# Objective
- Allow rendering queue systems to use a `Res<PipelineCache>` even for queueing up new rendering pipelines. This is part of unblocking parallel execution queue systems.
## Solution
- Make `PipelineCache` internally mutable w.r.t to queueing new pipelines. Pipelines are no longer immediately updated into the cache state, but rather queued into a Vec. The Vec of pending new pipelines is then later processed at the same time we actually create the queued pipelines on the GPU device.
---
## Changelog
`PipelineCache` no longer requires mutable access in order to queue render / compute pipelines.
## Migration Guide
* Most usages of `resource_mut::<PipelineCache>` and `ResMut<PipelineCache>` can be changed to `resource::<PipelineCache>` and `Res<PipelineCache>` as long as they don't use any methods requiring mutability - the only public method requiring it is `process_queue`.
# Objective
The documentation of the bevy_render crate is still pretty incomplete.
This PR follows up on #6885 and improves the documentation of the `render_phase` module.
This module contains one of our most important rendering abstractions and the current documentation is pretty confusing. This PR tries to clarify what all of these pieces are for and how they work together to form bevy`s modular rendering logic.
## Solution
### Code Reformating
- I have moved the `rangefinder` into the `render_phase` module since it is only used there.
- I have moved the `PhaseItem` (and the `BatchedPhaseItem`) from `render_phase::draw` over to `render_phase::mod`. This does not change the public-facing API since they are reexported anyway, but this change makes the relation between `RenderPhase` and `PhaseItem` clear and easier to discover.
### Documentation
- revised all documentation in the `render_phase` module
- added a module-level explanation of how `RenderPhase`s, `RenderPass`es, `PhaseItem`s, `Draw` functions, and `RenderCommands` relate to each other and how they are used
---
## Changelog
- The `rangefinder` module has been moved into the `render_phase` module.
## Migration Guide
- The `rangefinder` module has been moved into the `render_phase` module.
```rust
//old
use bevy::render::rangefinder::*;
// new
use bevy::render::render_phase::rangefinder::*;
```
# Objective
- There is a warning when building in release:
```
warning: unused import: `bevy_ecs::system::Local`
--> crates/bevy_render/src/extract_resource.rs:5:5
|
5 | use bevy_ecs::system::Local;

= note: `#[warn(unused_imports)]` on by default
```
- It's used 59751d6e33/crates/bevy_render/src/extract_resource.rs (L47)
- Fix it
## Solution
- Gate the import
- repeat of #5320
As mentioned in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6530. It allows to not create a new constant and simply having it to show up in the documentation when someone is looking for "transparent" (case insensitive) in rustdoc search.

# Objective
- Fixes#7066
## Solution
- Split the ChangeDetection trait into ChangeDetection and ChangeDetectionMut
- Added Ref as equivalent to &T with change detection
---
## Changelog
- Support for Ref which allow inspecting change detection flags in an immutable way
## Migration Guide
- While bevy prelude includes both ChangeDetection and ChangeDetectionMut any code explicitly referencing ChangeDetection might need to be updated to ChangeDetectionMut or both. Specifically any reading logic requires ChangeDetection while writes requires ChangeDetectionMut.
use bevy_ecs::change_detection::DetectChanges -> use bevy_ecs::change_detection::{DetectChanges, DetectChangesMut}
- Previously Res had methods to access change detection `is_changed` and `is_added` those methods have been moved to the `DetectChanges` trait. If you are including bevy prelude you will have access to these types otherwise you will need to `use bevy_ecs::change_detection::DetectChanges` to continue using them.
# Objective
Fixes#3310. Fixes#6282. Fixes#6278. Fixes#3666.
## Solution
Split out `!Send` resources into `NonSendResources`. Add a `origin_thread_id` to all `!Send` Resources, check it on dropping `NonSendResourceData`, if there's a mismatch, panic. Moved all of the checks that `MainThreadValidator` would do into `NonSendResources` instead.
All `!Send` resources now individually track which thread they were inserted from. This is validated against for every access, mutation, and drop that could be done against the value.
A regression test using an altered version of the example from #3310 has been added.
This is a stopgap solution for the current status quo. A full solution may involve fully removing `!Send` resources/components from `World`, which will likely require a much more thorough design on how to handle the existing in-engine and ecosystem use cases.
This PR also introduces another breaking change:
```rust
use bevy_ecs::prelude::*;
#[derive(Resource)]
struct Resource(u32);
fn main() {
let mut world = World::new();
world.insert_resource(Resource(1));
world.insert_non_send_resource(Resource(2));
let res = world.get_resource_mut::<Resource>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(res.0, 2);
}
```
This code will run correctly on 0.9.1 but not with this PR, since NonSend resources and normal resources have become actual distinct concepts storage wise.
## Changelog
Changed: Fix soundness bug with `World: Send`. Dropping a `World` that contains a `!Send` resource on the wrong thread will now panic.
## Migration Guide
Normal resources and `NonSend` resources no longer share the same backing storage. If `R: Resource`, then `NonSend<R>` and `Res<R>` will return different instances from each other. If you are using both `Res<T>` and `NonSend<T>` (or their mutable variants), to fetch the same resources, it's strongly advised to use `Res<T>`.
# Objective
Speed up the render phase for rendering.
## Solution
- Follow up #6988 and make the internals of atomic IDs `NonZeroU32`. This niches the `Option`s of the IDs in draw state, which reduces the size and branching behavior when evaluating for equality.
- Require `&RenderDevice` to get the device's `Limits` when initializing a `TrackedRenderPass` to preallocate the bind groups and vertex buffer state in `DrawState`, this removes the branch on needing to resize those `Vec`s.
## Performance
This produces a similar speed up akin to that of #6885. This shows an approximate 6% speed up in `main_opaque_pass_3d` on `many_foxes` (408.79 us -> 388us). This should be orthogonal to the gains seen there.
---
## Changelog
Added: `RenderContext::begin_tracked_render_pass`.
Changed: `TrackedRenderPass` now requires a `&RenderDevice` on construction.
Removed: `bevy_render::render_phase::DrawState`. It was not usable in any form outside of `bevy_render`.
## Migration Guide
TODO
# Objective
- This pulls out some of the changes to Plugin setup and sub apps from #6503 to make that PR easier to review.
- Separate the extract stage from running the sub app's schedule to allow for them to be run on separate threads in the future
- Fixes#6990
## Solution
- add a run method to `SubApp` that runs the schedule
- change the name of `sub_app_runner` to extract to make it clear that this function is only for extracting data between the main app and the sub app
- remove the extract stage from the sub app schedule so it can be run separately. This is done by adding a `setup` method to the `Plugin` trait that runs after all plugin build methods run. This is required to allow the extract stage to be removed from the schedule after all the plugins have added their systems to the stage. We will also need the setup method for pipelined rendering to setup the render thread. See e3267965e1/crates/bevy_render/src/pipelined_rendering.rs (L57-L98)
## Changelog
- Separate SubApp Extract stage from running the sub app schedule.
## Migration Guide
### SubApp `runner` has conceptually been changed to an `extract` function.
The `runner` no longer is in charge of running the sub app schedule. It's only concern is now moving data between the main world and the sub app. The `sub_app.app.schedule` is now run for you after the provided function is called.
```rust
// before
fn main() {
let sub_app = App::empty();
sub_app.add_stage(MyStage, SystemStage::parallel());
App::new().add_sub_app(MySubApp, sub_app, move |main_world, sub_app| {
extract(app_world, render_app);
render_app.app.schedule.run();
});
}
// after
fn main() {
let sub_app = App::empty();
sub_app.add_stage(MyStage, SystemStage::parallel());
App::new().add_sub_app(MySubApp, sub_app, move |main_world, sub_app| {
extract(app_world, render_app);
// schedule is automatically called for you after extract is run
});
}
```
# Objective
- Storage buffers are useful and not currently supported by the `AsBindGroup` derive which means you need to expand the macro if you need a storage buffer
## Solution
- Add a new `#[storage]` attribute to the derive `AsBindGroup` macro.
- Support and optional `read_only` parameter that defaults to false when not present.
- Support visibility parameters like the texture and sampler attributes.
---
## Changelog
- Add a new `#[storage(index)]` attribute to the derive `AsBindGroup` macro.

# Objective
- Avoid slower than necessary first frame after spawning many entities due to them not having `Aabb`s and so being marked visible
- Avoids unnecessarily large system and VRAM allocations as a consequence
## Solution
- I noticed when debugging the `many_cubes` stress test in Xcode that the `MeshUniform` binding was much larger than it needed to be. I realised that this was because initially, all mesh entities are marked as being visible because they don't have `Aabb`s because `calculate_bounds` is being run in `PostUpdate` and there are no system commands applications before executing the visibility check systems that need the `Aabb`s. The solution then is to run the `calculate_bounds` system just before the previous system commands are applied which is at the end of the `Update` stage.
Spiritual successor to #5205.
Actual successor to #6865.
# Objective
Currently, system params are defined using three traits: `SystemParam`, `ReadOnlySystemParam`, `SystemParamState`. The behavior for each param is specified by the `SystemParamState` trait, while `SystemParam` simply defers to the state.
Splitting the traits in this way makes it easier to implement within macros, but it increases the cognitive load. Worst of all, this approach requires each `MySystemParam` to have a public `MySystemParamState` type associated with it.
## Solution
* Merge the trait `SystemParamState` into `SystemParam`.
* Remove all trivial `SystemParam` state types.
* `OptionNonSendMutState<T>`: you will not be missed.
---
- [x] Fix/resolve the remaining test failure.
## Changelog
* Removed the trait `SystemParamState`, merging its functionality into `SystemParam`.
## Migration Guide
**Note**: this should replace the migration guide for #6865.
This is relative to Bevy 0.9, not main.
The traits `SystemParamState` and `SystemParamFetch` have been removed, and their functionality has been transferred to `SystemParam`.
```rust
// Before (0.9)
impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> {
type State = MyParamState;
}
unsafe impl SystemParamState for MyParamState {
fn init(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self { ... }
}
unsafe impl<'w, 's> SystemParamFetch<'w, 's> for MyParamState {
type Item = MyParam<'w, 's>;
fn get_param(&mut self, ...) -> Self::Item;
}
unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState { }
// After (0.10)
unsafe impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> {
type State = MyParamState;
type Item<'w, 's> = MyParam<'w, 's>;
fn init_state(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self::State { ... }
fn get_param<'w, 's>(state: &mut Self::State, ...) -> Self::Item<'w, 's>;
}
unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { }
```
The trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlySystemParam`.
```rust
// Before
unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState {}
// After
unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> {}
```
# Objective
- When using `Color::hex` for the first time, I was confused by the fact that I can't specify colors using #, which is much more familiar.
- In the code editor (if there is support) there is a preview of the color, which is very convenient.
## Solution
- Allow you to enter colors like `#ff33f2` and use the `.strip_prefix` method to delete the `#` character.
# Objective
Speed up the render phase of rendering. Simplify the trait structure for render commands.
## Solution
- Merge `EntityPhaseItem` into `PhaseItem` (`EntityPhaseItem::entity` -> `PhaseItem::entity`)
- Merge `EntityRenderCommand` into `RenderCommand`.
- Add two associated types to `RenderCommand`: `RenderCommand::ViewWorldQuery` and `RenderCommand::WorldQuery`.
- Use the new associated types to construct two `QueryStates`s for `RenderCommandState`.
- Hoist any `SQuery<T>` fetches in `EntityRenderCommand`s into the aformentioned two queries. Batch fetch them all at once.
## Performance
`main_opaque_pass_3d` is slightly faster on `many_foxes` (427.52us -> 401.15us)
The shadow pass node is also slightly faster (344.52 -> 338.24us)
## Future Work
- Can we hoist the view level queries out of the core loop?
---
## Changelog
Added: `PhaseItem::entity`
Added: `RenderCommand::ViewWorldQuery` associated type.
Added: `RenderCommand::ItemorldQuery` associated type.
Added: `Draw<T>::prepare` optional trait function.
Removed: `EntityPhaseItem` trait
## Migration Guide
TODO
# Objective
- The recently merged PR #7013 does not allow multiple `RenderPhase`s to share the same `RenderPass`.
- Due to the introduced overhead we want to minimize the number of `RenderPass`es recorded during each frame.
## Solution
- Take a constructed `TrackedRenderPass` instead of a `RenderPassDiscriptor` as a parameter to the `RenderPhase::render` method.
---
## Changelog
To enable multiple `RenderPhases` to share the same `TrackedRenderPass`,
the `RenderPhase::render` signature has changed.
```rust
pub fn render<'w>(
&self,
render_pass: &mut TrackedRenderPass<'w>,
world: &'w World,
view: Entity)
```

# Objective
`TEXTURE_ADAPTER_SPECIFIC_FORMAT_FEATURES` was already included in `adapter.features()` on non-wasm target, and since it is the default value for `WgpuSettings.features`, the subsequent code will also combine into this feature:
b6066c30b6/crates/bevy_render/src/renderer/mod.rs (L155-L156)
# Objective
All `RenderPhases` follow the same render procedure.
The same code is duplicated multiple times across the codebase.
## Solution
I simply extracted this code into a method on the `RenderPhase`.
This avoids code duplication and makes setting up new `RenderPhases` easier.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
You can now set up the rendering code of a `RenderPhase` directly using the `RenderPhase::render` method, instead of implementing it manually in your render graph node.
# Objective
The documentation for camera priority is very confusing at the moment, it requires a bit of "double negative" kind of thinking.
# Solution
Flipping the wording on the documentation to reflect more common usecases like having an overlay camera and also renaming it to "order", since priority implies that it will override the other camera rather than have both run.
Consolidation of all the feedback about #6271 as well as the addition of an "unconditionally visible" mode.
# Objective
The current implementation of the `Visibility` struct simply wraps a boolean.. which seems like an odd pattern when rust has such nice enums that allow for more expression using pattern-matching.
Additionally as it stands Bevy only has two settings for visibility of an entity:
- "unconditionally hidden" `Visibility { is_visible: false }`,
- "inherit visibility from parent" `Visibility { is_visible: true }`
where a root level entity set to "inherit" is visible.
Note that given the behaviour, the current naming of the inner field is a little deceptive or unclear.
Using an enum for `Visibility` opens the door for adding an extra behaviour mode. This PR adds a new "unconditionally visible" mode, which causes an entity to be visible even if its Parent entity is hidden. There should not really be any performance cost to the addition of this new mode.
--
The recently added `toggle` method is removed in this PR, as its semantics could be confusing with 3 variants.
## Solution
Change the Visibility component into
```rust
enum Visibility {
Hidden, // unconditionally hidden
Visible, // unconditionally visible
Inherited, // inherit visibility from parent
}
```
---
## Changelog
### Changed
`Visibility` is now an enum
## Migration Guide
- evaluation of the `visibility.is_visible` field should now check for `visibility == Visibility::Inherited`.
- setting the `visibility.is_visible` field should now directly set the value: `*visibility = Visibility::Inherited`.
- usage of `Visibility::VISIBLE` or `Visibility::INVISIBLE` should now use `Visibility::Inherited` or `Visibility::Hidden` respectively.
- `ComputedVisibility::INVISIBLE` and `SpatialBundle::VISIBLE_IDENTITY` have been renamed to `ComputedVisibility::HIDDEN` and `SpatialBundle::INHERITED_IDENTITY` respectively.

# Objective
- alternative to #2895
- as mentioned in #2535 the uuid based ids in the render module should be replaced with atomic-counted ones
## Solution
- instead of generating a random UUID for each render resource, this implementation increases an atomic counter
- this might be replaced by the ids of wgpu if they expose them directly in the future
- I have not benchmarked this solution yet, but this should be slightly faster in theory.
- Bevymark does not seem to be affected much by this change, which is to be expected.
- Nothing of our API has changed, other than that the IDs have lost their IMO rather insignificant documentation.
- Maybe the documentation could be added back into the macro, but this would complicate the code.
# Objective
The `WgpuSettings` resource is only used during plugin build. Move it into the `RenderPlugin` struct.
Changing these settings requires re-initializing the render context, which is currently not supported.
If it is supported in the future it should probably be more explicit than changing a field on a resource, maybe something similar to the `CreateWindow` event.
## Migration Guide
```rust
// Before (0.9)
App::new()
.insert_resource(WgpuSettings { .. })
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
// After (0.10)
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(RenderPlugin {
wgpu_settings: WgpuSettings { .. },
}))
```

# Objective
Following #4402, extract systems run on the render world instead of the main world, and allow retained state operations on it's resources. We're currently extracting to `ExtractedJoints` and then copying it twice during Prepare. Once into `SkinnedMeshJoints` and again into the actual GPU buffer.
This makes #4902 obsolete.
## Solution
Cut out the middle copy and directly extract joints into `SkinnedMeshJoints` and remove `ExtractedJoints` entirely.
This also removes the per-frame allocation that is being made to send `ExtractedJoints` into the render world.
## Performance
On my local machine, this halves the time for `prepare_skinned _meshes` on `many_foxes` (195.75us -> 93.93us on average).
---
## Changelog
Added: `BufferVec::truncate`
Added: `BufferVec::extend`
Changed: `SkinnedMeshJoints::build` now takes a `&mut BufferVec` instead of a `&mut Vec` as a parameter.
Removed: `ExtractedJoints`.
## Migration Guide
`ExtractedJoints` has been removed. Read the bound bones from `SkinnedMeshJoints` instead.
# Objective
`AsBindGroup` can't be used as a trait object because of the constraint `Sized` and because of the associated function.
This is a problem for [`bevy_atmosphere`](https://github.com/JonahPlusPlus/bevy_atmosphere) because it needs to use a trait that depends on `AsBindGroup` as a trait object, for switching out different shaders at runtime. The current solution it employs is reimplementing the trait and derive macro into that trait, instead of constraining to `AsBindGroup`.
## Solution
Remove the `Sized` constraint from `AsBindGroup` and add the constraint `where Self: Sized` to the associated function `bind_group_layout`. Also change `PreparedBindGroup<T: AsBindGroup>` to `PreparedBindGroup<T>` and use it as `PreparedBindGroup<Self::Data>` instead of `PreparedBindGroup<Self>`.
This weakens the constraints, but increases the flexibility of `AsBindGroup`.
I'm not entirely sure why the `Sized` constraint was there, because it worked fine without it (maybe @cart wasn't aware of use cases for `AsBindGroup` as a trait object or this was just leftover from legacy code?).
---
## Changelog
- `AsBindGroup` can be used as a trait object.
# Objective
[Rust 1.66](https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2022/12/12/1.66.0-prerelease.html) is coming in a few days, and bevy doesn't build with it.
Fix that.
## Solution
Replace output from a trybuild test, and fix a few new instances of `needless_borrow` and `unnecessary_cast` that are now caught.
## Note
Due to the trybuild test, this can't be merged until 1.66 is released.
# Objective
The following code:
```rs
use bevy::prelude::Image;
use image::{ DynamicImage, GenericImage, Rgba };
fn main() {
let mut dynamic_image = DynamicImage::new_rgb32f(1, 1);
dynamic_image.put_pixel(0, 0, Rgba([1, 1, 1, 1]));
let image = Image::from_dynamic(dynamic_image, false); // Panic!
println!("{image:?}");
}
```
Can cause an assertion failed:
```

It seems to be cause by a copypasta in `crates/bevy_render/src/texture/image_texture_conversion.rs`. Let's fix it.
## Solution
```diff
// DynamicImage::ImageRgb32F(image) => {
- let a = u16::max_value();
+ let a = 1f32;
```
This will fix the conversion.

- Fixed the alpha channel of the `image::DynamicImage::ImageRgb32F` to `bevy_render::texture::Image` conversion in `bevy_render::texture::Image::from_dynamic()`.
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5364 Added a few features to the AsBindGroup derive, but if you don't know they exist they aren't documented anywhere.

# Objective
* Implementing a custom `SystemParam` by hand requires implementing three traits -- four if it is read-only.
* The trait `SystemParamFetch<'w, 's>` is a workaround from before we had generic associated types, and is no longer necessary.
## Solution
* Combine the trait `SystemParamFetch` with `SystemParamState`.
* I decided to remove the `Fetch` name and keep the `State` name, since the former was consistently conflated with the latter.
* Replace the trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` with `ReadOnlySystemParam`, which simplifies trait bounds in generic code.
---
## Changelog
- Removed the trait `SystemParamFetch`, moving its functionality to `SystemParamState`.
- Replaced the trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` with `ReadOnlySystemParam`.
## Migration Guide
The trait `SystemParamFetch` has been removed, and its functionality has been transferred to `SystemParamState`.
```rust
// Before

```
# Objective
- Get rid of giant match statement to get PixelInfo.
- This will allow for supporting any texture that is uncompressed, instead of people needing to PR in any textures that are supported in wgpu, but not bevy.
## Solution
- More conservative alternative to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6788, where we don't try to make some of the calculations correct for compressed types.
- Delete `PixelInfo` and get the pixel_size directly from wgpu. Data from wgpu is here: https://docs.rs/wgpu-types/0.14.0/src/wgpu_types/lib.rs.html#2359
- Panic if the texture is a compressed type. An integer byte size of a pixel is no longer a valid concept when talking about compressed textures.
- All internal usages use `pixel_size` and not `pixel_info` and are on uncompressed formats. Most of these usages are on either explicit texture formats or slightly indirectly through `TextureFormat::bevy_default()`. The other uses are in `TextureAtlas` and have other calculations that assumes the texture is uncompressed.
## Changelog
- remove `PixelInfo` and get `pixel_size` from wgpu
## Migration Guide
`PixelInfo` has been removed. `PixelInfo::components` is equivalent to `texture_format.describe().components`. `PixelInfo::type_size` can be gotten from `texture_format.describe().block_size/ texture_format.describe().components`. But note this can yield incorrect results for some texture types like Rg11b10Float.
# Objective

- I added a custom cylinder shape, taken from [here](https://github.com/rparrett/typey_birb/blob/main/src/cylinder.rs) with permission from @rparrett.
- I also added the cylinder shape to the `3d_shapes` example scene.

# Objective
- Fixes#6841
- In some case, the number of maximum storage buffers is `u32::MAX` which doesn't fit in a `i32`
## Solution
- Add an option to have a `u32` in a `ShaderDefVal`
# Objective
`prepare_asset` for Image has an alternate path for texture creation that is used when the image is not compressed and does not contain mipmaps. This additional code path is unnecessary as `render_device.create_texture_with_data()` will handle both cases correctly.
## Solution
Use `render_device.create_texture_with_data()` in all cases.
Tested successfully with the following examples:
- load_gltf
- render_to_texture
- texture
- 3d_shapes
- sprite
- sprite_sheet
- array_texture
- shader_material_screenspace_texture
- skybox (though this already would use the `create_texture_with_data()` branch anyway)
# Objective
The soundness of the ECS `World` partially relies on the correctness of the state of `Entities` stored within it. We're currently allowing users to (unsafely) mutate it, as well as readily construct it without using a `World`. While this is not strictly unsound so long as users (including `bevy_render`) safely use the APIs, it's a fairly easy path to unsoundness without much of a guard rail.
Addresses #3362 for `bevy_ecs::entity`. Incorporates the changes from #3985.
## Solution
Remove `Entities`'s `Default` implementation and force access to the type to only be through a properly constructed `World`.
Additional cleanup for other parts of `bevy_ecs::entity`:
- `Entity::index` and `Entity::generation` are no longer `pub(crate)`, opting to force the rest of bevy_ecs to use the public interface to access these values.
- `EntityMeta` is no longer `pub` and also not `pub(crate)` to attempt to cut down on updating `generation` without going through an `Entities` API. It's currently inaccessible except via the `pub(crate)` Vec on `Entities`, there was no way for an outside user to use it.
- Added `Entities::set`, an unsafe `pub(crate)` API for setting the location of an Entity (parallel to `Entities::get`) that replaces the internal case where we need to set the location of an entity when it's been spawned, moved, or despawned.
- `Entities::alloc_at_without_replacement` is only used in `World::get_or_spawn` within the first party crates, and I cannot find a public use of this API in any ecosystem crate that I've checked (via GitHub search).
- Attempted to document the few remaining undocumented public APIs in the module.

# Objective
- Since #5900 3d examples fail in wasm
```
ERROR crates/bevy_render/src/render_resource/pipeline_cache.rs:660 failed to process shader: Unknown shader def: 'AVAILABLE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BINDINGS'
```
## Solution
- Fix it by always adding the shaderdef `AVAILABLE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BINDINGS` with the actual value, instead of 3 when 3 or more were available
# Objective
- Support textures in `Rgb9e5Ufloat` format.
## Solution
- Add `TextureFormatPixelInfo` for `Rgb9e5Ufloat`.
Tested this with a `Rgb9e5Ufloat` encoded KTX2 texture.
# Objective
- Every usage of `DrawFunctionsInternals::get_id()` was followed by a `.unwrap()`. which just adds boilerplate.
## Solution
- Introduce a fallible version of `DrawFunctionsInternals::get_id()` and use it where possible.
- I also took the opportunity to improve the error message a little in the case where it fails.
---
## Changelog
- Added `DrawFunctionsInternals::id()`
# Objective
- Reduce confusion around uniform bindings in materials. I've seen multiple people on discord get confused by it because it uses a struct that is named the same in the rust code and the wgsl code, but doesn't contain the same data. Also, the only reason this works is mostly by chance because the memory happens to align correctly.
## Solution
- Remove the confusing parts of the doc
## Notes
It's not super clear in the diff why this causes confusion, but essentially, the rust code defines a `CustomMaterial` struct with a color and a texture, but in the wgsl code the struct with the same name only contains the color. People are confused by it because the struct in wgsl doesn't need to be there.
You _can_ have complex structs on each side and the macro will even combine it for you if you reuse a binding index, but as it is now, this example seems to confuse more than help people.
# Objective
Many types in `bevy_render` implemented `Reflect` but were not registered.
## Solution
Register all types in `bevy_render` that impl `Reflect`.
This also registers additional dependent types (i.e. field types).
> Note: Adding these dependent types would not be needed using something like #5781😉
---
## Changelog
- Register missing `bevy_render` types in the `TypeRegistry`:
- `camera::RenderTarget`
- `globals::GlobalsUniform`
- `texture::Image`
- `view::ComputedVisibility`
- `view::Visibility`
- `view::VisibleEntities`
- Register additional dependent types:
- `view::ComputedVisibilityFlags`
- `Vec<Entity>`
# Objective
- shaders defs can now have a `bool` or `int` value
- `#if SHADER_DEF <operator> 3`
- ok if `SHADER_DEF` is defined, has the correct type and pass the comparison
- `==`, `!=`, `>=`, `>`, `<`, `<=` supported
- `#SHADER_DEF` or `#{SHADER_DEF}`
- will be replaced by the value in the shader code
---
## Migration Guide
- replace `shader_defs.push(String::from("NAME"));` by `shader_defs.push("NAME".into());`
- if you used shader def `NO_STORAGE_BUFFERS_SUPPORT`, check how `AVAILABLE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BINDINGS` is now used in Bevy default shaders
# Objective
`add_node_edge` and `add_slot_edge` are fallible methods, but are always used with `.unwrap()`.
`input_node` is often unwrapped as well.
This points to having an infallible behaviour as default, with an alternative fallible variant if needed.
Improves readability and ergonomics.
## Solution
- Change `add_node_edge` and `add_slot_edge` to panic on error.
- Change `input_node` to panic on `None`.
- Add `try_add_node_edge` and `try_add_slot_edge` in case fallible methods are needed.
- Add `get_input_node` to still be able to get an `Option`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `try_add_node_edge`
- `try_add_slot_edge`
- `get_input_node`
### Changed
- `add_node_edge` is now infallible (panics on error)
- `add_slot_edge` is now infallible (panics on error)
- `input_node` now panics on `None`
## Migration Guide
Remove `.unwrap()` from `add_node_edge` and `add_slot_edge`.
For cases where the error was handled, use `try_add_node_edge` and `try_add_slot_edge` instead.
Remove `.unwrap()` from `input_node`.
For cases where the option was handled, use `get_input_node` instead.

# Objective
Allow more use cases where the user may benefit from both `ExtractComponentPlugin` _and_ `UniformComponentPlugin`.
## Solution
Add an associated type to `ExtractComponent` in order to allow specifying the output component (or bundle).
Make `extract_component` return an `Option<_>` such that components can be extracted only when needed.
What problem does this solve?
`ExtractComponentPlugin` allows extracting components, but currently the output type is the same as the input.
This means that use cases such as having a settings struct which turns into a uniform is awkward.
For example we might have:
```rust
struct MyStruct {
enabled: bool,
val: f32
}
struct MyStructUniform {
val: f32
}
```
With the new approach, we can extract `MyStruct` only when it is enabled, and turn it into its related uniform.
This chains well with `UniformComponentPlugin`.
The user may then:
```rust
app.add_plugin(ExtractComponentPlugin::<MyStruct>::default());
app.add_plugin(UniformComponentPlugin::<MyStructUniform>::default());
```
This then saves the user a fair amount of boilerplate.
## Changelog
### Changed
- `ExtractComponent` can specify output type, and outputting is optional.

# Objective
Latest Release, "bevy 0.9" move the FrameCount updater into RenderPlugin, it leads to user who only run app with Core/Minimal Plugin cannot get the right number of FrameCount, it always return 0.
As for use cases like a server app, we don't want to add render dependencies to the app.
More detail in #6656
## Solution
- Move the `update_frame_count` into CorePlugin
# Objective
This add a ctor to `Box` to aid the creation of non-centred boxes. The PR adopts @rezural's work on PR #3322, taking into account the feedback on that PR from @james7132.
## Solution
`Box::from_corners()` creates a `Box` from two opposing corners and automatically determines the min and max extents to ensure that the `Box` is well-formed.
