# Objective
A bunch of code is used only if you care about the `Curve` trait. Put it
behind a feature so it can be ignored if wanted.
## Solution
Added a default feature `curve` to `bevy_math` which feature-gates the
`curve` module and internal integrations.
## Testing
Tested compiling with the feature enabled and disabled.
# Objective
Continue migration of bevy APIs to required components, following
guidance of https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/
## Solution
- Make `Sprite` require `Transform` and `Visibility` and
`SyncToRenderWorld`
- move image and texture atlas handles into `Sprite`
- deprecate `SpriteBundle`
- remove engine uses of `SpriteBundle`
## Testing
ran cargo tests on bevy_sprite and tested several sprite examples.
---
## Migration Guide
Replace all uses of `SpriteBundle` with `Sprite`. There are several new
convenience constructors: `Sprite::from_image`,
`Sprite::from_atlas_image`, `Sprite::from_color`.
WARNING: use of `Handle<Image>` and `TextureAtlas` as components on
sprite entities will NO LONGER WORK. Use the fields on `Sprite` instead.
I would have removed the `Component` impls from `TextureAtlas` and
`Handle<Image>` except it is still used within ui. We should fix this
moving forward with the migration.
# Objective
- Closes#15752
Calling the functions `App::observe` and `World::observe` doesn't make
sense because you're not "observing" the `App` or `World`, you're adding
an observer that listens for an event that occurs *within* the `World`.
We should rename them to better fit this.
## Solution
Renames:
- `App::observe` -> `App::add_observer`
- `World::observe` -> `World::add_observer`
- `Commands::observe` -> `Commands::add_observer`
- `EntityWorldMut::observe_entity` -> `EntityWorldMut::observe`
(Note this isn't a breaking change as the original rename was introduced
earlier this cycle.)
## Testing
Reusing current tests.
# Objective
- The `scrolling_fog` example has a camera with the
`TemporalAntiAliasing` component, but it's missing the `Msaa::Off`
component, which leads to this warning being printed on current `main`:
```
WARN bevy_core_pipeline::taa: Temporal anti-aliasing requires MSAA to be disabled
```
## Solution
- This PR adds the `Msaa::Off` component to the example to explicitly
disable MSAA in favor of TAA.
# Objective
Fixes#15726
The extraction logic for components makes use of `FromReflect` to try
and ensure we have a concrete type for serialization. However, we did
not do the same for resources.
The reason we're seeing this for the glam types is that #15174 also made
a change to rely on the glam type's `Serialize` and `Deserialize` impls,
which I don't think should have been merged (I'll put up a PR addressing
this specifically soon).
## Solution
Use `FromReflect` on extracted resources.
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_scene
```
# Objective
Getting closer to the end! Another part of the required components
migration: reflection probes.
## Solution
As per the [proposal added by
Cart](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FNmpIh0tGSiayGlswbfcEzw)
(Proposal 2), make `LightProbe` require `Transform` and `Visibility`,
and deprecate `ReflectionProbeBundle`.
Note that this proposal wasn't officially blessed yet, but it is the
only existing one that really works, so I implemented it here for
consideration.
## Testing
I ran the reflection probe example, and it appears to work.
---
## Migration Guide
`ReflectionProbeBundle` has been deprecated in favor of inserting the
`LightProbe` and `EnvironmentMapLight` components directly. Inserting
them will now automatically insert `Transform` and `Visibility`
components.

# Objective
- Fixes#15285
## Solution
`winit` sends resized to zero events when the window is minimized only
on Windows OS(rust-windowing/winit#2015).
This makes updating window viewport size to `(0, 0)` and panicking when
calculating aspect ratio.
~~So, just skip these kinds of events - resizing to (0, 0) when the
window is minimized - on Windows OS~~
Idially, the camera extraction excludes the cameras whose target size
width or height is zero here;
25bfa80e60/crates/bevy_render/src/camera/camera.rs (L1060-L1074)
but it seems that winit event loop sends resize events after extraction
and before post update schedule, so they might panics before the
extraction filters them out.
Alternatively, it might be possible to change event loop evaluating
order or defer them to the right schedule but I'm afraid that it might
cause some breaking changes, so just skip rendering logics for such
windows and they will be all filtered out by the extractions on the next
frame and thereafter.
## Testing
Running the example in the original issue and minimizing causes panic,
or just running `tests/window/minimising.rs` with `cargo run --example
minimising` panics without this PR and doesn't panics with this PR.
I think that we should run it in CI on Windows OS btw
# Objective
- Fixes (partially) #15701.
## Solution
- Use little-endian bytes over native-endian bytes where applicable.
## Testing
- Ran CI.
## Open Questions
- Should we config-gate these for big-endian targets? It looks like
there are [very few
targets](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.html)
that use big-endian.
# Objective
- Closes#15717
## Solution
- Wrap the handle in a new wrapper component: `AnimationGraphHandle`.
## Testing
Searched for all instances of `AnimationGraph` in the examples and
updated and tested those
## Migration Guide
`Handle<AnimationGraph>` is no longer a component. Instead, use the
`AnimationGraphHandle` component which contains a
`Handle<AnimationGraph>`.
# Objective
Fixes#15741
## Solution
- Copied the feature gates of a type to where the type is used.
## Testing
- `cargo check` works now using only the bevy_dev_tools feature
# Objective
- After #15711 which added a column to the example, the point of a curve
was too close to the next curve
## Solution
- Make it closer to its own
# Objective
- Size is currently hardcoded in the shader which means it will break if
a user uses anything higher than that.
## Solution
- Use a shader_def to define the size
## Testing
Tested with the OIT example
# Objective
The UI text rendering is really slow because it extracts each glyph as a
separate ui node even though all the glyphs in a text section have the
same texture, color and clipping rects.
## Solution
Store the glyphs in a seperate contiguous array, queue one transparent
ui item per text section which has indices into the glyph array.
## Testing
```cargo run --example many_glyphs --release```
Runs at about 22fps on main and 95fps with this PR on my computer.
I'll do some proper comparisons once I work out why tracy 11 is refusing to run.

# Objective
Fixes#15560
Fixes (most of) #15570
Currently a lot of examples (and presumably some user code) depend on
toggling certain render features by adding/removing a single component
to an entity, e.g. `SpotLight` to toggle a light. Because of the
retained render world this no longer works: Extract will add any new
components, but when it is removed the entity persists unchanged in the
render world.
## Solution
Add `SyncComponentPlugin<C: Component>` that registers
`SyncToRenderWorld` as a required component for `C`, and adds a
component hook that will clear all components from the render world
entity when `C` is removed. We add this plugin to
`ExtractComponentPlugin` which fixes most instances of the problem. For
custom extraction logic we can manually add `SyncComponentPlugin` for
that component.
We also rename `WorldSyncPlugin` to `SyncWorldPlugin` so we start a
naming convention like all the `Extract` plugins.
In this PR I also fixed a bunch of breakage related to the retained
render world, stemming from old code that assumed that `Entity` would be
the same in both worlds.
I found that using the `RenderEntity` wrapper instead of `Entity` in
data structures when referring to render world entities makes intent
much clearer, so I propose we make this an official pattern.
## Testing
Run examples like
```
cargo run --features pbr_multi_layer_material_textures --example clearcoat
cargo run --example volumetric_fog
```
and see that they work, and that toggles work correctly. But really we
should test every single example, as we might not even have caught all
the breakage yet.

## Migration Guide
The retained render world notes should be updated to explain this edge
case and `SyncComponentPlugin`

# Objective
- `interpolation` crates provides all the curves functions, but some of
them were wrong
- We have a partial solution where some functions comes from the
external crate, some from bevy_math
## Solution
- Move them all to bevy_math
- Remove the dependency on `interpolation`
## Testing
Playing the `easing_functions` example
This PR improves the `fps_overlay` example by adding:
1. The ability to increase the overlay font size (previously, only
decreasing the size was supported).
2. A toggle for overlay color between red and green (previously, it only
changed from green to red without toggling back).
# Objective
As discussed in #15591, this warning prevents us from storing leaf nodes
without a `Style` component. Because text sections (as distinct
entities) should not be laid out using `taffy`, this warning is
incorrect.
Users may also have other uses for doing this, and this should generally
increase flexibility without posing particularly serious correctness
concerns.
## Solution
- removed warning about non-UI children with UI parents
- improved the warning about UI parents with non-UI parents
- this warning should stay, for now, as it results in a genuine failure
to perform `taffy` layout
- that said, we should be clearer about the cause and potentially
harmful results of this!
## Testing
I inserted an empty entity into the hierarchy in the `button` example as
a leaf node, and it ran with no warnings.
# Objective
Simplify the API surrounding easing curves. Broaden the base of types
that support easing.
## Solution
There is now a single library function, `easing_curve`, which constructs
a unit-parametrized easing curve between two values based on an
`EaseFunction`:
```rust
/// Given a `start` and `end` value, create a curve parametrized over [the unit interval]
/// that connects them, using the given [ease function] to determine the form of the
/// curve in between.
///
/// [the unit interval]: Interval::UNIT
/// [ease function]: EaseFunction
pub fn easing_curve<T: Ease>(start: T, end: T, ease_fn: EaseFunction) -> EasingCurve<T> { //... }
```
As this shows, the type of the output curve is generic only in `T`. In
particular, as long as `T` is `Reflect` (and `FromReflect` etc. — i.e.,
a standard "well-behaved" reflectable type), `EasingCurve<T>` is also
`Reflect`, and there is no special field handling nonsense. Therefore,
`EasingCurve` is the kind of thing that would be able to be easily
changed in an editor. This is made possible by storing the actual
`EaseFunction` on `EasingCurve<T>` instead of indirecting through some
kind of function type (which generally leads to issues with reflection).
The types that can be eased are those that implement a trait `Ease`:
```rust
/// A type whose values can be eased between.
///
/// This requires the construction of an interpolation curve that actually extends
/// beyond the curve segment that connects two values, because an easing curve may
/// extrapolate before the starting value and after the ending value. This is
/// especially common in easing functions that mimic elastic or springlike behavior.
pub trait Ease: Sized {
/// Given `start` and `end` values, produce a curve with [unlimited domain]
/// that:
/// - takes a value equivalent to `start` at `t = 0`
/// - takes a value equivalent to `end` at `t = 1`
/// - has constant speed everywhere, including outside of `[0, 1]`
///
/// [unlimited domain]: Interval::EVERYWHERE
fn interpolating_curve_unbounded(start: &Self, end: &Self) -> impl Curve<Self>;
}
```
(I know, I know, yet *another* interpolation trait. See 'Future
direction'.)
The other existing easing functions from the previous version of this
module have also become new members of `EaseFunction`: `Linear`,
`Steps`, and `Elastic` (which maybe needs a different name). The latter
two are parametrized.
## Testing
Tested using the `easing_functions` example. I also axed the
`cubic_curve` example which was of questionable value and replaced it
with `eased_motion`, which uses this API in the context of animation:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3c802992-6b9b-4b56-aeb1-a47501c29ce2
---
## Future direction
Morally speaking, `Ease` is incredibly similar to `StableInterpolate`.
Probably, we should just merge `StableInterpolate` into `Ease`, and then
make `SmoothNudge` an automatic extension trait of `Ease`. The reason I
didn't do that is that `StableInterpolate` is not implemented for
`VectorSpace` because of concerns about the `Color` types, and I wanted
to avoid controversy. I think that may be a good idea though.
As Alice mentioned before, we should also probably get rid of the
`interpolation` dependency.
The parametrized `Elastic` variant probably also needs some additional
work (e.g. renaming, in/out/in-out variants, etc.) if we want to keep
it.
# Objective
- Closes#15720
## Solution
Wrap the handle in a new wrapper component: `UiMaterialHandle`
It's not possible to match the naming convention of `MeshMaterial3d/2d`
here with the trait already being called `UiMaterial`
Should we consider renaming to `Material3d/2dHandle` and `Mesh3d/2d` to
`Mesh3d/2dHandle`?
- This shouldn't have any merge conflicts with #15591
## Testing
Tested the `ui_material` example
## Migration Guide
Let's defer the migration guide to the required component port. I just
want to yeet the `Component` impl on `Handle` in the meantime :)
# Objective
- Prepare for streaming by storing vertex data per-meshlet, rather than
per-mesh (this means duplicating vertices per-meshlet)
- Compress vertex data to reduce the cost of this
## Solution
The important parts are in from_mesh.rs, the changes to the Meshlet type
in asset.rs, and the changes in meshlet_bindings.wgsl. Everything else
is pretty secondary/boilerplate/straightforward changes.
- Positions are quantized in centimeters with a user-provided power of 2
factor (ideally auto-determined, but that's a TODO for the future),
encoded as an offset relative to the minimum value within the meshlet,
and then stored as a packed list of bits using the minimum number of
bits needed for each vertex position channel for that meshlet
- E.g. quantize positions (lossly, throws away precision that's not
needed leading to using less bits in the bitstream encoding)
- Get the min/max quantized value of each X/Y/Z channel of the quantized
positions within a meshlet
- Encode values relative to the min value of the meshlet. E.g. convert
from [min, max] to [0, max - min]
- The new max value in the meshlet is (max - min), which only takes N
bits, so we only need N bits to store each channel within the meshlet
(lossless)
- We can store the min value and that it takes N bits per channel in the
meshlet metadata, and reconstruct the position from the bitstream
- Normals are octahedral encoded and than snorm2x16 packed and stored as
a single u32.
- Would be better to implement the precise variant of octhedral encoding
for extra precision (no extra decode cost), but decided to keep it
simple for now and leave that as a followup
- Tried doing a quantizing and bitstream encoding scheme like I did for
positions, but struggled to get it smaller. Decided to go with this for
simplicity for now
- UVs are uncompressed and take a full 64bits per vertex which is
expensive
- In the future this should be improved
- Tangents, as of the previous PR, are not explicitly stored and are
instead derived from screen space gradients
- While I'm here, split up MeshletMeshSaverLoader into two separate
types
Other future changes include implementing a smaller encoding of triangle
data (3 u8 indices = 24 bits per triangle currently), and more
disk-oriented compression schemes.

## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- Converted the stanford bunny, and rendered it with a debug material
showing normals, and confirmed that it's identical to what's on main.
EDIT: See additional testing in the comments below.
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- Could use some more size comparisons on various meshes, and testing
different quantization factors. Not sure if 4 is a good default. EDIT:
See additional testing in the comments below.
- Also did not test runtime performance of the shaders. EDIT: See
additional testing in the comments below.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- Use my unholy script, replacing the meshlet example
https://paste.rs/7xQHk.rs (must make MeshletMesh fields pub instead of
pub crate, must add lz4_flex as a dev-dependency) (must compile with
meshlet and meshlet_processor features, mesh must have only positions,
normals, and UVs, no vertex colors or tangents)

## Migration Guide
- TBD by JMS55 at the end of the release
# Objective
The `new` constructors for our ray types currently take a `Vec2`/`Vec3`
instead of a `Dir2`/`Dir3`. This is confusing and footgunny for several
reasons.
- Which one of these is the direction? You can't see it from the type.
```rust
let ray = Ray2d::new(Vec2::X, Vec2::X);
```
- Many engines allow unnormalized rays, and this can affect ray cast
results by scaling the time of impact. However, in Bevy, rays are
*always* normalized despite what the input argument in this case
implies, and ray cast results are *not* scaled.
```rust
// The true ray direction is still normalized, unlike what you'd expect.
let ray = Ray2d::new(Vec2::X, Vec2::new(5.0, 0.0, 0.0)));
```
These cases are what the direction types are intended for, and we should
use them as such.
## Solution
Use `Dir2`/`Dir3` in the constructors.
```rust
let ray = Ray2d::new(Vec2::X, Dir2::X);
```
We *could* also use `impl TryInto<DirN>`, which would allow both vectors
and direction types, and then panic if the input is not normalized. This
could be fine for ergonomics in some cases, but especially for rays, I
think it's better to take an explicit direction type here.
---
## Migration Guide
`Ray2d::new` and `Ray3d::new` now take a `Dir2` and `Dir3` instead of
`Vec2` and `Vec3` respectively for the ray direction.
# Objective
Expose the `winit` functions
[drag_window](https://docs.rs/winit/latest/winit/window/struct.Window.html#method.drag_window)
and
[resize_window](https://docs.rs/winit/latest/winit/window/struct.Window.html#method.drag_resize_window).
Which allows implementing move & resize for windows without decorations.
## Solution
Add the functions `start_drag_move` and `start_drag_resize` to
`bevy_window::Window`, which are then assigned to fields in
`InternalWindowState`, and propagated to `winit` in the
`changed_windows` system.
## Testing
I've tested that both functions works on x11 and wayland. Not sure if
someone needs to test on windows/mac?

# Objective
UI box shadow support
Adds a new component `BoxShadow`:
```rust
pub struct BoxShadow {
/// The shadow's color
pub color: Color,
/// Horizontal offset
pub x_offset: Val,
/// Vertical offset
pub y_offset: Val,
/// Horizontal difference in size from the occluding uninode
pub spread_radius: Val,
/// Blurriness of the shadow
pub blur_radius: Val,
}
```
To use `BoxShadow`, add the component to any Bevy UI node and a shadow
will be drawn beneath that node.
Also adds a resource `BoxShadowSamples` that can be used to adjust the
shadow quality.
#### Notes
* I'm not super happy with the field names. Maybe we need a `struct Size
{ width: Val, height: Val }` type or something.
* The shader isn't very optimised but I don't see that it's too
important for now as the number of shadows being rendered is not going
to be massive most of the time. I think it's more important to get the
API and geometry correct with this PR.
* I didn't implement an inset property, it's not essential and can
easily be added in a follow up.
* Shadows are only rendered for uinodes, not for images or text.
* Batching isn't supported, it would need out-of-the-scope-of-this-pr
changes to the way the UI handles z-ordering for it to be effective.

## Objective
Add a way to stream BRP requests when the data changes.
## Solution
#### BRP Side (reusable for other transports)
Add a new method handler type that returns a optional value. This
handler is run in update and if a value is returned it will be sent on
the message channel. Custom watching handlers can be added with
`RemotePlugin::with_watching_method`.
#### HTTP Side
If a request comes in with `+watch` in the method, it will respond with
`text/event-stream` rather than a single response.
## Testing
I tested with the podman HTTP client. This client has good support for
SSE's if you want to test it too.
## Parts I want some opinions on
- For separating watching methods I chose to add a `+watch` suffix to
the end kind of like `content-type` headers. A get would be
`bevy/get+watch`.
- Should watching methods send an initial response with everything or
only respond when a change happens? Currently the later is what happens.
## Future work
- The `bevy/query` method would also benefit from this but that
condition will be quite complex so I will leave that to later.

# Objective
Several of our APIs (namely gizmos and bounding) use isometries on
current Bevy main. This is nicer than separate properties in a lot of
cases, but users have still expressed usability concerns.
One problem is that in a lot of cases, you only care about e.g.
translation, so you end up with this:
```rust
gizmos.cross_2d(
Isometry2d::from_translation(Vec2::new(-160.0, 120.0)),
12.0,
FUCHSIA,
);
```
The isometry adds quite a lot of length and verbosity, and isn't really
that relevant since only the translation is important here.
It would be nice if you could use the translation directly, and only
supply an isometry if both translation and rotation are needed. This
would make the following possible:
```rust
gizmos.cross_2d(Vec2::new(-160.0, 120.0), 12.0, FUCHSIA);
```
removing a lot of verbosity.
## Solution
Implement `From<Vec2>` and `From<Rot2>` for `Isometry2d`, and
`From<Vec3>`, `From<Vec3A>`, and `From<Quat>` for `Isometry3d`. These
are lossless conversions that fit the semantics of `From`.
This makes the proposed API possible! The methods must now simply take
an `impl Into<IsometryNd>`, and this works:
```rust
gizmos.cross_2d(Vec2::new(-160.0, 120.0), 12.0, FUCHSIA);
```
