# Objective
~Returning a app exit code from the winit runner is complicated and
deadlock prone.~
The code to return a app exit code is rather shoddy. It's use of mutex
is redundant, It uses unwrap when not required and can be broken by a
maintainer simply forgetting to set a value.
## Solution
Switch to using a channel.
- Deals with situations in which a event loop exits unexpectedly.
- Never panics. Even in extreme cases.
Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail
(HLODs).
This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows
developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown
and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so
this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally,
this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show
different levels of detail.
This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented
later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline;
they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering.
However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the
lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and
shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often
want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as
*octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*.
The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is
that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the
camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note
that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children;
it must be placed on every mesh.
Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the
standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to
compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering
code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in
question, so that we don't lose early Z.
Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated
with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs,
display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this
efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we
precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a
`VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system.
A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well
as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it. It
demonstrates use of the visibility range feature to provide levels of
detail.
[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering#Threshold_map
[^1]: Unreal doesn't have a feature that exactly corresponds to
visibility ranges, but Unreal's HLOD system serves roughly the same
purpose.
## Changelog
### Added
* A new `VisibilityRange` component is available to conditionally enable
entity visibility at camera distances, with optional crossfade support.
This can be used to implement different levels of detail (LODs).

# Objective
- Current config file is hard to extend
## Solution
- Instead of an hard coded list of field, the file now has a list of
`(frame, event)`, and will deal with know events (exiting or taking a
screenshot), or send an event for others that can be dealt by third
party plugins
# Objective
- I've been using the `texture_binding_array` example as a base to use
multiple textures in meshes in my program
- I only realised once I was deep in render code that these helpers
existed to create layouts
- I wish I knew the existed earlier because the alternative (filling in
every struct field) is so much more verbose
## Solution
- Use `BindGroupLayoutEntries::with_indices` to teach users that the
helper exists
- Also fix typo which should be `texture_2d`.
## Alternatives considered
- Just leave it as is to teach users about every single struct field
- However, leaving as is leaves users writing roughly 29 lines versus
roughly 2 lines for 2 entries and I'd prefer the 2 line approach
## Testing
Ran the example locally and compared before and after.

# Objective
- #12755 introduced the need to download a file to run an example
- This means the example fails to run in CI without downloading that
file
## Solution
- Add a new metadata to examples "setup" that provides setup
instructions
- Replace the URL in the meshlet example to one that can actually be
downloaded
- example-showcase execute the setup before running an example
# Objective
- Simplifies/clarifies the winit loop.
- Fixes#12612.
## Solution
The Winit loop runs following this flow:
* NewEvents
* Any number of other events, that can be 0, including RequestRedraw
* AboutToWait
Bevy also uses the UpdateMode, to define how the next loop has to run.
It can be essentially:
* Continuous, using ControlFlow::Wait for windowed apps, and
ControlFlow::Poll for windowless apps
* Reactive/ReactiveLowPower, using ControlFlow::WaitUntil with a
specific wait delay
The changes are made to follow this pattern, so that
* NewEvents define if the WaitUntil has been canceled because we
received a Winit event.
* AboutToWait:
* checks if the window has to be redrawn
* otherwise calls app.update() if the WaitUntil timeout has elapsed
* updates the ControlFlow accordingly
To make the code more logical:
* AboutToWait checks if any Bevy's RequestRedraw event has been emitted
* create_windows is run every cycle, at the beginning of the loop
* the ActiveState (that could be renamed ActivityState) is updated in
AboutToWait, symmetrically for WillSuspend/WillResume
* the AppExit events are checked every loop cycle, to exit the app early

## Summary/Description
This PR extends states to allow support for a wider variety of state
types and patterns, by providing 3 distinct types of state:
- Standard [`States`] can only be changed by manually setting the
[`NextState<S>`] resource. These states are the baseline on which the
other state types are built, and can be used on their own for many
simple patterns. See the [state
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/latest/examples/ecs/state.rs)
for a simple use case - these are the states that existed so far in
Bevy.
- [`SubStates`] are children of other states - they can be changed
manually using [`NextState<S>`], but are removed from the [`World`] if
the source states aren't in the right state. See the [sub_states
example](https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/blob/derived_state/examples/ecs/sub_states.rs)
for a simple use case based on the derive macro, or read the trait docs
for more complex scenarios.
- [`ComputedStates`] are fully derived from other states - they provide
a [`compute`](ComputedStates::compute) method that takes in the source
states and returns their derived value. They are particularly useful for
situations where a simplified view of the source states is necessary -
such as having an `InAMenu` computed state derived from a source state
that defines multiple distinct menus. See the [computed state
example](https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/blob/derived_state/examples/ecs/computed_states.rscomputed_states.rs)
to see a sampling of uses for these states.
# Objective
This PR is another attempt at allowing Bevy to better handle complex
state objects in a manner that doesn't rely on strict equality. While my
previous attempts (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10088 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9957) relied on complex matching
capacities at the point of adding a system to application, this one
instead relies on deterministically deriving simple states from more
complex ones.
As a result, it does not require any special macros, nor does it change
any other interactions with the state system once you define and add
your derived state. It also maintains a degree of distinction between
`State` and just normal application state - your derivations have to end
up being discreet pre-determined values, meaning there is less of a
risk/temptation to place a significant amount of logic and data within a
given state.
### Addition - Sub States
closes#9942
After some conversation with Maintainers & SMEs, a significant concern
was that people might attempt to use this feature as if it were
sub-states, and find themselves unable to use it appropriately. Since
`ComputedState` is mainly a state matching feature, while `SubStates`
are more of a state mutation related feature - but one that is easy to
add with the help of the machinery introduced by `ComputedState`, it was
added here as well. The relevant discussion is here:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1200556329803186316
## Solution
closes#11358
The solution is to create a new type of state - one implementing
`ComputedStates` - which is deterministically tied to one or more other
states. Implementors write a function to transform the source states
into the computed state, and it gets triggered whenever one of the
source states changes.
In addition, we added the `FreelyMutableState` trait , which is
implemented as part of the derive macro for `States`. This allows us to
limit use of `NextState<S>` to states that are actually mutable,
preventing mis-use of `ComputedStates`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `ComputedStates` trait
- Added `FreelyMutableState` trait
- Converted `NextState` resource to an Enum, with `Unchanged` and
`Pending`
- Added `App::add_computed_state::<S: ComputedStates>()`, to allow for
easily adding derived states to an App.
- Moved the `StateTransition` schedule label from `bevy_app` to
`bevy_ecs` - but maintained the export in `bevy_app` for continuity.
- Modified the process for updating states. Instead of just having an
`apply_state_transition` system that can be added anywhere, we now have
a multi-stage process that has to run within the `StateTransition`
label. First, all the state changes are calculated - manual transitions
rely on `apply_state_transition`, while computed transitions run their
computation process before both call `internal_apply_state_transition`
to apply the transition, send out the transition event, trigger
dependent states, and record which exit/transition/enter schedules need
to occur. Once all the states have been updated, the transition
schedules are called - first the exit schedules, then transition
schedules and finally enter schedules.
- Added `SubStates` trait
- Adjusted `apply_state_transition` to be a no-op if the `State<S>`
resource doesn't exist
## Migration Guide
If the user accessed the NextState resource's value directly or created
them from scratch they will need to adjust to use the new enum variants:
- if they created a `NextState(Some(S))` - they should now use
`NextState::Pending(S)`
- if they created a `NextState(None)` -they should now use
`NextState::Unchanged`
- if they matched on the `NextState` value, they would need to make the
adjustments above
If the user manually utilized `apply_state_transition`, they should
instead use systems that trigger the `StateTransition` schedule.
---
## Future Work
There is still some future potential work in the area, but I wanted to
keep these potential features and changes separate to keep the scope
here contained, and keep the core of it easy to understand and use.
However, I do want to note some of these things, both as inspiration to
others and an illustration of what this PR could unlock.
- `NextState::Remove` - Now that the `State` related mechanisms all
utilize options (#11417), it's fairly easy to add support for explicit
state removal. And while `ComputedStates` can add and remove themselves,
right now `FreelyMutableState`s can't be removed from within the state
system. While it existed originally in this PR, it is a different
question with a separate scope and usability concerns - so having it as
it's own future PR seems like the best approach. This feature currently
lives in a separate branch in my fork, and the differences between it
and this PR can be seen here: https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/pull/5
- `NextState::ReEnter` - this would allow you to trigger exit & entry
systems for the current state type. We can potentially also add a
`NextState::ReEnterRecirsive` to also re-trigger any states that depend
on the current one.
- More mechanisms for `State` updates - This PR would finally make
states that aren't a set of exclusive Enums useful, and with that comes
the question of setting state more effectively. Right now, to update a
state you either need to fully create the new state, or include the
`Res<Option<State<S>>>` resource in your system, clone the state, mutate
it, and then use `NextState.set(my_mutated_state)` to make it the
pending next state. There are a few other potential methods that could
be implemented in future PRs:
- Inverse Compute States - these would essentially be compute states
that have an additional (manually defined) function that can be used to
nudge the source states so that they result in the computed states
having a given value. For example, you could use set the `IsPaused`
state, and it would attempt to pause or unpause the game by modifying
the `AppState` as needed.
- Closure-based state modification - this would involve adding a
`NextState.modify(f: impl Fn(Option<S> -> Option<S>)` method, and then
you can pass in closures or function pointers to adjust the state as
needed.
- Message-based state modification - this would involve either creating
states that can respond to specific messages, similar to Elm or Redux.
These could either use the `NextState` mechanism or the Event mechanism.
- ~`SubStates` - which are essentially a hybrid of computed and manual
states. In the simplest (and most likely) version, they would work by
having a computed element that determines whether the state should
exist, and if it should has the capacity to add a new version in, but
then any changes to it's content would be freely mutated.~ this feature
is now part of this PR. See above.
- Lastly, since states are getting more complex there might be value in
moving them out of `bevy_ecs` and into their own crate, or at least out
of the `schedule` module into a `states` module. #11087
As mentioned, all these future work elements are TBD and are explicitly
not part of this PR - I just wanted to provide them as potential
explorations for the future.

# Objective
- `README.md` is a common file that usually gives an overview of the
folder it is in.
- When on <https://crates.io>, `README.md` is rendered as the main
description.
- Many crates in this repository are lacking `README.md` files, which
makes it more difficult to understand their purpose.
<img width="1552" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/59022059/78ebf91d-b0c4-4b18-9874-365d6310640f">
- There are also a few inconsistencies with `README.md` files that this
PR and its follow-ups intend to fix.
## Solution
- Create a `README.md` file for all crates that do not have one.
- This file only contains the title of the crate (underscores removed,
proper capitalization, acronyms expanded) and the <https://shields.io>
badges.
- Remove the `readme` field in `Cargo.toml` for `bevy` and
`bevy_reflect`.
- This field is redundant because [Cargo automatically detects
`README.md`
files](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-readme-field).
The field is only there if you name it something else, like `INFO.md`.
- Fix capitalization of `bevy_utils`'s `README.md`.
- It was originally `Readme.md`, which is inconsistent with the rest of
the project.
- I created two commits renaming it to `README.md`, because Git appears
to be case-insensitive.
- Expand acronyms in title of `bevy_ptr` and `bevy_utils`.
- In the commit where I created all the new `README.md` files, I
preferred using expanded acronyms in the titles. (E.g. "Bevy Developer
Tools" instead of "Bevy Dev Tools".)
- This commit changes the title of existing `README.md` files to follow
the same scheme.
- I do not feel strongly about this change, please comment if you
disagree and I can revert it.
- Add <https://shields.io> badges to `bevy_time` and `bevy_transform`,
which are the only crates currently lacking them.
---
## Changelog
- Added `README.md` files to all crates missing it.
# Objective
- Update glam version requirement to latest version.
## Solution
- Updated `glam` version requirement from 0.25 to 0.27.
- Updated `encase` and `encase_derive_impl` version requirement from 0.7
to 0.8.
- Updated `hexasphere` version requirement from 10.0 to 12.0.
- Breaking changes from glam changelog:
- [0.26.0] Minimum Supported Rust Version bumped to 1.68.2 for impl
From<bool> for {f32,f64} support.
- [0.27.0] Changed implementation of vector fract method to match the
Rust implementation instead of the GLSL implementation, that is self -
self.trunc() instead of self - self.floor().
---
## Migration Guide
- When using `glam` exports, keep in mind that `vector` `fract()` method
now matches Rust implementation (that is `self - self.trunc()` instead
of `self - self.floor()`). If you want to use the GLSL implementation
you should now use `fract_gl()`.

# Objective
- Make `Result<T, E>` implement Reflect such that it is an Enum rather
than a Value
- Fixes#13178
## Solution
- Use the correct macro
## Testing
- Did you test these changes?
I tried it out locally, and it does what it says on the tin. Not sure
how to test it in context of the crate?
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Result now uses `ReflectKind::Enum` rather than `ReflectKind::Value`,
allowing for inspection of its constituents
## Migration Guide
`Result<T, E>` has had its `Reflect` implementation changed to align it
with `Option<T>` and its intended semantics: A carrier of either an `Ok`
or `Err` value, and the ability to access it. To achieve this it is no
longer a `ReflectKind::Value` but rather a `ReflectKind::Enum` and as
such carries these changes with it:
For `Result<T, E>`
- Both `T` and `E` no longer require to be `Clone` and now require to be
`FromReflect`
- `<Result<T, E> as Reflect>::reflect_*` now returns a
`ReflectKind::Enum`, so any code that previously relied on it being a
`Value` kind will have to be adapted.
- `Result<T, E>` now implements `Enum`
Since the migration is highly dependent on the previous usage, no
automatic upgrade path can be given.

# Objective
The existing labels are inadequate for keeping track of the state of
work at a glance. They're also inadequate for finding work that's at an
appropriate difficulty level to either implement or review.
## Solution
- Add a complete set of difficulty labels
- Move `S-Controversial` into its own category
- Adding a complete set of controversiality labels, adding
`X-Uncontroversial` and `X-Contentious`
- Add a complete set of status labels: adding `S-Needs-Testing`,
`S-Needs-Review` and `S-Waiting-On-Author`

# Objective
- Bevy has a large number of open PRs in the backlog.
- When there are problems with these PRs, contributors, maintainers and
SMEs are all often left wondering what to do with them and are reluctant
to close them fully.
- Instead, PRs that are a bad idea end up sititng with Controversial
status forever, while severely rotten PRs have Adopt-Me on them when it
would be more appropriate to simply remake them.
## Solution
- Add clear guidance on how and when to close PRs.

This commit expands Bevy's existing tonemapping feature to a complete
set of filmic color grading tools, matching those of engines like Unity,
Unreal, and Godot. The following features are supported:
* White point adjustment. This is inspired by Unity's implementation of
the feature, but simplified and optimized. *Temperature* and *tint*
control the adjustments to the *x* and *y* chromaticity values of [CIE
1931]. Following Unity, the adjustments are made relative to the [D65
standard illuminant] in the [LMS color space].
* Hue rotation. This simply converts the RGB value to [HSV], alters the
hue, and converts back.
* Color correction. This allows the *gamma*, *gain*, and *lift* values
to be adjusted according to the standard [ASC CDL combined function].
* Separate color correction for shadows, midtones, and highlights.
Blender's source code was used as a reference for the implementation of
this. The midtone ranges can be adjusted by the user. To avoid abrupt
color changes, a small crossfade is used between the different sections
of the image, again following Blender's formulas.
A new example, `color_grading`, has been added, offering a GUI to change
all the color grading settings. It uses the same test scene as the
existing `tonemapping` example, which has been factored out into a
shared glTF scene.

## Changelog
### Added
* Many new filmic color grading options have been added to the
`ColorGrading` component.
## Migration Guide
* `ColorGrading::gamma` and `ColorGrading::pre_saturation` are now set
separately for the `shadows`, `midtones`, and `highlights` sections. You
can migrate code with the `ColorGrading::all_sections` and
`ColorGrading::all_sections_mut` functions, which access and/or update
all sections at once.
* `ColorGrading::post_saturation` and `ColorGrading::exposure` are now
fields of `ColorGrading::global`.

Requesting reviews is a useful tool for improving discoverability of PRs
that contributors might be interested in and capable of reviewing.
However, many Bevy org members and authors aren't aware that they can

# Objective
The `Events` containerr should be reflectable, in order to make dev
tools that examine its state more useful.

# Objective
- `config_fast_builds.toml` could use some general improvements and
additions.
- [Mold](https://github.com/rui314/mold) is a modern linker with serious
performance improvements that provides a good alternative to LLD.
- This is exactly the same as #12949; I accidentally deleted the branch.
😅
## Solution
- Majorly improve `config_fast_builds.toml`.
- Add further documentation.
- Add a section for the alternative Mold linker, which is **much**
faster.
- Disable nightly options by default so that developers running stable
can copy the file without having to edit it. (Nightly is still
recommended, but this is following suite with `rustfmt.toml`.)
---
## Changelog
- Majorly improved `config_fast_builds.toml` documentation and added
Mold linker.
# Objective
- Enables support for `Display::Block`
- Enables support for `Overflow::Hidden`
- Allows for cleaner integration with text, image and other content
layout.
- Unblocks https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8104
- Unlocks the possibility of Bevy creating a custom layout tree over
which Taffy operates.
- Enables #8808 / #10193 to remove a Mutex around the font system.
## Todo
- [x] ~Fix rendering of text/images to account for padding/border on
nodes (should size/position to content box rather than border box)~ In
order get this into a mergeable state this PR instead zeroes out
padding/border when syncing leaf node styles into Taffy to preserve the
existing behaviour. https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6879 can
be fixed in a followup PR.
## Solution
- Update the version of Taffy
- Update code to work with the new version
Note: Taffy 0.4 has not yet been released. This PR is being created in
advance of the release to ensure that there are no blockers to upgrading
once the release occurs.
---
## Changelog
- Bevy now supports the `Display::Block` and `Overflow::Hidden` styles.
# Objective
A `RawWindowHandle` is only valid as long as the window it was retrieved
from is alive. Extend the lifetime of the window, so that the
`RawWindowHandle` doesn't outlive it, and bevy doesn't crash when
closing a window a pipelined renderer is drawing to.
- Fix#11236
- Fix#11150
- Fix#11734
- Alternative to / Closes#12524
## Solution
Introduce a `WindowWrapper` that takes ownership of the window. Require
it to be used when constructing a `RawHandleWrapper`. This forces
windowing backends to store their window in this wrapper.
The `WindowWrapper` is implemented by storing the window in an `Arc<dyn
Any + Send + Sync>`.
We use dynamic dispatch here because we later want the
`RawHandleWrapper` to be able dynamically hold a reference to any
windowing backend's window.
But alas, the `WindowWrapper` itself is still practically invisible to
windowing backends, because it implements `Deref` to the underlying
window, by storing its type in a `PhantomData`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Added `WindowWrapper`, which windowing backends are now required to
use to store their underlying window.
### Fixed
- Fixed a safety problem which caused crashes when closing bevy windows
when using pipelined rendering.
## Migration Guide
- Windowing backends now need to store their window in the new
`WindowWrapper`.
In #12889, I mistakenly started dropping unbatchable sorted items on the
floor instead of giving them solitary batches. This caused the objects
in the `shader_instancing` demo to stop showing up. This patch fixes the
issue by giving those items their own batches as expected.
Fixes#13130.
# Objective
- Many of the items in the `ci` tool use `pub(crate)`, which is
functionally equivalent to `pub` when the crate is not a library.
- A few items are missing documentation.
## Solution
- Make all `pub(crate)` items just `pub`.
- `pub` is easier to type and less obscure, and there's not harm from
this change.
- Add / modify documentation on `CI`, `Prepare`, and `PreparedCommand`.
# Objective
- Partially resolves#12639.
## Solution
- Deprecate `ReceivedCharacter`.
- Replace `ReceivedCharacter` with `KeyboardInput` in the relevant
examples.
## Migration Guide
- `ReceivedCharacter` is now deprecated, use `KeyboardInput` instead.
- Before:
```rust
fn listen_characters(events: EventReader<ReceivedCharacter>) {
for event in events.read() {
info!("{}", event.char);
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn listen_characters(events: EventReader<KeyboardInput>) {
for event in events.read() {
// Only check for characters when the key is pressed.
if event.state == ButtonState::Released {
continue;
}
// Note that some keys such as `Space` and `Tab` won't be detected as
before.
// Instead, check for them with `Key::Space` and `Key::Tab`.
if let Key::Character(character) = &event.logical_key {
info!("{}", character);
}
}
}
```

# Objective
- `from_reflect_or_world` is an internal utilty used in the
implementations of `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` to create a
`T` given a `&dyn Reflect` by trying to use `FromReflect`, and if that
fails it falls back to `ReflectFromWorld`
- reflecting `FromWorld` is not intuitive though: often it is implicitly
implemented by deriving `Default` so people might not even be aware of
it.
- the panic messages mentioning `ReflectFromWorld` are not directly
correlated to what the user would have to do (reflect `FromWorld`)
## Solution
- Also check for `ReflectDefault` in addition to `ReflectFromWorld`.
- Change the panic messages to mention the reflected trait rather than
the `Reflect*` types.
---
## Changelog
- `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` no longer require `T:
FromReflect` but instead only `T: Reflect`.
- `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` will also work with types that
only reflected `Default` and not `FromWorld`.
## Migration Guide
- `ReflectBundle::insert` now requires an additional `&TypeRegistry`
parameter.

# Objective
I have been trying to check for the existing of some plugins via
`App::is_plugin_added` to conditionally run some behaviour in the
`Plugin::finish` part of my plugin, before realizing that the plugin
registry is actually not available during this step.
This is because the `App::is_plugin_added` using the plugin registry to
check for previous registration.
## Solution
- Switch the `App::is_plugin_added` to use the list of plugin names to
check for previous registrations
- Add a unit test showcasing that `App::is_plugin_added` works during
`Plugin::finish`
This commit implements opt-in GPU frustum culling, built on top of the
infrastructure in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12773. To
enable it on a camera, add the `GpuCulling` component to it. To
additionally disable CPU frustum culling, add the `NoCpuCulling`
component. Note that adding `GpuCulling` without `NoCpuCulling`
*currently* does nothing useful. The reason why `GpuCulling` doesn't
automatically imply `NoCpuCulling` is that I intend to follow this patch
up with GPU two-phase occlusion culling, and CPU frustum culling plus
GPU occlusion culling seems like a very commonly-desired mode.
Adding the `GpuCulling` component to a view puts that view into
*indirect mode*. This mode makes all drawcalls indirect, relying on the
mesh preprocessing shader to allocate instances dynamically. In indirect
mode, the `PreprocessWorkItem` `output_index` points not to a
`MeshUniform` instance slot but instead to a set of `wgpu`
`IndirectParameters`, from which it allocates an instance slot
dynamically if frustum culling succeeds. Batch building has been updated
to allocate and track indirect parameter slots, and the AABBs are now
supplied to the GPU as `MeshCullingData`.
A small amount of code relating to the frustum culling has been borrowed
from meshlets and moved into `maths.wgsl`. Note that standard Bevy
frustum culling uses AABBs, while meshlets use bounding spheres; this
means that not as much code can be shared as one might think.
This patch doesn't provide any way to perform GPU culling on shadow
maps, to avoid making this patch bigger than it already is. That can be
a followup.
## Changelog
### Added
* Frustum culling can now optionally be done on the GPU. To enable it,
add the `GpuCulling` component to a camera.
* To disable CPU frustum culling, add `NoCpuCulling` to a camera. Note
that `GpuCulling` doesn't automatically imply `NoCpuCulling`.
# Objective
- There is an unfortunate lack of dragons in the meshlet docs.
- Dragons are symbolic of majesty, power, storms, and meshlets.
- A dragon habitat such as our docs requires cultivation to ensure each
winged lizard reaches their fullest, fiery selves.
## Solution
- Fix the link to the dragon image.
- The link originally targeted the `meshlet` branch, but that was later
deleted after it was merged into `main`.
---
## Changelog
- Added a dragon back into the `MeshletPlugin` documentation.
Keeping track of explicit visibility per cluster between frames does not
work with LODs, and leads to worse culling (using the final depth buffer
from the previous frame is more accurate).
Instead, we need to generate a second depth pyramid after the second
raster pass, and then use that in the first culling pass in the next
frame to test if a cluster would have been visible last frame or not.
As part of these changes, the write_index_buffer pass has been folded
into the culling pass for a large performance gain, and to avoid
tracking a lot of extra state that would be needed between passes.
Prepass previous model/view stuff was adapted to work with meshlets as
well.
Also fixed a bug with materials, and other misc improvements.

# Objective
- Provide feedback when an extraction plugin fails to add its system.
I had some troubleshooting pain when this happened to me, as the panic
only tells you a resource is missing. This PR adds an error when the
ExtractResource plugin is added before the render world exists, instead
of silently failing.

# Objective
- Since #12622 example `compute_shader_game_of_life` crashes
```
thread 'Compute Task Pool (2)' panicked at examples/shader/compute_shader_game_of_life.rs:137:65:
called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value

Did you forget to add it using `app.insert_resource` / `app.init_resource`?
Resources are also implicitly added via `app.add_event`,
and can be added by plugins.

## Solution
- `exhausted()` now checks that there is a limit
# Objective
Make compile fail tests less likely to break with new Rust versions.
Closes#12627
## Solution
Switch from [`trybuild`](https://github.com/dtolnay/trybuild) to
[`ui_test`](https://github.com/oli-obk/ui_test).

# Objective
Fix https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11799 and improve
`CameraProjectionPlugin`
## Solution
`CameraProjectionPlugin` is now an all-in-one plugin for adding a custom
`CameraProjection`. I also added `PbrProjectionPlugin` which is like
`CameraProjectionPlugin` but for PBR.
P.S. I'd like to get this merged after
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11766.
---
## Changelog
- Changed `CameraProjectionPlugin` to be an all-in-one plugin for adding
a `CameraProjection`
- Removed `VisibilitySystems::{UpdateOrthographicFrusta,
UpdatePerspectiveFrusta, UpdateProjectionFrusta}`, now replaced with
`VisibilitySystems::UpdateFrusta`
- Added `PbrProjectionPlugin` for projection-specific PBR functionality.
## Migration Guide
`VisibilitySystems`'s `UpdateOrthographicFrusta`,
`UpdatePerspectiveFrusta`, and `UpdateProjectionFrusta` variants were
removed, they were replaced with `VisibilitySystems::UpdateFrusta`
# Objective
- #12500 broke rotating ui nodes, see examples `pbr` (missing "metallic"
label) or `overflow_debug` (bottom right box is empty)
## Solution
- Pass the untransformed node size to the shader
# Objective
- clean up extract_mesh_(gpu/cpu)_building
## Solution
- gpu_building no need to hold `prev_render_mesh_instances`
- using `insert_unique_unchecked` instead of simple insert as we know
all entities are unique
- direcly get `previous_input_index ` in par_loop
## Performance
this should also bring a slight performance win.

# Objective
allow throttling of gpu uploads to prevent choppy framerate when many
textures/meshes are loaded in.
## Solution
- `RenderAsset`s can implement `byte_len()` which reports their size.
implemented this for `Mesh` and `Image`
- users can add a `RenderAssetBytesPerFrame` which specifies max bytes
to attempt to upload in a frame
- `render_assets::<A>` checks how many bytes have been written before
attempting to upload assets. the limit is a soft cap: assets will be
written until the total has exceeded the cap, to ensure some forward
progress every frame
notes:
- this is a stopgap until we have multiple wgpu queues for proper
streaming of data
- requires #12606
issues
- ~~fonts sometimes only partially upload. i have no clue why, needs to
be fixed~~ fixed now.
- choosing the #bytes is tricky as it should be hardware / framerate
dependent
- many features are not tested (env maps, light probes, etc) - they
won't break unless `RenderAssetBytesPerFrame` is explicitly used though

# Objective
- The [`version`] field in `Cargo.toml` is optional for crates not
published on <https://crates.io>.
- We have several `publish = false` tools in this repository that still
have a version field, even when it's not useful.
[`version`]:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-version-field
## Solution
- Remove the [`version`] field for all crates where `publish = false`.
- Update the description on a few crates and remove extra newlines as
well.
# Objective
- Provide a way to iterate over the registered TypeData.
## Solution
- a new method on the `TypeRegistry` that iterates over
`TypeRegistrations` with theirs `TypeData`

# Objective
- People have reported bounding volumes being slower than their existing
solution because it doesn't use SIMD aligned types.
## Solution
- Use `Vec3A` internally for bounding volumes, accepting `Into<Vec3A>`
wherever possible
- Change some code to make it more likely SIMD operations are used.
---
## Changelog
- Use `Vec3A` for 3D bounding volumes and raycasts
## Migration Guide
- 3D bounding volumes now use `Vec3A` types internally, return values
from methods on them now return `Vec3A` instead of `Vec3`
# Objective
- Currently all `ci` commands are in the `subcommands` module. This is
problematic when you want to implement actually subcommands (such as
`cargo r -p ci -- doc check`).
- All command modules include the `_command` suffix, which is redundant.
## Solution
- Move `commands` modules into root crate folder.
- Merge contents of `commands/mod.rs` into `main.rs`.
- Move `commands::subcommands` module into `commands` module.
- Remove the `_command` suffix from all `commands::subcommands` modules.
# Objective
- Better `SystemId` <-> `Entity` conversion.
## Solution
- Provide a method `SystemId::from_entity` to create a `SystemId<I, O>`
form an `Entity`. When users want to deal with the entities manually
they need a way to convert the `Entity` back to a `SystemId` to actually
run the system with `Commands` or `World`.
- Provide a method `SystemId::entity` that returns an `Entity` from
`SystemId`. The current `From` impl is not very discoverable as it does
not appear on the `SystemId` doc page.
- Remove old `From` impl.
## Migration Guide
```rust
let system_id = world.register_system(my_sys);
// old
let entity = Entity::from(system_id);
// new
let entity = system_id.entity();
```

# Objective
Fixes#11476
## Solution
Give the pipeline its own "mesh2d instances hashmap."
Pretty sure this is a good fix, but I am not super familiar with this
code so a rendering expert should take a look.

# Objective
- Adds per-object motion blur to the core 3d pipeline. This is a common
effect used in games and other simulations.
- Partially resolves#4710
## Solution
- This is a post-process effect that uses the depth and motion vector
buffers to estimate per-object motion blur. The implementation is
combined from knowledge from multiple papers and articles. The approach
itself, and the shader are quite simple. Most of the effort was in
wiring up the bevy rendering plumbing, and properly specializing for HDR
and MSAA.
- To work with MSAA, the MULTISAMPLED_SHADING wgpu capability is
required. I've extracted this code from #9000. This is because the
prepass buffers are multisampled, and require accessing with
`textureLoad` as opposed to the widely compatible `textureSample`.
- Added an example to demonstrate the effect of motion blur parameters.
## Future Improvements
- While this approach does have limitations, it's one of the most
commonly used, and is much better than camera motion blur, which does
not consider object velocity. For example, this implementation allows a
dolly to track an object, and that object will remain unblurred while
the background is blurred. The biggest issue with this implementation is
that blur is constrained to the boundaries of objects which results in
hard edges. There are solutions to this by either dilating the object or
the motion vector buffer, or by taking a different approach such as
https://casual-effects.com/research/McGuire2012Blur/index.html
- I'm using a noise PRNG function to jitter samples. This could be
replaced with a blue noise texture lookup or similar, however after
playing with the parameters, it gives quite nice results with 4 samples,
and is significantly better than the artifacts generated when not
jittering.
---
## Changelog
- Added: per-object motion blur. This can be enabled and configured by
adding the `MotionBlurBundle` to a camera entity.

* Maintainers count as community members
* The review of the maintainer wanting to merge the PR counts
In practice this means that if a maintainer approves a PR, they would no
longer need two reviews from _other_ community members, only one.
# Objective
- Closes#12958
## Solution
- Find all methods under `Query` that mention panicking, and add
`#[track_caller]` to them.
---
## Changelog
- Added `#[track_caller]` to `Query::many`, `Query::many_mut`,
`Query::transmute_lens`, and `Query::transmute_lens_filtered`.
## For reviewers
I'm unfamiliar with the depths of the `Query` struct. Please check
whether it makes since for the updated methods to have
`#[track_caller]`, and if I missed any!
