# 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.

# 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
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
After merging retained rendering world #15320, we now have a good way of
creating a link between worlds (*HIYAA intensifies*). This means that
`get_or_spawn` is no longer necessary for that function. Entity should
be opaque as the warning above `get_or_spawn` says. This is also part of
#15459.
I'm deprecating `get_or_spawn_batch` in a different PR in order to keep
the PR small in size.
## Solution
Deprecate `get_or_spawn` and replace it with `get_entity` in most
contexts. If it's possible to query `&RenderEntity`, then the entity is
synced and `render_entity.id()` is initialized in the render world.
## Migration Guide
If you are given an `Entity` and you want to do something with it, use
`Commands.entity(...)` or `World.entity(...)`. If instead you want to
spawn something use `Commands.spawn(...)` or `World.spawn(...)`. If you
are not sure if an entity exists, you can always use `get_entity` and
match on the `Option<...>` that is returned.

As discussed in #15521
- Partial revert of #14897, reverting the change to the methods to
consume `self`
- The `insert_if` method is kept
The migration guide of #14897 should be removed

- Adopted from #14449
- Still fixes#12144.
## Migration Guide
The retained render world is a complex change: migrating might take one
of a few different forms depending on the patterns you're using.
For every example, we specify in which world the code is run. Most of
the changes affect render world code, so for the average Bevy user who's
using Bevy's high-level rendering APIs, these changes are unlikely to
affect your code.
### Spawning entities in the render world
Previously, if you spawned an entity with `world.spawn(...)`,
`commands.spawn(...)` or some other method in the rendering world, it
would be despawned at the end of each frame. In 0.15, this is no longer
the case and so your old code could leak entities. This can be mitigated
by either re-architecting your code to no longer continuously spawn
entities (like you're used to in the main world), or by adding the
`bevy_render::world_sync::TemporaryRenderEntity` component to the entity
you're spawning. Entities tagged with `TemporaryRenderEntity` will be
removed at the end of each frame (like before).
### Extract components with `ExtractComponentPlugin`
```
// main world
app.add_plugins(ExtractComponentPlugin::<ComponentToExtract>::default());
```
`ExtractComponentPlugin` has been changed to only work with synced
entities. Entities are automatically synced if `ComponentToExtract` is
added to them. However, entities are not "unsynced" if any given
`ComponentToExtract` is removed, because an entity may have multiple
components to extract. This would cause the other components to no
longer get extracted because the entity is not synced.
So be careful when only removing extracted components from entities in
the render world, because it might leave an entity behind in the render
world. The solution here is to avoid only removing extracted components
and instead despawn the entire entity.
### Manual extraction using `Extract<Query<(Entity, ...)>>`
```rust
// in render world, inspired by bevy_pbr/src/cluster/mod.rs
pub fn extract_clusters(
mut commands: Commands,
views: Extract<Query<(Entity, &Clusters, &Camera)>>,
) {
for (entity, clusters, camera) in &views {
// some code
commands.get_or_spawn(entity).insert(...);
}
}
```
One of the primary consequences of the retained rendering world is that
there's no longer a one-to-one mapping from entity IDs in the main world
to entity IDs in the render world. Unlike in Bevy 0.14, Entity 42 in the
main world doesn't necessarily map to entity 42 in the render world.
Previous code which called `get_or_spawn(main_world_entity)` in the
render world (`Extract<Query<(Entity, ...)>>` returns main world
entities). Instead, you should use `&RenderEntity` and
`render_entity.id()` to get the correct entity in the render world. Note
that this entity does need to be synced first in order to have a
`RenderEntity`.
When performing manual abstraction, this won't happen automatically
(like with `ExtractComponentPlugin`) so add a `SyncToRenderWorld` marker
component to the entities you want to extract.
This results in the following code:
```rust
// in render world, inspired by bevy_pbr/src/cluster/mod.rs
pub fn extract_clusters(
mut commands: Commands,
views: Extract<Query<(&RenderEntity, &Clusters, &Camera)>>,
) {
for (render_entity, clusters, camera) in &views {
// some code
commands.get_or_spawn(render_entity.id()).insert(...);
}
}
// in main world, when spawning
world.spawn(Clusters::default(), Camera::default(), SyncToRenderWorld)
```
### Looking up `Entity` ids in the render world
As previously stated, there's now no correspondence between main world
and render world `Entity` identifiers.
Querying for `Entity` in the render world will return the `Entity` id in
the render world: query for `MainEntity` (and use its `id()` method) to
get the corresponding entity in the main world.
This is also a good way to tell the difference between synced and
unsynced entities in the render world, because unsynced entities won't
have a `MainEntity` component.

# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
Fixes#15142
## Solution
* Moved all the UI border geometry calculations that were scattered
through the UI extraction functions into `ui_layout_system`.
* Added a `border: BorderRect` field to `Node` to store the border size
computed by `ui_layout_system`.
* Use the border values returned from Taffy rather than calculate them
ourselves during extraction.
* Removed the `logical_rect` and `physical_rect` methods from `Node` the
descriptions and namings are deceptive, it's better to create the rects
manually instead.
* Added a method `outline_radius` to `Node` that calculates the border
radius of outlines.
* For border values `ExtractedUiNode` takes `BorderRect` and
`ResolvedBorderRadius` now instead of raw `[f32; 4]` values and converts
them in `prepare_uinodes`.
* Removed some unnecessary scaling and clamping of border values
(#15142).
* Added a `BorderRect::ZERO` constant.
* Added an `outlined_node_size` method to `Node`.
## Testing
Added some non-uniform borders to the border example. Everything seems
to be in order:

## Migration Guide
The `logical_rect` and `physical_rect` methods have been removed from
`Node`. Use `Rect::from_center_size` with the translation and node size
instead.
The types of the fields border and border_radius of `ExtractedUiNode`
have been changed to `BorderRect` and `ResolvedBorderRadius`
respectively.

# Objective
Fixes#15330
## Solution
1. Add an `ExtractTextureSlice` variant to `RenderUiSystem`.
2. Add `RenderUiSystem::ExtractTextureSlice` to the `ExtractSchedule`
between `ExtractImages` and `ExtractBorders`.
3. Add `extract_ui_texture_slices` to the new `ExtractTextureSlice`
system set.
Which results in texture slice nodes being extracted before borders. No
more z-fighting, borders will always be drawn on top of texture-sliced
images.
# Objective
Currently, UI is always rendered with anti-aliasing. This makes bevy's
UI completely unsuitable for art-styles that demands hard pixelated
edges, such as retro-style games.
## Solution
Add a component for disabling anti-aliasing in UI.
## Testing
In
[`examples/ui/button.rs`](15e246eff8/examples/ui/button.rs),
add the component to the camera like this:
```rust
use bevy::{prelude::*, ui::prelude::*};
commands.spawn((Camera2dBundle::default(), UiAntiAlias::Off));
```
The rounded button will now render without anti-aliasing.
## Showcase
An example of a rounded UI node rendered without anti-aliasing, with and
without borders:
# Objective
Fixes #15115
## Solution
Retrieve the size of the node's parent in a separate query and base
percentage border values on the parent node's width (or the width of the
viewport in the case of root nodes).
# Objective
`ExtractedUiMaterialNode` is still walking the whole `UiStack`.
more info: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9853
## Solution
Retrieve the `stack_index` from the `Node` component instead.
Also changed the `stack_index` field of `ExtractedUiMaterialNode` to
`u32`.
# Objective
Fixes#13479
This also fixes the gaps you can sometimes observe in outlines
(screenshot from main, not this PR):
<img width="636" alt="outline-gaps"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c11dae24-20f5-4aea-8ffc-1894ad2a2b79">
The outline around the last item in each section has vertical gaps.
## Solution
Draw the outlines with corner radius using the existing border rendering
for uinodes. The outline radius is very simple to calculate. We just
take the computed border radius of the node, and if it's greater than
zero, add it to the distance from the edge of the node to the outer edge
of the node's outline.

Fixes#15032
## Solution
Reimplement support for the `flip_x` and `flip_y` fields.
This doesn't flip the border geometry, I'm not really sure whether that
is desirable or not.
Also fixes a bug that was causing the side and center slices to tile
incorrectly.

# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14183
## Solution
Reimplement the UI texture atlas slicer using a shader.
The problems with #14183 could be fixed more simply by hacking around
with the coordinates and scaling but that way is very fragile and might
get broken again the next time we make changes to the layout
calculations. A shader based solution is more robust, it's impossible
for gaps to appear between the image slices with these changes as we're
only drawing a single quad.
I've not tried any benchmarks yet but it should much more efficient as
well, in the worst cases even hundreds or thousands of times faster.
Maybe could have used the UiMaterialPipeline. I wrote the shader first
and used fat vertices and then realised it wouldn't work that way with a
UiMaterial. If it's rewritten it so it puts all the slice geometry in
uniform buffer, then it might work? Adding the uniform buffer would
probably make the shader more complicated though, so don't know if it's
even worth it. Instancing is another alternative.
## Testing
The examples are working and it seems to match the old API correctly but
I've not used the texture atlas slicing API for anything before, I
reviewed the PR but that was back in January.
Needs a review by someone who knows the rendering pipeline and wgsl
really well because I don't really have any idea what I'm doing.
# Objective
The `BorderRadius` component shouldn't be required to draw borders for
nodes with sharp corners.
## Solution
Make `BorderRadius` optional in `extract_uinode_borders`'s UI node
query.
# Objective
Adding more features to `AsBindGroup` proc macro means making the trait
arguments uglier. Downstream implementors of the trait without the proc
macro might want to do different things than our default arguments.
## Solution
Make `AsBindGroup` take an associated `Param` type.
## Migration Guide
`AsBindGroup` now allows the user to specify a `SystemParam` to be used
for creating bind groups.
# Objective
currently if we use an image with the wrong sampler type in a material,
wgpu panics with an invalid texture format. turn this into a warning and
fail more gracefully.
## Solution
the expected sampler type is specified in the AsBindGroup derive, so we
can just check the image sampler is what it should be.
i am not totally sure about the mapping of image sampler type to
#[sampler(type)], i assumed:
```
"filtering" => [ TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: true } ],
"non_filtering" => [
TextureSampleType::Float { filterable: false },
TextureSampleType::Sint,
TextureSampleType::Uint,
],
"comparison" => [ TextureSampleType::Depth ],
```
# Objective
- Fixes#11219
## Solution
- Scaling calculations use texture dimensions instead of layout
dimensions.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
All UI examples look fine.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
Example in #11219
## Migration Guide
```diff
let ui_node = ExtractedUiNode {
stack_index,
transform,
color,
rect,
image,
- atlas_size: Some(atlas_size * scale_factor),
+ atlas_scaling: Some(Vec2::splat(scale_factor)),
clip,
flip_x,
flip_y,
camera_entity,
border,
border_radius,
node_type,
},
```
```diff
let computed_slices = ComputedTextureSlices {
slices,
- image_size,
}
```
# Objective
- It's possible to have errors in a draw command, but these errors are
ignored
## Solution
- Return a result with the error
## Changelog
Renamed `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to `RenderCommandResult::Skip`
Added a `reason` string parameter to `RenderCommandResult::Failure`
## Migration Guide
If you were using `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to just ignore an error
and retry later, use `RenderCommandResult::Skip` instead.
This wasn't intentional, but this PR should also help with
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12660 since we can turn a few
unwraps into error messages now.

# Replace ab_glyph with the more capable cosmic-text
Fixes#7616.
Cosmic-text is a more mature text-rendering library that handles scripts
and ligatures better than ab_glyph, it can also handle system fonts
which can be implemented in bevy in the future
Rebase of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8808
## Changelog
Replaces text renderer ab_glyph with cosmic-text
The definition of the font size has changed with the migration to cosmic
text. The behavior is now consistent with other platforms (e.g. the
web), where the font size in pixels measures the height of the font (the
distance between the top of the highest ascender and the bottom of the
lowest descender). Font sizes in your app need to be rescaled to
approximately 1.2x smaller; for example, if you were using a font size
of 60.0, you should now use a font size of 50.0.
## Migration guide
- `Text2dBounds` has been replaced with `TextBounds`, and it now accepts
`Option`s to the bounds, instead of using `f32::INFINITY` to inidicate
lack of bounds
- Textsizes should be changed, dividing the current size with 1.2 will
result in the same size as before.
- `TextSettings` struct is removed
- Feature `subpixel_alignment` has been removed since cosmic-text
already does this automatically
- TextBundles and things rendering texts requires the `CosmicBuffer`
Component on them as well
## Suggested followups:
- TextPipeline: reconstruct byte indices for keeping track of eventual
cursors in text input
- TextPipeline: (future work) split text entities into section entities
- TextPipeline: (future work) text editing
- Support line height as an option. Unitless `1.2` is the default used
in browsers (1.2x font size).
- Support System Fonts and font families
- Example showing of animated text styles. Eg. throbbing hyperlinks

# Objective
- After #14017 , I noticed that the drawcall increased 10x in the
`many_buttons`, causing the `UIPassNode `to increase from 1.5ms to 6ms.
This is because our UI batching is very fragile.
## Solution
- skip extract UiImage when its texture is default
## Performance
many_buttons UiPassNode
# Objective
- Fixes#13807
## Solution
- Before this pr we antialiased between 0.5 and -0.5. This pr changes
things to antialias between 0.25 and -0.25. I tried slightly larger
ranges, but the edge between the boxes still showed. I'm not 100% sure
this is the correct solution, but from what I could find the range you
use is more art than science.
## Testing
- Ran rounded_borders example, the code in the linked issue, and the
testing example from #12702.
---
## Changelog
- reduce antialiasing in ui shader.
# Objective
One thing missing from the new Color implementation in 0.14 is the
ability to easily convert to a u8 representation of the rgb color.
(note this is a redo of PR https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13739
as I needed to move the source branch
## Solution
I have added to_u8_array and to_u8_array_no_alpha to a new trait called
ColorToPacked to mirror the f32 conversions in ColorToComponents and
implemented the new trait for Srgba and LinearRgba.
To go with those I also added matching from_u8... functions and
converted a couple of cases that used ad-hoc implementations of that
conversion to use these.
After discussion on Discord of the experience of using the API I renamed
Color::linear to Color::to_linear, as without that it looks like a
constructor (like Color::rgb).
I also added to_srgba which is the other commonly converted to type of
color (for UI and 2D) to match to_linear.
Removed a redundant extra implementation of to_f32_array for LinearColor
as it is also supplied in ColorToComponents (I'm surprised that's
allowed?)
## Testing
Ran all tests and manually tested.
Added to_and_from_u8 to linear_rgba::tests
## Changelog
visible change is Color::linear becomes Color::to_linear.

## Solution
- Name all matrices `x_from_y`, for example `world_from_view`.
## Testing
- I've tested most of the 3D examples. The `lighting` example
particularly should hit a lot of the changes and appears to run fine.

- `ComputedCameraValues::projection_matrix` was renamed to
`clip_from_view`.
- `CameraProjection::get_projection_matrix` was renamed to

`from_world_from_view`.
- `PreviousViewData`'s members were renamed to `view_from_world` and

`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh` type in WGSL mirrors this, however `transform` and
`previous_transform` were named `model` and `previous_model`).
- `Mesh2dTransforms::transform` was renamed to `world_from_local`.
- `Mesh2dUniform`'s `transform`, `inverse_transpose_model_a` and
`inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed to `world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh2d` type in WGSL mirrors this).
- In WGSL, in `bevy_pbr::mesh_functions`, `get_model_matrix` and
`get_previous_model_matrix` were renamed to `get_world_from_local` and
`get_previous_world_from_local`.
- In WGSL, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_functions::get_model_matrix` was renamed
to `get_world_from_local`.

```
## Solution
- call `textureSample` from outside the if. both branches are using the
same parameters
# Objective
- Fixes#13503
- Fix other various bugs I noticed while debugging above issue.
## Solution
- Change the antialiasing(AA) method. It was using fwidth which is the
derivative between pixels, but there were a lot of artifacts being added
from this. So just use the sdf value. This aa method probably isn't as
smooth looking, but better than having artifacts. Below is a
visualization of the fwidth.
- Use the internal sdf for drawing the background instead of the
external sdf and extract the border for these type of nodes. This fixed
2 bugs, one with the background coloring the AA pixels on the edge of
rounded borders. And also allows for the border to use a transparent
color.
- Don't extract borders if all the widths are zero.
## Testing
- played a bunch with the example in the linked issue.
This PR:
Main:
- ran the `borders` and `rounded_borders` examples

## Changelog
- Fixed various antialiasing issues to do with rounded ui borders.

We invoked the `extract_default_ui_camera_view` system twice: once for
2D cameras and once for 3D cameras. This was fine before moving to
resources for render phases, but, after the move to resources, the first
thing such systems do is to clear out all the entities-to-be-rendered
from the previous frame. So, if the scheduler happened to run
`extract_default_ui_camera_view::<Camera2d>` first, then all the UI
elements that it queued would be overwritten by the
`extract_default_ui_camera_view::<Camera3d>` system, or vice versa. The
ordering dependence is the reason why this problem was intermittent.
This commit fixes the problem by merging the two systems into one
systems, using an `Or` query filter.
## Migration Guide
* The `bevy_ui::render::extract_default_ui_camera_view` system is no
longer parameterized over the specific type of camera and is hard-wired
to either `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` components.
# Objective
- Fixes#13092.
## Solution
- Renamed the `inset()` method in `Rect`, `IRect` and `URect` to
`inflate()`.
- Added `EMPTY` constants to all `Rect` variants, represented by corners
with the maximum numerical values for each kind.
---
## Migration Guide
- Replace `Rect::inset()`, `IRect::inset()` and `URect::inset()` calls
with `inflate()`.
This commit makes us stop using the render world ECS for
`BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` and instead use resources
with `EntityHashMap`s inside. There are three reasons to do this:
1. We can use `clear()` to clear out the render phase collections
instead of recreating the components from scratch, allowing us to reuse
allocations.
2. This is a prerequisite for retained bins, because components can't be
retained from frame to frame in the render world, but resources can.
3. We want to move away from storing anything in components in the
render world ECS, and this is a step in that direction.
This patch results in a small performance benefit, due to point (1)
above.
## Changelog
### Changed
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources.
## Migration Guide
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources. Instead of querying for the
components, look the camera entity up in the
`ViewBinnedRenderPhases`/`ViewSortedRenderPhases` tables.
# Objective
Currently, the 2d pipeline only has a transparent pass that is used for
everything. I want to have separate passes for opaque/alpha
mask/transparent meshes just like in 3d.
This PR does the basic work to start adding new phases to the 2d
pipeline and get the current setup a bit closer to 3d.
## Solution
- Use `ViewNode` for `MainTransparentPass2dNode`
- Added `Node2d::StartMainPass`, `Node2d::EndMainPass`
- Rename everything to clarify that the main pass is currently the
transparent pass
---
## Changelog
- Added `Node2d::StartMainPass`, `Node2d::EndMainPass`
## Migration Guide
If you were using `Node2d::MainPass` to order your own custom render
node. You now need to order it relative to `Node2d::StartMainPass` or
`Node2d::EndMainPass`.
This is an adoption of #12670 plus some documentation fixes. See that PR
for more details.
---
## Changelog
* Renamed `BufferVec` to `RawBufferVec` and added a new `BufferVec`
type.
## Migration Guide
`BufferVec` has been renamed to `RawBufferVec` and a new similar type
has taken the `BufferVec` name.

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
- #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
- Replace `RenderMaterials` / `RenderMaterials2d` / `RenderUiMaterials`
with `RenderAssets` to enable implementing changes to one thing,
`RenderAssets`, that applies to all use cases rather than duplicating
changes everywhere for multiple things that should be one thing.
- Adopts #8149
## Solution
- Make RenderAsset generic over the destination type rather than the
source type as in #8149
- Use `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` etc for render materials
---
## Changelog
- Changed:
- The `RenderAsset` trait is now implemented on the destination type.
Its `SourceAsset` associated type refers to the type of the source
asset.
- `RenderMaterials`, `RenderMaterials2d`, and `RenderUiMaterials` have
been replaced by `RenderAssets<PreparedMaterial<M>>` and similar.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderAsset` is now implemented for the destination type rather that
the source asset type. The source asset type is now the `RenderAsset`
trait's `SourceAsset` associated type.
# Objective
This is a necessary precursor to #9122 (this was split from that PR to
reduce the amount of code to review all at once).
Moving `!Send` resource ownership to `App` will make it unambiguously
`!Send`. `SubApp` must be `Send`, so it can't wrap `App`.
## Solution
Refactor `App` and `SubApp` to not have a recursive relationship. Since
`SubApp` no longer wraps `App`, once `!Send` resources are moved out of
`World` and into `App`, `SubApp` will become unambiguously `Send`.
There could be less code duplication between `App` and `SubApp`, but
that would break `App` method chaining.
## Changelog
- `SubApp` no longer wraps `App`.
- `App` fields are no longer publicly accessible.
- `App` can no longer be converted into a `SubApp`.
- Various methods now return references to a `SubApp` instead of an
`App`.
## Migration Guide
- To construct a sub-app, use `SubApp::new()`. `App` can no longer
convert into `SubApp`.
- If you implemented a trait for `App`, you may want to implement it for
`SubApp` as well.
- If you're accessing `app.world` directly, you now have to use
`app.world()` and `app.world_mut()`.
- `App::sub_app` now returns `&SubApp`.
- `App::sub_app_mut` now returns `&mut SubApp`.
- `App::get_sub_app` now returns `Option<&SubApp>.`
- `App::get_sub_app_mut` now returns `Option<&mut SubApp>.`
Today, we sort all entities added to all phases, even the phases that
don't strictly need sorting, such as the opaque and shadow phases. This
results in a performance loss because our `PhaseItem`s are rather large
in memory, so sorting is slow. Additionally, determining the boundaries
of batches is an O(n) process.
This commit makes Bevy instead applicable place phase items into *bins*
keyed by *bin keys*, which have the invariant that everything in the
same bin is potentially batchable. This makes determining batch
boundaries O(1), because everything in the same bin can be batched.
Instead of sorting each entity, we now sort only the bin keys. This
drops the sorting time to near-zero on workloads with few bins like
`many_cubes --no-frustum-culling`. Memory usage is improved too, with
batch boundaries and dynamic indices now implicit instead of explicit.
The improved memory usage results in a significant win even on
unbatchable workloads like `many_cubes --no-frustum-culling
--vary-material-data-per-instance`, presumably due to cache effects.
Not all phases can be binned; some, such as transparent and transmissive
phases, must still be sorted. To handle this, this commit splits
`PhaseItem` into `BinnedPhaseItem` and `SortedPhaseItem`. Most of the
logic that today deals with `PhaseItem`s has been moved to
`SortedPhaseItem`. `BinnedPhaseItem` has the new logic.
Frame time results (in ms/frame) are as follows:
| Benchmark | `binning` | `main` | Speedup |
| ------------------------ | --------- | ------- | ------- |
| `many_cubes -nfc -vpi` | 232.179 | 312.123 | 34.43% |
| `many_cubes -nfc` | 25.874 | 30.117 | 16.40% |
| `many_foxes` | 3.276 | 3.515 | 7.30% |
(`-nfc` is short for `--no-frustum-culling`; `-vpi` is short for
`--vary-per-instance`.)
---
## Changelog
### Changed
* Render phases have been split into binned and sorted phases. Binned
phases, such as the common opaque phase, achieve improved CPU
performance by avoiding the sorting step.
## Migration Guide
- `PhaseItem` has been split into `BinnedPhaseItem` and
`SortedPhaseItem`. If your code has custom `PhaseItem`s, you will need
to migrate them to one of these two types. `SortedPhaseItem` requires
the fewest code changes, but you may want to pick `BinnedPhaseItem` if
your phase doesn't require sorting, as that enables higher performance.

You can see that `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` is a much
smaller fraction of the time. Zooming in on that function, with yellow
being this branch and red being `main`, we see:

We can see that there is a small regression in `queue_material_meshes`
performance, but it's not nearly enough to outweigh the large gains in
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`.
