# Objective
Trait objects that have `Reflect` as a supertrait cannot be upcast to a `dyn Reflect`.
Attempting something like:
```rust
trait MyTrait: Reflect {
// ...
}
fn foo(value: &dyn MyTrait) {
let reflected = value as &dyn Reflect; // Error!
// ...
}
```
Results in `error[E0658]: trait upcasting coercion is experimental`.
The reason this is important is that a lot of `bevy_reflect` methods require a `&dyn Reflect`. This is trivial with concrete types, but if we don't know the concrete type (we only have the trait object), we can't use these methods. For example, we couldn't create a `ReflectSerializer` for the type since it expects a `&dyn Reflect` value— even though we should be able to.
## Solution
Add `as_reflect` and `as_reflect_mut` to `Reflect` to allow upcasting to a `dyn Reflect`:
```rust
trait MyTrait: Reflect {
// ...
}
fn foo(value: &dyn MyTrait) {
let reflected = value.as_reflect();
// ...
}
```
## Alternatives
We could defer this type of logic to the crate/user. They can add these methods to their trait in the same exact way we do here. The main benefit of doing it ourselves is it makes things convenient for them (especially when using the derive macro).
We could also create an `AsReflect` trait with a blanket impl over all reflected types, however, I could not get that to work for trait objects since they aren't sized.
---
## Changelog
- Added trait method `Reflect::as_reflect(&self)`
- Added trait method `Reflect::as_reflect_mut(&mut self)`
## Migration Guide
- Manual implementors of `Reflect` will need to add implementations for the methods above (this should be pretty easy as most cases just need to return `self`)
# 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
- The `OrthographicCameraBundle` constructor for 2d cameras uses a hardcoded value for Z position and scale of the camera. It could be useful to be able to customize these values.
## Solution
- Add a new constructor `custom_2d` that takes `far` (Z position) and `scale` as parameters. The default constructor `new_2d` uses this constructor with `far = 1000.0` and `scale = 1.0`.
A couple more uncontroversial changes extracted from #3886.
* Enable full feature of syn
It is necessary for the ItemFn and ItemTrait type. Currently it is indirectly
enabled through the tracing dependency of bevy_utils, but this may no
longer be the case in the future.
* Remove unused function from bevy_macro_utils
# Objective
- Part of the splitting process of #3692.
## Solution
- Add more tests to `input.rs` inside of `bevy_input`.
## Note
- The tests would now catch a change like #4410 and fail accordingly.
# Objective
- Debug logs are useful in release builds, but `tracing` logs are hard-capped (`release_max_level_info`) at the `info` level by `bevy_utils`.
## Solution
- This PR simply removes the limit in `bevy_utils` with no further actions.
- If any out-of-the box performance regressions arise, the steps to enable this `tracing` feature should be documented in a user guide in the future.
This PR closes#4069 and closes#1206.
## Alternatives considered
- Instruct the user to build with `debug-assertions` enabled: this is just a workaround, as it obviously enables all `debug-assertions` that affect more than logging itself.
- Re-exporting the feature from `tracing` and enabling it by default: I believe it just adds complexity and confusion, the `tracing` feature can also be re-enabled with one line in userland.
---
## Changelog
### Fixed
- Log level is not hard capped at `info` for release builds anymore.
## Migration Guide
- Maximum log levels for release builds is not enforced by Bevy anymore, to omit "debug" and "trace" level logs entirely from release builds, `tracing` must be added as a dependency with its `release_max_level_info` feature enabled in `Cargo.toml`. (`tracing = { version = "0.1", features = ["release_max_level_info"] }`)
# Objective
To test systems that implement frame rate-independent update logic, one needs to be able to mock `Time`. By mocking time, it's possible to write tests that confirm systems are frame rate-independent.
This is a follow-up PR to #2549 by @ostwilkens and based on his work.
## Solution
To mock `Time`, one needs to be able to manually update the Time resource with an `Instant` defined by the developer. This can be achieved by making the existing `Time::update_with_instant` method public for use in tests.
## Changelog
- Make `Time::update_with_instant` public
- Add doc to `Time::update_with_instant` clarifying that the method should not be called outside of tests.
- Add doc test to `Time` demonstrating how to use `update_with_instant` in tests.

# Objective
- The single threaded task pool is not documented
- This doesn't warn in CI as it's feature gated for wasm, but I'm tired of seeing the warnings when building in wasm
## Solution
- Document it
# Objective
- Part of the splitting process of #3692.
## Solution
- Rename `ElementState` to `ButtonState`
## Reasons
- The old name was too generic.
- If something can be pressed it is automatically button-like (thanks to @alice-i-cecile for bringing it up in #3692).
- The reason it is called `ElementState` is because that's how `winit` calls it.
- It is used to define if a keyboard or mouse **button** is pressed or not.
- Discussion in #3692.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `ElementState` type received a rename and is now called `ButtonState`.
## Migration Guide
- The `ElementState` type received a rename and is now called `ButtonState`. To migrate you just have to change every occurrence of `ElementState` to `ButtonState`.

# Objective
`AsSystemLabel` has been introduced on system descriptors to make ordering systems more convenient, but `SystemSet::before` and `SystemSet::after` still take `SystemLabels` directly:
use bevy::ecs::system::AsSystemLabel;
/*…*/ SystemSet::new().before(foo.as_system_label()) /*…*/
is currently necessary instead of
/*…*/ SystemSet::new().before(foo) /*…*/
## Solution
Use `AsSystemLabel` for `SystemSet`
The only way to soundly use this API is already encapsulated within `EntityMut::get`, so this api is removed.
# Migration guide
Replace calls to `EntityMut::get_unchecked` with calls to `EntityMut::get`.
# Objective
When using `derive(WorldQuery)`, then clippy complains with the following:
```rust
warning: missing documentation for a struct
--> src\wild_boar_type\marker_vital_status.rs:35:17
|
35 | #[derive(Debug, WorldQuery)]
| ^^^^^^^^^^
|
= note: this warning originates in the derive macro `WorldQuery` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)
```
## Solution
* Either `#[doc(hidden)]` or
* Add a generic documentation line to it.
I don't know what is preferred, but I'd gladly add it in here.
# Objective
- The current API docs of `Commands` is very short and is very opaque to newcomers.
## Solution
- Try to explain what it is without requiring knowledge of other parts of `bevy_ecs` like `World` or `SystemParam`.

# Objective
- Using `.system()` is no longer needed anywhere, and anyone using it will have already gotten a deprecation warning.
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3302 was a super special case for `.system()`, since it was so prevelant. However, that's no reason.
- Despite it being deprecated, another couple of uses of it have already landed, including in the deprecating PR.
- These have all been because of doc examples having warnings not breaking CI - 🎟️?
## Solution
- Remove it.
- It's gone
---
## Changelog
- You can no longer use `.system()`
## Migration Guide
- You can no longer use `.system()`. It was deprecated in 0.7.0, and you should have followed the deprecation warning then. You can just remove the method call.
- Thanks to the @TheRawMeatball for producing
# Objective
- Fix `ClusterConfig::None`
- This fix is from @robtfm but they didn't have time to submit it, so I am.
## Solution
- Always clear clusters and skip processing when `ClusterConfig::None`
- Conditionally remove `VisiblePointLights` from the view if it is present
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4098 still hasn't fixed minimisation on Windows.
- `Clusters.lights` is assumed to have the number of items given by the product of `Clusters.dimensions`'s axes.
## Solution
- Make that true in `clear`.
# 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
- in #3851, a feature for tracing was added to bevy_transform
- usage of that feature was moved to bevy_hierarchy, but the feature was not updated
## Solution
- add the feature to bevy_hierarchy, remove it from bevy_transform
# Objective
- Provide more information when despawning an entity
## Solution
- Add a debug log when despawning an entity
- Add spans to the recursive ways of despawning an entity
```sh
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example panic --features trace
# RUST_LOG=debug needed to show debug logs from bevy_ecs
# --features trace needed to have the extra spans

# Objective
The documentation of the `Time::last_update` and `Time::time_since_startup` methods contains typos. It uses apostrophe instead of backtick characters around `Instant` and `Duration`, so that these words are not recognized as identifiers in the generated API documentation. This should be fixed.
## Solution
Fix the typos.
# 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
- While playing with volume, I noticed that when setting the volume just after playback start, I still get a few milliseconds at normal volume
## Solution
- Replace `play_in_loop` with `play_with_settings` that allows from more controls
- Adds a `PlaybackSettings` to specify the settings from start. Can be used: `PlaybackSettings::LOOP.with_volume(0.75)`
Currently `tracy` interprets the entire trace as one frame because the marker for frames isn't being recorded.
~~When an event with `tracy.trace_marker=true` is recorded, `tracing-tracy` will mark the frame as finished:
<aa0b96b2ae/tracing-tracy/src/lib.rs (L240)>~~
~~Unfortunately this leads to~~
```rs
INFO bevy_app:frame: bevy_app::app: finished frame tracy.frame_mark=true
```
~~being printed every frame (we can't use DEBUG because bevy_log sets `max_release_level_info`.~~
Instead of emitting an event that gets logged every frame, we can depend on tracy-client itself and call `finish_continuous_frame!();`
# Objective
- Fixes the issue with orthographic camera imported from glTF not displaying anything (mentioned in #4005).
## Solution
- This was due to wrong scaling mode being used. This PR simply changes WindowSize scaling mode to FixedHorizontal.
## Important Note
Currently, othographic scale in Blender, three.js, and possibly other software does not translate to Bevy (via glTF) because their developers have [misinterpreted the spec](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/issues/1663#issuecomment-618194015). The camera parameters have been clarified in glTF 2.0, which was released on October of 2021. In Blender 3.0.1 this issue has **not** been fixed yet. If you are importing orthographic cameras from Blender, you have to divide the scale by 2.
# Objective
- Previously, `iter_combinations()` does not work on queries that have filters.
- Fixes#3651
## Solution
- Derived Copy on all `*Fetch<T>` structs, and manually implemented `Clone` to allow the test to pass (`.count()` does not work on `QueryCombinationIter` when `Clone` is derived)

# Objective
- Make `set_active_camera` system correctly respond to camera deletion, while preserving its correct behavior on first ever frame and any consequent frame, and with multiple cameras of the same type available in the world.
- Fixes#4227
## Solution
- Add a check that the entity referred to by `ActiveCamera` still exists in the world.
# Objective
- In glTF, mesh can be named. This named is used to be able to reference the mesh, but not as a component on the entity
- Bevy only added the node name to the parent node.
## Solution
- Also adds the name on the mesh entity if there is one.
Limitation: In glTF, it's possible to have one mesh (which can be named) corresponding to several primitives (which can't, but are the actual mesh). I added the mesh name to the entity with the `PbrBundle` matching the primitives, which means that a mesh with several primitives would all have the same name. I think this is acceptable...
# Objective
- Make it possible to use `System`s outside of the scheduler/executor without having to define logic to track new archetypes and call `System::add_archetype()` for each.
## Solution
- Replace `System::add_archetype(&Archetype)` with `System::update_archetypes(&World)`, making systems responsible for tracking their own most recent archetype generation the way that `SystemState` already does.
This has minimal (or simplifying) effect on most of the code with the exception of `FunctionSystem`, which must now track the latest `ArchetypeGeneration` it saw instead of relying on the executor to do it.

# Objective
Fixes#4193
## Solution
When resetting a node's `Interaction` to `None`, ignore any `Clicked` node because that should be handled by the mouse release check exclusively.
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
# Objective
- While animating 501 https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/tree/master/2.0/BrainStem, I noticed things were getting a little slow
- Looking in tracy, the system `extract_skinned_meshes` is taking a lot of time, with a mean duration of 15.17ms
## Solution
- ~~Use `Vec` instead of a `SmallVec`~~
- ~~Don't use an temporary variable~~
- Compute the affine matrix as an `Affine3A` instead
- Remove the `temp` vec
| |mean|
|---|---|
|base|15.17ms|
|~~vec~~|~~9.31ms~~|
|~~no temp variable~~|~~11.31ms~~|
|removing the temp vector|8.43ms|
|affine|13.21ms|
|all together|7.23ms|
