# Objective
In the `queue_custom` system in `shader_instancing` example, the query of `material_meshes` has a redundant `With<Handle<Mesh>>` query filter because `Handle<Mesh>` is included in the component access.
## Solution
Remove the `With<Handle<Mesh>>` filter
# Objective
- Add an example showing a custom post processing effect, done after the first rendering pass.
## Solution
- A simple post processing "chromatic aberration" effect. I mixed together examples `3d/render_to_texture`, and `shader/shader_material_screenspace_texture`
- Reading a bit how https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3430 was done gave me pointers to apply the main pass to the 2d render rather than using a 3d quad.
This work might be or not be relevant to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/2724

<summary> ⚠️ Click for a video of the render ⚠️ I’ve been told it might hurt the eyes 👀 , maybe we should choose another effect just in case ?</summary>

# Request for feedbacks
- [ ] Is chromatic aberration effect ok ? (Correct term, not a danger for the eyes ?) I'm open to suggestion to make something different.
- [ ] Is the code idiomatic ? I preferred a "main camera -> **new camera with post processing applied to a quad**" approach to emulate minimum modification to existing code wanting to add global post processing.
---
## Changelog
- Add a full screen post processing shader example
# Objective
Users should be able to render cameras to specific areas of a render target, which enables scenarios like split screen, minimaps, etc.
Builds on the new Camera Driven Rendering added here: #4745Fixes: #202
Alternative to #1389 and #3626 (which are incompatible with the new Camera Driven Rendering)
## Solution
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/171560044-f0694f67-0cd9-4598-83e2-a9658c4fed57.png)
Cameras can now configure an optional "viewport", which defines a rectangle within their render target to draw to. If a `Viewport` is defined, the camera's `CameraProjection`, `View`, and visibility calculations will use the viewport configuration instead of the full render target.
```rust
// This camera will render to the first half of the primary window (on the left side).
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
camera: Camera {
viewport: Some(Viewport {
physical_position: UVec2::new(0, 0),
physical_size: UVec2::new(window.physical_width() / 2, window.physical_height()),
depth: 0.0..1.0,
}),
..default()
},
..default()
});
```
To account for this, the `Camera` component has received a few adjustments:
* `Camera` now has some new getter functions:
* `logical_viewport_size`, `physical_viewport_size`, `logical_target_size`, `physical_target_size`, `projection_matrix`
* All computed camera values are now private and live on the `ComputedCameraValues` field (logical/physical width/height, the projection matrix). They are now exposed on `Camera` via getters/setters This wasn't _needed_ for viewports, but it was long overdue.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* `Camera` components now have a `viewport` field, which can be set to draw to a portion of a render target instead of the full target.
* `Camera` component has some new functions: `logical_viewport_size`, `physical_viewport_size`, `logical_target_size`, `physical_target_size`, and `projection_matrix`
* Added a new split_screen example illustrating how to render two cameras to the same scene
## Migration Guide
`Camera::projection_matrix` is no longer a public field. Use the new `Camera::projection_matrix()` method instead:
```rust
// Bevy 0.7
let projection = camera.projection_matrix;
// Bevy 0.8
let projection = camera.projection_matrix();
```
# Objective
- To fix the broken commented code in `examples/shader/compute_shader_game_of_life.rs` for disabling frame throttling
## Solution
- Change the commented code from using the old `WindowDescriptor::vsync` to the new `WindowDescriptor::present_mode`
### Note
I chose to use the fully qualified scope `bevy:🪟:PresentWindow::Immediate` rather than explicitly including `PresentWindow` to avoid an unused import when the code is commented.
This adds "high level camera driven rendering" to Bevy. The goal is to give users more control over what gets rendered (and where) without needing to deal with render logic. This will make scenarios like "render to texture", "multiple windows", "split screen", "2d on 3d", "3d on 2d", "pass layering", and more significantly easier.
Here is an [example of a 2d render sandwiched between two 3d renders (each from a different perspective)](https://gist.github.com/cart/4fe56874b2e53bc5594a182fc76f4915):
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/168411086-af13dec8-0093-4a84-bdd4-d4362d850ffa.png)
Users can now spawn a camera, point it at a RenderTarget (a texture or a window), and it will "just work".
Rendering to a second window is as simple as spawning a second camera and assigning it to a specific window id:
```rust
// main camera (main window)
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle::default());
// second camera (other window)
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
camera: Camera {
target: RenderTarget::Window(window_id),
..default()
},
..default()
});
```
Rendering to a texture is as simple as pointing the camera at a texture:
```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
camera: Camera {
target: RenderTarget::Texture(image_handle),
..default()
},
..default()
});
```
Cameras now have a "render priority", which controls the order they are drawn in. If you want to use a camera's output texture as a texture in the main pass, just set the priority to a number lower than the main pass camera (which defaults to `0`).
```rust
// main pass camera with a default priority of 0
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle::default());
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
camera: Camera {
target: RenderTarget::Texture(image_handle.clone()),
priority: -1,
..default()
},
..default()
});
commands.spawn_bundle(SpriteBundle {
texture: image_handle,
..default()
})
```
Priority can also be used to layer to cameras on top of each other for the same RenderTarget. This is what "2d on top of 3d" looks like in the new system:
```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle::default());
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
camera: Camera {
// this will render 2d entities "on top" of the default 3d camera's render
priority: 1,
..default()
},
..default()
});
```
There is no longer the concept of a global "active camera". Resources like `ActiveCamera<Camera2d>` and `ActiveCamera<Camera3d>` have been replaced with the camera-specific `Camera::is_active` field. This does put the onus on users to manage which cameras should be active.
Cameras are now assigned a single render graph as an "entry point", which is configured on each camera entity using the new `CameraRenderGraph` component. The old `PerspectiveCameraBundle` and `OrthographicCameraBundle` (generic on camera marker components like Camera2d and Camera3d) have been replaced by `Camera3dBundle` and `Camera2dBundle`, which set 3d and 2d default values for the `CameraRenderGraph` and projections.
```rust
// old 3d perspective camera
commands.spawn_bundle(PerspectiveCameraBundle::default())
// new 3d perspective camera
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle::default())
```
```rust
// old 2d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(OrthographicCameraBundle::new_2d())
// new 2d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle::default())
```
```rust
// old 3d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(OrthographicCameraBundle::new_3d())
// new 3d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
projection: OrthographicProjection {
scale: 3.0,
scaling_mode: ScalingMode::FixedVertical,
..default()
}.into(),
..default()
})
```
Note that `Camera3dBundle` now uses a new `Projection` enum instead of hard coding the projection into the type. There are a number of motivators for this change: the render graph is now a part of the bundle, the way "generic bundles" work in the rust type system prevents nice `..default()` syntax, and changing projections at runtime is much easier with an enum (ex for editor scenarios). I'm open to discussing this choice, but I'm relatively certain we will all come to the same conclusion here. Camera2dBundle and Camera3dBundle are much clearer than being generic on marker components / using non-default constructors.
If you want to run a custom render graph on a camera, just set the `CameraRenderGraph` component:
```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
camera_render_graph: CameraRenderGraph::new(some_render_graph_name),
..default()
})
```
Just note that if the graph requires data from specific components to work (such as `Camera3d` config, which is provided in the `Camera3dBundle`), make sure the relevant components have been added.
Speaking of using components to configure graphs / passes, there are a number of new configuration options:
```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
camera_3d: Camera3d {
// overrides the default global clear color
clear_color: ClearColorConfig::Custom(Color::RED),
..default()
},
..default()
})
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
camera_3d: Camera3d {
// disables clearing
clear_color: ClearColorConfig::None,
..default()
},
..default()
})
```
Expect to see more of the "graph configuration Components on Cameras" pattern in the future.
By popular demand, UI no longer requires a dedicated camera. `UiCameraBundle` has been removed. `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` now both default to rendering UI as part of their own render graphs. To disable UI rendering for a camera, disable it using the CameraUi component:
```rust
commands
.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle::default())
.insert(CameraUi {
is_enabled: false,
..default()
})
```
## Other Changes
* The separate clear pass has been removed. We should revisit this for things like sky rendering, but I think this PR should "keep it simple" until we're ready to properly support that (for code complexity and performance reasons). We can come up with the right design for a modular clear pass in a followup pr.
* I reorganized bevy_core_pipeline into Core2dPlugin and Core3dPlugin (and core_2d / core_3d modules). Everything is pretty much the same as before, just logically separate. I've moved relevant types (like Camera2d, Camera3d, Camera3dBundle, Camera2dBundle) into their relevant modules, which is what motivated this reorganization.
* I adapted the `scene_viewer` example (which relied on the ActiveCameras behavior) to the new system. I also refactored bits and pieces to be a bit simpler.
* All of the examples have been ported to the new camera approach. `render_to_texture` and `multiple_windows` are now _much_ simpler. I removed `two_passes` because it is less relevant with the new approach. If someone wants to add a new "layered custom pass with CameraRenderGraph" example, that might fill a similar niche. But I don't feel much pressure to add that in this pr.
* Cameras now have `target_logical_size` and `target_physical_size` fields, which makes finding the size of a camera's render target _much_ simpler. As a result, the `Assets<Image>` and `Windows` parameters were removed from `Camera::world_to_screen`, making that operation much more ergonomic.
* Render order ambiguities between cameras with the same target and the same priority now produce a warning. This accomplishes two goals:
1. Now that there is no "global" active camera, by default spawning two cameras will result in two renders (one covering the other). This would be a silent performance killer that would be hard to detect after the fact. By detecting ambiguities, we can provide a helpful warning when this occurs.
2. Render order ambiguities could result in unexpected / unpredictable render results. Resolving them makes sense.
## Follow Up Work
* Per-Camera viewports, which will make it possible to render to a smaller area inside of a RenderTarget (great for something like splitscreen)
* Camera-specific MSAA config (should use the same "overriding" pattern used for ClearColor)
* Graph Based Camera Ordering: priorities are simple, but they make complicated ordering constraints harder to express. We should consider adopting a "graph based" camera ordering model with "before" and "after" relationships to other cameras (or build it "on top" of the priority system).
* Consider allowing graphs to run subgraphs from any nest level (aka a global namespace for graphs). Right now the 2d and 3d graphs each need their own UI subgraph, which feels "fine" in the short term. But being able to share subgraphs between other subgraphs seems valuable.
* Consider splitting `bevy_core_pipeline` into `bevy_core_2d` and `bevy_core_3d` packages. Theres a shared "clear color" dependency here, which would need a new home.
# Objective
- Split PBR and 2D mesh shaders into types and bindings to prepare the shaders to be more reusable.
- See #3969 for details. I'm doing this in multiple steps to make review easier.
---
## Changelog
- Changed: 2D and PBR mesh shaders are now split into types and bindings, the following shader imports are available: `bevy_pbr::mesh_view_types`, `bevy_pbr::mesh_view_bindings`, `bevy_pbr::mesh_types`, `bevy_pbr::mesh_bindings`, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_view_types`, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_view_bindings`, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_types`, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_bindings`
## Migration Guide
- In shaders for 3D meshes:
- `#import bevy_pbr::mesh_view_bind_group` -> `#import bevy_pbr::mesh_view_bindings`
- `#import bevy_pbr::mesh_struct` -> `#import bevy_pbr::mesh_types`
- NOTE: If you are using the mesh bind group at bind group index 2, you can remove those binding statements in your shader and just use `#import bevy_pbr::mesh_bindings` which itself imports the mesh types needed for the bindings.
- In shaders for 2D meshes:
- `#import bevy_sprite::mesh2d_view_bind_group` -> `#import bevy_sprite::mesh2d_view_bindings`
- `#import bevy_sprite::mesh2d_struct` -> `#import bevy_sprite::mesh2d_types`
- NOTE: If you are using the mesh2d bind group at bind group index 2, you can remove those binding statements in your shader and just use `#import bevy_sprite::mesh2d_bindings` which itself imports the mesh2d types needed for the bindings.
# Objective
- The `scene_viewer` example assumes the `animation` feature is enabled, which it is by default. However, animations may have a performance cost that is undesirable when testing performance, for example. Then it is useful to be able to disable the `animation` feature and one would still like the `scene_viewer` example to work.
## Solution
- Gate animation code in `scene_viewer` on the `animation` feature being enabled.
# Objective
- Add an `ExtractResourcePlugin` for convenience and consistency
## Solution
- Add an `ExtractResourcePlugin` similar to `ExtractComponentPlugin` but for ECS `Resource`s. The system that is executed simply clones the main world resource into a render world resource, if and only if the main world resource was either added or changed since the last execution of the system.
- Add an `ExtractResource` trait with a `fn extract_resource(res: &Self) -> Self` function. This is used by the `ExtractResourcePlugin` to extract the resource
- Add a derive macro for `ExtractResource` on a `Resource` with the `Clone` trait, that simply returns `res.clone()`
- Use `ExtractResourcePlugin` wherever both possible and appropriate
# Objective
- Add Vertex Color support to 2D meshes and ColorMaterial. This extends the work from #4528 (which in turn builds on the excellent tangent handling).
## Solution
- Added `#ifdef` wrapped support for vertex colors in the 2D mesh shader and `ColorMaterial` shader.
- Added an example, `mesh2d_vertex_color_texture` to demonstrate it in action.

---
## Changelog
- Added optional (ifdef wrapped) vertex color support to the 2dmesh and color material systems.
# Objective
- Sometimes, people might load an asset as one type, then use it with an `Asset`s for a different type.
- See e.g. #4784.
- This is especially likely with the Gltf types, since users may not have a clear conceptual model of what types the assets will be.
- We had an instance of this ourselves, in the `scene_viewer` example
## Solution
- Make `Assets::get` require a type safe handle.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- `Assets::<T>::get` and `Assets::<T>::get_mut` now require that the passed handles are `Handle<T>`, improving the type safety of handles.
### Added
- `HandleUntyped::typed_weak`, a helper function for creating a weak typed version of an exisitng `HandleUntyped`.
## Migration Guide
`Assets::<T>::get` and `Assets::<T>::get_mut` now require that the passed handles are `Handle<T>`, improving the type safety of handles. If you were previously passing in:
- a `HandleId`, use `&Handle::weak(id)` instead, to create a weak handle. You may have been able to store a type safe `Handle` instead.
- a `HandleUntyped`, use `&handle_untyped.typed_weak()` to create a weak handle of the specified type. This is most likely to be the useful when using [load_folder](https://docs.rs/bevy_asset/latest/bevy_asset/struct.AssetServer.html#method.load_folder)
- a `Handle<U>` of of a different type, consider whether this is the correct handle type to store. If it is (i.e. the same handle id is used for multiple different Asset types) use `Handle::weak(handle.id)` to cast to a different type.
# Objective
Fixes#3183. Requiring a `&TaskPool` parameter is sort of meaningless if the only correct one is to use the one provided by `Res<ComputeTaskPool>` all the time.
## Solution
Have `QueryState` save a clone of the `ComputeTaskPool` which is used for all `par_for_each` functions.
~~Adds a small overhead of the internal `Arc` clone as a part of the startup, but the ergonomics win should be well worth this hardly-noticable overhead.~~
Updated the docs to note that it will panic the task pool is not present as a resource.
# Future Work
If https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/54 is approved, we can replace these resource lookups with a static function call instead to get the `ComputeTaskPool`.
---
## Changelog
Removed: The `task_pool` parameter of `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)`. These calls will use the `World`'s `ComputeTaskPool` resource instead.
## Migration Guide
The `task_pool` parameter for `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)` has been removed. Remove these parameters from all calls to these functions.
Before:
```rust
fn parallel_system(
task_pool: Res<ComputeTaskPool>,
query: Query<&MyComponent>,
) {
query.par_for_each(&task_pool, 32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
After:
```rust
fn parallel_system(query: Query<&MyComponent>) {
query.par_for_each(32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
If using `Query(State)` outside of a system run by the scheduler, you may need to manually configure and initialize a `ComputeTaskPool` as a resource in the `World`.
# Objective
- Coming from 7a596f1910 (r876310734)
- Simplify the examples regarding addition of `Msaa` Resource with default value.
## Solution
- Remove addition of `Msaa` Resource with default value from examples,
# Objective
Reduce the catch-all grab-bag of functionality in bevy_core by minimally splitting off time functionality into bevy_time. Functionality like that provided by #3002 would increase the complexity of bevy_time, so this is a good candidate for pulling into its own unit.
A step in addressing #2931 and splitting bevy_core into more specific locations.
## Solution
Pull the time module of bevy_core into a new crate, bevy_time.
# Migration guide
- Time related types (e.g. `Time`, `Timer`, `Stopwatch`, `FixedTimestep`, etc.) should be imported from `bevy::time::*` rather than `bevy::core::*`.
- If you were adding `CorePlugin` manually, you'll also want to add `TimePlugin` from `bevy::time`.
- The `bevy::core::CorePlugin::Time` system label is replaced with `bevy::time::TimeSystem`.

# Objective
- Fixes#4456
## Solution
- Removed the `near` and `far` fields from the camera and the views.
---
## Changelog
- Removed the `near` and `far` fields from the camera and the views.
- Removed the `ClusterFarZMode::CameraFarPlane` far z mode.
## Migration Guide
- Cameras no longer accept near and far values during initialization
- `ClusterFarZMode::Constant` should be used with the far value instead of `ClusterFarZMode::CameraFarPlane`
# Objective
Provide a starting point for #3951, or a partial solution.
Providing a few comment blocks to discuss, and hopefully find better one in the process.
## Solution
Since I am pretty new to pretty much anything in this context, I figured I'd just start with a draft for some file level doc blocks. For some of them I found more relevant details (or at least things I considered interessting), for some others there is less.
## Changelog
- Moved some existing comments from main() functions in the 2d examples to the file header level
- Wrote some more comment blocks for most other 2d examples
TODO:
- [x] 2d/sprite_sheet, wasnt able to come up with something good yet
- [x] all other example groups...
Also: Please let me know if the commit style is okay, or to verbose. I could certainly squash these things, or add more details if needed.
I also hope its okay to raise this PR this early, with just a few files changed. Took me long enough and I dont wanted to let it go to waste because I lost motivation to do the whole thing. Additionally I am somewhat uncertain over the style and contents of the commets. So let me know what you thing please.
# Objective
> ℹ️ **Note**: This is a rebased version of #2383. A large portion of it has not been touched (only a few minor changes) so that any additional discussion may happen here. All credit should go to @NathanSWard for their work on the original PR.
- Currently reflection is not supported for arrays.
- Fixes#1213
## Solution
* Implement reflection for arrays via the `Array` trait.
* Note, `Array` is different from `List` in the way that you cannot push elements onto an array as they are statically sized.
* Now `List` is defined as a sub-trait of `Array`.
---
## Changelog
* Added the `Array` reflection trait
* Allows arrays up to length 32 to be reflected via the `Array` trait
## Migration Guide
* The `List` trait now has the `Array` supertrait. This means that `clone_dynamic` will need to specify which version to use:
```rust
// Before
let cloned = my_list.clone_dynamic();
// After
let cloned = List::clone_dynamic(&my_list);
```
* All implementers of `List` will now need to implement `Array` (this mostly involves moving the existing methods to the `Array` impl)

# Objective
- It's pretty common to want to check if an EventReader has received one or multiple events while also needing to consume the iterator to "clear" the EventReader.
- The current approach is to do something like `events.iter().count() > 0` or `events.iter().last().is_some()`. It's not immediately obvious that the purpose of that is to consume the events and check if there were any events. My solution doesn't really solve that part, but it encapsulates the pattern.
## Solution
- Add a `.clear()` method that consumes the iterator.
- It takes the EventReader by value to make sure it isn't used again after it has been called.
---
## Migration Guide
Not a breaking change, but if you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to consume the EventReader and check if there was any events you can now use
```rust
fn system(events: EventReader<MyEvent>) {
if !events.is_empty {
events.clear();
// Process the fact that one or more event was received
}
}
```

# Objective
Fixes#3180, builds from https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2898
## Solution
Support requesting a window to be closed and closing a window in `bevy_window`, and handle this in `bevy_winit`.
This is a stopgap until we move to windows as entites, which I'm sure I'll get around to eventually.
## Changelog
### Added
- `Window::close` to allow closing windows.
- `WindowClosed` to allow reacting to windows being closed.
### Changed
Replaced `bevy::system::exit_on_esc_system` with `bevy:🪟:close_on_esc`.
## Fixed
The app no longer exits when any window is closed. This difference is only observable when there are multiple windows.
## Migration Guide
`bevy::input::system::exit_on_esc_system` has been removed. Use `bevy:🪟:close_on_esc` instead.
`CloseWindow` has been removed. Use `Window::close` instead.
The `Close` variant has been added to `WindowCommand`. Handle this by closing the relevant window.
# Objective
Add support for vertex colors
## Solution
This change is modeled after how vertex tangents are handled, so the shader is conditionally compiled with vertex color support if the mesh has the corresponding attribute set.
Vertex colors are multiplied by the base color. I'm not sure if this is the best for all cases, but may be useful for modifying vertex colors without creating a new mesh.
I chose `VertexFormat::Float32x4`, but I'd prefer 16-bit floats if/when support is added.
## Changelog
### Added
- Vertex colors can be specified using the `Mesh::ATTRIBUTE_COLOR` mesh attribute.
# Objective
Bevy users often want to create circles and other simple shapes.
All the machinery is in place to accomplish this, and there are external crates that help. But when writing code for e.g. a new bevy example, it's not really possible to draw a circle without bringing in a new asset, writing a bunch of scary looking mesh code, or adding a dependency.
In particular, this PR was inspired by this interaction in another PR: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3721#issuecomment-1016774535
## Solution
This PR adds `shape::RegularPolygon` and `shape::Circle` (which is just a `RegularPolygon` that defaults to a large number of sides)
## Discussion
There's a lot of ongoing discussion about shapes in <https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/12> and at least one other lingering shape PR (although it seems incomplete).
That RFC currently includes `RegularPolygon` and `Circle` shapes, so I don't think that having working mesh generation code in the engine for those shapes would add much burden to an author of an implementation.
But if we'd prefer not to add additional shapes until after that's sorted out, I'm happy to close this for now.
## Alternatives for users
For any users stumbling on this issue, here are some plugins that will help if you need more shapes.
https://github.com/Nilirad/bevy_prototype_lyonhttps://github.com/johanhelsing/bevy_smudhttps://github.com/Weasy666/bevy_svghttps://github.com/redpandamonium/bevy_more_shapeshttps://github.com/ForesightMiningSoftwareCorporation/bevy_polyline
This is a replacement for #2106
This adds a `Metadata` struct which contains metadata information about a file, at the moment only the file type.
It also adds a `get_metadata` to `AssetIo` trait and an `asset_io` accessor method to `AssetServer` and `LoadContext`
I am not sure about the changes in `AndroidAssetIo ` and `WasmAssetIo`.
# Objective
- As requested here: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4520#issuecomment-1109302039
- Make it easier to spot issues with built-in shapes
## Solution
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/200550/165624709-c40dfe7e-0e1e-4bd3-ae52-8ae66888c171.mp4
- Add an example showcasing the built-in 3d shapes with lighting/shadows
- Rotate objects in such a way that all faces are seen by the camera
- Add a UV debug texture
## Discussion
I'm not sure if this is what @alice-i-cecile had in mind, but I adapted the little "torus playground" from the issue linked above to include all built-in shapes.
This exact arrangement might not be particularly scalable if many more shapes are added. Maybe a slow camera pan, or cycling with the keyboard or on a timer, or a sidebar with buttons would work better. If one of the latter options is used, options for showing wireframes or computed flat normals might add some additional utility.
Ideally, I think we'd have a better way of visualizing normals.
Happy to rework this or close it if there's not a consensus around it being useful.
# Objective
- Part of the splitting process of #3692.
## Solution
- Remove / change the tuple structs inside of `gamepad.rs` of `bevy_input` to normal structs.
## Reasons
- It made the `gamepad_connection_system` cleaner.
- It made the `gamepad_input_events.rs` example cleaner (which is probably the most notable change for the user facing API).
- Tuple structs are not descriptive (`.0`, `.1`).
- Using tuple structs for more than 1 field is a bad idea (This means that the `Gamepad` type might be fine as a tuple struct, but I still prefer normal structs over tuple structs).
Feel free to discuss this change as this is more or less just a matter of taste.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Gamepad`, `GamepadButton`, `GamepadAxis`, `GamepadEvent` and `GamepadEventRaw` types are now normal structs instead of tuple structs and have a `new()` function.
## Migration Guide
- The `Gamepad`, `GamepadButton`, `GamepadAxis`, `GamepadEvent` and `GamepadEventRaw` types are now normal structs instead of tuple structs and have a `new()` function. To migrate change every instantiation to use the `new()` function instead and use the appropriate field names instead of `.0` and `.1`.
# Objective
`bevy_ecs` has large amounts of unsafe code which is hard to get right and makes it difficult to audit for soundness.
## Solution
Introduce lifetimed, type-erased pointers: `Ptr<'a>` `PtrMut<'a>` `OwningPtr<'a>'` and `ThinSlicePtr<'a, T>` which are newtypes around a raw pointer with a lifetime and conceptually representing strong invariants about the pointee and validity of the pointer.
The process of converting bevy_ecs to use these has already caught multiple cases of unsound behavior.
## Changelog
TL;DR for release notes: `bevy_ecs` now uses lifetimed, type-erased pointers internally, significantly improving safety and legibility without sacrificing performance. This should have approximately no end user impact, unless you were meddling with the (unfortunately public) internals of `bevy_ecs`.
- `Fetch`, `FilterFetch` and `ReadOnlyFetch` trait no longer have a `'state` lifetime
- this was unneeded
- `ReadOnly/Fetch` associated types on `WorldQuery` are now on a new `WorldQueryGats<'world>` trait
- was required to work around lack of Generic Associated Types (we wish to express `type Fetch<'a>: Fetch<'a>`)
- `derive(WorldQuery)` no longer requires `'w` lifetime on struct
- this was unneeded, and improves the end user experience
- `EntityMut::get_unchecked_mut` returns `&'_ mut T` not `&'w mut T`
- allows easier use of unsafe API with less footguns, and can be worked around via lifetime transmutery as a user
- `Bundle::from_components` now takes a `ctx` parameter to pass to the `FnMut` closure
- required because closure return types can't borrow from captures
- `Fetch::init` takes `&'world World`, `Fetch::set_archetype` takes `&'world Archetype` and `&'world Tables`, `Fetch::set_table` takes `&'world Table`
- allows types implementing `Fetch` to store borrows into world
- `WorldQuery` trait now has a `shrink` fn to shorten the lifetime in `Fetch::<'a>::Item`
- this works around lack of subtyping of assoc types, rust doesnt allow you to turn `<T as Fetch<'static>>::Item'` into `<T as Fetch<'a>>::Item'`
- `QueryCombinationsIter` requires this
- Most types implementing `Fetch` now have a lifetime `'w`
- allows the fetches to store borrows of world data instead of using raw pointers
## Migration guide
- `EntityMut::get_unchecked_mut` returns a more restricted lifetime, there is no general way to migrate this as it depends on your code
- `Bundle::from_components` implementations must pass the `ctx` arg to `func`
- `Bundle::from_components` callers have to use a fn arg instead of closure captures for borrowing from world
- Remove lifetime args on `derive(WorldQuery)` structs as it is nonsensical
- `<Q as WorldQuery>::ReadOnly/Fetch` should be changed to either `RO/QueryFetch<'world>` or `<Q as WorldQueryGats<'world>>::ReadOnly/Fetch`
- `<F as Fetch<'w, 's>>` should be changed to `<F as Fetch<'w>>`
- Change the fn sigs of `Fetch::init/set_archetype/set_table` to match respective trait fn sigs
- Implement the required `fn shrink` on any `WorldQuery` implementations
- Move assoc types `Fetch` and `ReadOnlyFetch` on `WorldQuery` impls to `WorldQueryGats` impls
- Pass an appropriate `'world` lifetime to whatever fetch struct you are for some reason using
### Type inference regression
in some cases rustc may give spurrious errors when attempting to infer the `F` parameter on a query/querystate this can be fixed by manually specifying the type, i.e. `QueryState:🆕:<_, ()>(world)`. The error is rather confusing:
```rust=
error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<() as Fetch<'_>>::Item == bool`
--> crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/light.rs:1413:30
|
1413 | main_view_query: QueryState::new(world),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `bool`, found `()`
|
= note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `for<'x> FilterFetch<'x>` for `<() as WorldQueryGats<'x>>::Fetch`
note: required by a bound in `bevy_ecs::query::QueryState::<Q, F>::new`
--> crates/bevy_ecs/src/query/state.rs:49:32
|
49 | for<'x> QueryFetch<'x, F>: FilterFetch<'x>,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ required by this bound in `bevy_ecs::query::QueryState::<Q, F>::new`
```

# Objective
Reduce the catch-all grab-bag of functionality in bevy_core by moving FloatOrd to bevy_utils.
A step in addressing #2931 and splitting bevy_core into more specific locations.
## Solution
Move FloatOrd into bevy_utils. Fix the compile errors.
As a result, bevy_core_pipeline, bevy_pbr, bevy_sprite, bevy_text, and bevy_ui no longer depend on bevy_core (they were only using it for `FloatOrd` previously).
# Objective
- Closes#335.
- Related #4285.
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Move `Rect` to `bevy_ui` and rename it to `UiRect`.
## Reasons
- `Rect` is only used in `bevy_ui` and therefore calling it `UiRect` makes the intent clearer.
- We have two types that are called `Rect` currently and it's missleading (see `bevy_sprite::Rect` and #335).
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Rect` type got moved from `bevy_math` to `bevy_ui` and renamed to `UiRect`.
## Migration Guide
- The `Rect` type got renamed to `UiRect`. To migrate you just have to change every occurrence of `Rect` to `UiRect`.

# Objective
- Related #4276.
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Move `Size` to `bevy_ui`.
## Reasons
- `Size` is only needed in `bevy_ui` (because it needs to use `Val` instead of `f32`), but it's also used as a worse `Vec2` replacement in other areas.
- `Vec2` is more powerful than `Size` so it should be used whenever possible.
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Size` type got moved from `bevy_math` to `bevy_ui`.
## Migration Guide
- The `Size` type got moved from `bevy::math` to `bevy::ui`. To migrate you just have to import `bevy::ui::Size` instead of `bevy::math::Math` or use the `bevy::prelude` instead.

# Objective
- Fixes#4234
- Fixes#4473
- Built on top of #3989
- Improve performance of `assign_lights_to_clusters`
## Solution
- Remove the OBB-based cluster light assignment algorithm and calculation of view space AABBs
- Implement the 'iterative sphere refinement' algorithm used in Just Cause 3 by Emil Persson as documented in the Siggraph 2015 Practical Clustered Shading talk by Persson, on pages 42-44 http://newq.net/dl/pub/s2015_practical.pdf
- Adapt to also support orthographic projections
- Add `many_lights -- orthographic` for testing many lights using an orthographic projection
## Results
- `assign_lights_to_clusters` in `many_lights` before this PR on an M1 Max over 1500 frames had a median execution time of 1.71ms. With this PR it is 1.51ms, a reduction of 0.2ms or 11.7% for this system.

# Objective
Continue the effort to clean up this example
## Solution
- Store contributor name as component to avoid awkward vec of tuples
- Name the variable storing the Random Number Generator "rng"
- Use init_resource for resource implementing default
- Fix a few spots where an Entity was unnecessarily referenced and immediately dereferenced
- Fix up an awkward comment
# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3499
## Solution
Uses a `HashMap` from `RenderTarget` to sampled textures when preparing `ViewTarget`s to ensure that two passes with the same render target get sampled to the same texture.
This builds on and depends on https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3412, so this will be a draft PR until #3412 is merged. All changes for this PR are in the last commit.
# Objective
glTF files can contain cameras. Currently the scene viewer example uses _a_ camera defined in the file if possible, otherwise it spawns a new one. It would be nice if instead it could load all the cameras and cycle through them, while also having a separate user-controller camera.
## Solution
- instead of just a camera that is already defined, always spawn a new separate user-controller camera
- maintain a list of loaded cameras and cycle through them (wrapping to the user-controller camera) when pressing `C`
This matches the behavious that https://github.khronos.org/glTF-Sample-Viewer-Release/ has.
## Implementation notes
- The gltf scene asset loader just spawns the cameras into the world, but does not return a mapping of camera index to bevy entity. So instead the scene_viewer example just collects all spawned cameras with a good old `query.iter().collect()`, so the order is unspecified and may change between runs.

# Objective
- Several examples are useful for qualitative tests of Bevy's performance
- By contrast, these are less useful for learning material: they are often relatively complex and have large amounts of setup and are performance optimized.
## Solution
- Move bevymark, many_sprites and many_cubes into the new stress_tests example folder
- Move contributors into the games folder: unlike the remaining examples in the 2d folder, it is not focused on demonstrating a clear feature.
Remove the 'chaining' api, as it's peculiar
~~Implement the label traits for `Box<dyn ThatTrait>` (n.b. I'm not confident about this change, but it was the quickest path to not regressing)~~
Remove the need for '`.system`' when using run criteria piping
