# Objective
Fix a performance regression in the "[bevy vs
pixi](https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/bevy-vs-pixi)" benchmark.
This benchmark seems to have a slightly pathological distribution of `z`
values -- Sprites are spawned with a random `z` value with a child
sprite at `f32::EPSILON` relative to the parent.
See discussion here:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8100#issuecomment-1726978633
## Solution
Use `radsort` for sorting `Transparent2d` `PhaseItem`s.
Use random `z` values in bevymark to stress the phase sort. Add an
`--ordered-z` option to `bevymark` that uses the old behavior.

| bevy-vs-pixi | 39.71 | 59.88 | 🟩 +50.1% |
## Discussion
It's possible that `TransparentUi` should also change. We could probably
use `slice::sort_unstable_by_key` with the current sort key though, as
its items are always sorted and unique. I'd prefer to follow up later to
look into that.
Here's a survey of sorts used by other `PhaseItem`s
#### slice::sort_by_key
`Transparent2d`, `TransparentUi`
#### radsort
`Opaque3d`, `AlphaMask3d`, `Transparent3d`, `Opaque3dPrepass`,
`AlphaMask3dPrepass`, `Shadow`
I also tried `slice::sort_unstable_by_key` with a compound sort key
including `Entity`, but it didn't seem as promising and I didn't test it
as thoroughly.

# Objective
Make `bevy_ui` "root" nodes more intuitive to use/style by:
- Removing the implicit flexbox styling (such as stretch alignment) that
is applied to them, and replacing it with more intuitive CSS Grid
styling (notably with stretch alignment disabled in both axes).
- Making root nodes layout independently of each other. Instead of there
being a single implicit "viewport" node that all root nodes are children
of, there is now an implicit "viewport" node *per root node*. And layout
of each tree is computed separately.
## Solution
- Remove the global implicit viewport node, and instead create an
implicit viewport node for each user-specified root node.
- Keep track of both the user-specified root nodes and the implicit
viewport nodes in a separate `Vec`.
- Use the window's size as the `available_space` parameter to
`Taffy.compute_layout` rather than setting it on the implicit viewport
node (and set the viewport to `height: 100%; width: 100%` to make this
"just work").
---
## Changelog
- Bevy UI now lays out root nodes independently of each other in
separate layout contexts.
- The implicit viewport node (which contains each user-specified root
node) is now `Display::Grid` with `align_items` and `justify_items` both
set to `Start`.
## Migration Guide
- Bevy UI now lays out root nodes independently of each other in
separate layout contexts. If you were relying on your root nodes being
able to affect each other's layouts, then you may need to wrap them in a
single root node.
- The implicit viewport node (which contains each user-specified root
node) is now `Display::Grid` with `align_items` and `justify_items` both
set to `Start`. You may need to add `height: Val::Percent(100.)` to your
root nodes if you were previously relying on being implicitly set.
# Objective
`many_buttons` enhancements:
* use `argh` to manage the commandline arguments like the other stress
tests
* add an option to set the number of buttons
* add a grid layout option
* centre the grid properly
* use viewport coords for the layout's style constraints
* replace use of absolute positioning
includes the changes from #9636
Displaying an image isn't actually about stress testing image rendering.
Without a second texture (the first is used by the text) the entire grid
will be drawn in a single batch. The extra texture used by the image
forces the renderer to break up the batches at every button displaying
an image, where it has to switch between the font atlas texture and the
image texture.

## Changelog
`many_buttons` stress test example enhancements:
* uses `argh` to the manage the commandline arguments.
* New commandline args:
- `--help` display info & list all commandline options
- `--buttons` set the number of buttons.
- `--image-freq` set the frequency of buttons displaying images
- `--grid` use a grid layout
* style constraints are specified in viewport coords insead of
percentage values
* margins and nested bundles are used to construct the layout, instead
of absolute positioning
* the button grid centered in the window, the empty gap along the bottom
and right is removed
* an image is drawn as the background to every Nth button where N is set
using the `--image-freq` commandline option.

# Objective
- In preparation for an initial 2D/3D mesh batching/instancing PR,
enhance `bevymark` to support some different test modes that enable
comparison and optimisation of performance
## Solution
- Use `argh` for command line interface options
- Use seeded `StdRng` for reproducible random number generation
- Add a mode for testing 2D meshes that includes an option to uniquely
vary the data of each material by setting a random flat colour on the
`ColorMaterial`.
- Add a way of specifying the number of different textures to use for
sprites or meshes. These are generated at the same resolution as the
Bevy bird icon, but are just random flat colours for testing.
- Add a benchmark mode that spawns all entities during setup, and
animates the entities using a fixed delta time for reproducible
animation. The initially-spawned entities are still spawned in waves and
animated as they would have been had they spawned at intervals.

# Objective
- Make `many_cubes` suitable for testing various parts of the upcoming
batching work.
## Solution
- Use `argh` for CLI.
- Default to the sphere layout as it is more useful for benchmarking.
- Add a benchmark mode that advances the camera by a fixed step to
render the same frames across runs.
- Add an option to vary the material data per-instance. The color is
randomized.
- Add an option to generate a number of textures and randomly choose one
per instance.
- Use seeded `StdRng` for deterministic random numbers.
# Objective
Fix#8267.
Fixes half of #7840.
The `ComputedVisibility` component contains two flags: hierarchy
visibility, and view visibility (whether its visible to any cameras).
Due to the modular and open-ended way that view visibility is computed,
it triggers change detection every single frame, even when the value
does not change. Since hierarchy visibility is stored in the same
component as view visibility, this means that change detection for
inherited visibility is completely broken.
At the company I work for, this has become a real issue. We are using
change detection to only re-render scenes when necessary. The broken
state of change detection for computed visibility means that we have to
to rely on the non-inherited `Visibility` component for now. This is
workable in the early stages of our project, but since we will
inevitably want to use the hierarchy, we will have to either:
1. Roll our own solution for computed visibility.
2. Fix the issue for everyone.
## Solution
Split the `ComputedVisibility` component into two: `InheritedVisibilty`
and `ViewVisibility`.
This allows change detection to behave properly for
`InheritedVisibility`.
View visiblity is still erratic, although it is less useful to be able
to detect changes
for this flavor of visibility.
Overall, this actually simplifies the API. Since the visibility system
consists of
self-explaining components, it is much easier to document the behavior
and usage.
This approach is more modular and "ECS-like" -- one could
strip out the `ViewVisibility` component entirely if it's not needed,
and rely only on inherited visibility.
---
## Changelog
- `ComputedVisibility` has been removed in favor of:
`InheritedVisibility` and `ViewVisiblity`.
## Migration Guide
The `ComputedVisibilty` component has been split into
`InheritedVisiblity` and
`ViewVisibility`. Replace any usages of
`ComputedVisibility::is_visible_in_hierarchy`
with `InheritedVisibility::get`, and replace
`ComputedVisibility::is_visible_in_view`
with `ViewVisibility::get`.
```rust
// Before:
commands.spawn(VisibilityBundle {
visibility: Visibility::Inherited,
computed_visibility: ComputedVisibility::default(),
});
// After:
commands.spawn(VisibilityBundle {
visibility: Visibility::Inherited,
inherited_visibility: InheritedVisibility::default(),
view_visibility: ViewVisibility::default(),
});
```
```rust
// Before:
fn my_system(q: Query<&ComputedVisibilty>) {
for vis in &q {
if vis.is_visible_in_hierarchy() {
// After:
fn my_system(q: Query<&InheritedVisibility>) {
for inherited_visibility in &q {
if inherited_visibility.get() {
```
```rust
// Before:
fn my_system(q: Query<&ComputedVisibilty>) {
for vis in &q {
if vis.is_visible_in_view() {
// After:
fn my_system(q: Query<&ViewVisibility>) {
for view_visibility in &q {
if view_visibility.get() {
```
```rust
// Before:
fn my_system(mut q: Query<&mut ComputedVisibilty>) {
for vis in &mut q {
vis.set_visible_in_view();
// After:
fn my_system(mut q: Query<&mut ViewVisibility>) {
for view_visibility in &mut q {
view_visibility.set();
```

# Objective
Added `AnimationPlayer` API UX improvements.
- Succestor to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/5912
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/5848
_(Credits to @asafigan for filing #5848, creating the initial pull
request, and the discussion in #5912)_
## Solution
- Created `RepeatAnimation` enum to describe an animation repetition
behavior.
- Added `is_finished()`, `set_repeat()`, and `is_playback_reversed()`
methods to the animation player.
- ~~Made the animation clip optional as per the comment from #5912~~
> ~~My problem is that the default handle [used the initialize a
`PlayingAnimation`] could actually refer to an actual animation if an
AnimationClip is set for the default handle, which leads me to ask,
"Should animation_clip should be an Option?"~~
- Added an accessor for the animation clip `animation_clip()` to the
animation player.
To determine if an animation is finished, we use the number of times the
animation has completed and the repetition behavior. If the animation is
playing in reverse then `elapsed < 0.0` counts as a completion.
Otherwise, `elapsed > animation.duration` counts as a completion. This
is what I would expect, personally. If there's any ambiguity, perhaps we
could add some `AnimationCompletionBehavior`, to specify that kind of
completion behavior to use.
Update: Previously `PlayingAnimation::elapsed` was being used as the
seek time into the animation clip. This was misleading because if you
increased the speed of the animation it would also increase (or
decrease) the elapsed time. In other words, the elapsed time was not
actually the elapsed time. To solve this, we introduce
`PlayingAnimation::seek_time` to serve as the value we manipulate the
move between keyframes. Consequently, `elapsed()` now returns the actual
elapsed time, and is not effected by the animation speed. Because
`set_elapsed` was being used to manipulate the displayed keyframe, we
introduce `AnimationPlayer::seek_to` and `AnimationPlayer::replay` to
provide this functionality.
## Migration Guide
- Removed `set_elapsed`.
- Removed `stop_repeating` in favour of
`AnimationPlayer::set_repeat(RepeatAnimation::Never)`.
- Introduced `seek_to` to seek to a given timestamp inside of the
animation.
- Introduced `seek_time` accessor for the `PlayingAnimation::seek_to`.
- Introduced `AnimationPlayer::replay` to reset the `PlayingAnimation`
to a state where no time has elapsed.

# Objective
[Rust 1.72.0](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/08/24/Rust-1.72.0.html) is
now stable.
# Notes
- `let-else` formatting has arrived!
- I chose to allow `explicit_iter_loop` due to
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/11074.
We didn't hit any of the false positives that prevent compilation, but
fixing this did produce a lot of the "symbol soup" mentioned, e.g. `for
image in &mut *image_events {`.
Happy to undo this if there's consensus the other way.

# Objective
- Better consistency with `add_systems`.
- Deprecating `add_plugin` in favor of a more powerful `add_plugins`.
- Allow passing `Plugin` to `add_plugins`.
- Allow passing tuples to `add_plugins`.
## Solution
- `App::add_plugins` now takes an `impl Plugins` parameter.
- `App::add_plugin` is deprecated.
- `Plugins` is a new sealed trait that is only implemented for `Plugin`,
`PluginGroup` and tuples over `Plugins`.
- All examples, benchmarks and tests are changed to use `add_plugins`,
using tuples where appropriate.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- `App::add_plugins` now accepts all types that implement `Plugins`,
which is implemented for:
- Types that implement `Plugin`.
- Types that implement `PluginGroup`.
- Tuples (up to 16 elements) over types that implement `Plugins`.
- Deprecated `App::add_plugin` in favor of `App::add_plugins`.
## Migration Guide
- Replace `app.add_plugin(plugin)` calls with `app.add_plugins(plugin)`.

# Objective
I was trying to add some `Diagnostics` to have a better break down of
performance but I noticed that the current implementation uses a
`ResMut` which forces the functions to all run sequentially whereas
before they could run in parallel. This created too great a performance
penalty to be usable.
## Solution
This PR reworks how the diagnostics work with a couple of breaking
changes. The idea is to change how `Diagnostics` works by changing it to
a `SystemParam`. This allows us to hold a `Deferred` buffer of
measurements that can be applied later, avoiding the need for multiple
mutable references to the hashmap. This means we can run systems that
write diagnostic measurements in parallel.
Firstly, we rename the old `Diagnostics` to `DiagnosticsStore`. This
clears up the original name for the new interface while allowing us to
preserve more closely the original API.
Then we create a new `Diagnostics` struct which implements `SystemParam`
and contains a deferred `SystemBuffer`. This can be used very similar to
the old `Diagnostics` for writing new measurements.
```rust
fn system(diagnostics: ResMut<Diagnostics>) { diagnostics.new_measurement(ID, || 10.0)}
// changes to
fn system(mut diagnostics: Diagnostics) { diagnostics.new_measurement(ID, || 10.0)}
```
For reading the diagnostics, the user needs to change from `Diagnostics`
to `DiagnosticsStore` but otherwise the function calls are the same.
Finally, we add a new method to the `App` for registering diagnostics.
This replaces the old method of creating a startup system and adding it
manually.
Testing it, this PR does indeed allow Diagnostic systems to be run in
parallel.
## Changelog
- Change `Diagnostics` to implement `SystemParam` which allows
diagnostic systems to run in parallel.
## Migration Guide
- Register `Diagnostic`'s using the new
`app.register_diagnostic(Diagnostic::new(DIAGNOSTIC_ID,
"diagnostic_name", 10));`
- In systems for writing new measurements, change `mut diagnostics:
ResMut<Diagnostics>` to `mut diagnostics: Diagnostics` to allow the
systems to run in parallel.
- In systems for reading measurements, change `diagnostics:
Res<Diagnostics>` to `diagnostics: Res<DiagnosticsStore>`.
# Objective
- fix clippy lints early to make sure CI doesn't break when they get
promoted to stable
- have a noise-free `clippy` experience for nightly users
## Solution
- `cargo clippy --fix`
- replace `filter_map(|x| x.ok())` with `map_while(|x| x.ok())` to fix
potential infinite loop in case of IO error
# Objective
Fix the examples many_buttons and many_glyphs not working on the WebGPU
examples page. Currently they both fail with the follow error:
```
panicked at 'Only FIFO/Auto* is supported on web', ..../wgpu-0.16.0/src/backend/web.rs:1162:13
```
## Solution
Change `present_mode` from `PresentMode::Immediate` to
`PresentMode::AutoNoVsync`. AutoNoVsync seems to be common mode used by
other examples of this kind.
# Objective
- Simplify API and make authoring styles easier
See:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/8540#issuecomment-1536177102
## Solution
- The `size`, `min_size`, `max_size`, and `gap` properties have been
replaced by `width`, `height`, `min_width`, `min_height`, `max_width`,
`max_height`, `row_gap`, and `column_gap` properties
---
## Changelog
- Flattened `Style` properties that have a `Size` value directly into
`Style`
## Migration Guide
- The `size`, `min_size`, `max_size`, and `gap` properties have been
replaced by the `width`, `height`, `min_width`, `min_height`,
`max_width`, `max_height`, `row_gap`, and `column_gap` properties. Use
the new properties instead.

## Changelog
* If you display text without using the default handle provided by
`TextStyle`, the text will be displayed
# Objective
In the
[`Text`](3442a13d2c/crates/bevy_text/src/text.rs (L18))
struct the field is named: `linebreak_behaviour`, the British spelling
of _behavior_.
**Update**, also found:
- `FileDragAndDrop::HoveredFileCancelled`
- `TouchPhase::Cancelled`
- `Touches.just_cancelled`
The majority of all spelling is in the US but when you have a lot of
contributors across the world, sometimes
spelling differences can pop up in APIs such as in this case.
For consistency, I think it would be worth a while to ensure that the
API is persistent.
Some examples:
`from_reflect.rs` has `DefaultBehavior`
TextStyle has `color` and uses the `Color` struct.
In `bevy_input/src/Touch.rs` `TouchPhase::Cancelled` and _canceled_ are
used interchangeably in the documentation
I've found that there is also the same type of discrepancies in the
documentation, though this is a low priority but is worth checking.
**Update**: I've now checked the documentation (See #8291)
## Solution
I've only renamed the inconsistencies that have breaking changes and
documentation pertaining to them. The rest of the documentation will be
changed via #8291.
Do note that the winit API is written with UK spelling, thus this may be
a cause for confusion:
`winit::event::TouchPhase::Cancelled => TouchPhase::Canceled`
`winit::event::WindowEvent::HoveredFileCancelled` -> Related to
`FileDragAndDrop::HoveredFileCanceled`
But I'm hoping to maybe outline other spelling inconsistencies in the
API, and maybe an addition to the contribution guide.

## Changelog
- `Text` field `linebreak_behaviour` has been renamed to

- Function `Touches.just_cancelled` has been renamed to
`Touches.just_canceled`
- Event `TouchPhase::Cancelled` has been renamed to

Updated the event `FileDragAndDrop::HoveredFileCancelled` where used to
`HoveredFileCanceled`
Update `Touches.just_cancelled` where used as `Touches.just_canceled`

# Objective
Simple text pipeline benchmark. It's quite expensive but current examples don't capture the performance of `queue_text` as it only runs on changes to the text.
# Objective
Support the following syntax for adding systems:
```rust
App::new()
.add_system(setup.on_startup())
.add_systems((
show_menu.in_schedule(OnEnter(GameState::Paused)),
menu_ssytem.in_set(OnUpdate(GameState::Paused)),
hide_menu.in_schedule(OnExit(GameState::Paused)),
))
```
## Solution
Add the traits `IntoSystemAppConfig{s}`, which provide the extension methods necessary for configuring which schedule a system belongs to. These extension methods return `IntoSystemAppConfig{s}`, which `App::add_system{s}` uses to choose which schedule to add systems to.
---
## Changelog
+ Added the extension methods `in_schedule(label)` and `on_startup()` for configuring the schedule a system belongs to.
## Future Work
* Replace all uses of `add_startup_system` in the engine.
* Deprecate this method
# Objective
Fixes#7735
## Solution
Use `spawn_batch` instead of `spawn` repeatedly in a for loop
I have decided to switch from using rands `thread_rng()` to its `StdRng`, this allows us to avoid calling `collect()` on the bundle iterator, if collecting is fine then I can revert it back to using `thread_rng()`.
# Objective
There was issue #191 requesting subdivisions on the shape::Plane.
I also could have used this recently. I then write the solution.
Fixes #191
## Solution
I changed the shape::Plane to include subdivisions field and the code to create the subdivisions. I don't know how people are counting subdivisions so as I put in the doc comments 0 subdivisions results in the original geometry of the Plane.
Greater then 0 results in the number of lines dividing the plane.
I didn't know if it would be better to create a new struct that implemented this feature, say SubdivisionPlane or change Plane. I decided on changing Plane as that was what the original issue was.
It would be trivial to alter this to use another struct instead of altering Plane.
The issues of migration, although small, would be eliminated if a new struct was implemented.
## Changelog
### Added
Added subdivisions field to shape::Plane
## Migration Guide
All the examples needed to be updated to initalize the subdivisions field.
Also there were two tests in tests/window that need to be updated.
A user would have to update all their uses of shape::Plane to initalize the subdivisions field.
# Objective
NOTE: This depends on #7267 and should not be merged until #7267 is merged. If you are reviewing this before that is merged, I highly recommend viewing the Base Sets commit instead of trying to find my changes amongst those from #7267.
"Default sets" as described by the [Stageless RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/45) have some [unfortunate consequences](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/7365).
## Solution
This adds "base sets" as a variant of `SystemSet`:
A set is a "base set" if `SystemSet::is_base` returns `true`. Typically this will be opted-in to using the `SystemSet` derive:
```rust
#[derive(SystemSet, Clone, Hash, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
#[system_set(base)]
enum MyBaseSet {
A,
B,
}
```
**Base sets are exclusive**: a system can belong to at most one "base set". Adding a system to more than one will result in an error. When possible we fail immediately during system-config-time with a nice file + line number. For the more nested graph-ey cases, this will fail at the final schedule build.
**Base sets cannot belong to other sets**: this is where the word "base" comes from
Systems and Sets can only be added to base sets using `in_base_set`. Calling `in_set` with a base set will fail. As will calling `in_base_set` with a normal set.
```rust
app.add_system(foo.in_base_set(MyBaseSet::A))
// X must be a normal set ... base sets cannot be added to base sets
.configure_set(X.in_base_set(MyBaseSet::A))
```
Base sets can still be configured like normal sets:
```rust
app.add_system(MyBaseSet::B.after(MyBaseSet::Ap))
```
The primary use case for base sets is enabling a "default base set":
```rust
schedule.set_default_base_set(CoreSet::Update)
// this will belong to CoreSet::Update by default
.add_system(foo)
// this will override the default base set with PostUpdate
.add_system(bar.in_base_set(CoreSet::PostUpdate))
```
This allows us to build apis that work by default in the standard Bevy style. This is a rough analog to the "default stage" model, but it use the new "stageless sets" model instead, with all of the ordering flexibility (including exclusive systems) that it provides.
---
## Changelog
- Added "base sets" and ported CoreSet to use them.

## Changelog
### Added
- a large number of methods on `App` to work with schedules ergonomically
- the `CoreSchedule` enum
- `App::add_extract_system` via the `RenderingAppExtension` trait extension method
- the private `prepare_view_uniforms` system now has a public system set for scheduling purposes, called `ViewSet::PrepareUniforms`
### Removed
- stages, and all code that mentions stages
- states have been dramatically simplified, and no longer use a stack
- `RunCriteriaLabel`
- `AsSystemLabel` trait
- `on_hierarchy_reports_enabled` run criteria (now just uses an ad hoc resource checking run condition)
- systems in `RenderSet/Stage::Extract` no longer warn when they do not read data from the main world
- `RunCriteriaLabel`
- `transform_propagate_system_set`: this was a nonstandard pattern that didn't actually provide enough control. The systems are already `pub`: the docs have been updated to ensure that the third-party usage is clear.
### Changed
- `System::default_labels` is now `System::default_system_sets`.
- `App::add_default_labels` is now `App::add_default_sets`
- `CoreStage` and `StartupStage` enums are now `CoreSet` and `StartupSet`
- `App::add_system_set` was renamed to `App::add_systems`
- The `StartupSchedule` label is now defined as part of the `CoreSchedules` enum
- `.label(SystemLabel)` is now referred to as `.in_set(SystemSet)`
- `SystemLabel` trait was replaced by `SystemSet`
- `SystemTypeIdLabel<T>` was replaced by `SystemSetType<T>`
- The `ReportHierarchyIssue` resource now has a public constructor (`new`), and implements `PartialEq`
- Fixed time steps now use a schedule (`CoreSchedule::FixedTimeStep`) rather than a run criteria.
- Adding rendering extraction systems now panics rather than silently failing if no subapp with the `RenderApp` label is found.
- the `calculate_bounds` system, with the `CalculateBounds` label, is now in `CoreSet::Update`, rather than in `CoreSet::PostUpdate` before commands are applied.
- `SceneSpawnerSystem` now runs under `CoreSet::Update`, rather than `CoreStage::PreUpdate.at_end()`.
- `bevy_pbr::add_clusters` is no longer an exclusive system
- the top level `bevy_ecs::schedule` module was replaced with `bevy_ecs::scheduling`
- `tick_global_task_pools_on_main_thread` is no longer run as an exclusive system. Instead, it has been replaced by `tick_global_task_pools`, which uses a `NonSend` resource to force running on the main thread.
## Migration Guide
- Calls to `.label(MyLabel)` should be replaced with `.in_set(MySet)`
- Stages have been removed. Replace these with system sets, and then add command flushes using the `apply_system_buffers` exclusive system where needed.
- The `CoreStage`, `StartupStage, `RenderStage` and `AssetStage` enums have been replaced with `CoreSet`, `StartupSet, `RenderSet` and `AssetSet`. The same scheduling guarantees have been preserved.
- Systems are no longer added to `CoreSet::Update` by default. Add systems manually if this behavior is needed, although you should consider adding your game logic systems to `CoreSchedule::FixedTimestep` instead for more reliable framerate-independent behavior.
- Similarly, startup systems are no longer part of `StartupSet::Startup` by default. In most cases, this won't matter to you.
- For example, `add_system_to_stage(CoreStage::PostUpdate, my_system)` should be replaced with
- `add_system(my_system.in_set(CoreSet::PostUpdate)`
- When testing systems or otherwise running them in a headless fashion, simply construct and run a schedule using `Schedule::new()` and `World::run_schedule` rather than constructing stages
- Run criteria have been renamed to run conditions. These can now be combined with each other and with states.
- Looping run criteria and state stacks have been removed. Use an exclusive system that runs a schedule if you need this level of control over system control flow.
- For app-level control flow over which schedules get run when (such as for rollback networking), create your own schedule and insert it under the `CoreSchedule::Outer` label.
- Fixed timesteps are now evaluated in a schedule, rather than controlled via run criteria. The `run_fixed_timestep` system runs this schedule between `CoreSet::First` and `CoreSet::PreUpdate` by default.
- Command flush points introduced by `AssetStage` have been removed. If you were relying on these, add them back manually.
- Adding extract systems is now typically done directly on the main app. Make sure the `RenderingAppExtension` trait is in scope, then call `app.add_extract_system(my_system)`.
- the `calculate_bounds` system, with the `CalculateBounds` label, is now in `CoreSet::Update`, rather than in `CoreSet::PostUpdate` before commands are applied. You may need to order your movement systems to occur before this system in order to avoid system order ambiguities in culling behavior.
- the `RenderLabel` `AppLabel` was renamed to `RenderApp` for clarity
- `App::add_state` now takes 0 arguments: the starting state is set based on the `Default` impl.
- Instead of creating `SystemSet` containers for systems that run in stages, simply use `.on_enter::<State::Variant>()` or its `on_exit` or `on_update` siblings.
- `SystemLabel` derives should be replaced with `SystemSet`. You will also need to add the `Debug`, `PartialEq`, `Eq`, and `Hash` traits to satisfy the new trait bounds.
- `with_run_criteria` has been renamed to `run_if`. Run criteria have been renamed to run conditions for clarity, and should now simply return a bool.
- States have been dramatically simplified: there is no longer a "state stack". To queue a transition to the next state, call `NextState::set`

## Points of Difficulty and Controversy
**Reviewers, please give feedback on these and look closely**
1. Default sets, from the RFC, have been removed. These added a tremendous amount of implicit complexity and result in hard to debug scheduling errors. They're going to be tackled in the form of "base sets" by @cart in a followup.
2. The outer schedule controls which schedule is run when `App::update` is called.
3. I implemented `Label for `Box<dyn Label>` for our label types. This enables us to store schedule labels in concrete form, and then later run them. I ran into the same set of problems when working with one-shot systems. We've previously investigated this pattern in depth, and it does not appear to lead to extra indirection with nested boxes.
4. `SubApp::update` simply runs the default schedule once. This sucks, but this whole API is incomplete and this was the minimal changeset.
5. `time_system` and `tick_global_task_pools_on_main_thread` no longer use exclusive systems to attempt to force scheduling order
6. Implemetnation strategy for fixed timesteps
7. `AssetStage` was migrated to `AssetSet` without reintroducing command flush points. These did not appear to be used, and it's nice to remove these bottlenecks.
8. Migration of `bevy_render/lib.rs` and pipelined rendering. The logic here is unusually tricky, as we have complex scheduling requirements.
## Future Work (ideally before 0.10)
- Rename schedule_v3 module to schedule or scheduling
- Add a derive macro to states, and likely a `EnumIter` trait of some form
- Figure out what exactly to do with the "systems added should basically work by default" problem
- Improve ergonomics for working with fixed timesteps and states
- Polish FixedTime API to match Time
- Rebase and merge #7415
- Resolve all internal ambiguities (blocked on better tools, especially #7442)
- Add "base sets" to replace the removed default sets.
# Objective
- Improve ergonomics / documentation of cascaded shadow maps
- Allow for the customization of the nearest shadowing distance.
- Fixes#7393
- Fixes#7362
## Solution
- Introduce `CascadeShadowConfigBuilder`
- Tweak various example cascade settings for better quality.
---
## Changelog
- Made examples look nicer under cascaded shadow maps.
- Introduce `CascadeShadowConfigBuilder` to help with creating `CascadeShadowConfig`
## Migration Guide
- Configure settings for cascaded shadow maps for directional lights using the newly introduced `CascadeShadowConfigBuilder`.

Since the new renderer, no frustum culling is applied to 2d components
(be it Sprite or Mesh2d), the stress_tests docs is therefore misleading
and should be updated.
Furthermore, the `many_animated_sprites` example, unlike `many_sprites`
kept vsync enabled, making the stress test less useful than it could be.
We now disable vsync for `many_animated_sprites`.
Also, `many_animated_sprites` didn't have the stress_tests warning
message, instead, it had a paragraph in the module doc. I replaced the
module doc paragraph by the warning message, to be more in line with
other examples.
## Solution
- Remove the paragraph about frustum culling in the `many_sprites`
and `many_animated_sprites` stress tests
# Objective
Shadows are broken on many_foxes on AMD GPUs. This seems to be due to rounding or floating point precision issues combined with the absolute unit of a plane that it's currently using.
Related: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6542
I'm not sure if we want to close that issue, as there's still the underlying issue of shadows breaking on overly large planes.
## Solution
Make the plane smaller.
# Objective
Fix https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4530
- Make it easier to open/close/modify windows by setting them up as `Entity`s with a `Window` component.
- Make multiple windows very simple to set up. (just add a `Window` component to an entity and it should open)
## Solution
- Move all properties of window descriptor to ~components~ a component.
- Replace `WindowId` with `Entity`.
- ~Use change detection for components to update backend rather than events/commands. (The `CursorMoved`/`WindowResized`/... events are kept for user convenience.~
Check each field individually to see what we need to update, events are still kept for user convenience.
---
## Changelog
- `WindowDescriptor` renamed to `Window`.
- Width/height consolidated into a `WindowResolution` component.
- Requesting maximization/minimization is done on the [`Window::state`] field.
- `WindowId` is now `Entity`.
## Migration Guide
- Replace `WindowDescriptor` with `Window`.
- Change `width` and `height` fields in a `WindowResolution`, either by doing
```rust
WindowResolution::new(width, height) // Explicitly
// or using From<_> for tuples for convenience
(1920., 1080.).into()
```
- Replace any `WindowCommand` code to just modify the `Window`'s fields directly and creating/closing windows is now by spawning/despawning an entity with a `Window` component like so:
```rust
let window = commands.spawn(Window { ... }).id(); // open window
commands.entity(window).despawn(); // close window
```
## Unresolved
- ~How do we tell when a window is minimized by a user?~
~Currently using the `Resize(0, 0)` as an indicator of minimization.~
No longer attempting to tell given how finnicky this was across platforms, now the user can only request that a window be maximized/minimized.
## Future work
- Move `exit_on_close` functionality out from windowing and into app(?)

# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/6338
This PR allows for smooth transitions between different animations.
## Solution
- This PR uses very simple linear blending of animations.
- When starting a new animation, you can give it a duration, and throughout that duration, the previous and the new animation are being linearly blended, until only the new animation is running.
- I'm aware of https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/49 and https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/51, which are more complete solutions to this problem, but they seem still far from being implemented. Until they're ready, this PR allows for the most basic use case of blending, i.e. smoothly transitioning between different animations.
## Migration Guide
- no bc breaking changes
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
This adds a custom profile for testing against stress tests. Bevy seemingly gets notably faster with LTO turned on. To more accurately depict production level performance, LTO and other rustc-level optimizations should be enabled when performance testing on stress tests.
Also updated the stress test docs to reflect that users should be using it.
# 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
Fixes#5884#2879
Alternative to #2988#5885#2886
"Immutable" Plugin settings are currently represented as normal ECS resources, which are read as part of plugin init. This presents a number of problems:
1. If a user inserts the plugin settings resource after the plugin is initialized, it will be silently ignored (and use the defaults instead)
2. Users can modify the plugin settings resource after the plugin has been initialized. This creates a false sense of control over settings that can no longer be changed.
(1) and (2) are especially problematic and confusing for the `WindowDescriptor` resource, but this is a general problem.
## Solution
Immutable Plugin settings now live on each Plugin struct (ex: `WindowPlugin`). PluginGroups have been reworked to support overriding plugin values. This also removes the need for the `add_plugins_with` api, as the `add_plugins` api can use the builder pattern directly. Settings that can be used at runtime continue to be represented as ECS resources.
Plugins are now configured like this:
```rust
app.add_plugin(AssetPlugin {
watch_for_changes: true,
..default()
})
```
PluginGroups are now configured like this:
```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins
.set(AssetPlugin {
watch_for_changes: true,
..default()
})
)
```
This is an alternative to #2988, which is similar. But I personally prefer this solution for a couple of reasons:
* ~~#2988 doesn't solve (1)~~ #2988 does solve (1) and will panic in that case. I was wrong!
* This PR directly ties plugin settings to Plugin types in a 1:1 relationship, rather than a loose "setup resource" <-> plugin coupling (where the setup resource is consumed by the first plugin that uses it).
* I'm not a huge fan of overloading the ECS resource concept and implementation for something that has very different use cases and constraints.
## Changelog
- PluginGroups can now be configured directly using the builder pattern. Individual plugin values can be overridden by using `plugin_group.set(SomePlugin {})`, which enables overriding default plugin values.
- `WindowDescriptor` plugin settings have been moved to `WindowPlugin` and `AssetServerSettings` have been moved to `AssetPlugin`
- `app.add_plugins_with` has been replaced by using `add_plugins` with the builder pattern.
## Migration Guide
The `WindowDescriptor` settings have been moved from a resource to `WindowPlugin::window`:
```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app
.insert_resource(WindowDescriptor {
width: 400.0,
..default()
})
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(WindowPlugin {
window: WindowDescriptor {
width: 400.0,
..default()
},
..default()
}))
```
The `AssetServerSettings` resource has been removed in favor of direct `AssetPlugin` configuration:
```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app
.insert_resource(AssetServerSettings {
watch_for_changes: true,
..default()
})
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin {
watch_for_changes: true,
..default()
}))
```
`add_plugins_with` has been replaced by `add_plugins` in combination with the builder pattern:
```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app.add_plugins_with(DefaultPlugins, |group| group.disable::<AssetPlugin>());
// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.build().disable::<AssetPlugin>());
```
# Objective
- Add Time-Adjusted Rolling EMA-based smoothing to diagnostics.
- Closes#4983; see that issue for more more information.
## Terms
- EMA - [Exponential Moving Average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Exponential_moving_average)
- SMA - [Simple Moving Average](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average#Simple_moving_average)
## Solution
- We use a fairly standard approximation of a true EMA where $EMA_{\text{frame}} = EMA_{\text{previous}} + \alpha \left( x_{\text{frame}} - EMA_{\text{previous}} \right)$ where $\alpha = \Delta t / \tau$ and $\tau$ is an arbitrary smoothness factor. (See #4983 for more discussion of the math.)
- The smoothness factor is here defaulted to $2 / 21$; this was chosen fairly arbitrarily as supposedly related to the existing 20-bucket SMA.
- The smoothness factor can be set on a per-diagnostic basis via `Diagnostic::with_smoothing_factor`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `Diagnostic::smoothed` - provides an exponentially smoothed view of a recorded diagnostic, to e.g. reduce jitter in frametime readings.
### Changed
- `LogDiagnosticsPlugin` now records the smoothed value rather than the raw value.
- For diagnostics recorded less often than every 0.1 seconds, this change to defaults will have no visible effect.
- For discrete diagnostics where this smoothing is not desirable, set a smoothing factor of 0 to disable smoothing.
- The average of the recent history is still shown when available.
As mentioned in #2926, it's better to have an explicit type that clearly communicates the intent of the timer mode rather than an opaque boolean, which can be only understood when knowing the signature or having to look up the documentation.
This also opens up a way to merge different timers, such as `Stopwatch`, and possibly future ones, such as `DiscreteStopwatch` and `DiscreteTimer` from #2683, into one struct.
Signed-off-by: Lena Milizé <me@lvmn.org>
# Objective
Fixes#2926.
## Solution
Introduce `TimerMode` which replaces the `bool` argument of `Timer` constructors. A `Default` value for `TimerMode` is `Once`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `TimerMode` enum, along with variants `TimerMode::Once` and `TimerMode::Repeating`
### Changed
- Replace `bool` argument of `Timer::new` and `Timer::from_seconds` with `TimerMode`
- Change `repeating: bool` field of `Timer` with `mode: TimerMode`
## Migration Guide
- Replace `Timer::new(duration, false)` with `Timer::new(duration, TimerMode::Once)`.
- Replace `Timer::new(duration, true)` with `Timer::new(duration, TimerMode::Repeating)`.
- Replace `Timer::from_seconds(seconds, false)` with `Timer::from_seconds(seconds, TimerMode::Once)`.
- Replace `Timer::from_seconds(seconds, true)` with `Timer::from_seconds(seconds, TimerMode::Repeating)`.
- Change `timer.repeating()` to `timer.mode() == TimerMode::Repeating`.
