# Objective
Currently we are limiting the amount of direction lights in a scene to one.
## Solution
Increase the amount of direction lights from 1 to 10.
This still is not a perfect solution, but should unblock many use cases.
We could probably just store the directional lights similar to the point lights in an storage buffer, allowing for an variable amount of directional lights.

# Objective
Right now, the `TaskPool` implementation allows panics to permanently kill worker threads upon panicking. This is currently non-recoverable without using a `std::panic::catch_unwind` in every scheduled task. This is poor ergonomics and even poorer developer experience. This is exacerbated by #2250 as these threads are global and cannot be replaced after initialization.
Removes the need for temporary fixes like #4998. Fixes#4996. Fixes#6081. Fixes#5285. Fixes#5054. Supersedes #2307.
## Solution
The current solution is to wrap `Executor::run` in `TaskPool` with a `catch_unwind`, and discarding the potential panic. This was taken straight from [smol](404c7bcc0a/src/spawn.rs (L44))'s current implementation. ~~However, this is not entirely ideal as:~~
- ~~the signaled to the awaiting task. We would need to change `Task<T>` to use `async_task::FallibleTask` internally, and even then it doesn't signal *why* it panicked, just that it did.~~ (See below).
- ~~no error is logged of any kind~~ (See below)
- ~~it's unclear if it drops other tasks in the executor~~ (it does not)
- ~~This allows the ECS parallel executor to keep chugging even though a system's task has been dropped. This inevitably leads to deadlock in the executor.~~ Assuming we don't catch the unwind in ParallelExecutor, this will naturally kill the main thread.
### Alternatives
A final solution likely will incorporate elements of any or all of the following.
#### ~~Log and Ignore~~
~~Log the panic, drop the task, keep chugging. This only addresses the discoverability of the panic. The process will continue to run, probably deadlocking the executor. tokio's detatched tasks operate in this fashion.~~
Panics already do this by default, even when caught by `catch_unwind`.
#### ~~`catch_unwind` in `ParallelExecutor`~~
~~Add another layer catching system-level panics into the `ParallelExecutor`. How the executor continues when a core dependency of many systems fails to run is up for debate.~~
`async_task::Task` bubbles up panics already, this will transitively push panics all the way to the main thread.
#### ~~Emulate/Copy `tokio::JoinHandle` with `Task<T>`~~
~~`tokio::JoinHandle<T>` bubbles up the panic from the underlying task when awaited. This can be transitively applied across other APIs that also use `Task<T>` like `Query::par_for_each` and `TaskPool::scope`, bubbling up the panic until it's either caught or it reaches the main thread.~~
`async_task::Task` bubbles up panics already, this will transitively push panics all the way to the main thread.
#### Abort on Panic
The nuclear option. Log the error, abort the entire process on any thread in the task pool panicking. Definitely avoids any additional infrastructure for passing the panic around, and might actually lead to more efficient code as any unwinding is optimized out. However gives the developer zero options for dealing with the issue, a seemingly poor choice for debuggability, and prevents graceful shutdown of the process. Potentially an option for handling very low-level task management (a la #4740). Roughly takes the shape of:
```rust
struct AbortOnPanic;
impl Drop for AbortOnPanic {
fn drop(&mut self) {
abort!();
}
}
let guard = AbortOnPanic;
// Run task
std::mem::forget(AbortOnPanic);
```
---
## Changelog
Changed: `bevy_tasks::TaskPool`'s threads will no longer terminate permanently when a task scheduled onto them panics.
Changed: `bevy_tasks::Task` and`bevy_tasks::Scope` will propagate panics in the spawned tasks/scopes to the parent thread.
# Objective
Add consistent UI rendering and interaction where deep nodes inside two different hierarchies will never render on top of one-another by default and offer an escape hatch (z-index) for nodes to change their depth.
## The problem with current implementation
The current implementation of UI rendering is broken in that regard, mainly because [it sets the Z value of the `Transform` component based on a "global Z" space](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/crates/bevy_ui/src/update.rs#L43) shared by all nodes in the UI. This doesn't account for the fact that each node's final `GlobalTransform` value will be relative to its parent. This effectively makes the depth unpredictable when two deep trees are rendered on top of one-another.
At the moment, it's also up to each part of the UI code to sort all of the UI nodes. The solution that's offered here does the full sorting of UI node entities once and offers the result through a resource so that all systems can use it.
## Solution
### New ZIndex component
This adds a new optional `ZIndex` enum component for nodes which offers two mechanism:
- `ZIndex::Local(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to its siblings.
- `ZIndex::Global(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to the UI root. This basically allows any node in the tree to "escape" the parent and be ordered relative to the entire UI.
Note that in the current implementation, omitting `ZIndex` on a node has the same result as adding `ZIndex::Local(0)`. Additionally, the "global" stacking context is essentially a way to add your node to the root stacking context, so using `ZIndex::Local(n)` on a root node (one without parent) will share that space with all nodes using `Index::Global(n)`.
### New UiStack resource
This adds a new `UiStack` resource which is calculated from both hierarchy and `ZIndex` during UI update and contains a vector of all node entities in the UI, ordered by depth (from farthest from camera to closest). This is exposed publicly by the bevy_ui crate with the hope that it can be used for consistent ordering and to reduce the amount of sorting that needs to be done by UI systems (i.e. instead of sorting everything by `global_transform.z` in every system, this array can be iterated over).
### New z_index example
This also adds a new z_index example that showcases the new `ZIndex` component. It's also a good general demo of the new UI stack system, because making this kind of UI was very broken with the old system (e.g. nodes would render on top of each other, not respecting hierarchy or insert order at all).
---
## Changelog
- Added the `ZIndex` component to bevy_ui.
- Added the `UiStack` resource to bevy_ui, and added implementation in a new `stack.rs` module.
- Removed the previous Z updating system from bevy_ui, because it was replaced with the above.
- Changed bevy_ui rendering to use UiStack instead of z ordering.
- Changed bevy_ui focus/interaction system to use UiStack instead of z ordering.
- Added a new z_index example.

# Objective
- Right now re-exports are completely hidden in prelude docs.
- Fixes#6433
## Solution
- We could show the re-exports without inlining their documentation.
# Objective
Fixes#6059, changing all incorrect occurrences of ``id`` in the ``entity`` module to ``index``:

* ``id`` method and its documentation.
## Solution
Renaming and verifying using CI.

# Objective
In some scenarios it can be useful to check if a task has been finished without polling it. I added a function called `is_finished` to check if a task has been finished.
## Solution
Since `async_task` supports it out of the box, it is just a simple wrapper function.

# Objective
- Add post processing passes for FXAA (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing)
- Add example comparing MSAA and FXAA
## Solution
When the FXAA plugin is added, passes for FXAA are inserted between the main pass and the tonemapping pass. Supports using either HDR or LDR output from the main pass.
---
## Changelog
- Add a new FXAANode that runs after the main pass when the FXAA plugin is added.

For `derive(WorldQuery)`, there are three structs generated, `Item`, `Fetch` and `State`.
These inherit the visibility of the derived structure, thus `#![warn(missing_docs)]` would
warn about missing documentation for these structures.
- [ ] I'd like some advice on what to write here, as I personally don't really understand `Fetch` nor `State`.
# Objective
Currently, `bevy_dynamic_plugin` simply panics on error. This makes it impossible to handle failures in applications that use this feature.
For example, I'd like to build an optional expansion for my game, that may not be distributed to all users. I want to use `bevy_dynamic_plugin` for loading it. I want my game to try to load it on startup, but continue without it if it cannot be loaded.
## Solution
- Make the `dynamically_load_plugin` function return a `Result`, so it can gracefully return loading errors.
- Create an error enum type, to provide useful information about the kind of error. This adds `thiserror` to the dependencies of `bevy_dynamic_plugin`, but that dependency is already used in other parts of bevy (such as `bevy_asset`), so not a big deal.
I chose not to change the behavior of the builder method in the App extension trait. I kept it as panicking. There is no clean way (that I'm aware of) to make a builder-style API that has fallible methods. So it is either a panic or a warning. I feel the panic is more appropriate.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- `bevy_dynamic_plugin::dynamically_load_plugin` now returns `Result` instead of panicking, to allow for error handling
# Objective
* Add benchmarks for `Query::get_many`.
* Speed up `Query::get_many`.
## Solution
Previously, `get_many` and `get_many_mut` used the method `array::map`, which tends to optimize very poorly. This PR replaces uses of that method with loops.
## Benchmarks

I've only described it's behavior so far (which appears to be the same as with `system_param`). Is there another use-case for this besides with `PhantomData`? I could only find a single usage of this construct on GitHub, which is [here](ffcb816927/bevy/examples/ecs/custom_query_param.rs (L102)).
I was also wondering if it would make sense to add a usage example to the `custom_query_example`? 🤔 That's why it's currently still in there.

# Objective
`bevy_core` is missing a feature corresponding to the `serialize` feature on the `bevy` crate. Similar to #6378 and https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6379 to serialize `Name` easily.
## Solution
Add this feature and hand-written serialization for `Name` (to avoid storing `hash` field).
---
## Changelog
### Added
* `Serialize` and `Deserialize` derives for `Name` under `serialize` feature.
# Objective
Post processing effects cannot read and write to the same texture. Currently they must own their own intermediate texture and redundantly copy from that back to the main texture. This is very inefficient.
Additionally, working with ViewTarget is more complicated than it needs to be, especially when working with HDR textures.
## Solution
`ViewTarget` now stores two copies of the "main texture". It uses an atomic value to track which is currently the "main texture" (this interior mutability is necessary to accommodate read-only RenderGraph execution).
`ViewTarget` now has a `post_process_write` method, which will return a source and destination texture. Each call to this method will flip between the two copies of the "main texture".
```rust
let post_process = render_target.post_process_write();
let source_texture = post_process.source;
let destination_texture = post_process.destination;
```
The caller _must_ read from the source texture and write to the destination texture, as it is assumed that the destination texture will become the new "main texture".
For simplicity / understandability `ViewTarget` is now a flat type. "hdr-ness" is a property of the `TextureFormat`. The internals are fully private in the interest of providing simple / consistent apis. Developers can now easily access the main texture by calling `view_target.main_texture()`.
HDR ViewTargets no longer have an "ldr texture" with `TextureFormat::bevy_default`. They _only_ have their two "hdr" textures. This simplifies the mental model. All we have is the "currently active hdr texture" and the "other hdr texture", which we flip between for post processing effects.
The tonemapping node has been rephrased to use this "post processing pattern". The blit pass has been removed, and it now only runs a pass when HDR is enabled. Notably, both the input and output texture are assumed to be HDR. This means that tonemapping behaves just like any other "post processing effect". It could theoretically be moved anywhere in the "effect chain" and continue to work.
In general, I think these changes will make the lives of people making post processing effects much easier. And they better position us to start building higher level / more structured "post processing effect stacks".
---
## Changelog
- `ViewTarget` now stores two copies of the "main texture". Calling `ViewTarget::post_process_write` will flip between copies of the main texture.
# Objective
- `ReflectDefault` can be used to create default values for reflected types
- `std` primitives that are `Default`-constructable should register `ReflectDefault`
## Solution
- register `ReflectDefault`
# Objective
- Fixes #6311
- Make it clearer what should be done in the example (close the Bevy app window)
## Solution
- Remove the second windowed Bevy App [since winit does not support this](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/blob/v0.27.4/src/event_loop.rs#L82-L83)
- Add title to the Bevy window asking the user to close it
This is more of a quick fix to have a working example. It would be nicer if we had a small real usecase for this functionality.
Another alternativ that I tried out: If we want to showcase a second Bevy app as it was before, we could still do this as long as one of them does not have a window. But I don't see how this is helpful in the context of the example, so I stuck with only one Bevy app and a simple print afterwards.
# Objective
Entities are unique, however, this is not reflected in the scene format. Currently, entities are stored in a list where a user could inadvertently create a duplicate of the same entity.
## Solution
Switch from the list representation to a map representation for entities.
---
## Changelog
* The `entities` field in the scene format is now a map of entity ID to entity data
## Migration Guide
The scene format now stores its collection of entities in a map rather than a list:

# Objective
- Make it impossible to add a plugin twice
- This is going to be more a risk for plugins with configurations, to avoid things like `App::new().add_plugins(DefaultPlugins).add_plugin(ImagePlugin::default_nearest())`
## Solution
- Panic when a plugin is added twice
- It's still possible to mark a plugin as not unique by overriding `is_unique`
- ~~Simpler version of~~ #3988 (not simpler anymore because of how `PluginGroupBuilder` implements `PluginGroup`)
# Objective
- Bevy main crashs on Safari mobile
- On Safari mobile, calling winit_window.set_cursor_grab(true) fails as the API is not implemented (as there is no cursor on Safari mobile, the api doesn't make sense there). I don't know about other mobile browsers
## Solution
- Do not call the api to release cursor grab on window creation, as the cursor is not grabbed anyway at this point
- This is #3617 which was lost in #6218
# Objective
Fixes#6378
`bevy_transform` is missing a feature corresponding to the `serialize` feature on the `bevy` crate.
## Solution
Adds a `serialize` feature to `bevy_transform`.
Derives `serde::Serialize` and `Deserialize` when feature is enabled.
# Objective
Currently toggling an `AudioSink` (for example from a game menu) requires writing
```rs
if sink.is_paused() {
sink.play();
} else {
sink.pause();
}
```
It would be nicer if we could reduce this down to a single line
```rs
sink.toggle();
```
## Solution
Add an `AudioSink::toggle` method which does exactly that.
---
## Changelog
- Added `AudioSink::toggle` which can be used to toggle state of a sink.
# Objective
Add methods to `Query<&Children>` and `Query<&Parent>` to iterate over descendants and ancestors, respectively.
## Changelog
* Added extension trait for `Query` in `bevy_hierarchy`, `HierarchyQueryExt`
* Added method `iter_descendants` to `Query<&Children>` via `HierarchyQueryExt` for iterating over the descendants of an entity.
* Added method `iter_ancestors` to `Query<&Parent>` via `HierarchyQueryExt` for iterating over the ancestors of an entity.

- Freeing unused memory held by visible entities
- Fixed comment style
# Objective
With Rust 1.56 it's possible to shrink vectors to a specified capacity. Visibility system had a comment before asking for that feature to free unused memory by a vector if its capacity is two times larger than the length.
## Solution
Shrinking the vector of visible entities to the nearest power of 2 elements next to `len()`, if capacity exceeds it more than two times.
# Objective
- Time have `Reflect`, but doesn't have `FromReflect`.
## Solution
- Add it for `Timer`, `Stopwatch` and `TimerMode`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* `FromReflect` derive for `Timer`, `Stopwatch` and `TimerMode`.
# Objective
Bevy still has many instances of using single-tuples `(T,)` to create a bundle. Due to #2975, this is no longer necessary.
## Solution
Search for regex `\(.+\s*,\)`. This should have found every instance.
# Objective
Fix the soundness issue outlined in #5866. In short the problem is that `query.to_readonly().get_component_mut::<T>()` can provide unsound mutable access to the component. This PR is an alternative to just removing the offending api. Given that `to_readonly` is a useful tool, I think this approach is a preferable short term solution. Long term I think theres a better solution out there, but we can find that on its own time.
## Solution
Add what amounts to a "dirty flag" that marks Queries that have been converted to their read-only variant via `to_readonly` as dirty. When this flag is set to true, `get_component_mut` will fail with an error, preventing the unsound access.
# Objective
Following discussion on #3536 and #3522, `Handle::as_weak()` takes a type `U`, reinterpreting the handle as of another asset type while keeping the same ID. This is mainly used today in font atlas code. This PR does two things:
- Rename the method to `cast_weak()` to make its intent more clear
- Actually change the type uuid in the handle if it's not an asset path variant.
## Migration Guide
- Rename `Handle::as_weak` uses to `Handle::cast_weak`
The method now properly sets the associated type uuid if the handle is a direct reference (e.g. not a reference to an `AssetPath`), so adjust you code accordingly if you relied on the previous behavior.
# Objective
Currently for entities we serialize only `id`. But this is not very expected behavior. For example, in networking, when the server sends its state, it contains entities and components. On the client, I create new objects and map them (using `EntityMap`) to those received from the server (to know which one matches which). And if `generation` field is missing, this mapping can be broken. Example:
1. Server sends an entity `Entity{ id: 2, generation: 1}` with components.
2. Client puts the received entity in a map and create a new entity that maps to this received entity. The new entity have different `id` and `generation`. Let's call it `Entity{ id: 12, generation: 4}`.
3. Client sends a command for `Entity{ id: 12, generation: 4}`. To do so, it maps local entity to the one from server. But `generation` field is 0 because it was omitted for serialization on the server. So it maps to `Entity{ id: 2, generation: 0}`.
4. Server receives `Entity{ id: 2, generation: 0}` which is invalid.
In my game I worked around it by [writing custom serialization](https://github.com/dollisgame/dollis/blob/master/src/core/network/entity_serde.rs) and using `serde(with = "...")`. But it feels like a bad default to me.
Using `Entity` over a custom `NetworkId` also have the following advantages:
1. Re-use `MapEntities` trait to map `Entity`s in replicated components.
2. Instead of server `Entity <-> NetworkId ` and `Entity <-> NetworkId`, we map entities only on client.
3. No need to handling uniqueness. It's a rare case, but makes things simpler. For example, I don't need to query for a resource to create an unique ID.
Closes#6143.
## Solution
Use default serde impls. If anyone want to avoid wasting memory on `generation`, they can create a new type that holds `u32`. This is what Bevy do for [DynamicEntity](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/scene/struct.DynamicEntity.html) to serialize scenes. And I don't see any use case to serialize an entity id expect this one.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Entity now serializes / deserializes `generation` field.
## Migration Guide
- Entity now fully serialized. If you want to serialze only `id`, as it was before, you can create a new type that wraps `u32`.
# Objective
- fix new clippy lints before they get stable and break CI
## Solution
- run `clippy --fix` to auto-fix machine-applicable lints
- silence `clippy::should_implement_trait` for `fn HandleId::default<T: Asset>`
## Changes
- always prefer `format!("{inline}")` over `format!("{}", not_inline)`
- prefer `Box::default` (or `Box::<T>::default` if necessary) over `Box::new(T::default())`
# Objective
^ enable this
Concretely, I need to
- list all handle ids for an asset type
- fetch the asset as `dyn Reflect`, given a `HandleUntyped`
- when encountering a `Handle<T>`, find out what asset type that handle refers to (`T`'s type id) and turn the handle into a `HandleUntyped`
## Solution
- add `ReflectAsset` type containing function pointers for working with assets
```rust
pub struct ReflectAsset {
type_uuid: Uuid,
assets_resource_type_id: TypeId, // TypeId of the `Assets<T>` resource
get: fn(&World, HandleUntyped) -> Option<&dyn Reflect>,
get_mut: fn(&mut World, HandleUntyped) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect>,
get_unchecked_mut: unsafe fn(&World, HandleUntyped) -> Option<&mut dyn Reflect>,
add: fn(&mut World, &dyn Reflect) -> HandleUntyped,
set: fn(&mut World, HandleUntyped, &dyn Reflect) -> HandleUntyped,
len: fn(&World) -> usize,
ids: for<'w> fn(&'w World) -> Box<dyn Iterator<Item = HandleId> + 'w>,
remove: fn(&mut World, HandleUntyped) -> Option<Box<dyn Reflect>>,
}
```
- add `ReflectHandle` type relating the handle back to the asset type and providing a way to create a `HandleUntyped`
```rust
pub struct ReflectHandle {
type_uuid: Uuid,
asset_type_id: TypeId,
downcast_handle_untyped: fn(&dyn Any) -> Option<HandleUntyped>,
}
```
- add the corresponding `FromType` impls
- add a function `app.register_asset_reflect` which is supposed to be called after `.add_asset` and registers `ReflectAsset` and `ReflectHandle` in the type registry
---
## Changelog
- add `ReflectAsset` and `ReflectHandle` types, which allow code to use reflection to manipulate arbitrary assets without knowing their types at compile time
fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/5944
Uses the second solution:
> 2. keep track of the old viewport in the computed_state, and if camera.viewport != camera.computed_state.old_viewport, then update the projection. This is more reliable, but needs to store two UVec2s more in the camera (probably not a big deal).
# Objective
Clean up code surrounding fetch by pulling out the common parts into the iteration code.
## Solution
Merge `Fetch::table_fetch` and `Fetch::archetype_fetch` into a single API: `Fetch::fetch(&mut self, entity: &Entity, table_row: &usize)`. This provides everything any fetch requires to internally decide which storage to read from and get the underlying data. All of these functions are marked as `#[inline(always)]` and the arguments are passed as references to attempt to optimize out the argument that isn't being used.
External to `Fetch`, Query iteration has been changed to keep track of the table row and entity outside of fetch, which moves a lot of the expensive bookkeeping `Fetch` structs had previously done internally into the outer loop.
~~TODO: Benchmark, docs~~ Done.

## Changelog
Changed: `Fetch::table_fetch` and `Fetch::archetype_fetch` have been merged into a single `Fetch::fetch` function.

# Objective
Currently, `DynamicSceneBuilder` keeps track of entities via a `HashMap`. This has an unintended side-effect in that, when building the full `DynamicScene`, we aren't guaranteed any particular order.
In other words, inserting Entity A then Entity B can result in either `[A, B]` or `[B, A]`. This can be rather annoying when running tests on scenes generated via the builder as it will work sometimes but not other times. There's also the potential that this might unnecessarily clutter up VCS diffs for scene files (assuming they had an intentional order).
## Solution
Store `DynamicSceneBuilder`'s entities in a `Vec` rather than a `HashMap`.
---
## Changelog
* Stablized entity order in `DynamicSceneBuilder` (0.9.0-dev)
# Objective
Bevy's internal plugins have lots of execution-order ambiguities, which makes the ambiguity detection tool very noisy for our users.
## Solution
Silence every last ambiguity that can currently be resolved.
Each time an ambiguity is silenced, it is accompanied by a comment describing why it is correct. This description should be based on the public API of the respective systems. Thus, I have added documentation to some systems describing how they use some resources.
# Future work
Some ambiguities remain, due to issues out of scope for this PR.
* The ambiguity checker does not respect `Without<>` filters, leading to false positives.
* Ambiguities between `bevy_ui` and `bevy_animation` cannot be resolved, since neither crate knows that the other exists. We will need a general solution to this problem.
# Objective
- Fixes#5876 .
## Solution
- added pub use statements to re-export the following traits in bevy_audio: rodio::source::Source, rodio::Sample, rodio::cpal::Sample.
- rodio::cpal::Sample was re-exported as CpalSample to avoid naming conflict with rodio::Sample.
# Objective
Currently scenes define components using a list:

However, this representation has some drawbacks (as pointed out by @Metadorius in [this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4561#issuecomment-1202215565) comment):
1. Increased nesting and more characters (minor effect on overall size)
2. More importantly, by definition, entities cannot have more than one instance of any given component. Therefore, such data is best stored as a map— where all values are meant to have unique keys.
## Solution
Change `components` to store a map of components rather than a list:
```rust
[
(
entity: 0,
components: {
"bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform": (
translation: (
x: 0.0,
y: 0.0,
z: 0.0
),
rotation: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0),
scale: (
x: 1.0,
y: 1.0,
z: 1.0
),
),
"my_crate::Foo": (
text: "Hello World",
),
"my_crate::Bar": (
baz: 123
),
},
),
]
```
#### Code Representation
This change only affects the scene format itself. `DynamicEntity` still stores its components as a list. The reason for this is that storing such data as a map is not really needed since:
1. The "key" of each value is easily found by just calling `Reflect::type_name` on it
2. We should be generating such structs using the `World` itself which upholds the one-component-per-entity rule
One could in theory create manually create a `DynamicEntity` with duplicate components, but this isn't something I think we should focus on in this PR. `DynamicEntity` can be broken in other ways (i.e. storing a non-component in the components list), and resolving its issues can be done in a separate PR.

## Changelog
* The scene format now uses a map to represent the collection of components rather than a list
## Migration Guide
The scene format now uses a map to represent the collection of components. Scene files will need to update from the old list format.

# Objective
Currently, Bevy only supports rendering to the current "surface texture format". This means that "render to texture" scenarios must use the exact format the primary window's surface uses, or Bevy will crash. This is even harder than it used to be now that we detect preferred surface formats at runtime instead of using hard coded BevyDefault values.
## Solution
1. Look up and store each window surface's texture format alongside other extracted window information
2. Specialize the upscaling pass on the current `RenderTarget`'s texture format, now that we can cheaply correlate render targets to their current texture format
3. Remove the old `SurfaceTextureFormat` and `AvailableTextureFormats`: these are now redundant with the information stored on each extracted window, and probably should not have been globals in the first place (as in theory each surface could have a different format).
This means you can now use any texture format you want when rendering to a texture! For example, changing the `render_to_texture` example to use `R16Float` now doesn't crash / properly only stores the red component:
Attempt to make features like bloom https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2876 easier to implement.
**This PR:**
- Moves the tonemapping from `pbr.wgsl` into a separate pass
- also add a separate upscaling pass after the tonemapping which writes to the swap chain (enables resolution-independant rendering and post-processing after tonemapping)
- adds a `hdr` bool to the camera which controls whether the pbr and sprite shaders render into a `Rgba16Float` texture
**Open questions:**
- ~should the 2d graph work the same as the 3d one?~ it is the same now
- ~The current solution is a bit inflexible because while you can add a post processing pass that writes to e.g. the `hdr_texture`, you can't write to a separate `user_postprocess_texture` while reading the `hdr_texture` and tell the tone mapping pass to read from the `user_postprocess_texture` instead. If the tonemapping and upscaling render graph nodes were to take in a `TextureView` instead of the view entity this would almost work, but the bind groups for their respective input textures are already created in the `Queue` render stage in the hardcoded order.~ solved by creating bind groups in render node

# Objective
Adds support for reflecting many more of the input types. This allows those types to be used via scripting, `bevy-inspector-egui`, etc. These types are registered by the `InputPlugin` so that they're automatically available to anyone who wants to use them
Closes#6223
## Solution
Many types now have `#[derive(Reflect, FromReflect)]` added to them in `bevy_input`. Additionally, `#[reflect(traits...)]` has been added for applicable traits to the types.
This PR does not add reflection support for types which have private fields. Notably, `Touch` and `Touches` don't implement `Reflect`/`FromReflect`.
This adds the "glam" feature to the `bevy_reflect` dependency for package `bevy_input`. Since `bevy_input` transitively depends on `glam` already, all this brings in are the reflection `impl`s.
## Migration Guide
- `Input<T>` now implements `Reflect` via `#[reflect]` instead of `#[reflect_value]`. This means it now exposes its private fields via the `Reflect` trait rather than being treated as a value type. For code that relies on the `Input<T>` struct being treated as a value type by reflection, it is still possible to wrap the `Input<T>` type with a wrapper struct and apply `#[reflect_value]` to it.
- As a reminder, private fields exposed via reflection are not subject to any stability guarantees.
---
## Changelog
Added
- Implemented `Reflect` + `FromReflect` for many input-related types. These types are automatically registered when adding the `InputPlugin`.
# Objective
- Proactive changing of code to comply with warnings generated by beta of rustlang version of cargo clippy.
## Solution
- Code changed as recommended by `rustup update`, `rustup default beta`, `cargo run -p ci -- clippy`.
- Tested using `beta` and `stable`. No clippy warnings in either after changes made.
---
## Changelog
- Warnings fixed were: `clippy::explicit-auto-deref` (present in 11 files), `clippy::needless-borrow` (present in 2 files), and `clippy::only-used-in-recursion` (only 1 file).
# Objective
- Some tests are very flaky on a m1
- m1 currently have a 41 ns precision
## Solution
- Do not run tests that compare a `Duration` or a `f64` on a m1 (and m2)
# Objective
- Make the settings of plugins readable during app building
## Solution
- Added a vector of added plugins to the app. Their settings can be accessed as read only
