not stop event propagation, expose it on the window settings to allow the user to choose the desired behavior. Default to `true` for backwards compatibility.
---
## Changelog
- Added `Window::prevent_default_event_handling` . This allows bevy apps to not override default browser behavior on hotkeys like F5, F12, Ctrl+R etc.
# Problemo
Some code in #5911 and #5454 does not compile with dynamic linking enabled.
The code is behind a feature gate to prevent dynamically linked builds from breaking, but it's not quite set up correctly.
## Solution
Forward the `dynamic` feature flag to the `bevy_diagnostic` crate and gate the code behind it.

# Objective
Fixes#5675. Replace `toml` with `toml_edit`
## Solution
Replace `toml` with `toml_edit`. This conveniently also removes the `serde` dependency from `bevy_macro_utils`, which may speed up cold compilation by removing the serde bottleneck from most of the macro crates in the engine.
# Objective
Speed up `prepare_uinodes`. The color `[f32; 4]` is being computed separately for every vertex in the UI, even though the color is the same for all 6 verticies.
## Solution
Avoid recomputing the color and cache it for all 6 verticies.
## Performance
On `many_buttons`, this shaved off 33% of the time in `prepare_uinodes` (7.67ms -> 5.09ms) on my local machine.
# Objective
`RenderContext`, the core abstraction for running the render graph, currently only supports recording one `CommandBuffer` across the entire render graph. This means the entire buffer must be recorded sequentially, usually via the render graph itself. This prevents parallelization and forces users to only encode their commands in the render graph.
## Solution
Allow `RenderContext` to store a `Vec<CommandBuffer>` that it progressively appends to. By default, the context will not have a command encoder, but will create one as soon as either `begin_tracked_render_pass` or the `command_encoder` accesor is first called. `RenderContext::add_command_buffer` allows users to interrupt the current command encoder, flush it to the vec, append a user-provided `CommandBuffer` and reset the command encoder to start a new buffer. Users or the render graph will call `RenderContext::finish` to retrieve the series of buffers for submitting to the queue.
This allows users to encode their own `CommandBuffer`s outside of the render graph, potentially in different threads, and store them in components or resources.
Ideally, in the future, the core pipeline passes can run in `RenderStage::Render` systems and end up saving the completed command buffers to either `Commands` or a field in `RenderPhase`.
## Alternatives
The alternative is to use to use wgpu's `RenderBundle`s, which can achieve similar results; however it's not universally available (no OpenGL, WebGL, and DX11).
---
## Changelog
Added: `RenderContext::new`
Added: `RenderContext::add_command_buffer`
Added: `RenderContext::finish`
Changed: `RenderContext::render_device` is now private. Use the accessor `RenderContext::render_device()` instead.
Changed: `RenderContext::command_encoder` is now private. Use the accessor `RenderContext::command_encoder()` instead.
Changed: `RenderContext` now supports adding external `CommandBuffer`s for inclusion into the render graphs. These buffers can be encoded outside of the render graph (i.e. in a system).
## Migration Guide
`RenderContext`'s fields are now private. Use the accessors on `RenderContext` instead, and construct it with `RenderContext::new`.

## Solution
- The existing `AlphaMode` enum is extended, adding three more modes: `AlphaMode::Premultiplied`, `AlphaMode::Add` and `AlphaMode::Multiply`;
- All new modes are rendered in the existing `Transparent3d` phase;
- The existing mesh flags for alpha mode are reorganized for a more compact/efficient representation, and new values are added;
- `MeshPipelineKey::TRANSPARENT_MAIN_PASS` is refactored into `MeshPipelineKey::BLEND_BITS`.
- `AlphaMode::Opaque` and `AlphaMode::Mask(f32)` share a single opaque pipeline key: `MeshPipelineKey::BLEND_OPAQUE`;
- `Blend`, `Premultiplied` and `Add` share a single premultiplied alpha pipeline key, `MeshPipelineKey::BLEND_PREMULTIPLIED_ALPHA`. In the shader, color values are premultiplied accordingly (or not) depending on the blend mode to produce the three different results after PBR/tone mapping/dithering;
- `Multiply` uses its own independent pipeline key, `MeshPipelineKey::BLEND_MULTIPLY`;
- Example and documentation are provided.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Added support for additive and multiplicative blend modes in the PBR `StandardMaterial`, via `AlphaMode::Add` and `AlphaMode::Multiply`;
- Added support for premultiplied alpha in the PBR `StandardMaterial`, via `AlphaMode::Premultiplied`;
Current info is not up to date as we are now using a train release model and frequently end up with PRs and issues in the milestone that are not resolved before release. As the release milestone is now mostly used for prioritizing what work gets done I updated this section to be about prioritizing PRs/issues instead of preparing releases.
# Objective
Currently, Text always uses the default linebreaking behaviour in glyph_brush_layout `BuiltInLineBreaker::Unicode` which breaks lines at word boundaries. However, glyph_brush_layout also supports breaking lines at any character by setting the linebreaker to `BuiltInLineBreaker::AnyChar`. Having text wrap character-by-character instead of at word boundaries is desirable in some cases - consider that consoles/terminals usually wrap this way.
As a side note, the default Unicode linebreaker does not seem to handle emergency cases, where there is no word boundary on a line to break at. In that case, the text runs out of bounds. Issue #1867 shows an example of this.
## Solution
Basically just copies how TextAlignment is exposed, but for a new enum TextLineBreakBehaviour.
This PR exposes glyph_brush_layout's two simple linebreaking options (Unicode, AnyChar) to users of Text via the enum TextLineBreakBehaviour (which just translates those 2 aforementioned options), plus a method 'with_linebreak_behaviour' on Text and TextBundle.
## Changelog
Added `Text::with_linebreak_behaviour`
Added `TextBundle::with_linebreak_behaviour`
`TextPipeline::queue_text` and `GlyphBrush::compute_glyphs` now need a TextLineBreakBehaviour argument, in order to pass through the new field.
Modified the `text2d` example to show both linebreaking behaviours.
## Example
Here's what the modified example looks like
# Objective
- Fixes#7294
## Solution
- Do not trigger change detection when setting the cursor position from winit
When moving the cursor continuously, Winit sends events:
- CursorMoved(0)
- CursorMoved(1)
- => start of Bevy schedule execution
- CursorMoved(2)
- CursorMoved(3)
- <= End of Bevy schedule execution
if Bevy schedule runs after the event 1, events 2 and 3 would happen during the execution but would be read only on the next system run. During the execution, the system would detect a change on cursor position, and send back an order to winit to move it back to 1, so event 2 and 3 would be ignored. By bypassing change detection when setting the cursor from winit event, it doesn't trigger sending back that change to winit out of order.
# Objective
- The changes to the MeshPipeline done for the prepass broke the shader_instancing example. The issue is that the view_layout changes based on if MSAA is enabled or not, but the example hardcoded the view_layout.
## Solution
- Don't overwrite the bind_group_layout of the descriptor since the MeshPipeline already takes care of this in the specialize function.
Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/7285
# Objective
- `Components::resource_id` doesn't exist. Like `Components::component_id` but for resources.
## Solution
- Created `Components::resource_id` and added some docs.
---
## Changelog
- Added `Components::resource_id`.
- Changed `World::init_resource` to return the generated `ComponentId`.
- Changed `World::init_non_send_resource` to return the generated `ComponentId`.
# Objective
- Fixes#7288
- Do not expose access directly to cursor position as it is the physical position, ignoring scale
## Solution
- Make cursor position private
- Expose getter/setter on the window to have access to the scale
# Objective
Fixes#6931
Continues #6954 by squashing `Msaa` to a flat enum
Helps out #7215
# Solution
```
pub enum Msaa {
Off = 1,
#[default]
Sample4 = 4,
}
```
# Changelog
- Modified
- `Msaa` is now enum
- Defaults to 4 samples
- Uses `.samples()` method to get the sample number as `u32`
# Migration Guide
```
let multi = Msaa { samples: 4 }
// is now
let multi = Msaa::Sample4
multi.samples
// is now
multi.samples()
```

After #6503, bevy_render uses the `send_blocking` method introduced in async-channel 1.7, but depended only on ^1.4.
I saw this after pulling main without running cargo update.
# Objective
- Fix minimum dependency version of async-channel
## Solution
- Bump async-channel version constraint to ^1.8, which is currently the latest version.
NOTE: Both bevy_ecs and bevy_tasks also depend on async-channel but they didn't use any newer features.
# Objective
Fixes#3184. Fixes#6640. Fixes#4798. Using `Query::par_for_each(_mut)` currently requires a `batch_size` parameter, which affects how it chunks up large archetypes and tables into smaller chunks to run in parallel. Tuning this value is difficult, as the performance characteristics entirely depends on the state of the `World` it's being run on. Typically, users will just use a flat constant and just tune it by hand until it performs well in some benchmarks. However, this is both error prone and risks overfitting the tuning on that benchmark.
This PR proposes a naive automatic batch-size computation based on the current state of the `World`.
## Background
`Query::par_for_each(_mut)` schedules a new Task for every archetype or table that it matches. Archetypes/tables larger than the batch size are chunked into smaller tasks. Assuming every entity matched by the query has an identical workload, this makes the worst case scenario involve using a batch size equal to the size of the largest matched archetype or table. Conversely, a batch size of `max {archetype, table} size / thread count * COUNT_PER_THREAD` is likely the sweetspot where the overhead of scheduling tasks is minimized, at least not without grouping small archetypes/tables together.
There is also likely a strict minimum batch size below which the overhead of scheduling these tasks is heavier than running the entire thing single-threaded.
## Solution
- [x] Remove the `batch_size` from `Query(State)::par_for_each` and friends.
- [x] Add a check to compute `batch_size = max {archeytpe/table} size / thread count * COUNT_PER_THREAD`
- [x] ~~Panic if thread count is 0.~~ Defer to `for_each` if the thread count is 1 or less.
- [x] Early return if there is no matched table/archetype.
- [x] Add override option for users have queries that strongly violate the initial assumption that all iterated entities have an equal workload.
---
## Changelog
Changed: `Query::par_for_each(_mut)` has been changed to `Query::par_iter(_mut)` and will now automatically try to produce a batch size for callers based on the current `World` state.
## Migration Guide
The `batch_size` parameter for `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)` has been removed. These calls will automatically compute a batch size for you. Remove these parameters from all calls to these functions.
Before:
```rust
fn parallel_system(query: Query<&MyComponent>) {
query.par_for_each(32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
After:
```rust
fn parallel_system(query: Query<&MyComponent>) {
query.par_iter().for_each(|comp| {
...
});
}
```

## Problem
`extract_uinodes` checks if an image is loaded for nodes without images
## Solution
Move the image loading skip check so that it is only performed for nodes with a `UiImage` component.
