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
- 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

ExtractResource plugin is added before the render world exists, instead
of silently failing.

# 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.

Co-authored-by: Patrick Walton <pcwalton@mimiga.net>
# 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.

# 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!
# Objective
- Clippy raises a few warnings on the latest nightly release. 📎
## Solution
- Use `ptr::from_ref` when possible, because it prevents you from
accidentally changing the mutability as well as its type.
- Use `ptr::addr_eq` when comparing two pointers, ignoring pointer
metadata.
# Objective
- animating a sprite in response to an event is a [common beginner

## Solution
Nuke `app_exit_manual` from orbit.
# Objective
- Be able to edit animation inside the editor and save them once
modified. This will allow bevy to modify animation assets with code.
- Fixes#13052
## Solution
- Expose the previously const getters of the Animation curves
---
# Objective
Follow up to #13062. As of async-executor 1.11, the crate reexports
FallibleTask, which is the only reason bevy_tasks has a direct
dependency on async-task. This should avoid the two dependencies getting
out of sync in the future and causing spurious compilation failures.
## Solution
Bump async-executor to 1.11, use the reexport, remove the dependency on
async-task.
# Objective
- bevy usually use `Parallel::scope` to collect items from `par_iter`,
but `scope` will be called with every satifified items. it will cause a
lot of unnecessary lookup.
## Solution
- similar to Rayon ,we introduce `for_each_init` for `par_iter` which
only be invoked when spawn a task for a group of items.
---
## Changelog
- added `for_each_init`
## Performance
`check_visibility ` in `many_foxes `
~40% performance gain in `check_visibility`.

# Objective
Allow `Gizmos` to work in `FixedUpdate` without any changes needed. This
changes `Gizmos` from being a purely immediate mode api, but allows the
user to use it as if it were an immediate mode API regardless of
schedule context.
Also allows for extending by other custom schedules by adding their own
`GizmoStorage<Clear>` and the requisite systems:
- `propagate_gizmos::<Clear>` before `update_gizmo_meshes`
- `stash_default_gizmos` when starting a clear context
- `pop_default_gizmos` when ending a clear context
- `collect_default_gizmos` when grabbing the requested gizmos
- `clear_gizmos` for clearing the context's gizmos
## Solution
Adds a generic to `Gizmos` that defaults to `Update` (the current way
gizmos works). When entering a new clear context the default `Gizmos`
gets swapped out for that context's duration so the context can collect
the gizmos requested.
Prior work: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9153
## To do
- [x] `FixedUpdate` should probably get its own First, Pre, Update,
Post, Last system sets for this. Otherwise users will need to make sure
to order their systems before `clear_gizmos`. This could alternatively
be fixed by moving the setup of this to `bevy_time::fixed`?
PR to fix this issue: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10977
- [x] use mem::take internally for the swaps?
- [x] Better name for the `Context` generic on gizmos? `Clear`?
---
## Changelog
- Gizmos drawn in `FixedMain` now last until the next `FixedMain`
iteration runs.
Bumps `async-task` to 4.7.0 , note this is what Cargo.lock has as well.
Building as a dependency gives the following:

# Objective
Adds a few extra `#[doc(alias)]` entries to the
`bevy_math::primitives::WindingOrder` enum and its variants to improve
searchability.
## Solution
- Add "Orientation" for `WindingOrder` itself
- Add "AntiClockwise" for `CounterClockwise` variant
- Add "Collinear" for `Invalid` variant
These alternate terms seem to be quite common, especially in the
contexts of rendering and collision-detection.

# Objective
Fixes#12470
This adds a examples for `ButtonInput` with `KeyCode`, `MouseButton`,
and `GamepadButton`.
It also includes an example of checking a multi-key combination, and
checking multiple keys to mean roughly the same thing.
# Objective
Closes#13017.
## Solution
- Make `AppExit` a enum with a `Success` and `Error` variant.
- Make `App::run()` return a `AppExit` if it ever returns.
- Make app runners return a `AppExit` to signal if they encountered a
error.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- [`App::should_exit`](https://example.org/)
- [`AppExit`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.AppExit.html)
to the `bevy` and `bevy_app` preludes,
### Changed
- [`AppExit`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.AppExit.html)
is now a enum with 2 variants (`Success` and `Error`).
- The app's [runner
function](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.App.html#method.set_runner)
now has to return a `AppExit`.
-
[`App::run()`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.App.html#method.run)
now also returns the `AppExit` produced by the runner function.
## Migration Guide
- Replace all usages of
[`AppExit`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.AppExit.html)
with `AppExit::Success` or `AppExit::Failure`.
- Any custom app runners now need to return a `AppExit`. We suggest you
return a `AppExit::Error` if any `AppExit` raised was a Error. You can
use the new [`App::should_exit`](https://example.org/) method.
- If not exiting from `main` any other way. You should return the
`AppExit` from `App::run()` so the app correctly returns a error code if
anything fails e.g.
```rust
fn main() -> AppExit {
App::new()
//Your setup here...
.run()
}
```

# Objective
- https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123905 has been merged, so the
workaround introduced in #12913 is no longer necessary.
- Closes#12968
## Solution
- Remove unecessary `allow` attribute
- This is currently blocked until Rust beta updates.
- Last tested with `rustc 1.78.0-beta.7 (6fd191292 2024-04-12)`.
# Objective
Add support so bevy_ui can correctly handle an UI hierarchy without a
camera present.
- Fixes#12184
## Solution
As there was no default behavior for what should happen when a camera is
not present in a UI hierarchy, the solution
was based in defining that default behavior and improving the overall
handling of this "exception".
## Changelog
- Create default values to be used in upsert_node
- Add flag to control warnings about no camera present
- Create unit test no_camera_ui (to test if ui handles no camera
present)
# Objective
Allow parallel iteration over events, resolve#10766
## Solution
- Add `EventParIter` which works similarly to `QueryParIter`,
implementing a `for_each{_with_id}` operator.
I chose to not mirror `EventIteratorWithId` and instead implement both
operations on a single struct.
- Reuse `BatchingStrategy` from `QueryParIter`
## Changelog
- `EventReader` now supports parallel event iteration using
`par_read().for_each(|event| ...)`.

# Objective
Makes crate module docs render correctly in the docs for the monolithic
library. Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13055.
## Solution
Swap from
```rust
pub mod foo {
pub use bevy_foo::*;
}
```
to
```rust
pub use bevy_foo as foo;
```
Adjusted the documentation to better describe the performance cost of
`ButtonInput::any_just_pressed|any_just_released|any_pressed`.
Each function iterates the full input, but each check is expected
constant cost. It was described previously as a full input check, and a
full internal list iteration, which I believe is incorrect.
# Objective
- `MeshPipelineKey` use some bits for two things
- First commit in this PR adds an assertion that doesn't work currently
on main
- This leads to some mesh topology not working anymore, for example
`LineStrip`
- With examples `lines`, there should be two groups of lines, the blue
one doesn't display currently
## Solution
- Change the `MeshPipelineKey` to be backed by a `u64` instead, to have
enough bits
# Objective
Fix#2128. Both `Query::new_archetype` and `SystemParam::new_archetype`
do not check if the `Archetype` comes from the same World the state is
initialized from. This could result in unsoundness via invalid accesses
if called incorrectly.
## Solution
Make them `unsafe` functions and lift the invariant to the caller. This
also caught one instance of us not validating the World in
`SystemState::update_archetypes_unsafe_world_cell`'s implementation.
---
## Changelog
Changed: `QueryState::new_archetype` is now an unsafe function.
Changed: `SystemParam::new_archetype` is now an unsafe function.
## Migration Guide
`QueryState::new_archetype` and `SystemParam::new_archetype` are now an
unsafe functions that must be sure that the provided `Archetype` is from
the same `World` that the state was initialized from. Callers may need
to add additional assertions or propagate the safety invariant upwards
through the callstack to ensure safety.
# Objective
- The docs says the WireframeColor is supposed to override the default
global color but it doesn't.

- Use WireframeColor to override global color like docs said it was
supposed to do.
- Updated the example to document this feature
- I also took the opportunity to clean up the code a bit
Fixes#13032
# Objective
- Fixes#13024.
## Solution
- Run `cargo clippy --target wasm32-unknown-unknown` until there are no
more errors.
- I recommend reviewing one commit at a time :)
---
## Changelog
- Fixed Clippy lints for `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target.
- Updated `bevy_transform`'s `README.md`.
# Objective
- Closes#12930.
## Solution
- Add a corresponding optional field on `Window` and `ExtractedWindow`
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `wgpu`'s `desired_maximum_frame_latency` is exposed through window
creation. This can be used to override the default maximum number of
queued frames on the GPU (currently 2).
## Migration Guide
- The `desired_maximum_frame_latency` field must be added to instances
of `Window` and `ExtractedWindow` where all fields are explicitly
specified.
# Objective
Sometimes when despawning a ui node in the PostUpdate schedule it
panics. This is because both a despawn command and insert command are
being run on the same entity.

.add_systems(Startup, setup)
.add_systems(Update, create_ui)
.add_systems(PostUpdate, despawn_nine_slice.after(UiSystem::Layout))
.run();
}

This code spawns a UiNode with a sliced image scale mode, and despawns
it in the same frame. The
bevy_ui::texture_slice::compute_slices_on_image_change system tries to
insert the ComputedTextureSlices component on that node, but that entity
is already despawned causing this error:
```md
error[B0003]: Could not insert a bundle (of type `bevy_ui::texture_slice::ComputedTextureSlices`) for entity Entity { index: 2, generation: 3 } because it doesn't
exist in this World. See: https://bevyengine.org/learn/errors/#b0003
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Encountered a panic when applying buffers for system `bevy_ui::texture_slice::compute_slices_on_image_change`!
Encountered a panic in system `bevy_ecs::schedule::executor::apply_deferred`!
Encountered a panic in system `bevy_app::main_schedule::Main::run_main`!
```
Note that you might have to run the code a few times before this error
appears.
## Solution
Use try_insert instead of insert for non critical inserts in the bevy_ui
crate.
## Some notes
In a lot of cases it does not makes much sense to despawn ui nodes after
the layout system has finished. Except maybe if you delete the root ui
node of a tree. I personally encountered this issue in bevy `0.13.2`
with a system that was running before the layout system. And in `0.13.2`
the `compute_slices_on_image_change` system was also running before the
layout system. But now it runs after the layout system. So the only way
that this bug appears now is if you despawn ui nodes after the layout
system. So I am not 100% sure if using try_insert in this system is the
best option. But personally I still think it is better then the program
panicking.
However the `update_children_target_camera` system does still run before
the layout system. So I do think it might still be able to panic when ui
nodes are despawned before the layout system. Though I haven't been able
to verify that.

When trying to be generic over `Material + Default`, the lack of a

## Changelog
## Migration Guide
# Objective
Related to #12981
Presently, there is a footgun where we allow non-normalized vectors to
be passed in the `axis` parameters of `Transform::rotate_axis` and
`Transform::rotate_local_axis`. These methods invoke
`Quat::from_axis_angle` which expects the vector to be normalized. This
PR aims to address this.
## Solution
Require `Dir3`-valued `axis` parameters for these functions so that the
vector's normalization can be enforced at type-level.
---
## Migration Guide
All calls to `Transform::rotate_axis` and `Transform::rotate_local_axis`
will need to be updated to use a `Dir3` for the `axis` parameter rather
than a `Vec3`. For a general input, this means calling `Dir3::new` and
handling the `Result`, but if the previous vector is already known to be
normalized, `Dir3::new_unchecked` can be called instead. Note that
literals like `Vec3::X` also have corresponding `Dir3` literals; e.g.
`Dir3::X`, `Dir3::NEG_Y` and so on.
---
## Discussion
This axis input is unambigiously a direction instead of a vector, and
that should probably be reflected and enforced by the function
signature. In previous cases where we used, e.g., `impl TryInto<Dir3>`,
the associated methods already implemented (and required!) additional
fall-back logic, since the input is conceptually more complicated than
merely specifying an axis. In this case, I think it's fairly
cut-and-dry, and I'm pretty sure these methods just predate our
direction types.
# Objective
As described in #12467, Bevy does not have any spans for any of the
tasks scheduled onto the IO and async compute task pools.
## Solution
Instrument all asset loads and asset processing. Since this change is
restricted to asset tasks, it does not completely solve #12467, but it
does mean we can record the asset path in the trace.
---
## Changelog
Tracing will now include spans for asset loading and asset processing.
glTF files that contain lights currently panic when loaded into Bevy,
because Bevy tries to reflect on `Cascades`, which accidentally wasn't
registered.
`EntityHashSet` doesn't seem to implement `Reflect` which seems weird!
Especially since `EntityHashMap` implements `Reflect`.
This PR just added an extra `impl_reflect_value!` for `EntityHashSet`
and this seems to do the trick.
I left out doing the same for `StableHashSet` since it's marked as
deprecated.
---
I'm really wondering what was the issue here. If anyone can explain why
`EntityHashSet` can't use the `Reflect` impl of `bevy_utils::HashSet`
similar to how it's the case with the `...HashMap`s I'd be interested!

- Use `ptr::from_ref` in more scenarios
- Extend the valid idents list used by `clippy:doc_markdown` with more
names
- Use `Clone::clone_from` when possible

# Objective
Improve the code quality of the multithreaded executor.
## Solution
* Remove some unused variables.
* Use `Mutex::get_mut` where applicable instead of locking.
* Use a `startup_systems` FixedBitset to pre-compute the starting
systems instead of building it bit-by-bit on startup.
* Instead of using `FixedBitset::clear` and `FixedBitset::union_with`,
use `FixedBitset::clone_from` instead, which does only a single copy and
will not allocate if the target bitset has a large enough allocation.
* Replace the `Mutex` around `Conditions` with `SyncUnsafeCell`, and add
a `Context::try_lock` that forces it to be synchronized fetched
alongside the executor lock.
This might produce minimal performance gains, but the focus here is on
the code quality improvements.

## Solution
- Recaclulated anchor from dimensions of sprite to dimension of each
part of it (each part contains its own anchor)
[Alpha to coverage] (A2C) replaces alpha blending with a
hardware-specific multisample coverage mask when multisample
antialiasing is in use. It's a simple form of [order-independent
transparency] that relies on MSAA. ["Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The
Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"] is a good summary of the motivation for and
best practices relating to A2C.
This commit implements alpha to coverage support as a new variant for
`AlphaMode`. You can supply `AlphaMode::AlphaToCoverage` as the
`alpha_mode` field in `StandardMaterial` to use it. When in use, the
standard material shader automatically applies the texture filtering
method from ["Anti-aliased Alpha Test: The Esoteric Alpha To Coverage"].
Objects with alpha-to-coverage materials are binned in the opaque pass,
as they're fully order-independent.
The `transparency_3d` example has been updated to feature an object with
alpha to coverage. Happily, the example was already using MSAA.
This is part of #2223, as far as I can tell.

In a recent project, a scenario emerged that required careful
consideration regarding change detection without compromising
performance. The context involves a component that maintains a
collection of `Vec<Vec2>` representing a horizontal surface, alongside a
height field. When the height is updated, there are a few approaches to
consider:
1. Clone the collection of points to utilize the existing `set_if_neq`
method.
2. Inline and adjust the `set_if_neq` code specifically for this
scenario.
3. (Consider splitting the component into more granular components.)
It's worth noting that the third option might be the most suitable in
most cases.
A similar situation arises with the Bevy internal Transform component,
which includes fields for translation, rotation, and scale. These fields
are relatively small (`Vec3` or `Quat` with 3 or 4 `f32` values), but
the creation of a single pointer (`usize`) might be more efficient than
copying the data of the other fields. This is speculative, and insights
from others could be valuable.
Questions remain:
- Is it feasible to develop a more flexible API, and what might that
entail?
- Is there general interest in this change?
There's no hard feelings if this idea or the PR is ultimately rejected.
I just wanted to put this idea out there and hope that this might be
beneficial to others and that feedback could be valuable before
abandoning the idea.

Fixes a crash when transcoding one- or two-channel KTX2 textures
## Solution
transcoded array has been pre-allocated up to levels.len using a macros.
Rgb8 transcoding already uses that and addresses transcoded array by an
index. R8UnormSrgb and Rg8UnormSrgb were pushing on top of the
transcoded vec, resulting in first levels.len() vectors to stay empty,
and second levels.len() levels actually being transcoded, which then
resulted in out of bounds read when copying levels to gpu
# Objective
- `cargo check --workspace` appears to merge features and dependencies
together, so it does not catch some issues where dependencies are not
properly feature-gated.
- The issues **are** caught, though, by running `cd $crate && cargo

## Solution
- Manually check each crate for issues.
```shell
# Script used

pushd $i
cargo check
popd

```
- `bevy_color` had an issue where it used `#[derive(Pod, Zeroable)]`
without using `bytemuck`'s `derive` feature.
- The `FpsOverlayPlugin` in `bevy_dev_tools` uses `bevy_ui`'s
`bevy_text` integration without properly enabling `bevy_text` as a
feature.
- `bevy_gizmos`'s `light` module was not properly feature-gated behind
`bevy_pbr`.
- ~~Lights appear to only be implemented in `bevy_pbr` and not
`bevy_sprite`, so I think this is the right call. Can I get a
confirmation by a gizmos person?~~ Confirmed :)
- `bevy_gltf` imported `SmallVec`, but only used it if `bevy_animation`
was enabled.
- There was another issue, but it was more challenging to solve than the
`smallvec` one. Run `cargo check -p bevy_gltf` and it will raise an
issue about `animation_roots`.

## Solution
correct keyframe indexing, i guess
`ExtractComponentPlugin` doesn't check to make sure the component is
actually present unless it's in the `QueryFilter`. This meant we placed
it everywhere. This regressed performance on many examples, such as
`many_cubes`.
Fixes#12956.
# Objective
The system task span is pretty consistent in how much time it uses, so
all it adds is overhead/additional bandwidth when profiling.
## Solution
Remove it.
`Sprite`, `Text`, and `Handle<MeshletMesh>` were types of renderable
entities that the new segregated visible entity system didn't handle, so
they didn't appear.
Because `bevy_text` depends on `bevy_sprite`, and the visibility
computation of text happens in the latter crate, I had to introduce a
new marker component, `SpriteSource`. `SpriteSource` marks entities that
aren't themselves sprites but become sprites during rendering. I added
this component to `Text2dBundle`. Unfortunately, this is technically a
breaking change, although I suspect it won't break anybody in practice
except perhaps editors.
Fixes#12935.
## Changelog
### Changed
* `Text2dBundle` now includes a new marker component, `SpriteSource`.
Bevy uses this internally to optimize visibility calculation.
## Migration Guide
* `Text` now requires a `SpriteSource` marker component in order to
appear. This component has been added to `Text2dBundle`.
# Objective
Improve performance scalability when adding new event types to a Bevy
app. Currently, just using Bevy in the default configuration, all apps
spend upwards of 100+us in the `First` schedule, every app tick,
evaluating if it should update events or not, even if events are not
being used for that particular frame, and this scales with the number of
Events registered in the app.
## Solution
As `Events::update` is guaranteed `O(1)` by just checking if a
resource's value, swapping two Vecs, and then clearing one of them, the
actual cost of running `event_update_system` is *very* cheap. The
overhead of doing system dependency injection, task scheduling ,and the
multithreaded executor outweighs the cost of running the system by a
large margin.
Create an `EventRegistry` resource that keeps a number of function
pointers that update each event. Replace the per-event type
`event_update_system` with a singular exclusive system uses the
`EventRegistry` to update all events instead. Update `SubApp::add_event`
to use `EventRegistry` instead.
## Performance
This speeds reduces the cost of the `First` schedule in both many_foxes
and many_cubes by over 80%. Note this is with system spans on. The
majority of this is now context-switching costs from launching
`time_system`, which should be mostly eliminated with #12869.
The actual `event_update_system` is usually *very* short, using only a
few microseconds on average.

# Objective
- I daily drive nightly Rust when developing Bevy, so I notice when new
warnings are raised by `cargo check` and Clippy.
- `cargo +nightly clippy` raises a few of these new warnings.
## Solution
- Fix most warnings from `cargo +nightly clippy`
- I skipped the docs-related warnings because some were covered by
#12692.
- Use `Clone::clone_from` in applicable scenarios, which can sometimes
avoid an extra allocation.
- Implement `Default` for structs that have a `pub const fn new() ->
Self` method.
- Fix an occurrence where generic constraints were defined in both `<C:
Trait>` and `where C: Trait`.
- Removed generic constraints that were implied by the `Bundle` trait.
---
## Changelog
- `BatchingStrategy`, `NonGenericTypeCell`, and `GenericTypeCell` now
implement `Default`.
This commit splits `VisibleEntities::entities` into four separate lists:
one for lights, one for 2D meshes, one for 3D meshes, and one for UI
elements. This allows `queue_material_meshes` and similar methods to
avoid examining entities that are obviously irrelevant. In particular,
this separation helps scenes with many skinned meshes, as the individual
bones are considered visible entities but have no rendered appearance.
Internally, `VisibleEntities::entities` is a `HashMap` from the `TypeId`
representing a `QueryFilter` to the appropriate `Entity` list. I had to
do this because `VisibleEntities` is located within an upstream crate
from the crates that provide lights (`bevy_pbr`) and 2D meshes
(`bevy_sprite`). As an added benefit, this setup allows apps to provide
their own types of renderable components, by simply adding a specialized
`check_visibility` to the schedule.
This provides a 16.23% end-to-end speedup on `many_foxes` with 10,000
foxes (24.06 ms/frame to 20.70 ms/frame).
## Migration guide
* `check_visibility` and `VisibleEntities` now store the four types of
renderable entities--2D meshes, 3D meshes, lights, and UI
elements--separately. If your custom rendering code examines
`VisibleEntities`, it will now need to specify which type of entity it's
interested in using the `WithMesh2d`, `WithMesh`, `WithLight`, and
`WithNode` types respectively. If your app introduces a new type of
renderable entity, you'll need to add an explicit call to
`check_visibility` to the schedule to accommodate your new component or
components.

[`clippy::ref_as_ptr`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#/ref_as_ptr)
prevents you from directly casting references to pointers, requiring you

converting an immutable reference into a mutable pointer (`&x as *mut
T`).

- Enable lint and fix all warnings.
I ported the two existing PCF techniques to the cubemap domain as best I
could. Generally, the technique is to create a 2D orthonormal basis
using Gram-Schmidt normalization, then apply the technique over that
basis. The results look fine, though the shadow bias often needs
adjusting.
For comparison, Unity uses a 4-tap pattern for PCF on point lights of
(1, 1, 1), (-1, -1, 1), (-1, 1, -1), (1, -1, -1). I tried this but
didn't like the look, so I went with the design above, which ports the
2D techniques to the 3D domain. There's surprisingly little material on
point light PCF.
I've gone through every example using point lights and verified that the
shadow maps look fine, adjusting biases as necessary.
Fixes#3628.

Currently, `MeshUniform`s are rather large: 160 bytes. They're also
somewhat expensive to compute, because they involve taking the inverse
of a 3x4 matrix. Finally, if a mesh is present in multiple views, that
mesh will have a separate `MeshUniform` for each and every view, which
is wasteful.
This commit fixes these issues by introducing the concept of a *mesh
input uniform* and adding a *mesh uniform building* compute shader pass.
The `MeshInputUniform` is simply the minimum amount of data needed for
the GPU to compute the full `MeshUniform`. Most of this data is just the
transform and is therefore only 64 bytes. `MeshInputUniform`s are
computed during the *extraction* phase, much like skins are today, in
order to avoid needlessly copying transforms around on CPU. (In fact,
the render app has been changed to only store the translation of each
mesh; it no longer cares about any other part of the transform, which is
stored only on the GPU and the main world.) Before rendering, the
`build_mesh_uniforms` pass runs to expand the `MeshInputUniform`s to the
full `MeshUniform`.
The mesh uniform building pass does the following, all on GPU:
1. Copy the appropriate fields of the `MeshInputUniform` to the
`MeshUniform` slot. If a single mesh is present in multiple views, this
effectively duplicates it into each view.
2. Compute the inverse transpose of the model transform, used for
transforming normals.
3. If applicable, copy the mesh's transform from the previous frame for
TAA. To support this, we double-buffer the `MeshInputUniform`s over two
frames and swap the buffers each frame. The `MeshInputUniform`s for the
current frame contain the index of that mesh's `MeshInputUniform` for
the previous frame.
This commit produces wins in virtually every CPU part of the pipeline:
`extract_meshes`, `queue_material_meshes`,
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`, and especially
`write_batched_instance_buffer` are all faster. Shrinking the amount of
CPU data that has to be shuffled around speeds up the entire rendering
process.
| Benchmark | This branch | `main` | Speedup |
|------------------------|-------------|---------|---------|
| `many_cubes -nfc` | 17.259 | 24.529 | 42.12% |
| `many_cubes -nfc -vpi` | 302.116 | 312.123 | 3.31% |
| `many_foxes` | 3.227 | 3.515 | 8.92% |
Because mesh uniform building requires compute shader, and WebGL 2 has
no compute shader, the existing CPU mesh uniform building code has been
left as-is. Many types now have both CPU mesh uniform building and GPU
mesh uniform building modes. Developers can opt into the old CPU mesh
uniform building by setting the `use_gpu_uniform_builder` option on
`PbrPlugin` to `false`.
Below are graphs of the CPU portions of `many-cubes
--no-frustum-culling`. Yellow is this branch, red is `main`.
`extract_meshes`:
It's notable that we get a small win even though we're now writing to a
GPU buffer.
`queue_material_meshes`:
There's a bit of a regression here; not sure what's causing it. In any
case it's very outweighed by the other gains.
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`:
There's a huge win here, enough to make batching basically drop off the
profile.
`write_batched_instance_buffer`:
There's a massive improvement here, as expected. Note that a lot of it
simply comes from the fact that `MeshInputUniform` is `Pod`. (This isn't
a maintainability problem in my view because `MeshInputUniform` is so
simple: just 16 tightly-packed words.)
## Changelog
### Added
* Per-mesh instance data is now generated on GPU with a compute shader
instead of CPU, resulting in rendering performance improvements on
platforms where compute shaders are supported.
## Migration guide
* Custom render phases now need multiple systems beyond just
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`. Code that was previously creating
custom render phases should now add a `BinnedRenderPhasePlugin` or
`SortedRenderPhasePlugin` as appropriate instead of directly adding
`batch_and_prepare_render_phase`.
# Objective

- Ignore a buggy rustdoc lint that thinks `App` is already in scope for
`UpdateMode` doc. (Extracted from #12692.)
# Objective
- All gizmos APIs besides `gizmos.primitive_3d` use `impl Into<Color>`
as their type for `color`.
## Solution
- This PR changes `primitive_3d()` to use `impl Into<Color>` aswell.
# 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
- Ongoing work for #10572
- Implement the `Meshable` trait for `Triangle3d`, allowing 3d triangle
primitives to produce meshes.
## Solution
The `Meshable` trait for `Triangle3d` directly produces a `Mesh`, much
like that of `Triangle2d`. The mesh consists only of a single triangle
(the triangle itself), and its vertex data consists of:
- Vertex positions, which are the triangle's vertices themselves (i.e.
the triangle provides its own coordinates in mesh space directly)
- Normals, which are all the normal of the triangle itself
- Indices, which are directly inferred from the vertex order (note that
this is slightly different than `Triangle2d` which, because of its lower
dimension, has an orientation which can be corrected for so that it
always faces "the right way")
- UV coordinates, which are produced as follows:
1. The first coordinate is coincident with the `ab` direction of the
triangle.
2. The second coordinate maps to be perpendicular to the first in mesh
space, so that the UV-mapping is skew-free.
3. The UV-coordinates map to the smallest rectangle possible containing
the triangle, given the preceding constraints.
Here is a visual demonstration; here, the `ab` direction of the triangle
is horizontal, left to right — the point `c` moves, expanding the
bounding rectangle of the triangle when it pushes past `a` or `b`:

The UV-mapping of `Triangle2d` has also been changed to use the same
logic.
---
## Changelog
- Implemented `Meshable` for `Triangle3d`.
- Changed UV-mapping of `Triangle2d` to match that of `Triangle3d`.
## Migration Guide
The UV-mapping of `Triangle2d` has changed with this PR; the main
difference is that the UVs are no longer dependent on the triangle's
absolute coordinates, but instead follow translations of the triangle
itself in its definition. If you depended on the old UV-coordinates for
`Triangle2d`, then you will have to update affected areas to use the new
ones which, briefly, can be described as follows:
- The first coordinate is parallel to the line between the first two
vertices of the triangle.
- The second coordinate is orthogonal to this, pointing in the direction
of the third point.
Generally speaking, this means that the first two points will have
coordinates `[_, 0.]`, while the third coordinate will be `[_, 1.]`,
with the exact values depending on the position of the third point
relative to the first two. For acute triangles, the first two vertices
always have UV-coordinates `[0., 0.]` and `[1., 0.]` respectively. For
obtuse triangles, the third point will have coordinate `[0., 1.]` or
`[1., 1.]`, with the coordinate of one of the two other points shifting
to maintain proportionality.
For example:
- The default `Triangle2d` has UV-coordinates `[0., 0.]`, `[0., 1.]`,
[`0.5, 1.]`.
- The triangle with vertices `vec2(0., 0.)`, `vec2(1., 0.)`, `vec2(2.,
1.)` has UV-coordinates `[0., 0.]`, `[0.5, 0.]`, `[1., 1.]`.
- The triangle with vertices `vec2(0., 0.)`, `vec2(1., 0.)`, `vec2(-2.,
1.)` has UV-coordinates `[2./3., 0.]`, `[1., 0.]`, `[0., 1.]`.
## Discussion
### Design considerations
1. There are a number of ways to UV-map a triangle (at least two of
which are fairly natural); for instance, we could instead declare the
second axis to be essentially `bc` so that the vertices are always `[0.,
0.]`, `[0., 1.]`, and `[1., 0.]`. I chose this method instead because it
is skew-free, so that the sampling from textures has only bilinear
scaling. I think this is better for cases where a relatively "uniform"
texture is mapped to the triangle, but it's possible that we might want
to support the other thing in the future. Thankfully, we already have
the capability of easily expanding to do that with Builders if the need
arises. This could also allow us to provide things like barycentric
subdivision.
2. Presently, the mesh-creation code for `Triangle3d` is set up to never
fail, even in the case that the triangle is degenerate. I have mixed
feelings about this, but none of our other primitive meshes fail, so I
decided to take the same approach. Maybe this is something that could be
worth revisiting in the future across the board.

# Objective
Minimize the number of dependencies low in the tree.
## Solution
* Remove the dependency on rustc-hash in bevy_ecs (not used) and
bevy_macro_utils (only used in one spot).
* Deduplicate the dependency on `sha1_smol` with the existing blake3
dependency already being used for bevy_asset.
* Remove the unused `ron` dependency on `bevy_app`
* Make the `serde` dependency for `bevy_ecs` optional. It's only used
for serializing Entity.
* Change the `wgpu` dependency to `wgpu-types`, and make it optional for
`bevy_color`.
* Remove the unused `thread-local` dependency on `bevy_render`.
* Make multiple dependencies for `bevy_tasks` optional and enabled only
when running with the `multi-threaded` feature. Preferably they'd be
disabled all the time on wasm, but I couldn't find a clean way to do
this.

- Make `ReflectComponent::apply`, `ReflectComponent::reflect_mut` and
`ReflectBundle::apply` work with `EntityMut` too (currently they only
work with the more restricting `EntityWorldMut`);

conversion in that case is more expensive. Let me know if I should add
support for them too.

`ReflectBundle::apply` take an `impl Into<EntityMut<'a>>`;
- Make the corresponding `*Fns` function pointers take a `EntityMut`.

# Objective
make morph targets and tonemapping more tolerant of delayed image
loading.
neither of these actually fail currently unless using a bespoke loader
(and even then it would be rare), but i am working on adding throttling
for asset gpu uploads (as a stopgap until we can do proper asset
streaming) and they break with that.
## Solution
when a mesh with morph targets is uploaded to the gpu, the prepare
function uploads the morph target texture if it's available, otherwise
it uploads without morph targets. this is generally fine as long as
morph targets are typically loaded from bytes (in gltf loader), but may
fail for a custom loader if the asset server async-loads the target
texture and the texture is not available yet. the mesh fails to render
and doesn't update when the image is loaded
-> if morph targets are specified but not ready yet, retry mesh upload
next frame
tonemapping `unwrap`s on the lookup table image. this is never a problem
since the image is added via `include_bytes!`, but could be a problem in
future with asset gpu throttling/streaming.
-> if the lookup texture is not yet available, use a fallback
-> in the node, check if the fallback was used before caching the bind
group
