[*Percentage-closer soft shadows*] are a technique from 2004 that allow
shadows to become blurrier farther from the objects that cast them. It
works by introducing a *blocker search* step that runs before the normal
shadow map sampling. The blocker search step detects the difference
between the depth of the fragment being rasterized and the depth of the
nearby samples in the depth buffer. Larger depth differences result in a
larger penumbra and therefore a blurrier shadow.
To enable PCSS, fill in the `soft_shadow_size` value in
`DirectionalLight`, `PointLight`, or `SpotLight`, as appropriate. This
shadow size value represents the size of the light and should be tuned
as appropriate for your scene. Higher values result in a wider penumbra
(i.e. blurrier shadows).
When using PCSS, temporal shadow maps
(`ShadowFilteringMethod::Temporal`) are recommended. If you don't use
`ShadowFilteringMethod::Temporal` and instead use
`ShadowFilteringMethod::Gaussian`, Bevy will use the same technique as
`Temporal`, but the result won't vary over time. This produces a rather
noisy result. Doing better would likely require downsampling the shadow
map, which would be complex and slower (and would require PR #13003 to
land first).
In addition to PCSS, this commit makes the near Z plane for the shadow
map configurable on a per-light basis. Previously, it had been hardcoded
to 0.1 meters. This change was necessary to make the point light shadow
map in the example look reasonable, as otherwise the shadows appeared
far too aliased.
A new example, `pcss`, has been added. It demonstrates the
percentage-closer soft shadow technique with directional lights, point
lights, spot lights, non-temporal operation, and temporal operation. The
assets are my original work.
Both temporal and non-temporal shadows are rather noisy in the example,
and, as mentioned before, this is unavoidable without downsampling the
depth buffer, which we can't do yet. Note also that the shadows don't
look particularly great for point lights; the example simply isn't an
ideal scene for them. Nevertheless, I felt that the benefits of the
ability to do a side-by-side comparison of directional and point lights
outweighed the unsightliness of the point light shadows in that example,
so I kept the point light feature in.
Fixes#3631.

## Changelog
### Added
* Percentage-closer soft shadows (PCSS) are now supported, allowing
shadows to become blurrier as they stretch away from objects. To use
them, set the `soft_shadow_size` field in `DirectionalLight`,
`PointLight`, or `SpotLight`, as applicable.
* The near Z value for shadow maps is now customizable via the
`shadow_map_near_z` field in `DirectionalLight`, `PointLight`, and
`SpotLight`.

# Objective
Fixes#15223
## Solution
Adds an `enabled` flag to the `FpsOverlayConfig` resource with a system
that detects it's change, and adjusts the visibility of the overlay text
entity.
## Testing
I extended the `fps_overlay` example with the option to toggle the
overlay. Run with:
```
cargo run --features="bevy_dev_tools" --example fps_overlay
```
This commit adds two new `WorldQuery` types: `EntityRefExcept` and
`EntityMutExcept`. These types work just like `EntityRef` and
`EntityMut`, but they prevent access to a statically-specified list of
components. For example, `EntityMutExcept<(AnimationPlayer,
Handle<AnimationGraph>)>` provides mutable access to all components
except for `AnimationPlayer` and `Handle<AnimationGraph>`. These types
are useful when you need to be able to process arbitrary queries while
iterating over the results of another `EntityMut` query.
The motivating use case is *generalized animation*, which is an upcoming
feature that allows animation of any component property, not just
rotation, translation, scaling, or morph weights. To implement this, we
must change the current `AnyOf<(&mut Transform, &mut MorphWeights)>` to
instead be `EntityMutExcept<(AnimationPlayer, Handle<AnimationGraph>)>`.
It's possible to use `FilteredEntityMut` in conjunction with a
dynamically-generated system instead, but `FilteredEntityMut` isn't
optimized for the use case of a large number of allowed components
coupled with a small set of disallowed components. No amount of
optimization of `FilteredEntityMut` produced acceptable performance on
the `many_foxes` benchmark. `Query<EntityMut, Without<AnimationPlayer>>`
will not suffice either, as it's legal and idiomatic for an
`AnimationTarget` and an `AnimationPlayer` to coexist on the same
entity.
An alternate proposal was to implement a somewhat-more-general
`Except<Q, CL>` feature, where Q is a `WorldQuery` and CL is a
`ComponentList`. I wasn't able to implement that proposal in a
reasonable way, because of the fact that methods like
`EntityMut::get_mut` and `EntityRef::get` are inherent methods instead
of methods on `WorldQuery`, and therefore there was no way to delegate
methods like `get` and `get_mut` to the inner query in a generic way.
Refactoring those methods into a trait would probably be possible.
However, I didn't see a use case for a hypothetical `Except` with
arbitrary queries: `Query<Except<(&Transform, &Visibility),
Visibility>>` would just be a complicated equivalent to
`Query<&Transform>`, for instance. So, out of a desire for simplicity, I
omitted a generic `Except` mechanism.
I've tested the performance of generalized animation on `many_foxes` and
found that, with this patch, `animate_targets` has a 7.4% slowdown over
`main`. With `FilteredEntityMut` optimized to use `Arc<Access>`, the
slowdown is 75.6%, due to contention on the reference count. Without
`Arc<Access>`, the slowdown is even worse, over 2x.
## Testing
New tests have been added that check that `EntityRefExcept` and
`EntityMutExcept` allow and disallow access to components properly and
that the query engine can correctly reject conflicting queries involving
those types.
A Tracy profile of `many_foxes` with 10,000 foxes showing generalized
animation using `FilteredEntityMut` (red) vs. main (yellow) is as
follows:

# Objective
Thanks to #7207, we now have a way to validate at the type-level that a
reflected value is actually the type it says it is and not just a
dynamic representation of that type.
`dyn PartialReflect` values _might_ be a dynamic type, but `dyn Reflect`
values are guaranteed to _not_ be a dynamic type.
Therefore, we can start to add methods to `Reflect` that weren't really
possible before. For example, we should now be able to always get a
`&'static TypeInfo`, and not just an `Option<&'static TypeInfo>`.
## Solution
Add the `DynamicTyped` trait.
This trait is similar to `DynamicTypePath` in that it provides a way to
use the non-object-safe `Typed` trait in an object-safe way.
And since all types that derive `Reflect` will also derive `Typed`, we
can safely add `DynamicTyped` as a supertrait of `Reflect`. This allows
us to use it when just given a `dyn Reflect` trait object.
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
---
## Showcase
`Reflect` now has a supertrait of `DynamicTyped`, allowing `TypeInfo` to
be retrieved from a `dyn Reflect` trait object without having to unwrap
anything!
```rust
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(String::from("Hello!"));
// BEFORE
let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.get_represented_type_info().unwrap();
// AFTER
let info: &'static TypeInfo = value.reflect_type_info();
```
## Migration Guide
`Reflect` now has a supertrait of `DynamicTyped`. If you were manually
implementing `Reflect` and did not implement `Typed`, you will now need
to do so.

## Showcase

# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14991. The `cosmic-text`
shape run cache requires manual cleanup for old text that no longer
needs to be cached.
## Solution
- Add a system to trim the cache.
- Add an `average fps` indicator to the `text_debug` example.
## Testing
Tested with `cargo run --example text_debug`.
- **No shape run cache**: 82fps with ~1fps variance.
- **Shape run cache no trim**: 90-100fps with ~2-4fps variance
- **Shape run cache trim age = 1**: 90-100fps with ~2-8fps variance
- **Shape run cache trim age = 2**: 90-100fps with ~2-4fps variance
- **Shape run cache trim age = 2000**: 80-120fps with ~2-6fps variance
The shape run cache seems to increase average FPS but also increases
frame time variance (when there is dynamic text).
# Objective
- I've seen quite a few people on discord copy-paste the camera code of
the first-person example and then run into problems with the pitch.
- ~~Additionally, the code is framerate-dependent.~~ it's not, see
comment in PR
## Solution
- Make the code good enough to be copy-pasteable
- ~~Use `dt` to make the code framerate-independent~~ Add comment
explaining why we don't use `dt`
- Clamp the pitch
- Move the camera sensitivity into a component for better
configurability
## Testing
Didn't run the example again, but the code is straight from another
project I have open, so I'm not worried.

# Objective
The names of numerous rendering components in Bevy are inconsistent and
a bit confusing. Relevant names include:
- `AutoExposureSettings`
- `AutoExposureSettingsUniform`
- `BloomSettings`
- `BloomUniform` (no `Settings`)
- `BloomPrefilterSettings`
- `ChromaticAberration` (no `Settings`)
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpeningSettings`
- `DepthOfFieldSettings`
- `DepthOfFieldUniform` (no `Settings`)
- `FogSettings`
- `SmaaSettings`, `Fxaa`, `TemporalAntiAliasSettings` (really
inconsistent??)
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings`
- `ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings`
- `VolumetricFogSettings`
Firstly, there's a lot of inconsistency between `Foo`/`FooSettings` and
`FooUniform`/`FooSettingsUniform` and whether names are abbreviated or
not.
Secondly, the `Settings` post-fix seems unnecessary and a bit confusing
semantically, since it makes it seem like the component is mostly just
auxiliary configuration instead of the core *thing* that actually
enables the feature. This will be an even bigger problem once bundles
like `TemporalAntiAliasBundle` are deprecated in favor of required
components, as users will expect a component named `TemporalAntiAlias`
(or similar), not `TemporalAntiAliasSettings`.
## Solution
Drop the `Settings` post-fix from the component names, and change some
names to be more consistent.
- `AutoExposure`
- `AutoExposureUniform`
- `Bloom`
- `BloomUniform`
- `BloomPrefilter`
- `ChromaticAberration`
- `ContrastAdaptiveSharpening`
- `DepthOfField`
- `DepthOfFieldUniform`
- `DistanceFog`
- `Smaa`, `Fxaa`, `TemporalAntiAliasing` (note: we might want to change
to `Taa`, see "Discussion")
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`
- `ScreenSpaceReflections`
- `VolumetricFog`
I kept the old names as deprecated type aliases to make migration a bit
less painful for users. We should remove them after the next release.
(And let me know if I should just... not add them at all)
I also added some very basic docs for a few types where they were
missing, like on `Fxaa` and `DepthOfField`.
## Discussion
- `TemporalAntiAliasing` is still inconsistent with `Smaa` and `Fxaa`.
Consensus [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1280601167209955431)
seemed to be that renaming to `Taa` would probably be fine, but I think
it's a bit more controversial, and it would've required renaming a lot
of related types like `TemporalAntiAliasNode`,
`TemporalAntiAliasBundle`, and `TemporalAntiAliasPlugin`, so I think
it's better to leave to a follow-up.
- I think `Fog` should probably have a more specific name like
`DistanceFog` considering it seems to be distinct from `VolumetricFog`.
~~This should probably be done in a follow-up though, so I just removed
the `Settings` post-fix for now.~~ (done)
---
## Migration Guide
Many rendering components have been renamed for improved consistency and
clarity.

- `TemporalAntiAliasSettings` → `TemporalAntiAliasing`
- `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusionSettings` → `ScreenSpaceAmbientOcclusion`
- `ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` → `ScreenSpaceReflections`
- `VolumetricFogSettings` → `VolumetricFog`

Original description:
# Objective
The default value for `near` in `OrthographicProjection` should be
different for 2d & 3d.
For 2d using `near = -1000` allows bevy users to build up scenes using
background `z = 0`, and foreground elements `z > 0` similar to css.
However in 3d `near = -1000` results in objects behind the camera being
rendered. Using `near = 0` works for 3d, but forces 2d users to assign
`z <= 0` for rendered elements, putting the background at some arbitrary
negative value.
There is no common value for `near` that doesn't result in a footgun or
usability issue for either 2d or 3d, so they should have separate
values.
There was discussion about other options in the discord
[0](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1154114310042292325),
but splitting `default()` into `default_2d()` and `default_3d()` seemed
like the lowest cost approach.

Adds some methods to assist in building `ShaderStorageBuffer` without
using `bytemuck`. We keep the `&[u8]` constructors since this is still
modeled as a thin wrapper around the buffer descriptor, but should make
it easier to interact with at the cost of an extra allocation in the
`ShaderType` path for the buffer writer.

# Objective
`EntityHash` and related types were moved from `bevy_utils` to
`bevy_ecs` in #11498, but seemed to have been accidentally reintroduced
a week later in #11707.
## Solution
Remove the old leftover code.
---
## Migration Guide
- Uses of `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` now have to be imported from `bevy::ecs::entity`.
### Builder changes
- Increased meshlet max vertices/triangles from 64v/64t to 255v/128t
(meshoptimizer won't allow 256v sadly). This gives us a much greater
percentage of meshlets with max triangle count (128). Still not perfect,
we still end up with some tiny <=10 triangle meshlets that never really
get simplified, but it's progress.
- Removed the error target limit. Now we allow meshoptimizer to simplify
as much as possible. No reason to cap this out, as the cluster culling
code will choose a good LOD level anyways. Again leads to higher quality
LOD trees.
- After some discussion and consulting the Nanite slides again, changed
meshlet group error from _adding_ the max child's error to the group
error, to doing `group_error = max(group_error, max_child_error)`. Error
is already cumulative between LODs as the edges we're collapsing during
simplification get longer each time.
- Bumped the 65% simplification threshold to allow up to 95% of the
original geometry (e.g. accept simplification as valid even if we only
simplified 5% of the triangles). This gives us closer to
log2(initial_meshlet_count) LOD levels, and fewer meshlet roots in the
DAG.
Still more work to be done in the future here. Maybe trying METIS for
meshlet building instead of meshoptimizer.
Using ~8 clusters per group instead of ~4 might also make a big
difference. The Nanite slides say that they have 8-32 meshlets per
group, suggesting some kind of heuristic. Unfortunately meshopt's
compute_cluster_bounds won't work with large groups atm
(https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/discussions/750#discussioncomment-10562641)
so hard to test.
Based on discussion from
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14998,
https://github.com/zeux/meshoptimizer/discussions/750, and discord.
### Runtime changes
- cluster:triangle packed IDs are now stored 25:7 instead of 26:6 bits,
as max triangles per cluster are now 128 instead of 64
- Hardware raster now spawns 128 * 3 vertices instead of 64 * 3 vertices
to account for the new max triangles limit
- Hardware raster now outputs NaN triangles (0 / 0) instead of
zero-positioned triangles for extra vertex invocations over the cluster
triangle count. Shouldn't really be a difference idt, but I did it
anyways.
- Software raster now does 128 threads per workgroup instead of 64
threads. Each thread now loads, projects, and caches a vertex (vertices
0-127), and then if needed does so again (vertices 128-254). Each thread
then rasterizes one of 128 triangles.
- Fixed a bug with `needs_dispatch_remap`. I had the condition backwards
in my last PR, I probably committed it by accident after testing the
non-default code path on my GPU.
Commit 65252bb87 (Consistently use `PI` to specify angles in examples.

This commit adds support for *masks* to the animation graph. A mask is a
set of animation targets (bones) that neither a node nor its descendants
are allowed to animate. Animation targets can be assigned one or more
*mask group*s, which are specific to a single graph. If a node masks out
any mask group that an animation target belongs to, animation curves for
that target will be ignored during evaluation.
The canonical use case for masks is to support characters holding
objects. Typically, character animations will contain hand animations in
the case that the character's hand is empty. (For example, running
animations may close a character's fingers into a fist.) However, when
the character is holding an object, the animation must be altered so
that the hand grips the object.
Bevy currently has no convenient way to handle this. The only workaround
that I can see is to have entirely separate animation clips for
characters' hands and bodies and keep them in sync, which is burdensome
and doesn't match artists' expectations from other engines, which all
effectively have support for masks. However, with mask group support,
this task is simple. We assign each hand to a mask group and parent all
character animations to a node. When a character grasps an object in
hand, we position the fingers as appropriate and then enable the mask
group for that hand in that node. This allows the character's animations
to run normally, while the object remains correctly attached to the
hand.
Note that even with this PR, we won't have support for running separate
animations for a character's hand and the rest of the character. This is
because we're missing additive blending: there's no way to combine the
two masked animations together properly. I intend that to be a follow-up
PR.
The major engines all have support for masks, though the workflow varies
from engine to engine:
* Unity has support for masks [essentially as implemented here], though
with layers instead of a tree. However, when using the Mecanim
("Humanoid") feature, precise control over bones is lost in favor of
predefined muscle groups.
* Unreal has a feature named [*layered blend per bone*]. This allows for
separate blend weights for different bones, effectively achieving masks.
I believe that the combination of blend nodes and masks make Bevy's
animation graph as expressible as that of Unreal, once we have support
for additive blending, though you may have to use more nodes than you
would in Unreal. Moreover, separating out the concepts of "blend weight"
and "which bones this node applies to" seems like a cleaner design than
what Unreal has.
* Godot's `AnimationTree` has the notion of [*blend filters*], which are
essentially the same as masks as implemented in this PR.
Additionally, this patch fixes a bug with weight evaluation whereby
weights weren't properly propagated down to grandchildren, because the
weight evaluation for a node only checked its parent's weight, not its
evaluated weight. I considered submitting this as a separate PR, but
given that this PR refactors that code entirely to support masks and
weights under a unified "evaluated node" concept, I simply included the
fix here.
A new example, `animation_masks`, has been added. It demonstrates how to
toggle masks on and off for specific portions of a skin.
This is part of #14395, but I'm going to defer closing that issue until
we have additive blending.

## Migration Guide
* The serialized format of animation graphs has changed with the
addition of animation masks. To upgrade animation graph RON files, add
`mask` and `mask_groups` fields as appropriate. (They can be safely set
to zero.)
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that can be used as a render
asset, particularly for use with `AsBindGroup`.
Closes: #13658
# Objective
Allow users to create storage buffers in the main world without having
to access the `RenderDevice`. While this resource is technically
available, it's bad form to use in the main world and requires mixing
rendering details with main world code. Additionally, this makes storage
buffers easier to use with `AsBindGroup`, particularly in the following
scenarios:
- Sharing the same buffers between a compute stage and material shader.
We already have examples of this for storage textures (see game of life
example) and these changes allow a similar pattern to be used with
storage buffers.
- Preventing repeated gpu upload (see the previous easier to use `Vec`
`AsBindGroup` option).
- Allow initializing custom materials using `Default`. Previously, the
lack of a `Default` implement for the raw `wgpu::Buffer` type made
implementing a `AsBindGroup + Default` bound difficult in the presence
of buffers.
## Solution
Adds a new `Handle<Storage>` asset type that is prepared into a
`GpuStorageBuffer` render asset. This asset can either be initialized
with a `Vec<u8>` of properly aligned data or with a size hint. Users can
modify the underlying `wgpu::BufferDescriptor` to provide additional
usage flags.
## Migration Guide
The `AsBindGroup` `storage` attribute has been modified to reference the
new `Handle<Storage>` asset instead. Usages of Vec` should be converted
into assets instead.

# Objective
- Fixes#14974
## Solution
- Replace all* instances of `NonZero*` with `NonZero<*>`
## Testing
- CI passed locally.
---
## Notes
Within the `bevy_reflect` implementations for `std` types,
`impl_reflect_value!()` will continue to use the type aliases instead,
as it inappropriately parses the concrete type parameter as a generic
argument. If the `ZeroablePrimitive` trait was stable, or the macro
could be modified to accept a finite list of types, then we could fully
migrate.
# Objective
- Add gizmos integration for the new `Curve` things in the math lib
## Solution
- Add the following methods
- `curve_2d(curve, sample_times, color)`
- `curve_3d(curve, sample_times, color)`
- `curve_gradient_2d(curve, sample_times_with_colors)`
- `curve_gradient_3d(curve, sample_times_with_colors)`
## Testing
- I added examples of the 2D and 3D variants of the gradient curve
gizmos to the gizmos examples.
## Showcase
### 2D
```rust
let domain = Interval::EVERYWHERE;
let curve = function_curve(domain, |t| Vec2::new(t, (t / 25.0).sin() * 100.0));
let resolution = ((time.elapsed_seconds().sin() + 1.0) * 50.0) as usize;
let times_and_colors = (0..=resolution)
.map(|n| n as f32 / resolution as f32)
.map(|t| (t - 0.5) * 600.0)
.map(|t| (t, TEAL.mix(&HOT_PINK, (t + 300.0) / 600.0)));
gizmos.curve_gradient_2d(curve, times_and_colors);
```
### 3D
```rust
let domain = Interval::EVERYWHERE;
let curve = function_curve(domain, |t| {
(Vec2::from((t * 10.0).sin_cos())).extend(t - 6.0)
});
let resolution = ((time.elapsed_seconds().sin() + 1.0) * 100.0) as usize;
let times_and_colors = (0..=resolution)
.map(|n| n as f32 / resolution as f32)
.map(|t| t * 5.0)
.map(|t| (t, TEAL.mix(&HOT_PINK, t / 5.0)));
gizmos.curve_gradient_3d(curve, times_and_colors);
```
# Objective
With the current implementation of `Plane3d` gizmos, it's really hard to
get a good feeling for big planes. Usually I tend to add more axes as a
user but that doesn't scale well and is pretty wasteful. It's hard to
recognize the plane in the distance here. Especially if there would've
been other rendered objects in the scene
## Solution
- Since we got grid gizmos in the mean time, I went ahead and just
reused them here.
## Testing
I added an instance of the new `Plane3D` to the `3d_gizmos.rs` example.
If you want to look at it you need to look around a bit. I didn't
position it in the center since that was too crowded already.
---
## Showcase
## Migration Guide
The optional builder methods on
```rust
gizmos.primitive_3d(&Plane3d { }, ...);
```
changed from
- `segment_length`
- `segment_count`
- `axis_count`
to
- `cell_count`
- `spacing`
# Objective
Since https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14731 is merged, it
unblocked a few utility methods for 2D arcs. In 2D the pendant to
`long_arc_3d_between` and `short_arc_3d_between` are missing. Since
`arc_2d` can be a bit hard to use, this PR is trying to plug some holes
in the `arcs` API.
## Solution
Implement
- `long_arc_2d_between(center, from, tp, color)`
- `short_arc_2d_between(center, from, tp, color)`
## Testing
- There are new doc tests
- The `2d_gizmos` example has been extended a bit to include a few more
arcs which can easily be checked with respect to the grid
---
## Showcase
Code related to the screenshot (from outer = first line to inner = last
line)
```rust
my_gizmos.arc_2d(Isometry2d::IDENTITY, FRAC_PI_2, 80.0, ORANGE_RED);
my_gizmos.short_arc_2d_between(Vec2::ZERO, Vec2::X * 40.0, Vec2::Y * 40.0, ORANGE_RED);
my_gizmos.long_arc_2d_between(Vec2::ZERO, Vec2::X * 20.0, Vec2::Y * 20.0, ORANGE_RED);
```
# Objective
- Solves the last bullet in and closes#14319
- Make better use of the `Isometry` types
- Prevent issues like #14655
- Probably simplify and clean up a lot of code through the use of Gizmos
as well (i.e. the 3D gizmos for cylinders circles & lines don't connect
well, probably due to wrong rotations)
## Solution
- go through the `bevy_gizmos` crate and give all methods a slight
workover
## Testing
- For all the changed examples I run `git switch main && cargo rr
--example <X> && git switch <BRANCH> && cargo rr --example <X>` and
compare the visual results
- Check if all doc tests are still compiling
- Check the docs in general and update them !!!
---
## Migration Guide
The gizmos methods function signature changes as follows:
- 2D
- if it took `position` & `rotation_angle` before ->
`Isometry2d::new(position, Rot2::radians(rotation_angle))`
- if it just took `position` before ->
`Isometry2d::from_translation(position)`
- 3D
- if it took `position` & `rotation` before ->
`Isometry3d::new(position, rotation)`
- if it just took `position` before ->
`Isometry3d::from_translation(position)`
# Objective
Fixes#14883
## Solution
Pretty simple update to `EntityCommands` methods to consume `self` and
return it rather than taking `&mut self`. The things probably worth
noting:
* I added `#[allow(clippy::should_implement_trait)]` to the `add` method
because it causes a linting conflict with `std::ops::Add`.
* `despawn` and `log_components` now return `Self`. I'm not sure if
that's exactly the desired behavior so I'm happy to adjust if that seems
wrong.
## Testing
Tested with `cargo run -p ci`. I think that should be sufficient to call
things good.
## Migration Guide
The most likely migration needed is changing code from this:
```
let mut entity = commands.get_or_spawn(entity);
if depth_prepass {
entity.insert(DepthPrepass);
}
if normal_prepass {
entity.insert(NormalPrepass);
}
if motion_vector_prepass {
entity.insert(MotionVectorPrepass);
}
if deferred_prepass {
entity.insert(DeferredPrepass);
}
```
to this:
```
let mut entity = commands.get_or_spawn(entity);
if depth_prepass {
entity = entity.insert(DepthPrepass);
}
if normal_prepass {
entity = entity.insert(NormalPrepass);
}
if motion_vector_prepass {
entity = entity.insert(MotionVectorPrepass);
}
if deferred_prepass {
entity.insert(DeferredPrepass);
}
```
as can be seen in several of the example code updates here. There will
probably also be instances where mutable `EntityCommands` vars no longer
need to be mutable.
# Objective
Add `bevy_picking` sprite backend as part of the `bevy_mod_picking`
upstreamening (#12365).
## Solution
More or less a copy/paste from `bevy_mod_picking`, with the changes
[here](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking/pull/354). I'm
putting that link here since those changes haven't yet made it through
review, so should probably be reviewed on their own.
## Testing
I couldn't find any sprite-backend-specific tests in `bevy_mod_picking`
and unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Bevy's testing patterns
to write tests for code that relies on windowing and input. I'm willing
to break the pointer hit system into testable blocks and add some more
modular tests if that's deemed important enough to block, otherwise I
can open an issue for adding tests as follow-up.
## Follow-up work
- More docs/tests
- Ignore pick events on transparent sprite pixels with potential opt-out
---------

# Objective
`arc_2d` wasn't actually doing what the docs were saying. The arc wasn't
offset by what was previously `direction_angle` but by `direction_angle
- arc_angle / 2.0`. This meant that the arcs center was laying on the
`Vec2::Y` axis and then it was offset. This was probably done to fit the
behavior of the `Arc2D` primitive. I would argue that this isn't
desirable for the plain `arc_2d` gizmo method since
- a) the docs get longer to explain the weird centering
- b) the mental model the user has to know gets bigger with more
implicit assumptions
given the code
```rust
my_gizmos.arc_2d(Vec2::ZERO, 0.0, FRAC_PI_2, 75.0, ORANGE_RED);
```
we get
where after the fix with
```rust
my_gizmos.arc_2d(Isometry2d::IDENTITY, FRAC_PI_2, 75.0, ORANGE_RED);
```
we get
To get the same result with the previous implementation you would have
to randomly add `arc_angle / 2.0` to the `direction_angle`.
```rust
my_gizmos.arc_2d(Vec2::ZERO, FRAC_PI_4, FRAC_PI_2, 75.0, ORANGE_RED);
```
This makes constructing similar helping functions as they already exist
in 3D like
- `long_arc_2d_between`
- `short_arc_2d_between`
much harder.
## Solution
- Make the arc really start at `Vec2::Y * radius` in counter-clockwise
direction + offset by an angle as the docs state it
- Use `Isometry2d` instead of `position : Vec2` and `direction_angle :
f32` to reduce the chance of messing up rotation/translation
- Adjust the docs for the changes above
- Adjust the gizmo rendering of some primitives
## Testing
- check `2d_gizmos.rs` and `render_primitives.rs` examples
## Migration Guide
- users have to adjust their usages of `arc_2d`:
- before:
```rust
arc_2d(
pos,
angle,
arc_angle,
radius,
color
)
```
- after:
```rust
arc_2d(
// this `+ arc_angle * 0.5` quirk is only if you want to preserve the
previous behavior
// with the new API.
// feel free to try to fix this though since your current calls to this
function most likely
// involve some computations to counter-act that quirk in the first
place
Isometry2d::new(pos, Rot2::radians(angle + arc_angle * 0.5),
arc_angle,
radius,
color
)
```
# Objective
- Faster meshlet rasterization path for small triangles
- Avoid having to allocate and write out a triangle buffer
- Refactor gpu_scene.rs
## Solution
- Replace the 32bit visbuffer texture with a 64bit visbuffer buffer,
where the left 32 bits encode depth, and the right 32 bits encode the
existing cluster + triangle IDs. Can't use 64bit textures, wgpu/naga
doesn't support atomic ops on textures yet.
- Instead of writing out a buffer of packed cluster + triangle IDs (per
triangle) to raster, the culling pass now writes out a buffer of just
cluster IDs (per cluster, so less memory allocated, cheaper to write
out).
- Clusters for software raster are allocated from the left side
- Clusters for hardware raster are allocated in the same buffer, from
the right side
- The buffer size is fixed at MeshletPlugin build time, and should be
set to a reasonable value for your scene (no warning on overflow, and no
good way to determine what value you need outside of renderdoc - I plan
to fix this in a future PR adding a meshlet stats overlay)
- Currently I don't have a heuristic for software vs hardware raster
selection for each cluster. The existing code is just a placeholder. I
need to profile on a release scene and come up with a heuristic,
probably in a future PR.
- The culling shader is getting pretty hard to follow at this point, but
I don't want to spend time improving it as the entire shader/pass is
getting rewritten/replaced in the near future.
- Software raster is a compute workgroup per-cluster. Each workgroup
loads and transforms the <=64 vertices of the cluster, and then
rasterizes the <=64 triangles of the cluster.
- Two variants are implemented: Scanline for clusters with any larger
triangles (still smaller than hardware is good at), and brute-force for
very very tiny triangles
- Once the shader determines that a pixel should be filled in, it does
an atomicMax() on the visbuffer to store the results, copying how Nanite
works
- On devices with a low max workgroups per dispatch limit, an extra
compute pass is inserted before software raster to convert from a 1d to
2d dispatch (I don't think 3d would ever be necessary).
- I haven't implemented the top-left rule or subpixel precision yet, I'm
leaving that for a future PR since I get usable results without it for
now
- Resources used:
https://kristoffer-dyrkorn.github.io/triangle-rasterizer and chapters
6-8 of
https://fgiesen.wordpress.com/2013/02/17/optimizing-sw-occlusion-culling-index
- Hardware raster now spawns 64*3 vertex invocations per meshlet,
instead of the actual meshlet vertex count. Extra invocations just
early-exit.
- While this is slower than the existing system, hardware draws should
be rare now that software raster is usable, and it saves a ton of memory
using the unified cluster ID buffer. This would be fixed if wgpu had
support for mesh shaders.
- Instead of writing to a color+depth attachment, the hardware raster
pass also does the same atomic visbuffer writes that software raster
uses.
- We have to bind a dummy render target anyways, as wgpu doesn't
currently support render passes without any attachments
- Material IDs are no longer written out during the main rasterization
passes.
- If we had async compute queues, we could overlap the software and
hardware raster passes.
- New material and depth resolve passes run at the end of the visbuffer
node, and write out view depth and material ID depth textures
### Misc changes
- Fixed cluster culling importing, but never actually using the previous
view uniforms when doing occlusion culling
- Fixed incorrectly adding the LOD error twice when building the meshlet
mesh
- Splitup gpu_scene module into meshlet_mesh_manager, instance_manager,
and resource_manager
- resource_manager is still too complex and inefficient (extract and
prepare are way too expensive). I plan on improving this in a future PR,
but for now ResourceManager is mostly a 1:1 port of the leftover
MeshletGpuScene bits.
- Material draw passes have been renamed to the more accurate material
shade pass, as well as some other misc renaming (in the future, these
will be compute shaders even, and not actual draw calls)

## Migration Guide
- TBD (ask me at the end of the release for meshlet changes as a whole)

# Objective
Adding more features to `AsBindGroup` proc macro means making the trait
arguments uglier. Downstream implementors of the trait without the proc
macro might want to do different things than our default arguments.
## Solution
Make `AsBindGroup` take an associated `Param` type.
## Migration Guide
`AsBindGroup` now allows the user to specify a `SystemParam` to be used
for creating bind groups.
# Objective
Add a convenience constructor to make simple animation graphs easier to
build.
I've had some notes about attempting this since #11989 that I just
remembered after seeing #14852.
This partially addresses #14852, but I don't really know animation well
enough to write all of the documentation it's asking for.
## Solution
Add `AnimationGraph::from_clips` and use it to simplify `animated_fox`.
Do some other little bits of incidental cleanup and documentation .
## Testing
I ran `cargo run --example animated_fox`.
# Objective
- The examples use a more verbose than necessary way to initialize the
image
- The order of the camera doesn't need to be specified. At least I
didn't see a difference in my testing
## Solution
- Use `Image::new_fill()` to fill the image instead of abusing
`resize()`
- Remove the camera ordering
# Objective
Rewrite screenshotting to be able to accept any `RenderTarget`.
Closes#12478
## Solution
Previously, screenshotting relied on setting a variety of state on the
requested window. When extracted, the window's `swap_chain_texture_view`
property would be swapped out with a texture_view created that frame for
the screenshot pipeline to write back to the cpu.
Besides being tightly coupled to window in a way that prevented
screenshotting other render targets, this approach had the drawback of
relying on the implicit state of `swap_chain_texture_view` being
returned from a `NormalizedRenderTarget` when view targets were
prepared. Because property is set every frame for windows, that wasn't a
problem, but poses a problem for render target images. Namely, to do the
equivalent trick, we'd have to replace the `GpuImage`'s texture view,
and somehow restore it later.
As such, this PR creates a new `prepare_view_textures` system which runs
before `prepare_view_targets` that allows a new `prepare_screenshots`
system to be sandwiched between and overwrite the render targets texture
view if a screenshot has been requested that frame for the given target.
Additionally, screenshotting itself has been changed to use a component
+ observer pattern. We now spawn a `Screenshot` component into the
world, whose lifetime is tracked with a series of marker components.
When the screenshot is read back to the CPU, we send the image over a
channel back to the main world where an observer fires on the screenshot
entity before being despawned the next frame. This allows the user to
access resources in their save callback that might be useful (e.g.
uploading the screenshot over the network, etc.).
## Testing

- [x] Web
- [ ] Manual texture view

# Objective
- There is a flaw in the implementation of `FogVolume`'s
`density_texture_offset` from #14868. Because of the way I am wrapping
the UVW coordinates in the volumetric fog shader, a seam is visible when
the 3d texture is wrapping around from one side to the other:
## Solution
- This PR fixes the issue by removing the wrapping from the shader and
instead leaving it to the user to configure the 3d noise texture to use
`ImageAddressMode::Repeat` if they want it to repeat. Using
`ImageAddressMode::Repeat` is the proper solution to avoid the obvious
seam:
- The sampler cannot be implicitly configured to use
`ImageAddressMode::Repeat` because that's not always desirable. For
example, the `fog_volumes` example wouldn't work properly because the
texture from the edges of the volume would overflow to the other sides,
which would be bad in this instance (but it's good in the case of the
`scrolling_fog` example). So leaving it to the user to decide on their
own whether they want the density texture to repeat seems to be the best
solution.
## Testing
- The `scrolling_fog` example still looks the same, it was just changed
to explicitly declare that the density texture should be repeating when
loading the asset. The `fog_volumes` example is unaffected.

# Objective
This example previously had kind of a needlessly complex state machine
that tracked moves between its previous orientation and the new one that
was randomly generated. Using `smooth_nudge` simplifies the example in
addition to making good use of the new API.
## Solution
Use `smooth_nudge` to transition between the current transform and the
new one. This does away with the need to keep track of the move's
starting position and progress. It also just sort of looks nicer.
## Testing
Run the `align` example:
`cargo run --example align`
# Objective
- Fixes#14873, see that issue for a whole lot of context
## Solution
- Add a blessed system set for this stuff. See [this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749335865876021248/1276262931327094908).
Note that the gizmo systems,
[LWIM](https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/pull/522/files#diff-9b59ee4899ad0a5d008889ea89a124a7291316532e42f9f3d6ae842b906fb095R154)
and now a new plugin I'm working on are all already ordering against
`run_fixed_main_schedule`, so having a dedicated system set should be
more robust and hopefully also more discoverable.
---
## ~~Showcase~~
~~I can add a little video of a smooth camera later if this gets merged
:)~~
Apparently a release note is not needed, so I'll leave it out. See the
changes in the fixed timestep example for usage showcase and the video
in #14873 for a more or less accurate video of the effect (it does not
use the same solution though, so it is not quite the same)
## Migration Guide
[run_fixed_main_schedule](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/time/fn.run_fixed_main_schedule.html)
is no longer public. If you used to order against it, use the new
dedicated `RunFixedMainLoopSystem` system set instead. You can replace
your usage of `run_fixed_main_schedule` one for one by
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::FixedMainLoop`, but it is now more idiomatic to
place your systems in either
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop` or
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::AfterFixedMainLoop`
Old:
```rust

# Objective
- The goal of this PR is to make it possible to move the density texture
of a `FogVolume` over time in order to create dynamic effects like fog
moving in the wind.
- You could theoretically move the `FogVolume` itself, but this is not
ideal, because the `FogVolume` AABB would eventually leave the area. If
you want an area to remain foggy while also creating the impression that
the fog is moving in the wind, a scrolling density texture is a better
solution.
## Solution
- The PR adds a `density_texture_offset` field to the `FogVolume`
component. This offset is in the UVW coordinates of the density texture,
meaning that a value of `(0.5, 0.0, 0.0)` moves the 3d texture by half
along the x-axis.
- Values above 1.0 are wrapped, a 1.5 offset is the same as a 0.5
offset. This makes it so that the density texture wraps around on the
other side, meaning that a repeating 3d noise texture can seamlessly
scroll forever. It also makes it easy to move the density texture over
time by simply increasing the offset every frame.
## Testing
- A `scrolling_fog` example has been added to demonstrate the feature.
It uses the offset to scroll a repeating 3d noise density texture to
create the impression of fog moving in the wind.
- The camera is looking at a pillar with the sun peaking behind it. This
highlights the effect the changing density has on the volumetric
lighting interactions.
- Temporal anti-aliasing combined with the `jitter` option of
`VolumetricFogSettings` is used to improve the quality of the effect.

# Objective
Fixes#14782
## Solution
Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?
Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.
Fix `mesh2d_manual` example from changes in #13069.

```
# Objective
One of the changes in #14704 made `DynamicFunction` effectively the same
as `DynamicClosure<'static>`. This change meant that the de facto
function type would likely be `DynamicClosure<'static>` instead of the
intended `DynamicFunction`, since the former is much more flexible.
We _could_ explore ways of making `DynamicFunction` implement `Copy`
using some unsafe code, but it likely wouldn't be worth it. And users
would likely still reach for the convenience of
`DynamicClosure<'static>` over the copy-ability of `DynamicFunction`.
The goal of this PR is to fix this confusion between the two types.
## Solution
Firstly, the `DynamicFunction` type was removed. Again, it was no
different than `DynamicClosure<'static>` so it wasn't a huge deal to
remove.
Secondly, `DynamicClosure<'env>` and `DynamicClosureMut<'env>` were
renamed to `DynamicFunction<'env>` and `DynamicFunctionMut<'env>`,
respectively.
Yes, we still ultimately kept the naming of `DynamicFunction`, but
changed its behavior to that of `DynamicClosure<'env>`. We need a term
to refer to both functions and closures, and "function" was the best
option.
[Originally](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274091992162242710),
I was going to go with "callable" as the replacement term to encompass
both functions and closures (e.g. `DynamciCallable<'env>`). However, it
was
[suggested](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274653581777047625)
by @SkiFire13 that the simpler "function" term could be used instead.
While "callable" is perhaps the better umbrella term—being truly
ambiguous over functions and closures— "function" is more familiar, used
more often, easier to discover, and is subjectively just
"better-sounding".
## Testing
Most changes are purely swapping type names or updating documentation,
but you can verify everything still works by running the following
command:

# Objective
- Bevy now supports an opaque phase for mesh2d, but it's very common for
2d textures to have a transparent alpha channel.
## Solution
- Add an alpha mask phase identical to the one in 3d. It will do the
alpha masking in the shader before drawing the mesh.
- Uses the BinnedRenderPhase
- Since it's an opaque draw it also correctly writes to depth
## Testing
- Tested the mes2d_alpha_mode example and the bevymark example with
alpha mask mode enabled
---
## Showcase
The white logo on the right is rendered with alpha mask enabled.
Running the bevymark example I can get 65fps for 120k mesh2d all using
alpha mask.

# Objective
- Wireframe plugins have inconsistencies between 3D and 2D versions.

- 2d version uses `Srgba` for colors, 3d version uses `Color`.
## Solution
- This PR brings consistency by doing the following change
- `Wireframe2d` now uses `Color` instead of `Srgba`
## Testing
- `wireframe_2d` and `wireframe` examples were verified and they work as
before.
---
## Migration Guide
- `Wireframe2dConfig`.`default_color` type is now `Color` instead of
`Srgba`. Use `.into()` to convert between them.
- `Wireframe2dColor`.`color` type is now `Color` instead of `Srgba`. Use

# Objective
- Implements the [Unique Reflect
RFC](https://github.com/nicopap/rfcs/blob/bevy-reflect-api/rfcs/56-better-reflect.md).
## Solution
- Implements the RFC.
- This implementation differs in some ways from the RFC:
- In the RFC, it was suggested `Reflect: Any` but `PartialReflect:
?Any`. During initial implementation I tried this, but we assume the
`PartialReflect: 'static` in a lot of places and the changes required
crept out of the scope of this PR.
- `PartialReflect::try_into_reflect` originally returned `Option<Box<dyn
Reflect>>` but i changed this to `Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, Box<dyn
PartialReflect>>` since the method takes by value and otherwise there
would be no way to recover the type. `as_full` and `as_full_mut` both
still return `Option<&(mut) dyn Reflect>`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `PartialReflect`.
- `Reflect` is now a subtrait of `PartialReflect`.
- Moved most methods on `Reflect` to the new `PartialReflect`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect}`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}`.
- Added `<dyn PartialReflect>::{try_downcast_ref, try_downcast_mut,
try_downcast, try_take}` supplementing the methods on `dyn Reflect`.
## Migration Guide
- Most instances of `dyn Reflect` should be changed to `dyn
PartialReflect` which is less restrictive, however trait bounds should
generally stay as `T: Reflect`.
- The new `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect, try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}` methods as well as `Reflect::{as_reflect,
as_reflect_mut, into_reflect}` will need to be implemented for manual
implementors of `Reflect`.
## Future Work
- This PR is designed to be followed up by another "Unique Reflect Phase
2" that addresses the following points:
- Investigate making serialization revolve around `Reflect` instead of
`PartialReflect`.
- [Remove the `try_*` methods on `dyn PartialReflect` since they are
stop
gaps](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7207#discussion_r1083476050).
- Investigate usages like `ReflectComponent`. In the places they
currently use `PartialReflect`, should they be changed to use `Reflect`?
- Merging this opens the door to lots of reflection features we haven't
been able to implement.
- We could re-add [the `Reflectable`
trait](8e3488c880/crates/bevy_reflect/src/reflect.rs (L337-L342))
and make `FromReflect` a requirement to improve [`FromReflect`
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/59). This is
currently not possible because dynamic types cannot sensibly be
`FromReflect`.
- Since this is an alternative to #5772, #5781 would be made cleaner.

# Objective
- Add custom images as cursors
- Fixes#9557
## Solution
- Change cursor type to accommodate both native and image cursors
- I don't really like this solution because I couldn't use
`Handle<Image>` directly. I would need to import `bevy_assets` and that
causes a circular dependency. Alternatively we could use winit's
`CustomCursor` smart pointers, but that seems hard because the event
loop is needed to create those and is not easily accessable for users.
So now I need to copy around rgba buffers which is sad.
- I use a cache because especially on the web creating cursor images is
really slow
- Sorry to #14196 for yoinking, I just wanted to make a quick solution
for myself and thought that I should probably share it too.
Update:
- Now uses `Handle<Image>`, reads rgba data in `bevy_render` and uses
resources to send the data to `bevy_winit`, where the final cursors are
created.
## Testing
- Added example which works fine at least on Linux Wayland (winit side
has been tested with all platforms).
- I haven't tested if the url cursor works.
## Migration Guide
- `CursorIcon` is no longer a field in `Window`, but a separate
component can be inserted to a window entity. It has been changed to an
enum that can hold custom images in addition to system icons.
- `Cursor` is renamed to `CursorOptions` and `cursor` field of `Window`
is renamed to `cursor_options`
- `CursorIcon` is renamed to `SystemCursorIcon`

`IntoIterator for &DynamicSet`.

### TL;DR
#14098 added the `FunctionRegistry` but had some last minute
complications due to anonymous functions. It ended up going with a
"required name" approach to ensure anonymous functions would always have
a name.
However, this approach isn't ideal for named functions since, by
definition, they will always have a name.
Therefore, this PR aims to modify function reflection such that we can
make function registration easier for named functions, while still
allowing anonymous functions to be registered as well.
### Context
Function registration (#14098) ran into a little problem: anonymous
functions.
Anonymous functions, including function pointers, have very non-unique
type names. For example, the anonymous function `|a: i32, b: i32| a + b`
has the type name of `fn(i32, i32) -> i32`. This obviously means we'd
conflict with another function like `|a: i32, b: i32| a - b`.
The solution that #14098 landed on was to always require a name during
function registration.
The downside with this is that named functions (e.g. `fn add(a: i32, b:
i32) -> i32 { a + b }`) had to redundantly provide a name. Additionally,
manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s also ran into this ergonomics
issue.
I don't entirely know how the function registry will be used, but I have
a strong suspicion that most of its registrations will either be named
functions or manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s, with anonymous
functions only being used here and there for quick prototyping or adding
small functionality.
Why then should the API prioritize the anonymous function use case by
always requiring a name during registration?
#### Telling Functions Apart
Rust doesn't provide a lot of out-of-the-box tools for reflecting
functions. One of the biggest hurdles in attempting to solve the problem
outlined above would be to somehow tell the different kinds of functions
apart.
Let's briefly recap on the categories of functions in Rust:
| Category | Example |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Named function | `fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b }` |
| Closure | `\|a: i32\| a + captured_variable` |
| Anonymous function | `\|a: i32, b: i32\| a + b` |
| Function pointer | `fn(i32, i32) -> i32` |
My first thought was to try and differentiate these categories based on
their size. However, we can see that this doesn't quite work:
| Category | `size_of` |
| ------------------ | --------- |
| Named function | 0 |
| Closure | 0+ |
| Anonymous function | 0 |
| Function pointer | 8 |
Not only does this not tell anonymous functions from named ones, but it
struggles with pretty much all of them.
My second then was to differentiate based on type name:
| Category | `type_name` |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Named function | `foo::bar::baz` |
| Closure | `foo::bar::{{closure}}` |
| Anonymous function | `fn() -> String` |
| Function pointer | `fn() -> String` |
This is much better. While it can't distinguish between function
pointers and anonymous functions, this doesn't matter too much since we
only care about whether we can _name_ the function.
So why didn't we implement this in #14098?
#### Relying on `type_name`
While this solution was known about while working on #14098, it was left
out from that PR due to it being potentially controversial.
The [docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/any/fn.type_name.html)
for `std::any::type_name` state:
> The returned string must not be considered to be a unique identifier
of a type as multiple types may map to the same type name. Similarly,
there is no guarantee that all parts of a type will appear in the
returned string: for example, lifetime specifiers are currently not
included. In addition, the output may change between versions of the
compiler.
So that's it then? We can't use `type_name`?
Well, this statement isn't so much a rule as it is a guideline. And Bevy
is no stranger to bending the rules to make things work or to improve
ergonomics. Remember that before `TypePath`, Bevy's scene system was
entirely dependent on `type_name`. Not to mention that `type_name` is
being used as a key into both the `TypeRegistry` and the
`FunctionRegistry`.
Bevy's practices aside, can we reliably use `type_name` for this?
My answer would be "yes".
Anonymous functions are anonymous. They have no name. There's nothing
Rust could do to give them a name apart from generating a random string
of characters. But remember that this is a diagnostic tool, it doesn't
make sense to obfuscate the type by randomizing the output. So changing
it to be anything other than what it is now is very unlikely.
The only changes that I could potentially see happening are:
1. Closures replace `{{closure}}` with the name of their variable
2. Lifetimes are included in the output
I don't think the first is likely to happen, but if it does then it
actually works out in our favor: closures are now named!
The second point is probably the likeliest. However, adding lifetimes
doesn't mean we can't still rely on `type_name` to determine whether or
not a function is named. So we should be okay in this case as well.
## Solution
Parse the `type_name` of the function in the `TypedFunction` impl to
determine if the function is named or anonymous.
This once again makes `FunctionInfo::name` optional. For manual
constructions of `DynamicFunction`, `FunctionInfo::named` or
``FunctionInfo::anonymous` can be used.
The `FunctionRegistry` API has also been reworked to account for this
change.
`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer takes a name and instead takes it
from the supplied function, returning a
`FunctionRegistrationError::MissingName` error if the name is `None`.
This also doubles as a replacement for the old
`FunctionRegistry::register_dynamic` method, which has been removed.
To handle anonymous functions, a `FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`
method has been added. This works in the same way
`FunctionRegistry::register` used to work before this PR.
The overwriting methods have been updated in a similar manner, with
modifications to `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration`, the removal
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_dynamic`, and the addition
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_with_name`.
This PR also updates the methods on `App` in a similar way:
`App::register_function` no longer requires a name argument and
`App::register_function_with_name` has been added to handle anonymous
functions (and eventually closures).
## Testing
You can run the tests locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --features functions

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
> [!note]
> This list is not exhaustive. It only contains some of the most
important changes.
`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer requires a name string for named
functions. Anonymous functions, however, need to be registered using
`FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`.
```rust
// BEFORE
registry
.register(std::any::type_name_of_val(&foo), foo)?
.register("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
// AFTER
registry
.register(foo)?
.register_with_name("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
```
`FunctionInfo::name` is now optional. Anonymous functions and closures
will now have their name set to `None` by default. Additionally,
`FunctionInfo::new` has been renamed to `FunctionInfo::named`.
This PR is based on top of #12982
# Objective
- Mesh2d currently only has an alpha blended phase. Most sprites don't
need transparency though.
- For some 2d games it can be useful to have a 2d depth buffer
## Solution
- Add an opaque phase to render Mesh2d that don't need transparency
- This phase currently uses the `SortedRenderPhase` to make it easier to
implement based on the already existing transparent phase. A follow up
PR will switch this to `BinnedRenderPhase`.
- Add a 2d depth buffer
- Use that depth buffer in the transparent phase to make sure that
sprites and transparent mesh2d are displayed correctly
## Testing
I added the mesh2d_transforms example that layers many opaque and
transparent mesh2d to make sure they all get displayed correctly. I also
confirmed it works with sprites by modifying that example locally.

## Changelog
- Added `AlphaMode2d`
- Added `Opaque2d` render phase
- Camera2d now have a `ViewDepthTexture` component
## Migration Guide
- `ColorMaterial` now contains `AlphaMode2d`. To keep previous
behaviour, use `AlphaMode::BLEND`. If you know your sprite is opaque,
use `AlphaMode::OPAQUE`

# Objective
#13152 added support for reflecting functions. Now, we need a way to
register those functions such that they may be accessed anywhere within
the ECS.
## Solution
Added a `FunctionRegistry` type similar to `TypeRegistry`.
This allows a function to be registered and retrieved by name.
```rust
fn foo() -> i32 {
123
}
let mut registry = FunctionRegistry::default();
registry.register("my_function", foo);
let function = registry.get_mut("my_function").unwrap();
let value = function.call(ArgList::new()).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&123));
```
Additionally, I added an `AppFunctionRegistry` resource which wraps a
`FunctionRegistryArc`. Functions can be registered into this resource
using `App::register_function` or by getting a mutable reference to the
resource itself.
### Limitations
#### `Send + Sync`
In order to get this registry to work across threads, it needs to be
`Send + Sync`. This means that `DynamicFunction` needs to be `Send +
Sync`, which means that its internal function also needs to be `Send +
Sync`.
In most cases, this won't be an issue because standard Rust functions
(the type most likely to be registered) are always `Send + Sync`.
Additionally, closures tend to be `Send + Sync` as well, granted they
don't capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables.
This PR adds this `Send + Sync` requirement, but as mentioned above, it
hopefully shouldn't be too big of an issue.
#### Closures
Unfortunately, closures can't be registered yet. This will likely be
explored and added in a followup PR.
### Future Work
Besides addressing the limitations listed above, another thing we could
look into is improving the lookup of registered functions. One aspect is
in the performance of hashing strings. The other is in the developer
experience of having to call `std::any::type_name_of_val` to get the
name of their function (assuming they didn't give it a custom name).
## Testing
You can run the tests locally with:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect

## Changelog
- Added `FunctionRegistry`
- Added `AppFunctionRegistry` (a `Resource` available from `bevy_ecs`)
- Added `FunctionRegistryArc`
- Added `FunctionRegistrationError`
- Added `reflect_functions` feature to `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`
- `FunctionInfo` is no longer `Default`
- `DynamicFunction` now requires its wrapped function be `Send + Sync`
## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
`DynamicFunction` (both those created manually and those created with
`IntoFunction`), now require `Send + Sync`. All standard Rust functions
should meet that requirement. Closures, on the other hand, may not if
they capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables from its environment.
# Objective
- Fixes#14595
## Solution
- Use `num_cascades: 1` in WebGL build.
`CascadeShadowConfigBuilder::default()` gives this number in WebGL:
8235daaea0/crates/bevy_pbr/src/light/mod.rs (L241-L248)
## Testing
- Tested the modified example in WebGL with Firefox/Chrome

# Objective
This idea came up in the context of a hypothetical "text sections as
entities" where text sections are children of a text bundle.
```rust
commands
.spawn(TextBundle::default())
.with_children(|parent} {
parent.spawn(TextSection::from("Hello"));
});
```
This is a bit cumbersome (but powerful and probably the way things are
headed). [`bsn!`](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
will eventually make this nicer, but in the mean time, this might
improve ergonomics for the common case where there is only one
`TextSection`.
## Solution
Add a `with_child` method to the `BuildChildren` trait that spawns a
single bundle and adds it as a child to the entity.
```rust
commands
.spawn(TextBundle::default())
.with_child(TextSection::from("Hello"));
```
## Testing
I added some tests, and modified the `button` example to use the new
method.
If any potential co-authors want to improve the tests, that would be
great.
## Alternatives
- Some sort of macro. See
https://github.com/tigregalis/bevy_spans_ent/blob/main/examples/macro.rs#L20.
I don't love this, personally, and it would probably be obsoleted by
`bsn!`.
- Wait for `bsn!`
- Add `with_children_batch` that takes an `Into<Iterator>` of bundles.
```rust
with_children_batch(vec![TextSection::from("Hello")])
```
This is maybe not as useful as it sounds -- it only works with
homogeneous bundles, so no marker components or styles.
- If this doesn't seem valuable, doing nothing is cool with me.
# Objective
- A lot of mid-level rendering apis are hard to figure out because they
don't have any examples
- SpecializedMeshPipeline can be really useful in some cases when you
want more flexibility than a Material without having to go to low level
apis.
## Solution
- Add an example showing how to make a custom `SpecializedMeshPipeline`.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?

# Objective
Similar to #14537 , this fixes a minor lint issue causing CI failures
when using nightly toolchain.
## Solution
Add `#[allow(dead_code)]` to unused sample code.
## Testing
`cargo run -p ci -- lints` using 1.82 toolchain.
# Objective
- Fixes#11219
## Solution
- Scaling calculations use texture dimensions instead of layout
dimensions.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
All UI examples look fine.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?

```
```diff
let computed_slices = ComputedTextureSlices {
slices,

```
# Objective
- Make it possible to know *what* changed your component or resource.
- Common need when debugging, when you want to know the last code
location that mutated a value in the ECS.
- This feature would be very useful for the editor alongside system
stepping.
## Solution
- Adds the caller location to column data.
- Mutations now `track_caller` all the way up to the public API.
- Commands that invoke these functions immediately call
`Location::caller`, and pass this into the functions, instead of the
functions themselves attempting to get the caller. This would not work
for commands which are deferred, as the commands are executed by the
scheduler, not the user's code.
## Testing
- The `component_change_detection` example now shows where the component
was mutated:
```
2024-07-28T06:57:48.946022Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(0.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.004371Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(1.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.012738Z WARN component_change_detection: Change detected!
-> value: Ref(MyComponent(1.0))
-> added: false
-> changed: true
-> changed by: examples/ecs/component_change_detection.rs:36:23
```
- It's also possible to inspect change location from a debugger:

## Changelog
- Added source locations to ECS change detection behind the
`track_change_detection` flag.
## Migration Guide
- Added `changed_by` field to many internal ECS functions used with
change detection when the `track_change_detection` feature flag is
enabled. Use Location::caller() to provide the source of the function
call.

# Objective
Use the new `AccumulatedMouseMotion` and `AccumulatedMouseScroll`
resources in place of mouse event handling.
I left the `mouse_input_events` example alone, since by its nature it
demonstrates event detection.
Fixes#14066
## Testing
Ran each example locally before and after changes.
# Objective
Previously, this area of bevy_math used raw translation and rotations to
encode isometries, which did not exist earlier. The goal of this PR is
to make the codebase of bevy_math more harmonious by using actual
isometries (`Isometry2d`/`Isometry3d`) in these places instead — this
will hopefully make the interfaces more digestible for end-users, in
addition to facilitating conversions.
For instance, together with the addition of #14478, this means that a
bounding box for a collider with an isometric `Transform` can be
computed as
```rust
collider.aabb_3d(collider_transform.to_isometry())
```
instead of using manual destructuring.
## Solution
- The traits `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` now use `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` (respectively) instead of `translation` and `rotation`
parameters; e.g.:
```rust
/// A trait with methods that return 3D bounding volumes for a shape.
pub trait Bounded3d {
/// Get an axis-aligned bounding box for the shape translated and
rotated by the given isometry.
fn aabb_3d(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> Aabb3d;
/// Get a bounding sphere for the shape translated and rotated by the
given isometry.
fn bounding_sphere(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> BoundingSphere;
}
```
- Similarly, the `from_point_cloud` constructors for axis-aligned
bounding boxes and bounding circles/spheres now take isometries instead
of separate `translation` and `rotation`; e.g.:
```rust
/// Computes the smallest [`Aabb3d`] containing the given set of points,
/// transformed by the rotation and translation of the given isometry.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Panics if the given set of points is empty.
#[inline(always)]
pub fn from_point_cloud(
isometry: Isometry3d,
points: impl Iterator<Item = impl Into<Vec3A>>,
) -> Aabb3d { //... }
```
This has a couple additional results:
1. The end-user no longer interacts directly with `Into<Vec3A>` or
`Into<Rot2>` parameters; these conversions all happen earlier now,
inside the isometry types.
2. Similarly, almost all intermediate `Vec3 -> Vec3A` conversions have
been eliminated from the `Bounded3d` implementations for primitives.
This probably has some performance benefit, but I have not measured it
as of now.
## Testing
Existing unit tests help ensure that nothing has been broken in the
refactor.
---
## Migration Guide
The `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` traits now take `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` parameters (respectively) instead of separate translation
and rotation arguments. Existing calls to `aabb_2d`, `bounding_circle`,
`aabb_3d`, and `bounding_sphere` will have to be changed to use
isometries instead. A straightforward conversion is to refactor just by
calling `Isometry2d/3d::new`, as follows:
```rust
// Old:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(my_translation, my_rotation);
// New:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(Isometry2d::new(my_translation, my_rotation));
```
However, if the old translation and rotation are 3d
translation/rotations originating from a `Transform` or
`GlobalTransform`, then `to_isometry` may be used instead. For example:
```rust
// Old:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.translation, shape_transform.rotation);
// New:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.to_isometry());
```
This discussion also applies to the `from_point_cloud` construction
method of `Aabb2d`/`BoundingCircle`/`Aabb3d`/`BoundingSphere`, which has
similarly been altered to use isometries.
# Objective
Previously, our cubic spline constructors would produce
`CubicCurve`/`RationalCurve` output with no data when they themselves
didn't hold enough control points to produce a well-formed curve.
Attempting to sample the resulting empty "curves" (e.g. by calling
`CubicCurve::position`) would crash the program (😓).
The objectives of this PR are:
1. Ensure that the curve output of `bevy_math`'s spline constructions
are never invalid as data.
2. Provide a type-level guarantee that `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve`
actually function as curves.
## Solution
This has a few pieces. Firstly, the curve generator traits
`CubicGenerator`, `CyclicCubicGenerator`, and `RationalGenerator` are
now fallible — they have associated error types, and the
curve-generation functions are allowed to fail:
```rust
/// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cubic curve from their spline parameters.
pub trait CubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> {
/// An error type indicating why construction might fail.
type Error;
/// Build a [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment.
fn to_curve(&self) -> Result<CubicCurve<P>, Self::Error>;
}
```
All existing spline constructions use this together with errors that
indicate when they didn't have the right control data and provide curves
which have at least one segment whenever they return an `Ok` variant.
Next, `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` have been blessed with a
guarantee that their internal array of segments (`segments`) is never
empty. In particular, this field is no longer public, so that invalid
curves cannot be built using struct instantiation syntax. To compensate
for this shortfall for users (in particular library authors who might
want to implement their own generators), there is a new method
`from_segments` on these for constructing a curve from a list of
segments, failing if the list is empty:
```rust
/// Create a new curve from a collection of segments. If the collection of segments is empty,
/// a curve cannot be built and `None` will be returned instead.
pub fn from_segments(segments: impl Into<Vec<CubicSegment<P>>>) -> Option<Self> { //... }
```
All existing methods on `CyclicCurve` and `CubicCurve` maintain the
invariant, so the direct construction of invalid values by users is
impossible.
## Testing
Run unit tests from `bevy_math::cubic_splines`. Additionally, run the
`cubic_splines` example and try to get it to crash using small numbers
of control points: it uses the fallible constructors directly, so if
invalid data is ever constructed, it is basically guaranteed to crash.
---
## Migration Guide
The `to_curve` method on Bevy's cubic splines is now fallible (returning
a `Result`), meaning that any existing calls will need to be updated by
handling the possibility of an error variant.
Similarly, any custom implementation of `CubicGenerator` or
`RationalGenerator` will need to be amended to include an `Error` type
and be made fallible itself.
Finally, the fields of `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` are now private,
so any direct constructions of these structs from segments will need to
be replaced with the new `CubicCurve::from_segments` and
`RationalCurve::from_segments` methods.
---
## Design
The main thing to justify here is the choice for the curve internals to
remain the same. After all, if they were able to cause crashes in the
first place, it's worth wondering why safeguards weren't put in place on
the types themselves to prevent that.
My view on this is that the problem was really that the internals of
these methods implicitly relied on the assumption that the value they
were operating on was *actually a curve*, when this wasn't actually
guaranteed. Now, it's possible to make a bunch of small changes inside
the curve struct methods to account for that, but I think that's worse
than just guaranteeing that the data is valid upstream — sampling is
about as hot a code path as we're going to get in this area, and hitting
an additional branch every time it happens just to check that the struct
contains valid data is probably a waste of resources.
Another way of phrasing this is that even if we're only interested in
solving the crashes, the curve's validity needs to be checked at some
point, and it's almost certainly better to do this once at the point of
construction than every time the curve is sampled.
In cases where the control data is supplied dynamically, users would
already have to deal with empty curve outputs basically not working.
Anecdotally, I ran into this while writing the `cubic_splines` example,
and I think the diff illustrates the improvement pretty nicely — the
code no longer has to anticipate whether the output will be good or not;
it just has to handle the `Result`.
The cost of all this, of course, is that we have to guarantee that the
new invariant is actually maintained whenever we extend the API.
However, for the most part, I don't expect users to want to do much
surgery on the internals of their curves anyway.
# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.

## Changelog
- The source code viewer on docs.rs now includes links to the

# Objective
I just wanted to inspect `HashSet`s in `bevy-inspector-egui` but I
noticed that it didn't work for some reason. A few minutes later I found
myself looking into the bevy reflect impls noticing that `HashSet`s have
been covered only rudimentary up until now.
## Solution
I'm not sure if this is overkill (especially the first bullet), but
here's a list of the changes:
- created a whole new trait and enum variants for `ReflectRef` and the
like called `Set`
- mostly oriented myself at the `Map` trait and made the necessary
changes until RA was happy
- create macro `impl_reflect_for_hashset!` and call it on `std::HashSet`
and `hashbrown::HashSet`
Extra notes:
- no `get_mut` or `get_mut_at` mirroring the `std::HashSet`
- `insert[_boxed]` and `remove` return `bool` mirroring `std::HashSet`,
additionally that bool is reflect as I thought that would be how we
handle things in bevy reflect, but I'm not sure on this
- ser/de are handled via `SeqAccess`
- I'm not sure about the general deduplication property of this impl of
`Set` that is generally expected? I'm also not sure yet if `Map` does
provide this. This mainly refers to the `Dynamic[...]` structs
- I'm not sure if there are other methods missing from the `trait`, I
felt like `contains` or the set-operations (union/diff/...) could've
been helpful, but I wanted to get out the bare minimum for feedback
first
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `Set` trait for `bevy_reflect`
### Changed
- `std::collections::HashSet` and `bevy_utils::hashbrown::HashSet` now
implement a more complete set of reflect functionalities instead of
"just" `reflect_value`
- `TypeInfo` contains a new variant `Set` that contains `SetInfo`
- `ReflectKind` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectRef` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectMut` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectOwned` contains a new variant `Set`
## Migration Guide
- The new `Set` variants on the enums listed in the change section
should probably be considered by people working with this level of the
lib
### Help wanted!
I'm not sure if this change is able to break code. From my understanding
it shouldn't since we just add functionality but I'm not sure yet if
theres anything missing from my impl that would be normally provided by
`impl_reflect_value!`
# Objective
- It's possible to have errors in a draw command, but these errors are
ignored
## Solution
- Return a result with the error
## Changelog
Renamed `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to `RenderCommandResult::Skip`
Added a `reason` string parameter to `RenderCommandResult::Failure`
## Migration Guide
If you were using `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to just ignore an error
and retry later, use `RenderCommandResult::Skip` instead.
This wasn't intentional, but this PR should also help with
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12660 since we can turn a few
unwraps into error messages now.

## Testing
Ran a variety of examples to ensure that nothing broke.
TODO:
- [ ] Make sure android still works per previous comment in
`extract_windows`.

## Objective
Make the docs say the right thing.
## Solution
Edit the docs so they say the right thing.
Seems like overtime the example has changed but the comment did not
change with it. It originally was a AND but is now an OR.
# Objective
When the user renders multiple cameras to the same output texture, it
can sometimes be confusing what `ClearColorConfig` is necessary for each
camera to avoid overwriting the previous camera's output. This is
particular true in cases where the user uses mixed HDR cameras, which
means that their scene is being rendered to different internal textures.
## Solution
When a view has a configured viewport, set the GPU scissor in the
upscaling node so we don't overwrite areas that were written to by other
cameras.
## Testing
Ran the `split_screen` example.
# Objective
Fixes#7433
Alternative to #14323
## Solution
Add `DefaultPlugins` so we actually have tracing spans when using
`trace_tracy` or `trace_chrome`.
## Testing
```
cargo run --release --features trace_tracy --example transform_hierarchy large_tree
```
This now connects to Tracy and sends a bunch of data.
# Objective
- Fixes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14036
## Solution
- Add a world space transformation for the environment sample direction.
## Testing
- I have tested the newly added `transform` field using the newly added
`rotate_environment_map` example.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2de77c65-14bc-48ee-b76a-fb4e9782dbdb
## Migration Guide
- Since we have added a new filed to the `EnvironmentMapLight` struct,
users will need to include `..default()` or some rotation value in their
initialization code.
# Objective
Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing
users to easily build cyclic curves from control data.
## Solution
Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new
`CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses
splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its
signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic`
just yields a `CubicCurve`:
```rust
/// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters.
///
/// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically.
pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> {
/// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment.
fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>;
}
```
This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`,
`CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`:

(Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as
green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.)
These curves are all parametrized so that the output of `to_curve` and
the output of `to_curve_cyclic` are similar. For instance, in
`CubicCardinalSpline`, the first output segment is a curve segment
joining the first and second control points in each, although it is
constructed differently. In the other cases, the segments from
`to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new
segments appearing at the end.
## Testing
I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked
reasonable. Existing tests are intact for splines where previous code
was modified. (Note that the coefficient computation for cyclic spline
segments is almost verbatim identical to that of their non-cyclic
counterparts.)
The Bezier benchmarks also look fine.
---
## Changelog
- Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for
creating cyclic curves from control data.
- Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`,
`CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`.
- `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`.
---
## Discussion
### Design decisions
The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place:
namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old
structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase
discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed
unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating
something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data
is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end
result for the user is basically the same either way.
Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic`
to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in
the future may be useful. See below.
A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not
implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled —
`CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its
end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In
all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here,
the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows
the semantics of the associated spline construction.
### Future direction
There are two main things here:
1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for
NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I
regarded this as out of scope for the PR.
2. We may eventually want to change the output type of
`CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the
cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because
I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually
has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic
curves, this might be worth pursuing.
This commit uses the [`offset-allocator`] crate to combine vertex and
index arrays from different meshes into single buffers. Since the
primary source of `wgpu` overhead is from validation and synchronization
when switching buffers, this significantly improves Bevy's rendering
performance on many scenes.
This patch is a more flexible version of #13218, which also used slabs.
Unlike #13218, which used slabs of a fixed size, this commit implements
slabs that start small and can grow. In addition to reducing memory
usage, supporting slab growth reduces the number of vertex and index
buffer switches that need to happen during rendering, leading to
improved performance. To prevent pathological fragmentation behavior,
slabs are capped to a maximum size, and mesh arrays that are too large
get their own dedicated slabs.
As an additional improvement over #13218, this commit allows the
application to customize all allocator heuristics. The
`MeshAllocatorSettings` resource contains values that adjust the minimum
and maximum slab sizes, the cutoff point at which meshes get their own
dedicated slabs, and the rate at which slabs grow. Hopefully-sensible
defaults have been chosen for each value.
Unfortunately, WebGL 2 doesn't support the *base vertex* feature, which
is necessary to pack vertex arrays from different meshes into the same
buffer. `wgpu` represents this restriction as the downlevel flag
`BASE_VERTEX`. This patch detects that bit and ensures that all vertex
buffers get dedicated slabs on that platform. Even on WebGL 2, though,
we can combine all *index* arrays into single buffers to reduce buffer
changes, and we do so.
The following measurements are on Bistro:
Overall frame time improves from 8.74 ms to 5.53 ms (1.58x speedup):
Render system time improves from 6.57 ms to 3.54 ms (1.86x speedup):
Opaque pass time improves from 4.64 ms to 2.33 ms (1.99x speedup):
## Migration Guide
### Changed
* Vertex and index buffers for meshes may now be packed alongside other
buffers, for performance.
* `GpuMesh` has been renamed to `RenderMesh`, to reflect the fact that
it no longer directly stores handles to GPU objects.
* Because meshes no longer have their own vertex and index buffers, the
responsibility for the buffers has moved from `GpuMesh` (now called
`RenderMesh`) to the `MeshAllocator` resource. To access the vertex data
for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_vertex_slice`. To access the index
data for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_index_slice`.

# Objective
Many functions can be converted to `DynamicFunction` using
`IntoFunction`. Unfortunately, we are limited by Rust itself and the
implementations are far from exhaustive. For example, we can't convert
functions with more than 16 arguments. Additionally, we can't handle
returns with lifetimes not tied to the lifetime of the first argument.
In such cases, users will have to create their `DynamicFunction`
manually.
Let's take the following function:
```rust
fn get(index: usize, list: &Vec<String>) -> &String {
&list[index]
}
```
This function cannot be converted to a `DynamicFunction` via
`IntoFunction` due to the lifetime of the return value being tied to the
second argument. Therefore, we need to construct the `DynamicFunction`
manually:
```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
|mut args, info| {
let list = args
.pop()
.unwrap()
.take_ref::<Vec<String>>(&info.args()[1])?;
let index = args.pop().unwrap().take_owned::<usize>(&info.args()[0])?;
Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
},
FunctionInfo::new()
.with_name("get")
.with_args(vec![
ArgInfo:🆕:<usize>(0).with_name("index"),
ArgInfo:🆕:<&Vec<String>>(1).with_name("list"),
])
.with_return_info(ReturnInfo:🆕:<&String>()),
);
```
While still a small and straightforward snippet, there's a decent amount
going on here. There's a lot of room for improvements when it comes to
ergonomics and readability.
The goal of this PR is to address those issues.
## Solution
Improve the ergonomics and readability of manually created
`DynamicFunction`s.
Some of the major changes:
1. Removed the need for `&ArgInfo` when reifying arguments (i.e. the
`&info.args()[1]` calls)
2. Added additional `pop` methods on `ArgList` to handle both popping
and casting
3. Added `take` methods on `ArgList` for taking the arguments out in
order
4. Removed the need for `&FunctionInfo` in the internal closure (Change
1 made it no longer necessary)
5. Added methods to automatically handle generating `ArgInfo` and
`ReturnInfo`
With all these changes in place, we get something a lot nicer to both
write and look at:
```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
|mut args| {
let index = args.take::<usize>()?;
let list = args.take::<&Vec<String>>()?;
Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
},
FunctionInfo::new()
.with_name("get")
.with_arg::<usize>("index")
.with_arg::<&Vec<String>>("list")
.with_return::<&String>(),
);
```
Alternatively, to rely on type inference for taking arguments, you could
do:
```rust
DynamicFunction::new(
|mut args| {
let index = args.take_owned()?;
let list = args.take_ref()?;
Ok(Return::Ref(get(index, list)))
},
FunctionInfo::new()
.with_name("get")
.with_arg::<usize>("index")
.with_arg::<&Vec<String>>("list")
.with_return::<&String>(),
);
```
## Testing

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
* The `FromArg::from_arg` trait method and the `Arg::take_***` methods
no longer take a `&ArgInfo` argument.
* What used to be `Arg` is now `ArgValue`. `Arg` is now a struct which
contains an `ArgValue`.
* `Arg::take_***` methods now require `T` is also `TypePath`
* Instances of `id: ArgId` in `ArgError` have been replaced with `index:
usize`
* `ArgList::push` is now `ArgList::push_arg`. It also takes the new
`ArgValue` type.
* `ArgList::pop` has become `ArgList::pop_arg` and now returns
`ArgValue`. `Arg::pop` now takes a generic type and downcasts to that
type. It's recommended to use `ArgList::take` and friends instead since
they allow removing the arguments from the list in the order they were
pushed (rather than reverse order).
* `FunctionError::InvalidArgCount` is now
`FunctionError::ArgCountMismatch`
* The closure given to `DynamicFunction::new` no longer has a
`&FunctionInfo` argument. This argument can be removed.
# Objective
- Continue to pare down the uses on NonSend resources in the engine. In
this case, EventLoopProxy used to be `!Sync`, but is now `Sync` in the
latest version of winit.
## Solution
- New type `EventLoopProxy` as `EventLoopProxyWrapper` to make it into a
normal resource.
- Update the `custom_user_event` example as it no longer needs to
indirectly access the `EventLoopProxy` through a static variable
anymore.
## Testing
- Ran the example. The resource exists just for users to use, so there
aren't any in engine uses for it currently.
---
## Changelog
- make EventLoopProxy into a regular resource.
## Migration Guide
`EventLoopProxy` has been renamed to `EventLoopProxyWrapper` and is now
`Send`, making it an ordinary resource.
Before:
```rust
event_loop_system(event_loop: NonSend<EventLoopProxy<MyEvent>>) {
event_loop.send_event(MyEvent);
}
```
After:
```rust
event_loop_system(event_loop: Res<EventLoopProxy<MyEvent>>) {
event_loop.send_event(MyEvent);
}
```
# Objective
As mentioned in
[this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13152#issuecomment-2198387297)
comment, creating a function registry (see #14098) is a bit difficult
due to the requirements of `DynamicFunction`. Internally, a
`DynamicFunction` contains a `Box<dyn FnMut>` (the function that reifies
reflected arguments and calls the actual function), which requires `&mut
self` in order to be called.
This means that users would require a mutable reference to the function
registry for it to be useful— which isn't great. And they can't clone
the `DynamicFunction` either because cloning an `FnMut` isn't really
feasible (wrapping it in an `Arc` would allow it to be cloned but we
wouldn't be able to call the clone since we need a mutable reference to
the `FnMut`, which we can't get with multiple `Arc`s still alive,
requiring us to also slap in a `Mutex`, which adds additional overhead).
And we don't want to just replace the `dyn FnMut` with `dyn Fn` as that
would prevent reflecting closures that mutate their environment.
Instead, we need to introduce a new type to split the requirements of
`DynamicFunction`.
## Solution
Introduce new types for representing closures.
Specifically, this PR introduces `DynamicClosure` and
`DynamicClosureMut`. Similar to how `IntoFunction` exists for
`DynamicFunction`, two new traits were introduced: `IntoClosure` and
`IntoClosureMut`.
Now `DynamicFunction` stores a `dyn Fn` with a `'static` lifetime.
`DynamicClosure` also uses a `dyn Fn` but has a lifetime, `'env`, tied
to its environment. `DynamicClosureMut` is most like the old
`DynamicFunction`, keeping the `dyn FnMut` and also typing its lifetime,
`'env`, to the environment
Here are some comparison tables:
| | `DynamicFunction` | `DynamicClosure` | `DynamicClosureMut` |
| - | ----------------- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| Callable with `&self` | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Callable with `&mut self` | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Allows for non-`'static` lifetimes | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| | `IntoFunction` | `IntoClosure` | `IntoClosureMut` |
| - | -------------- | ------------- | ---------------- |
| Convert `fn` functions | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert `fn` methods | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert anonymous functions | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert closures that capture immutable references | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Convert closures that capture mutable references | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
| Convert closures that capture owned values | ❌[^1] | ✅ | ✅ |
[^1]: Due to limitations in Rust, `IntoFunction` can't be implemented
for just functions (unless we forced users to manually coerce them to
function pointers first). So closures that meet the trait requirements
_can technically_ be converted into a `DynamicFunction` as well. To both
future-proof and reduce confusion, though, we'll just pretend like this
isn't a thing.
```rust
let mut list: Vec<i32> = vec![1, 2, 3];
// `replace` is a closure that captures a mutable reference to `list`
let mut replace = |index: usize, value: i32| -> i32 {
let old_value = list[index];
list[index] = value;
old_value
};
// Convert the closure into a dynamic closure using `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut`
let mut func: DynamicClosureMut = replace.into_closure_mut();
// Dynamically call the closure:
let args = ArgList::default().push_owned(1_usize).push_owned(-2_i32);
let value = func.call_once(args).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
// Check the result:
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 2);
assert_eq!(list, vec![1, -2, 3]);
```
### `ReflectFn`/`ReflectFnMut`
To make extending the function reflection system easier (the blanket
impls for `IntoFunction`, `IntoClosure`, and `IntoClosureMut` are all
incredibly short), this PR generalizes callables with two new traits:
`ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`.
These traits mimic `Fn` and `FnMut` but allow for being called via
reflection. In fact, their blanket implementations are identical save
for `ReflectFn` being implemented over `Fn` types and `ReflectFnMut`
being implemented over `FnMut` types.
And just as `Fn` is a subtrait of `FnMut`, `ReflectFn` is a subtrait of
`ReflectFnMut`. So anywhere that expects a `ReflectFnMut` can also be
given a `ReflectFn`.
To reiterate, these traits aren't 100% necessary. They were added in
purely for extensibility. If we decide to split things up differently or
add new traits/types in the future, then those changes should be much
simpler to implement.
### `TypedFunction`
Because of the split into `ReflectFn` and `ReflectFnMut`, we needed a
new way to access the function type information. This PR moves that
concept over into `TypedFunction`.
Much like `Typed`, this provides a way to access a function's
`FunctionInfo`.
By splitting this trait out, it helps to ensure the other traits are
focused on a single responsibility.
### Internal Macros
The original function PR (#13152) implemented `IntoFunction` using a
macro which was passed into an `all_tuples!` macro invocation. Because
we needed the same functionality for these new traits, this PR has
copy+pasted that code for `ReflectFn`, `ReflectFnMut`, and
`TypedFunction`— albeit with some differences between them.
Originally, I was going to try and macro-ify the impls and where clauses
such that we wouldn't have to straight up duplicate a lot of this logic.
However, aside from being more complex in general, autocomplete just
does not play nice with such heavily nested macros (tried in both
RustRover and VSCode). And both of those problems told me that it just
wasn't worth it: we need to ensure the crate is easily maintainable,
even at the cost of duplicating code.
So instead, I made sure to simplify the macro code by removing all
fully-qualified syntax and cutting the where clauses down to the bare
essentials, which helps to clean up a lot of the visual noise. I also
tried my best to document the macro logic in certain areas (I may even
add a bit more) to help with maintainability for future devs.
### Documentation
Documentation for this module was a bit difficult for me. So many of
these traits and types are very interconnected. And each trait/type has
subtle differences that make documenting it in a single place, like at
the module level, difficult to do cleanly. Describing the valid
signatures is also challenging to do well.
Hopefully what I have here is okay. I think I did an okay job, but let
me know if there any thoughts on ways to improve it. We can also move
such a task to a followup PR for more focused discussion.

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
### `IntoClosure`
`IntoFunction` now only works for standard Rust functions. Calling
`IntoFunction::into_function` on a closure that captures references to
its environment (either mutable or immutable), will no longer compile.
Instead, you will need to use either `IntoClosure::into_closure` to
create a `DynamicClosure` or `IntoClosureMut::into_closure_mut` to
create a `DynamicClosureMut`, depending on your needs:
```rust
let punct = String::from("!");
let print = |value: String| {
println!("{value}{punct}");
};
// BEFORE
let func: DynamicFunction = print.into_function();
// AFTER
let func: DynamicClosure = print.into_closure();
```
### `IntoFunction` lifetime
Additionally, `IntoFunction` no longer takes a lifetime parameter as it
always expects a `'static` lifetime. Usages will need to remove any
lifetime parameters:
```rust
// BEFORE
fn execute<'env, F: IntoFunction<'env, Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */}
// AFTER
fn execute<F: IntoFunction<Marker>, Marker>(f: F) {/* ... */}
```
### `IntoReturn`
`IntoReturn::into_return` now has a where clause. Any manual
implementors will need to add this where clause to their implementation.
Currently, volumetric fog is global and affects the entire scene
uniformly. This is inadequate for many use cases, such as local smoke
effects. To address this problem, this commit introduces *fog volumes*,
which are axis-aligned bounding boxes (AABBs) that specify fog
parameters inside their boundaries. Such volumes can also specify a
*density texture*, a 3D texture of voxels that specifies the density of
the fog at each point.
To create a fog volume, add a `FogVolume` component to an entity (which
is included in the new `FogVolumeBundle` convenience bundle). Like light
probes, a fog volume is conceptually a 1×1×1 cube centered on the
origin; a transform can be used to position and resize this region. Many
of the fields on the existing `VolumetricFogSettings` have migrated to
the new `FogVolume` component. `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera is
still needed to enable volumetric fog. However, by itself
`VolumetricFogSettings` is no longer sufficient to enable volumetric
fog; a `FogVolume` must be present. Applications that wish to retain the
old global fog behavior can simply surround the scene with a large fog
volume.
By way of implementation, this commit converts the volumetric fog shader
from a full-screen shader to one applied to a mesh. The strategy is
different depending on whether the camera is inside or outside the fog
volume. If the camera is inside the fog volume, the mesh is simply a
plane scaled to the viewport, effectively falling back to a full-screen
pass. If the camera is outside the fog volume, the mesh is a cube
transformed to coincide with the boundaries of the fog volume's AABB.
Importantly, in the latter case, only the front faces of the cuboid are
rendered. Instead of treating the boundaries of the fog as a sphere
centered on the camera position, as we did prior to this patch, we
raytrace the far planes of the AABB to determine the portion of each ray
contained within the fog volume. We then raymarch in shadow map space as
usual. If a density texture is present, we modulate the fixed density
value with the trilinearly-interpolated value from that texture.
Furthermore, this patch introduces optional jitter to fog volumes,
intended for use with TAA. This modifies the position of the ray from
frame to frame using interleaved gradient noise, in order to reduce
aliasing artifacts. Many implementations of volumetric fog in games use
this technique. Note that this patch makes no attempt to write a motion
vector; this is because when a view ray intersects multiple voxels
there's no single direction of motion. Consequently, fog volumes can
have ghosting artifacts, but because fog is "ghostly" by its nature,
these artifacts are less objectionable than they would be for opaque
objects.
A new example, `fog_volumes`, has been added. It demonstrates a single
fog volume containing a voxelized representation of the Stanford bunny.
The existing `volumetric_fog` example has been updated to use the new
local volumetrics API.
## Changelog
### Added
* Local `FogVolume`s are now supported, to localize fog to specific
regions. They can optionally have 3D density voxel textures for precise
control over the distribution of the fog.
### Changed
* `VolumetricFogSettings` on a camera no longer enables volumetric fog;
instead, it simply enables the processing of `FogVolume`s within the
scene.
## Migration Guide
* A `FogVolume` is now necessary in order to enable volumetric fog, in
addition to `VolumetricFogSettings` on the camera. Existing uses of
volumetric fog can be migrated by placing a large `FogVolume`
surrounding the scene.

# Objective
The borders example is separate from the rounded borders example. If you
find the borders example, you may miss the rounded borders example.
## Solution
Merge the examples in a basic way, since there is enough room to show
all options at the same time.
I also considered renaming the borders and rounded borders examples so
that they would be located next to each other in repo and UI, but it
felt like having a singular example was better.
## Testing
```
cargo run --example borders
```
---
## Showcase
The merged example looks like this:
# Objective
```rust
// Currently:
builder.add_after::<FooPlugin, _>(BarPlugin);
// After this PR:
builder.add_after::<FooPlugin>(BarPlugin);
```
This removes some weirdness and better parallels the rest of the
`PluginGroupBuilder` API.
## Solution
Define a helper method `type_id_of_val` to use in `.add_before` and
`.add_after` instead of `TypeId::of::<T>` (which requires the plugin
type to be nameable, preventing `impl Plugin` from being used).
## Testing
Ran `cargo run -p ci lints` successfully.
## Migration Guide
Removed second generic from `PluginGroupBuilder` methods: `add_before`
and `add_after`.
```rust
// Before:
DefaultPlugins
.build()
.add_before::<WindowPlugin, _>(FooPlugin)
.add_after::<WindowPlugin, _>(BarPlugin)
// After:
DefaultPlugins
.build()
.add_before::<WindowPlugin>(FooPlugin)
.add_after::<WindowPlugin>(BarPlugin)

Type data is a **super** useful tool to know about when working with
reflection. However, most users don't fully understand how it works or
that you can use it for more than just object-safe traits.
This is unfortunate because it can be surprisingly simple to manually
create your own type data.
We should have an example detailing how type works, how users can define
their own, and how thy can be used.
## Solution
Added a `type_data` example.
This example goes through all the major points about type data:
- Why we need them
- How they can be defined
- The two ways they can be registered
- A list of common/important type data provided by Bevy
I also thought it might be good to go over the `#[reflect_trait]` macro
as part of this example since it has all the other context, including
how to define type data in places where `#[reflect_trait]` won't work.
Because of this, I removed the `trait_reflection` example.
## Testing
You can run the example locally with the following command:
```
cargo run --example type_data
```

## Changelog

This commit creates a new built-in postprocessing shader that's designed
to hold miscellaneous postprocessing effects, and starts it off with
chromatic aberration. Possible future effects include vignette, film
grain, and lens distortion.
[Chromatic aberration] is a common postprocessing effect that simulates
lenses that fail to focus all colors of light to a single point. It's
often used for impact effects and/or horror games. This patch uses the
technique from *Inside* ([Gjøl & Svendsen 2016]), which allows the
developer to customize the particular color pattern to achieve different
effects. Unity HDRP uses the same technique, while Unreal has a
hard-wired fixed color pattern.
A new example, `post_processing`, has been added, in order to
demonstrate the technique. The existing `post_processing` shader has
been renamed to `custom_post_processing`, for clarity.

### Added
* Chromatic aberration is now available as a built-in postprocessing
effect. To use it, add `ChromaticAberration` to your camera.
# Objective
Add basic bubbling to observers, modeled off `bevy_eventlistener`.
## Solution
- Introduce a new `Traversal` trait for components which point to other
entities.
- Provide a default `TraverseNone: Traversal` component which cannot be
constructed.
- Implement `Traversal` for `Parent`.
- The `Event` trait now has an associated `Traversal` which defaults to
`TraverseNone`.
- Added a field `bubbling: &mut bool` to `Trigger` which can be used to
instruct the runner to bubble the event to the entity specified by the
event's traversal type.
- Added an associated constant `SHOULD_BUBBLE` to `Event` which
configures the default bubbling state.
- Added logic to wire this all up correctly.
Introducing the new associated information directly on `Event` (instead
of a new `BubblingEvent` trait) lets us dispatch both bubbling and
non-bubbling events through the same api.
## Testing
I have added several unit tests to cover the common bugs I identified
during development. Running the unit tests should be enough to validate
correctness. The changes effect unsafe portions of the code, but should
not change any of the safety assertions.
## Changelog
Observers can now bubble up the entity hierarchy! To create a bubbling
event, change your `Derive(Event)` to something like the following:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct MyEvent;
impl Event for MyEvent {
type Traverse = Parent; // This event will propagate up from child to parent.
const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = true; // This event will propagate by default.
}
```
You can dispatch a bubbling event using the normal
`world.trigger_targets(MyEvent, entity)`.
Halting an event mid-bubble can be done using
`trigger.propagate(false)`. Events with `AUTO_PROPAGATE = false` will
not propagate by default, but you can enable it using
`trigger.propagate(true)`.
If there are multiple observers attached to a target, they will all be
triggered by bubbling. They all share a bubbling state, which can be
accessed mutably using `trigger.propagation_mut()` (`trigger.propagate`
is just sugar for this).
You can choose to implement `Traversal` for your own types, if you want
to bubble along a different structure than provided by `bevy_hierarchy`.
Implementers must be careful never to produce loops, because this will
cause bevy to hang.
## Migration Guide
+ Manual implementations of `Event` should add associated type `Traverse
= TraverseNone` and associated constant `AUTO_PROPAGATE = false`;
+ `Trigger::new` has new field `propagation: &mut Propagation` which
provides the bubbling state.
+ `ObserverRunner` now takes the same `&mut Propagation` as a final
parameter.

# Objective
This example shows how to properly handle player input, advance a
physics simulation in a fixed timestep, and display the results.
The classic source for how and why this is done is Glenn Fiedler's
article [Fix Your
Timestep!](https://gafferongames.com/post/fix_your_timestep/).
## Motivation
The naive way of moving a player is to just update their position like
so:
```rust
transform.translation += velocity;
```
The issue here is that the player's movement speed will be tied to the
frame rate.
Faster machines will move the player faster, and slower machines will
move the player slower.
In fact, you can observe this today when running some old games that did
it this way on modern hardware!
The player will move at a breakneck pace.
The more sophisticated way is to update the player's position based on
the time that has passed:
```rust
transform.translation += velocity * time.delta_seconds();
```
This way, velocity represents a speed in units per second, and the
player will move at the same speed regardless of the frame rate.
However, this can still be problematic if the frame rate is very low or
very high. If the frame rate is very low, the player will move in large
jumps. This may lead to a player moving in such large jumps that they
pass through walls or other obstacles. In general, you cannot expect a
physics simulation to behave nicely with *any* delta time. Ideally, we
want to have some stability in what kinds of delta times we feed into
our physics simulation.
The solution is using a fixed timestep. This means that we advance the
physics simulation by a fixed amount at a time. If the real time that
passed between two frames is less than the fixed timestep, we simply
don't advance the physics simulation at all.
If it is more, we advance the physics simulation multiple times until we
catch up. You can read more about how Bevy implements this in the
documentation for
[`bevy::time::Fixed`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/time/struct.Fixed.html).
This leaves us with a last problem, however. If our physics simulation
may advance zero or multiple times per frame, there may be frames in
which the player's position did not need to be updated at all, and some
where it is updated by a large amount that resulted from running the
physics simulation multiple times. This is physically correct, but
visually jarring. Imagine a player moving in a straight line, but
depending on the frame rate, they may sometimes advance by a large
amount and sometimes not at all. Visually, we want the player to move
smoothly. This is why we need to separate the player's position in the
physics simulation from the player's position in the visual
representation. The visual representation can then be interpolated
smoothly based on the last and current actual player position in the
physics simulation.
This is a tradeoff: every visual frame is now slightly lagging behind
the actual physical frame, but in return, the player's movement will
appear smooth. There are other ways to compute the visual representation
of the player, such as extrapolation. See the [documentation of the
lightyear
crate](https://cbournhonesque.github.io/lightyear/book/concepts/advanced_replication/visual_interpolation.html)
for a nice overview of the different methods and their tradeoffs.
## Implementation
- The player's velocity is stored in a `Velocity` component. This is the
speed in units per second.
- The player's current position in the physics simulation is stored in a
`PhysicalTranslation` component.
- The player's previous position in the physics simulation is stored in
a `PreviousPhysicalTranslation` component.
- The player's visual representation is stored in Bevy's regular
`Transform` component.
- Every frame, we go through the following steps:
- Advance the physics simulation by one fixed timestep in the
`advance_physics` system.
This is run in the `FixedUpdate` schedule, which runs before the
`Update` schedule.
- Update the player's visual representation in the
`update_displayed_transform` system.
This interpolates between the player's previous and current position in
the physics simulation.
- Update the player's velocity based on the player's input in the
`handle_input` system.
## Relevant Issues
Related to #1259.
I'm also fairly sure I've seen an issue somewhere made by
@alice-i-cecile about showing how to move a character correctly in a
fixed timestep, but I cannot find it.
# Objective
- Often in games you will want to create chains of systems that modify
some event. For example, a chain of damage systems that handle a
DamageEvent and modify the underlying value before the health system
finally consumes the event. Right now this requires either:
* Using a component added to the entity
* Consuming and refiring events
Neither is ideal when really all we want to do is read the events value,
modify it, and write it back.
## Solution
- Create an EventMutator class similar to EventReader but with ResMut<T>
and iterators that return &mut so that events can be mutated.
## Testing
- I replicated all the existing tests for EventReader to make sure
behavior was the same (I believe) and added a number of tests specific
to testing that 1) events can actually be mutated, and that 2)
EventReader sees changes from EventMutator for events it hasn't already
seen.
## Migration Guide
Users currently using `ManualEventReader` should use `EventCursor`
instead. `ManualEventReader` will be removed in Bevy 0.16. Additionally,
`Events::get_reader` has been replaced by `Events::get_cursor`.
Users currently directly accessing the `Events` resource for mutation
should move to `EventMutator` if possible.

# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13972
## Solution
Added 3 new attributes to the `Component` macro.
## Testing
Added `component_hook_order_spawn_despawn_with_macro_hooks`, that makes
the same as `component_hook_order_spawn_despawn` but uses a struct, that
defines it's hooks with the `Component` macro.

# Replace ab_glyph with the more capable cosmic-text
Fixes#7616.
Cosmic-text is a more mature text-rendering library that handles scripts
and ligatures better than ab_glyph, it can also handle system fonts
which can be implemented in bevy in the future
Rebase of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8808
## Changelog
Replaces text renderer ab_glyph with cosmic-text
The definition of the font size has changed with the migration to cosmic
text. The behavior is now consistent with other platforms (e.g. the
web), where the font size in pixels measures the height of the font (the
distance between the top of the highest ascender and the bottom of the
lowest descender). Font sizes in your app need to be rescaled to
approximately 1.2x smaller; for example, if you were using a font size
of 60.0, you should now use a font size of 50.0.
## Migration guide
- `Text2dBounds` has been replaced with `TextBounds`, and it now accepts
`Option`s to the bounds, instead of using `f32::INFINITY` to inidicate
lack of bounds
- Textsizes should be changed, dividing the current size with 1.2 will
result in the same size as before.
- `TextSettings` struct is removed
- Feature `subpixel_alignment` has been removed since cosmic-text
already does this automatically
- TextBundles and things rendering texts requires the `CosmicBuffer`
Component on them as well
## Suggested followups:
- TextPipeline: reconstruct byte indices for keeping track of eventual
cursors in text input
- TextPipeline: (future work) split text entities into section entities
- TextPipeline: (future work) text editing
- Support line height as an option. Unitless `1.2` is the default used
in browsers (1.2x font size).
- Support System Fonts and font families
- Example showing of animated text styles. Eg. throbbing hyperlinks

# Objective
Fixes#14120
`ui_texture_slice` and `ui_texture_atlas_slice` were working as
intended, so undo the changes.
## Solution
Partially revert https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14115 for
`ui_texture_slice` and `ui_texture_atlas_slice`.
## Testing
Ran those two examples, confirmed the border color is the thing that
changes when buttons are hovered.
# Objective
The `AssetReader` trait allows customizing the behavior of fetching
bytes for an `AssetPath`, and expects implementors to return `dyn
AsyncRead + AsyncSeek`. This gives implementors of `AssetLoader` great
flexibility to tightly integrate their asset loading behavior with the
asynchronous task system.
However, almost all implementors of `AssetLoader` don't use the async
functionality at all, and just call `AsyncReadExt::read_to_end(&mut
Vec<u8>)`. This is incredibly inefficient, as this method repeatedly
calls `poll_read` on the trait object, filling the vector 32 bytes at a
time. At my work we have assets that are hundreds of megabytes which
makes this a meaningful overhead.
## Solution
Turn the `Reader` type alias into an actual trait, with a provided
method `read_to_end`. This provided method should be more efficient than
the existing extension method, as the compiler will know the underlying
type of `Reader` when generating this function, which removes the
repeated dynamic dispatches and allows the compiler to make further
optimizations after inlining. Individual implementors are able to
override the provided implementation -- for simple asset readers that
just copy bytes from one buffer to another, this allows removing a large
amount of overhead from the provided implementation.
Now that `Reader` is an actual trait, I also improved the ergonomics for
implementing `AssetReader`. Currently, implementors are expected to box
their reader and return it as a trait object, which adds unnecessary
boilerplate to implementations. This PR changes that trait method to
return a pseudo trait alias, which allows implementors to return `impl
Reader` instead of `Box<dyn Reader>`. Now, the boilerplate for boxing
occurs in `ErasedAssetReader`.
## Testing
I made identical changes to my company's fork of bevy. Our app, which
makes heavy use of `read_to_end` for asset loading, still worked
properly after this. I am not aware if we have a more systematic way of
testing asset loading for correctness.
---
## Migration Guide
The trait method `bevy_asset::io::AssetReader::read` (and `read_meta`)
now return an opaque type instead of a boxed trait object. Implementors
of these methods should change the type signatures appropriately
```rust
impl AssetReader for MyReader {
// Before
async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<Box<Reader<'a>>, AssetReaderError> {
let reader = // construct a reader
Box::new(reader) as Box<Reader<'a>>
}
// After
async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<impl Reader + 'a, AssetReaderError> {
// create a reader
}
}
```
`bevy::asset::io::Reader` is now a trait, rather than a type alias for a
trait object. Implementors of `AssetLoader::load` will need to adjust
the method signature accordingly
```rust
impl AssetLoader for MyLoader {
async fn load<'a>(
&'a self,
// Before:
reader: &'a mut bevy::asset::io::Reader,
// After:
reader: &'a mut dyn bevy::asset::io::Reader,
_: &'a Self::Settings,
load_context: &'a mut LoadContext<'_>,
) -> Result<Self::Asset, Self::Error> {
}
```
Additionally, implementors of `AssetReader` that return a type
implementing `futures_io::AsyncRead` and `AsyncSeek` might need to
explicitly implement `bevy::asset::io::Reader` for that type.
```rust
impl bevy::asset::io::Reader for MyAsyncReadAndSeek {}
```
# Objective
- Add the `AccumulatedMouseMotion` and `AccumulatedMouseScroll`
resources to make it simpler to track mouse motion/scroll changes
- Closes#13915
## Solution
- Created two resources, `AccumulatedMouseMotion` and
`AccumulatedMouseScroll`, and a method that tracks the `MouseMotion` and
`MouseWheel` events and accumulates their deltas every frame.
- Also modified the mouse input example to show how to use the
resources.
## Testing
- Tested the changes by modifying an existing example to use the newly
added resources, and moving/scrolling my trackpad around a ton.

# Objective
We're able to reflect types sooooooo... why not functions?
The goal of this PR is to make functions callable within a dynamic
context, where type information is not readily available at compile
time.
For example, if we have a function:
```rust
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
left + right
}
```
And two `Reflect` values we've already validated are `i32` types:
```rust
let left: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32);
let right: Box<dyn Reflect> = Box::new(2_i32);
```
We should be able to call `add` with these values:
```rust
// ?????
let result: Box<dyn Reflect> = add.call_dynamic(left, right);
```
And ideally this wouldn't just work for functions, but methods and
closures too!
Right now, users have two options:
1. Manually parse the reflected data and call the function themselves
2. Rely on registered type data to handle the conversions for them
For a small function like `add`, this isn't too bad. But what about for
more complex functions? What about for many functions?
At worst, this process is error-prone. At best, it's simply tedious.
And this is assuming we know the function at compile time. What if we
want to accept a function dynamically and call it with our own
arguments?
It would be much nicer if `bevy_reflect` could alleviate some of the
problems here.
## Solution
Added function reflection!
This adds a `DynamicFunction` type to wrap a function dynamically. This
can be called with an `ArgList`, which is a dynamic list of
`Reflect`-containing `Arg` arguments. It returns a `FunctionResult`
which indicates whether or not the function call succeeded, returning a
`Reflect`-containing `Return` type if it did succeed.
Many functions can be converted into this `DynamicFunction` type thanks
to the `IntoFunction` trait.
Taking our previous `add` example, this might look something like
(explicit types added for readability):
```rust
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
left + right
}
let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function();
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32);
let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap();
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4);
```
And it also works on closures:
```rust
let add = |left: i32, right: i32| left + right;
let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function();
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32);
let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap();
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4);
```
As well as methods:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo(i32);
impl Foo {
fn add(&mut self, value: i32) {
self.0 += value;
}
}
let mut foo = Foo(2);
let mut function: DynamicFunction = Foo::add.into_function();
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_mut(&mut foo).push_owned(2_i32);
function.call(args).unwrap();
assert_eq!(foo.0, 4);
```
### Limitations
While this does cover many functions, it is far from a perfect system
and has quite a few limitations. Here are a few of the limitations when
using `IntoFunction`:
1. The lifetime of the return value is only tied to the lifetime of the
first argument (useful for methods). This means you can't have a
function like `(a: i32, b: &i32) -> &i32` without creating the
`DynamicFunction` manually.
2. Only 15 arguments are currently supported. If the first argument is a
(mutable) reference, this number increases to 16.
3. Manual implementations of `Reflect` will need to implement the new
`FromArg`, `GetOwnership`, and `IntoReturn` traits in order to be used
as arguments/return types.
And some limitations of `DynamicFunction` itself:
1. All arguments share the same lifetime, or rather, they will shrink to
the shortest lifetime.
2. Closures that capture their environment may need to have their
`DynamicFunction` dropped before accessing those variables again (there
is a `DynamicFunction::call_once` to make this a bit easier)
3. All arguments and return types must implement `Reflect`. While not a
big surprise coming from `bevy_reflect`, this implementation could
actually still work by swapping `Reflect` out with `Any`. Of course,
that makes working with the arguments and return values a bit harder.
4. Generic functions are not supported (unless they have been manually
monomorphized)
And general, reflection gotchas:
1. `&str` does not implement `Reflect`. Rather, `&'static str`
implements `Reflect` (the same is true for `&Path` and similar types).
This means that `&'static str` is considered an "owned" value for the
sake of generating arguments. Additionally, arguments and return types
containing `&str` will assume it's `&'static str`, which is almost never
the desired behavior. In these cases, the only solution (I believe) is
to use `&String` instead.
### Followup Work
This PR is the first of two PRs I intend to work on. The second PR will
aim to integrate this new function reflection system into the existing
reflection traits and `TypeInfo`. The goal would be to register and call
a reflected type's methods dynamically.
I chose not to do that in this PR since the diff is already quite large.
I also want the discussion for both PRs to be focused on their own
implementation.
Another followup I'd like to do is investigate allowing common container
types as a return type, such as `Option<&[mut] T>` and `Result<&[mut] T,
E>`. This would allow even more functions to opt into this system. I
chose to not include it in this one, though, for the same reasoning as
previously mentioned.
### Alternatives
One alternative I had considered was adding a macro to convert any
function into a reflection-based counterpart. The idea would be that a
struct that wraps the function would be created and users could specify
which arguments and return values should be `Reflect`. It could then be
called via a new `Function` trait.
I think that could still work, but it will be a fair bit more involved,
requiring some slightly more complex parsing. And it of course is a bit
more work for the user, since they need to create the type via macro
invocation.
It also makes registering these functions onto a type a bit more
complicated (depending on how it's implemented).
For now, I think this is a fairly simple, yet powerful solution that
provides the least amount of friction for users.
---
## Showcase
Bevy now adds support for storing and calling functions dynamically
using reflection!
```rust
// 1. Take a standard Rust function
fn add(left: i32, right: i32) -> i32 {
left + right
}
// 2. Convert it into a type-erased `DynamicFunction` using the `IntoFunction` trait
let mut function: DynamicFunction = add.into_function();
// 3. Define your arguments from reflected values
let args: ArgList = ArgList::new().push_owned(2_i32).push_owned(2_i32);
// 4. Call the function with your arguments
let result: Return = function.call(args).unwrap();
// 5. Extract the return value
let value: Box<dyn Reflect> = result.unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.take::<i32>().unwrap(), 4);
```

# Objective
- Some people have asked how to do image masking in UI. It's pretty easy
to do using a `UiMaterial` assuming you know how to write shaders.
## Solution
- Update the ui_material example to show the bevy banner slowly being
revealed like a progress bar
## Notes
I'm not entirely sure if we want this or not. For people that would be
comfortable to use this for their own games they would probably have
already figured out how to do it and for people that aren't familiar
with shaders this isn't really enough to make an actual slider/progress
bar.

As reported in #14004, many third-party plugins, such as Hanabi, enqueue
entities that don't have meshes into render phases. However, the
introduction of indirect mode added a dependency on mesh-specific data,
breaking this workflow. This is because GPU preprocessing requires that
the render phases manage indirect draw parameters, which don't apply to
objects that aren't meshes. The existing code skips over binned entities
that don't have indirect draw parameters, which causes the rendering to
be skipped for such objects.
To support this workflow, this commit adds a new field,
`non_mesh_items`, to `BinnedRenderPhase`. This field contains a simple
list of (bin key, entity) pairs. After drawing batchable and unbatchable
objects, the non-mesh items are drawn one after another. Bevy itself
doesn't enqueue any items into this list; it exists solely for the
application and/or plugins to use.
Additionally, this commit switches the asset ID in the standard bin keys
to be an untyped asset ID rather than that of a mesh. This allows more
flexibility, allowing bins to be keyed off any type of asset.
This patch adds a new example, `custom_phase_item`, which simultaneously
serves to demonstrate how to use this new feature and to act as a
regression test so this doesn't break again.
Fixes#14004.
## Changelog
### Added
* `BinnedRenderPhase` now contains a `non_mesh_items` field for plugins
to add custom items to.
# Objective
- #14017 changed how `UiImage` and `BackgroundColor` work
- one change was missed in example `color_grading`, another in the
mobile example
## Solution
- Change it in the examples
# Objective
In Bevy 0.13, `BackgroundColor` simply tinted the image of any
`UiImage`. This was confusing: in every other case (e.g. Text), this
added a solid square behind the element. #11165 changed this, but
removed `BackgroundColor` from `ImageBundle` to avoid confusion, since
the semantic meaning had changed.
However, this resulted in a serious UX downgrade / inconsistency, as
this behavior was no longer part of the bundle (unlike for `TextBundle`
or `NodeBundle`), leaving users with a relatively frustrating upgrade
path.
Additionally, adding both `BackgroundColor` and `UiImage` resulted in a
bizarre effect, where the background color was seemingly ignored as it
was covered by a solid white placeholder image.
Fixes#13969.
## Solution
Per @viridia's design:
> - if you don't specify a background color, it's transparent.
> - if you don't specify an image color, it's white (because it's a
multiplier).
> - if you don't specify an image, no image is drawn.
> - if you specify both a background color and an image color, they are
independent.
> - the background color is drawn behind the image (in whatever pixels
are transparent)
As laid out by @benfrankel, this involves:
1. Changing the default `UiImage` to use a transparent texture but a
pure white tint.
2. Adding `UiImage::solid_color` to quickly set placeholder images.
3. Changing the default `BorderColor` and `BackgroundColor` to
transparent.
4. Removing the default overrides for these values in the other assorted
UI bundles.
5. Adding `BackgroundColor` back to `ImageBundle` and `ButtonBundle`.
6. Adding a 1x1 `Image::transparent`, which can be accessed from
`Assets<Image>` via the `TRANSPARENT_IMAGE_HANDLE` constant.
Huge thanks to everyone who helped out with the design in the linked
issue and [the Discord
thread](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1255209923890118697/1255209999278280844):
this was very much a joint design.
@cart helped me figure out how to set the UiImage's default texture to a
transparent 1x1 image, which is a much nicer fix.
## Testing
I've checked the examples modified by this PR, and the `ui` example as
well just to be sure.
## Migration Guide
- `BackgroundColor` no longer tints the color of images in `ImageBundle`
or `ButtonBundle`. Set `UiImage::color` to tint images instead.
- The default texture for `UiImage` is now a transparent white square.
Use `UiImage::solid_color` to quickly draw debug images.
- The default value for `BackgroundColor` and `BorderColor` is now
transparent. Set the color to white manually to return to previous
behavior.
# Objective
Add example of an enum Component to ecs_guide.
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11344.

is on a "hot" or "cold" streak.
## Testing
Ran example manually.

# Objective
In a few examples, we're specifying a font or font size that is the same
as the current default value. Might as well use the default. That'll be
one less thing to worry about if we ever need to change the default font
size. (wink)
In a few others, we were using a value of `25.0` and it didn't seem like
it was different for an important reason, so I switched to the default
there too.
(There are a bunch of examples that use non-default font sizes for
various reasons. Not trying address them all here.)
# Objective
A couple issues with this example are evident from this screenshot of
the example showcase:
<img width="319" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/200550/5325bb29-9576-4989-a5a3-a972c8bbf1af">
- The images are misaligned, closer to the right edge of the screen
- The example uses a custom window resolution with a different aspect
ratio from the default, which results in black bars
## Solution
- Use the default window size
- Adjust positions so that things are centered
This isn't really fixing a problem, but I also:
- Used the default font size and adjusted the text labels and gaps so
that everything still fits
Which is how I got here in the first place (one less font size to adjust
for the cosmic text PR).

# Objective
The documentation for
[`Transform::align`](https://docs.rs/bevy/0.14.0-rc.3/bevy/transform/components/struct.Transform.html#method.align)
mentions a hypothetical ship model. Showing this concretely would be a
nice improvement over using a cube.
> For example, if a spaceship model has its nose pointing in the
X-direction in its own local coordinates and its dorsal fin pointing in
the Y-direction, then align(Dir3::X, v, Dir3::Y, w) will make the
spaceship’s nose point in the direction of v, while the dorsal fin does
its best to point in the direction w.
## Solution
This commit makes the ship less hypothetical by using a kenney ship
model in the example.
The local axes for the ship needed to change to accommodate the gltf, so
the hypothetical in the documentation and this example's local axes
don't necessarily match. Docs use `align(Dir3::X, v, Dir3::Y, w)` and
this example now uses `(Vec3::NEG_Z, *first, Vec3::X, *second)`.
I manually modified the `craft_speederD` Node's `translation` to be
0,0,0 in the gltf file, which means it now differs from kenney's
original model.
Original ship from: https://kenney.nl/assets/space-kit
## Testing
```
cargo run --example align
```
# Objective
Fixes#13920
## Solution
As described in the issue.
## Testing
Moved a custom transition plugin in example before any of the app-state
methods.
# Objective
[`StableInterpolate`](https://dev-docs.bevyengine.org/bevy/math/trait.StableInterpolate.html)
was introduced after this example was written (or more accurately, the
two PRs were merged on the same day and developed in parallel).
The example used `Vec3::lerp` where I believe it is now preferred to use
`smooth_nudge`.
## Solution
Its not entirely clear to me whether `StableInterpolate` should be
preferred in this scenario, although it seems likely. So I figured a PR
to make the change would either result in it being merged or denied with
a reason.
## Testing

# Objective
A very common way to organize a first-person view is to split it into
two kinds of models:
- The *view model* is the model that represents the player's body.
- The *world model* is everything else.
The reason for this distinction is that these two models should be
rendered with different FOVs.
The view model is typically designed and animated with a very specific
FOV in mind, so it is
generally *fixed* and cannot be changed by a player. The world model, on
the other hand, should
be able to change its FOV to accommodate the player's preferences for
the following reasons:
- *Accessibility*: How prone is the player to motion sickness? A wider
FOV can help.
- *Tactical preference*: Does the player want to see more of the
battlefield?
Or have a more zoomed-in view for precision aiming?
- *Physical considerations*: How well does the in-game FOV match the
player's real-world FOV?
Are they sitting in front of a monitor or playing on a TV in the living
room? How big is the screen?
## Solution
I've added an example implementing the described setup as follows.
The `Player` is an entity holding two cameras, one for each model. The
view model camera has a fixed
FOV of 70 degrees, while the world model camera has a variable FOV that
can be changed by the player.
I use different `RenderLayers` to select what to render.
- The world model camera has no explicit `RenderLayers` component, so it
uses the layer 0.
All static objects in the scene are also on layer 0 for the same reason.
- The view model camera has a `RenderLayers` component with layer 1, so
it only renders objects
explicitly assigned to layer 1. The arm of the player is one such
object.
The order of the view model camera is additionally bumped to 1 to ensure
it renders on top of the world model.
- The light source in the scene must illuminate both the view model and
the world model, so it is
assigned to both layers 0 and 1.
To better see the effect, the player can move the camera by dragging
their mouse and change the world model's FOV with the arrow keys. The
arrow up key maps to "decrease FOV" and the arrow down key maps to
"increase FOV". This sounds backwards on paper, but is more intuitive
when actually changing the FOV in-game since a decrease in FOV looks
like a zoom-in.
I intentionally do not allow changing the view model's FOV even though
it would be illustrative because that would be an anti-pattern and bloat
the code a bit.
The example is called `first_person_view_model` and not just
`first_person` because I want to highlight that this is not a simple
flycam, but actually renders the player.
## Testing
Default FOV:

Note that the white bar on the right represents the player's arm, which
is more obvious in-game because you can move the camera around.
The box on top is there to make sure that the view model is receiving
shadows.
I tested only on macOS.

## Changelog
I don't think new examples go in here, do they?
## Caveat
The solution used here was implemented with help by @robtfm on
[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/866787577687310356/1241019224491561000):
> shadow maps are specific to lights, not to layers
> if you want shadows from some meshes that are not visible, you could
have light on layer 1+2, meshes on layer 2, camera on layer 1 (for
example)
> but this might change in future, it's not exactly an intended feature
In other words, the example code as-is is not guaranteed to work in the
future. I want to bring this up because the use-case presented here is
extremely common in first-person games and important for accessibility.
It would be good to have a blessed and easy way of how to achieve it.
I'm also not happy about how I get the `perspective` variable in
`change_fov`. Very open to suggestions :)

# Objective
- Observers example is using an unseeded random, prints text to console
and doesn't display text as other examples
## Solution
- use seeded random
- log instead of printing
- use common settings for UI text
# Objective
- Provide an expressive way to register dynamic behavior in response to
ECS changes that is consistent with existing bevy types and traits as to
provide a smooth user experience.
- Provide a mechanism for immediate changes in response to events during
command application in order to facilitate improved query caching on the
path to relations.
## Solution
- A new fundamental ECS construct, the `Observer`; inspired by flec's
observers but adapted to better fit bevy's access patterns and rust's
type system.
---
## Examples
There are 3 main ways to register observers. The first is a "component
observer" that looks like this:
```rust
world.observe(|trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Transform>, query: Query<&Transform>| {
let transform = query.get(trigger.entity()).unwrap();
});
```
The above code will spawn a new entity representing the observer that
will run it's callback whenever the `Transform` component is added to an
entity. This is a system-like function that supports dependency
injection for all the standard bevy types: `Query`, `Res`, `Commands`
etc. It also has a `Trigger` parameter that provides information about
the trigger such as the target entity, and the event being triggered.
Importantly these systems run during command application which is key
for their future use to keep ECS internals up to date. There are similar
events for `OnInsert` and `OnRemove`, and this will be expanded with
things such as `ArchetypeCreated`, `TableEmpty` etc. in follow up PRs.
Another way to register an observer is an "entity observer" that looks
like this:
```rust
world.entity_mut(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {
// ...
});
```
Entity observers run whenever an event of their type is triggered
targeting that specific entity. This type of observer will de-spawn
itself if the entity (or entities) it is observing is ever de-spawned so
as to not leave dangling observers.
Entity observers can also be spawned from deferred contexts such as
other observers, systems, or hooks using commands:
```rust
commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {
// ...
});
```
Observers are not limited to in built event types, they can be used with
any type that implements `Event` (which has been extended to implement
Component). This means events can also carry data:
```rust
#[derive(Event)]
struct Resize { x: u32, y: u32 }
commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>, query: Query<&mut Size>| {
let event = trigger.event();
// ...
});
// Will trigger the observer when commands are applied.
commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, entity);
```
You can also trigger events that target more than one entity at a time:
```rust
commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, [e1, e2]);
```
Additionally, Observers don't _need_ entity targets:
```rust
app.observe(|trigger: Trigger<Quit>| {
})
commands.trigger(Quit);
```
In these cases, `trigger.entity()` will be a placeholder.
Observers are actually just normal entities with an `ObserverState` and
`Observer` component! The `observe()` functions above are just shorthand
for:
```rust
world.spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {});
```
This will spawn the `Observer` system and use an `on_add` hook to add
the `ObserverState` component.
Dynamic components and trigger types are also fully supported allowing
for runtime defined trigger types.
## Possible Follow-ups
1. Deprecate `RemovedComponents`, observers should fulfill all use cases
while being more flexible and performant.
2. Queries as entities: Swap queries to entities and begin using
observers listening to archetype creation triggers to keep their caches
in sync, this allows unification of `ObserverState` and `QueryState` as
well as unlocking several API improvements for `Query` and the
management of `QueryState`.
3. Trigger bubbling: For some UI use cases in particular users are
likely to want some form of bubbling for entity observers, this is
trivial to implement naively but ideally this includes an acceleration
structure to cache hierarchy traversals.
4. All kinds of other in-built trigger types.
5. Optimization; in order to not bloat the complexity of the PR I have
kept the implementation straightforward, there are several areas where
performance can be improved. The focus for this PR is to get the
behavior implemented and not incur a performance cost for users who
don't use observers.
I am leaving each of these to follow up PR's in order to keep each of
them reviewable as this already includes significant changes.

# Objective
While learning about shaders and pipelines, I found this example to be
misleading; it wasn't clear to me how the node knew what the correct
"instance" of `PostProcessSettings` we should send to the shader (as the
combination of `ExtractComponentPlugin` and `UniformComponentPlugin`
extracts + sends _all_ of our `PostProcessSetting` components to the
GPU).
The goal of this PR is to clarify how to target the view specific
`PostProcessSettings` in the shader when there are multiple cameras.
## Solution
To accomplish this, we can use a dynamic uniform buffer for
`PostProcessSettings`, querying for the relevant `DynamicUniformIndex`
in the `PostProcessNode` to get the relevant index to use with the bind
group.
While the example in its current state is _correct_, I believe that fact
that it's intended to showcase a per camera post processing effect
warrants a dynamic uniform buffer (even though in the context of this
example we have only one camera, and therefore no adverse behaviour).
## Testing
- Run the `post_processing` example before and after this change,
verifying they behave the same.
## Reviewer notes
This is my first PR to Bevy, and I'm by no means an expert in the world
of rendering (though I'm trying to learn all I can). If there's a better
way to do this / a reason not to take this route, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks in advance.

# Objective
- My attempt at fulfilling #13629.
## Solution
Renames the `and_then` / `or_else` run condition methods to `and` /
`or`, respectively.
Extends the run conditions API to include a suite of binary logical
operators:
- `and`
- `or`
- `nand`
- `nor`
- `xor`
- `xnor`
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- The test **run_condition_combinators** was extended to include the
added run condition combinators. A **double_counter** system was added
to test for combinators running on even count cycles.
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- I'm not too sure how I feel about the "counter" style of testing but I
wanted to keep it consistent. If it's just a unit test I would prefer
simply to just assert `true` == _combinator output_ or `false` ==
_combinator output_ .
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- Nothing too specific. The added methods should be equivalent to the
logical operators they are analogous to (`&&` , `||`, `^`, `!`).
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
- Should not be relevant, I'm using Windows.
## Changelog
- What changed as a result of this PR?
- The run conditions API.
- If applicable, organize changes under "Added", "Changed", or "Fixed"
sub-headings
- Changed:
- `and_then` run condition combinator renamed to simply `and`
- `or_else` run condition combinator renamed to simply `or`
- Added:
- `nand` run condition combinator.
- `nor` run condition combinator.
- `xor` run condition combinator.
- `xnor` run condition combinator.
## Migration Guide
- The `and_then` run condition method has been replaced with the `and`
run condition method.
- The `or_else` run condition method has been replaced with the `or` run
condition method.

# Objective
Fixes#13711
## Solution
Introduce smaller, generic system sets for each schedule variant, which
are ordered against other generic variants:
- `ExitSchedules<S>` - For `OnExit` schedules, runs from leaf states to
root states.
- `TransitionSchedules<S>` - For `OnTransition` schedules, runs in
arbitrary order.
- `EnterSchedules<S>` - For `OnEnter` schedules, runs from root states
to leaf states.
Also unified `ApplyStateTransition<S>` schedule which works in basically
the same way, just for internals.

# Objective
Partially address #13408
Rework of #13613
Unify the very nice forms of interpolation specifically present in
`bevy_math` under a shared trait upon which further behavior can be
based.
The ideas in this PR were prompted by [Lerp smoothing is broken by Freya
Holmer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSNQuFEDOyQ).
## Solution
There is a new trait `StableInterpolate` in `bevy_math::common_traits`
which enshrines a quite-specific notion of interpolation with a lot of
guarantees:
```rust
/// A type with a natural interpolation that provides strong subdivision guarantees.
///
/// Although the only required method is `interpolate_stable`, many things are expected of it:
///
/// 1. The notion of interpolation should follow naturally from the semantics of the type, so
/// that inferring the interpolation mode from the type alone is sensible.
///
/// 2. The interpolation recovers something equivalent to the starting value at `t = 0.0`
/// and likewise with the ending value at `t = 1.0`.
///
/// 3. Importantly, the interpolation must be *subdivision-stable*: for any interpolation curve
/// between two (unnamed) values and any parameter-value pairs `(t0, p)` and `(t1, q)`, the
/// interpolation curve between `p` and `q` must be the *linear* reparametrization of the original
/// interpolation curve restricted to the interval `[t0, t1]`.
///
/// The last of these conditions is very strong and indicates something like constant speed. It
/// is called "subdivision stability" because it guarantees that breaking up the interpolation
/// into segments and joining them back together has no effect.
///
/// Here is a diagram depicting it:
/// ```text
/// top curve = u.interpolate_stable(v, t)
///
/// t0 => p t1 => q
/// |-------------|---------|-------------|
/// 0 => u / \ 1 => v
/// / \
/// / \
/// / linear \
/// / reparametrization \
/// / t = t0 * (1 - s) + t1 * s \
/// / \
/// |-------------------------------------|
/// 0 => p 1 => q
///
/// bottom curve = p.interpolate_stable(q, s)
/// ```
///
/// Note that some common forms of interpolation do not satisfy this criterion. For example,
/// [`Quat::lerp`] and [`Rot2::nlerp`] are not subdivision-stable.
///
/// Furthermore, this is not to be used as a general trait for abstract interpolation.
/// Consumers rely on the strong guarantees in order for behavior based on this trait to be
/// well-behaved.
///
/// [`Quat::lerp`]: crate::Quat::lerp
/// [`Rot2::nlerp`]: crate::Rot2::nlerp
pub trait StableInterpolate: Clone {
/// Interpolate between this value and the `other` given value using the parameter `t`.
/// Note that the parameter `t` is not necessarily clamped to lie between `0` and `1`.
/// When `t = 0.0`, `self` is recovered, while `other` is recovered at `t = 1.0`,
/// with intermediate values lying between the two.
fn interpolate_stable(&self, other: &Self, t: f32) -> Self;
}
```
This trait has a blanket implementation over `NormedVectorSpace`, where
`lerp` is used, along with implementations for `Rot2`, `Quat`, and the
direction types using variants of `slerp`. Other areas may choose to
implement this trait in order to hook into its functionality, but the
stringent requirements must actually be met.
This trait bears no direct relationship with `bevy_animation`'s
`Animatable` trait, although they may choose to use `interpolate_stable`
in their trait implementations if they wish, as both traits involve
type-inferred interpolations of the same kind. `StableInterpolate` is
not a supertrait of `Animatable` for a couple reasons:
1. Notions of interpolation in animation are generally going to be much
more general than those allowed under these constraints.
2. Laying out these generalized interpolation notions is the domain of
`bevy_animation` rather than of `bevy_math`. (Consider also that
inferring interpolation from types is not universally desirable.)
Similarly, this is not implemented on `bevy_color`'s color types,
although their current mixing behavior does meet the conditions of the
trait.
As an aside, the subdivision-stability condition is of interest
specifically for the [Curve
RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/80), where it also ensures
a kind of stability for subsampling.
Importantly, this trait ensures that the "smooth following" behavior
defined in this PR behaves predictably:
```rust
/// Smoothly nudge this value towards the `target` at a given decay rate. The `decay_rate`
/// parameter controls how fast the distance between `self` and `target` decays relative to
/// the units of `delta`; the intended usage is for `decay_rate` to generally remain fixed,
/// while `delta` is something like `delta_time` from an updating system. This produces a
/// smooth following of the target that is independent of framerate.
///
/// More specifically, when this is called repeatedly, the result is that the distance between
/// `self` and a fixed `target` attenuates exponentially, with the rate of this exponential
/// decay given by `decay_rate`.
///
/// For example, at `decay_rate = 0.0`, this has no effect.
/// At `decay_rate = f32::INFINITY`, `self` immediately snaps to `target`.
/// In general, higher rates mean that `self` moves more quickly towards `target`.
///
/// # Example
/// ```
/// # use bevy_math::{Vec3, StableInterpolate};
/// # let delta_time: f32 = 1.0 / 60.0;
/// let mut object_position: Vec3 = Vec3::ZERO;
/// let target_position: Vec3 = Vec3::new(2.0, 3.0, 5.0);
/// // Decay rate of ln(10) => after 1 second, remaining distance is 1/10th
/// let decay_rate = f32::ln(10.0);
/// // Calling this repeatedly will move `object_position` towards `target_position`:
/// object_position.smooth_nudge(&target_position, decay_rate, delta_time);
/// ```
fn smooth_nudge(&mut self, target: &Self, decay_rate: f32, delta: f32) {
self.interpolate_stable_assign(target, 1.0 - f32::exp(-decay_rate * delta));
}
```
As the documentation indicates, the intention is for this to be called
in game update systems, and `delta` would be something like
`Time::delta_seconds` in Bevy, allowing positions, orientations, and so
on to smoothly follow a target. A new example, `smooth_follow`,
demonstrates a basic implementation of this, with a sphere smoothly
following a sharply moving target:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/7124b28b-6361-47e3-acf7-d1578ebd0347
## Testing
Tested by running the example with various parameters.
# Objective
This PR addresses the 2D part of #12658. I plan to separate the examples
and make one PR per camera example.
## Solution
Added a new top-down example composed of:
- [x] Player keyboard movements
- [x] UI for keyboard instructions
- [x] Colors and bloom effect to see the movement of the player
- [x] Camera smooth movement towards the player (lerp)
## Testing
```bash
cargo run --features="wayland,bevy/dynamic_linking" --example 2d_top_down_camera

# Objective
- Where possible, it's recommended to use `BufferVec` over
`encase::StorageBuffer` for performance reason. It doesn't really matter
for the example, but it's still important to teach the better solution.
## Solution
- Use BufferVec in the gpu_readback example
# Objective
- Implement `Meshable` for `Extrusion<T>`
## Solution
- `Meshable` requires `Meshable::Output: MeshBuilder` now. This means
that all `some_primitive.mesh()` calls now return a `MeshBuilder`. These
were added for primitives that did not have one prior to this.
- A new trait `Extrudable: MeshBuilder` has been added. This trait
allows you to specify the indices of the perimeter of the mesh created
by this `MeshBuilder` and whether they are to be shaded smooth or flat.
- `Extrusion<P: Primitive2d + Meshable>` is now `Meshable` aswell. The
associated `MeshBuilder` is `ExtrusionMeshBuilder` which is generic over
`P` and uses the `MeshBuilder` of its baseshape internally.
- `ExtrusionMeshBuilder` exposes the configuration functions of its
base-shapes builder.
- Updated the `3d_shapes` example to include `Extrusion`s
## Migration Guide
- Depending on the context, you may need to explicitly call
`.mesh().build()` on primitives where you have previously called
`.mesh()`
- The `Output` type of custom `Meshable` implementations must now derive
`MeshBuilder`.
## Additional information
- The extrusions UVs are done so that
- the front face (`+Z`) is in the area between `(0, 0)` and `(0.5,
0.5)`,
- the back face (`-Z`) is in the area between `(0.5, 0)` and `(1, 0.5)`
- the mantle is in the area between `(0, 0.5)` and `(1, 1)`. Each
`PerimeterSegment` you specified in the `Extrudable` implementation will
be allocated an equal portion of this area.
- The UVs of the base shape are scaled to be in the front/back area so
whatever method of filling the full UV-space the base shape used is how
these areas will be filled.
Here is an example of what that looks like on a capsule:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/62256001/425ad288-fbbc-4634-9d3f-5e846cdce85f
This is the texture used:
The `3d_shapes` example now looks like this:

This commit implements a large subset of [*subpixel morphological
antialiasing*], better known as SMAA. SMAA is a 2011 antialiasing
technique that detects jaggies in an aliased image and smooths them out.
Despite its age, it's been a continual staple of games for over a
decade. Four quality presets are available: *low*, *medium*, *high*, and
*ultra*. I set the default to *high*, on account of modern GPUs being
significantly faster than they were in 2011.
Like the already-implemented FXAA, SMAA works on an unaliased image.
Unlike FXAA, it requires three passes: (1) edge detection; (2) blending
weight calculation; (3) neighborhood blending. Each of the first two
passes writes an intermediate texture for use by the next pass. The
first pass also writes to a stencil buffer in order to dramatically
reduce the number of pixels that the second pass has to examine. Also
unlike FXAA, two built-in lookup textures are required; I bundle them
into the library in compressed KTX2 format.
The [reference implementation of SMAA] is in HLSL, with abundant use of
preprocessor macros to achieve GLSL compatibility. Unfortunately, the
reference implementation predates WGSL by over a decade, so I had to
translate the HLSL to WGSL manually. As much as was reasonably possible
without sacrificing readability, I tried to translate line by line,
preserving comments, both to aid reviewing and to allow patches to the
HLSL to more easily apply to the WGSL. Most of SMAA's features are
supported, but in the interests of making this patch somewhat less huge,
I skipped a few of the more exotic ones:
* The temporal variant is currently unsupported. This is and has been
used in shipping games, so supporting temporal SMAA would be useful
follow-up work. It would, however, require some significant work on TAA
to ensure compatibility, so I opted to skip it in this patch.
* Depth- and chroma-based edge detection are unimplemented; only luma
is. Depth is lower-quality, but faster; chroma is higher-quality, but
slower. Luma is the suggested default edge detection algorithm. (Note
that depth-based edge detection wouldn't work on WebGL 2 anyway, because
of the Naga bug whereby depth sampling is miscompiled in GLSL. This is
the same bug that prevents depth of field from working on that
platform.)
* Predicated thresholding is currently unsupported.
* My implementation is incompatible with SSAA and MSAA, unlike the
original; MSAA must be turned off to use SMAA in Bevy. I believe this
feature was rarely used in practice.
The `anti_aliasing` example has been updated to allow experimentation
with and testing of the different SMAA quality presets. Along the way, I
refactored the example's help text rendering code a bit to eliminate
code repetition.
SMAA is fully supported on WebGL 2.
Fixes#9819.

Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9130.
## Solution
- Allow `StateTransitionEvent<S>` to contain identity transitions.
- Ignore identity transitions at schedule running level (`OnExit`,
`OnTransition`, `OnEnter`).
- Propagate identity transitions through `SubStates` and
`ComputedStates`.
- Add example about registering custom transition schedules.
## Changelog
- `StateTransitionEvent<S>` can be emitted with same `exited` and
`entered` state.

# Objective
Move `StateScoped` and `log_transitions` to `bevy_state`, since they're
useful for end users.
Addresses #12852, although not in the way the issue had in mind.
## Solution
- Added `bevy_hierarchy` to default features of `bevy_state`.
- Move `log_transitions` to `transitions` module.
- Move `StateScoped` to `state_scoped` module, gated behind
`bevy_hierarchy` feature.
- Refreshed implementation.
- Added `enable_state_coped_entities<S: States>()` to add required
machinery to `App` for clearing state-scoped entities.
## Changelog
- Added `log_transitions` for displaying state transitions.
- Added `StateScoped` for binding entity lifetime to state and app
`enable_state_coped_entities` to register cleaning behavior.

We want to use the clustering infrastructure for light probes and decals
as well, not just point lights. This patch builds on top of #13640 and
performs the rename.
To make this series easier to review, this patch makes no code changes.
Only identifiers and comments are modified.
## Migration Guide
* In the PBR shaders, `point_lights` is now known as
`clusterable_objects`, `PointLight` is now known as `ClusterableObject`,
and `cluster_light_index_lists` is now known as
`clusterable_object_index_lists`.
This commit implements support for physically-based anisotropy in Bevy's
`StandardMaterial`, following the specification for the
[`KHR_materials_anisotropy`] glTF extension.
[*Anisotropy*] (not to be confused with [anisotropic filtering]) is a
PBR feature that allows roughness to vary along the tangent and
bitangent directions of a mesh. In effect, this causes the specular
light to stretch out into lines instead of a round lobe. This is useful
for modeling brushed metal, hair, and similar surfaces. Support for
anisotropy is a common feature in major game and graphics engines;
Unity, Unreal, Godot, three.js, and Blender all support it to varying
degrees.
Two new parameters have been added to `StandardMaterial`:
`anisotropy_strength` and `anisotropy_rotation`. Anisotropy strength,
which ranges from 0 to 1, represents how much the roughness differs
between the tangent and the bitangent of the mesh. In effect, it
controls how stretched the specular highlight is. Anisotropy rotation
allows the roughness direction to differ from the tangent of the model.
In addition to these two fixed parameters, an *anisotropy texture* can
be supplied. Such a texture should be a 3-channel RGB texture, where the
red and green values specify a direction vector using the same
conventions as a normal map ([0, 1] color values map to [-1, 1] vector
values), and the the blue value represents the strength. This matches
the format that the [`KHR_materials_anisotropy`] specification requires.
Such textures should be loaded as linear and not sRGB. Note that this
texture does consume one additional texture binding in the standard
material shader.
The glTF loader has been updated to properly parse the
`KHR_materials_anisotropy` extension.
A new example, `anisotropy`, has been added. This example loads and
displays the barn lamp example from the [`glTF-Sample-Assets`]
repository. Note that the textures were rather large, so I shrunk them
down and converted them to a mixture of JPEG and KTX2 format, in the
interests of saving space in the Bevy repository.

### Added

# Objective
- Fixes#10909
- Fixes#8492
## Solution
- Name all matrices `x_from_y`, for example `world_from_view`.
## Testing
- I've tested most of the 3D examples. The `lighting` example
particularly should hit a lot of the changes and appears to run fine.
---
## Changelog
- Renamed matrices across the engine to follow a `y_from_x` naming,
making the space conversion more obvious.
## Migration Guide
- `Frustum`'s `from_view_projection`, `from_view_projection_custom_far`
and `from_view_projection_no_far` were renamed to
`from_clip_from_world`, `from_clip_from_world_custom_far` and
`from_clip_from_world_no_far`.
- `ComputedCameraValues::projection_matrix` was renamed to
`clip_from_view`.
- `CameraProjection::get_projection_matrix` was renamed to
`get_clip_from_view` (this affects implementations on `Projection`,
`PerspectiveProjection` and `OrthographicProjection`).
- `ViewRangefinder3d::from_view_matrix` was renamed to
`from_world_from_view`.
- `PreviousViewData`'s members were renamed to `view_from_world` and
`clip_from_world`.
- `ExtractedView`'s `projection`, `transform` and `view_projection` were
renamed to `clip_from_view`, `world_from_view` and `clip_from_world`.
- `ViewUniform`'s `view_proj`, `unjittered_view_proj`,
`inverse_view_proj`, `view`, `inverse_view`, `projection` and
`inverse_projection` were renamed to `clip_from_world`,
`unjittered_clip_from_world`, `world_from_clip`, `world_from_view`,
`view_from_world`, `clip_from_view` and `view_from_clip`.
- `GpuDirectionalCascade::view_projection` was renamed to
`clip_from_world`.
- `MeshTransforms`' `transform` and `previous_transform` were renamed to
`world_from_local` and `previous_world_from_local`.
- `MeshUniform`'s `transform`, `previous_transform`,
`inverse_transpose_model_a` and `inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed
to `world_from_local`, `previous_world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh` type in WGSL mirrors this, however `transform` and
`previous_transform` were named `model` and `previous_model`).
- `Mesh2dTransforms::transform` was renamed to `world_from_local`.
- `Mesh2dUniform`'s `transform`, `inverse_transpose_model_a` and
`inverse_transpose_model_b` were renamed to `world_from_local`,
`local_from_world_transpose_a` and `local_from_world_transpose_b` (the
`Mesh2d` type in WGSL mirrors this).
- In WGSL, in `bevy_pbr::mesh_functions`, `get_model_matrix` and
`get_previous_model_matrix` were renamed to `get_world_from_local` and
`get_previous_world_from_local`.
- In WGSL, `bevy_sprite::mesh2d_functions::get_model_matrix` was renamed
to `get_world_from_local`.
# Objective
- Add GizmoBuilders for some primitives as discussed in #13233
## Solution
- `gizmos.primitive_2d(CIRCLE)` and `gizmos.primitive_2d(ELLIPSE)` now
return `Ellipse2dBuilder` aswell.
- `gizmos.primitive_3d(SPHERE)` and `gizmos.sphere()` now return the
same `SphereBuilder`.
- the `.circle_segments` method on the `SphereBuilder` that used to be
returned by `.sphere()` is now called `.segments`
- the sphere primitive gizmo now matches the `gizmos.sphere` gizmo
- `gizmos.primitive_2d(ANNULUS)` now returns a `Annulus2dBuilder`
allowing the configuration of the `segments`
- gizmos cylinders and capsules now have only 1 line per axis, similar
to `gizmos.sphere`
## Migration Guide
- Some `gizmos.primitive_nd` methods now return some or different
builders. You may need to adjust types and match statements
- Replace any calls to `circle_segments()` with `.segments()`

# Objective
- Plane subdivision was removed without providing an alternative
## Solution
- Add subdivision to the PlaneMeshBuilder

## Migration Guide
If you were using `Plane` `subdivisions`, you now need to use
`Plane3d::default().mesh().subdivisions(10)`
fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13258
Currently copypasting the example into a new project without also
copying "shaders/game_of_life.wgsl" gives an unhelpful blank screen.
This change makes it panic instead. I think nicer error handling is
outside scope of the example, and this is good enough to point out that
the shader code is missing.
# Objective
- fixes#4823
## Solution
As outlined in the discussion in the linked issue as the best current
solution, this PR adds specific GltfExtras for
- scenes
- meshes
- materials
- As it is , it is not a breaking change, I hesitated to rename the
current "GltfExtras" component to "PrimitiveGltfExtras", but that would
result in a breaking change and might be a bit confusing as to what
"primitive" that refers to.
## Testing
- I included a bare-bones example & asset (exported gltf file from
Blender) with gltf extras at all the relevant levels : scene, mesh,
material
---
## Changelog
- adds "SceneGltfExtras" injected at the scene level if any
- adds "MeshGltfExtras", injected at the mesh level if any
- adds "MaterialGltfExtras", injected at the mesh level if any: ie if a
mesh has a material that has gltf extras, the component will be injected
there.
# Objective
- Upgrade winit to v0.30
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13331
## Solution
This is a rewrite/adaptation of the new trait system described and
implemented in `winit` v0.30.
## Migration Guide
The custom UserEvent is now renamed as WakeUp, used to wake up the loop
if anything happens outside the app (a new
[custom_user_event](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13366/files#diff-2de8c0a8d3028d0059a3d80ae31b2bbc1cde2595ce2d317ea378fe3e0cf6ef2d)
shows this behavior.
The internal `UpdateState` has been removed and replaced internally by
the AppLifecycle. When changed, the AppLifecycle is sent as an event.
The `UpdateMode` now accepts only two values: `Continuous` and
`Reactive`, but the latter exposes 3 new properties to enable reactive
to device, user or window events. The previous `UpdateMode::Reactive` is
now equivalent to `UpdateMode::reactive()`, while
`UpdateMode::ReactiveLowPower` to `UpdateMode::reactive_low_power()`.
The `ApplicationLifecycle` has been renamed as `AppLifecycle`, and now
contains the possible values of the application state inside the event
loop:
* `Idle`: the loop has not started yet
* `Running` (previously called `Started`): the loop is running
* `WillSuspend`: the loop is going to be suspended
* `Suspended`: the loop is suspended
* `WillResume`: the loop is going to be resumed
Note: the `Resumed` state has been removed since the resumed app is just
running.
Finally, now that `winit` enables this, it extends the `WinitPlugin` to
support custom events.
## Test platforms
- [x] Windows
- [x] MacOs
- [x] Linux (x11)
- [x] Linux (Wayland)
- [x] Android
- [x] iOS
- [x] WASM/WebGPU
- [x] WASM/WebGL2
## Outstanding issues / regressions
- [ ] iOS: build failed in CI
- blocking, but may just be flakiness
- [x] Cross-platform: when the window is maximised, changes in the scale
factor don't apply, to make them apply one has to make the window
smaller again. (Re-maximising keeps the updated scale factor)
- non-blocking, but good to fix
- [ ] Android: it's pretty easy to quickly open and close the app and
then the music keeps playing when suspended.
- non-blocking but worrying
- [ ] Web: the application will hang when switching tabs
- Not new, duplicate of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13486
- [ ] Cross-platform?: Screenshot failure, `ERROR present_frames:
wgpu_core::present: No work has been submitted for this frame before`
taking the first screenshot, but after pressing space
- non-blocking, but good to fix

# Objective
Fixes#13606.
Also Fixes#13614.
## Solution
Added the missing trait impls, and made `gizmos.arc_2d()` work with a
counter-clockwise angle.
## Testing
- Updated the render_primitives example, and it works.
# Objective
- Followup to #13548
- It added a list of all possible labels to documentation. This seems
hard to keep up and doesn't stop people from making spelling mistake
## Solution
- Add an enum that can create all the labels possible, and encourage its
use rather than manually typed labels

# Objective
- The default font size is too small to be useful in examples or for
debug text.
- Fixes#13587
## Solution
- Updated the default font size value in `TextStyle` from 12px to 24px.
- Resorted to Text defaults in examples to use the default font size in
most of them.
## Testing
- WIP
---
## Migration Guide
- The default font size has been increased to 24px from 12px. Make sure
you set the font to the appropriate values in places you were using
`Default` text style.
# Objective
Unifies the naming convention between `StateTransitionEvent<S>` and
transition schedules.
## Migration Guide
- `StateTransitionEvent<S>` and `OnTransition<S>` schedule had their
fields renamed to `exited` and `entered` to match schedules.
# Objective
- In #13542 I broke example `color_grading`: the UI is not updated to
reflect changed camera settings
- Fixes#13590.
## Solution
- Update the UI when changing color grading
## Objective
Use the "standard" text size / placement for the new text in these
examples.
Continuation of an effort started here:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8478
This is definitely not comprehensive. I did the ones that were easy to
find and relatively straightforward updates. I meant to just do
`3d_shapes` and `2d_shapes`, but one thing lead to another.
## Solution
Use `font_size: 20.0`, the default (built-in) font, `Color::WHITE`
(default), and `Val::Px(12.)` from the edges of the screen.
There are a few little drive-by cleanups of defaults not being used,
etc.
## Testing
Ran the changed examples, verified that they still look reasonable.
# Objective
- In particularly dark scenes, auto-exposure would lead to an unexpected
darkening of the view.
- Fixes#13446.
## Solution
The average luminance should default to something else than 0.0 instead,
when there are no samples. We set it to `settings.min_log_lum`.
## Testing
I was able to reproduce the problem on the `auto_exposure` example by
setting the point light intensity to 2000 and looking into the
right-hand corner. There was a sudden darkening.
Now, the discontinuity is gone.

# Objective
- Fixes#13521
## Solution
Set `ambient_intensity` to 0.0 in volumetric_fog example.
I chose setting it explicitly over changing the default in order to make
it clear that this needs to be set depending on whether you have an
`EnvironmentMapLight`. See documentation for `ambient_intensity` and
related members.
## Testing
- Run the volumetric_fog example and notice how the light shown in
#13521 is not there anymore, as expected.

# Objective
- Small improvements on the `color_grading` example
## Solution
- Simplify button creation by creating them in the default state, the
selected one is automatically selected
- Don't update the UI if not needed
- Also invert the border of the selected button
- Simplify text update
# Objective
- Show + Visually Test that 3D primitive sampling works
- Make an example that looks nice.
## Solution
- Added a `sampling_primitives` examples which shows all the 3D
primitives being sampled, with a firefly aesthetic.
## Testing
- `cargo run --example sampling_primitives`
- Haven't tested WASM.
## Changelog
### Added
- Added a new example, `sampling_primitives`, to showcase all the 3D
sampleable primitives.
## Additional notes:
This example borrowed a bunch of code from the other sampling example,
by @mweatherley.
In future updates this example should be updated with new 3D primitives
as they become sampleable.

# Objective
Fixes#13427.
## Solution
I changed the traits, and updated all usages.
## Testing
The `render_primitives` example still works perfectly.
---
## Changelog
- Made `gizmos.primitive_2d()` and `gizmos.primitive_3d()` take the
primitives by ref.
## Migration Guide
- Any usages of `gizmos.primitive_2d()` and/or `gizmos.primitive_3d()`
need to be updated to pass the primitive in by reference.
# Objective
We introduced a bunch of neat random sampling stuff in this release; we
should do a good job of showing people how to use it, and writing
examples is part of this.
## Solution
A new Math example, `random_sampling`, shows off the `ShapeSample` API
functionality. For the moment, it renders a cube and allows the user to
sample points from its interior or boundary in sets of either 1 or 100:
<img width="1440" alt="Screenshot 2024-05-25 at 1 16 08 PM"
src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/9cb6f53f-c89a-42c2-8907-b11d294c402a">
On the level of code, these are reflected by two ways of using
`ShapeSample`:
```rust
// Get a single random Vec3:
let sample: Vec3 = match *mode {
Mode::Interior => shape.0.sample_interior(rng),
Mode::Boundary => shape.0.sample_boundary(rng),
};
```
```rust
// Get 100 random Vec3s:
let samples: Vec<Vec3> = match *mode {
Mode::Interior => {
let dist = shape.0.interior_dist();
dist.sample_iter(&mut rng).take(100).collect()
}
Mode::Boundary => {
let dist = shape.0.boundary_dist();
dist.sample_iter(&mut rng).take(100).collect()
}
};
```
## Testing
Run the example!
## Discussion
Maybe in the future it would be nice to show off all of the different
shapes that we have implemented `ShapeSample` for, but I wanted to start
just by demonstrating the functionality. Here, I chose a cube because
it's simple and because it looks good rendered transparently with
backface culling disabled.
This commit, a revamp of #12959, implements screen-space reflections
(SSR), which approximate real-time reflections based on raymarching
through the depth buffer and copying samples from the final rendered
frame. This patch is a relatively minimal implementation of SSR, so as
to provide a flexible base on which to customize and build in the
future. However, it's based on the production-quality [raymarching code
by Tomasz
Stachowiak](https://gist.github.com/h3r2tic/9c8356bdaefbe80b1a22ae0aaee192db).
For a general basic overview of screen-space reflections, see
[1](https://lettier.github.io/3d-game-shaders-for-beginners/screen-space-reflection.html).
The raymarching shader uses the basic algorithm of tracing forward in
large steps, refining that trace in smaller increments via binary
search, and then using the secant method. No temporal filtering or
roughness blurring, is performed at all; for this reason, SSR currently
only operates on very shiny surfaces. No acceleration via the
hierarchical Z-buffer is implemented (though note that
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12899 will add the
infrastructure for this). Reflections are traced at full resolution,
which is often considered slow. All of these improvements and more can
be follow-ups.
SSR is built on top of the deferred renderer and is currently only
supported in that mode. Forward screen-space reflections are possible
albeit uncommon (though e.g. *Doom Eternal* uses them); however, they
require tracing from the previous frame, which would add complexity.
This patch leaves the door open to implementing SSR in the forward
rendering path but doesn't itself have such an implementation.
Screen-space reflections aren't supported in WebGL 2, because they
require sampling from the depth buffer, which Naga can't do because of a
bug (`sampler2DShadow` is incorrectly generated instead of `sampler2D`;
this is the same reason why depth of field is disabled on that
platform).
To add screen-space reflections to a camera, use the
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsBundle` bundle or the
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` component. In addition to
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings`, `DepthPrepass` and `DeferredPrepass`
must also be present for the reflections to show up. The
`ScreenSpaceReflectionsSettings` component contains several settings
that artists can tweak, and also comes with sensible defaults.
A new example, `ssr`, has been added. It's loosely based on the
[three.js ocean
sample](https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_shaders_ocean.html), but all
the assets are original. Note that the three.js demo has no screen-space
reflections and instead renders a mirror world. In contrast to #12959,
this demo tests not only a cube but also a more complex model (the
flight helmet).
## Changelog
### Added
* Screen-space reflections can be enabled for very smooth surfaces by
adding the `ScreenSpaceReflections` component to a camera. Deferred
rendering must be enabled for the reflections to appear.
# Objective
- Create a new 2D primitive, Rhombus, also knows as "Diamond Shape"
- Simplify the creation and handling of isometric projections

# Objective
The `ConicalFrustum` primitive should support meshing.
## Solution
Implement meshing for the `ConicalFrustum` primitive. The implementation
is nearly identical to `Cylinder` meshing, but supports two radii.
The default conical frustum is equivalent to a cone with a height of 1
and a radius of 0.5, truncated at half-height.
# Objective
This is just cleanup; we've got some more renderable gizmos and
primitives now that hadn't been added to this example, so let's add
them.
## Solution
In the `render_primitives` example:
- Added `Triangle3d` mesh
- Wrote `primitive_3d` gizmo impl for `Triangle3d` and added the gizmo
- Added `Tetrahedron` mesh and gizmo
I also made the 2d triangle bigger, since it was really small.
## Testing
You can just run the example to see that everything turned out all
right.
## Other
Feel free to let me know if there are other primitives that I missed;
I'm happy to tack them onto this PR.
# Objective
Adopted #11748
## Solution
I've rebased on main to fix the merge conflicts. ~~Not quite ready to
merge yet~~
* Clippy is happy and the tests are passing, but...
* ~~The new shapes in `examples/2d/2d_shapes.rs` don't look right at
all~~ Never mind, looks like radians and degrees just got mixed up at
some point?
* I have updated one doc comment based on a review in the original PR.

# Objective
Supercedes #12881 . Added a simple implementation that allows the user
to react to multiple asset loads both synchronously and asynchronously.
## Solution
Added `load_acquire`, that holds an item and drops it when loading is
finished or failed.
When used synchronously
Hold an `Arc<()>`, check for `Arc::strong_count() == 1` when all loading
completed.
When used asynchronously
Hold a `SemaphoreGuard`, await on `acquire_all` for completion.
This implementation has more freedom than the original in my opinion.

# Objective
Allow the `Tetrahedron` primitive to be used for mesh generation. This
is part of ongoing work to bring unify the capabilities of `bevy_math`
primitives.
## Solution
`Tetrahedron` implements `Meshable`. Essentially, each face is just
meshed as a `Triangle3d`, but first there is an inversion step when the
signed volume of the tetrahedron is negative to ensure that the faces
all actually point outward.
## Testing
I loaded up some examples and hackily exchanged existing meshes with the
new one to see that it works as expected.
# Objective
- Fixes#13412
## Solution
- Renamed `segments` in `bevy_gizmos` to `resolution` and adjusted
examples
## Migration Guide
- When working with gizmos, replace all calls to `.segments(...)` with
`.resolution(...)`
# Objective
- Introduce variants of `LoadContext::load_direct` which allow picking
asset type & configuring settings.
- Fixes#12963.
## Solution
- Implements `ErasedLoadedAsset::downcast` and adds some accessors to
`LoadedAsset<A>`.
- Changes `load_direct`/`load_direct_with_reader` to be typed, and
introduces `load_direct_untyped`/`load_direct_untyped_with_reader`.
- Introduces `load_direct_with_settings` and
`load_direct_with_reader_and_settings`.
## Testing
- I've run cargo test and played with the examples which use
`load_direct`.
- I also extended the `asset_processing` example to use the new typed
version of `load_direct` and use `load_direct_with_settings`.
---
## Changelog
- Introduced new `load_direct` methods in `LoadContext` to allow
specifying type & settings
## Migration Guide
- `LoadContext::load_direct` has been renamed to
`LoadContext::load_direct_untyped`. You may find the new `load_direct`
is more appropriate for your use case (and the migration may only be
moving one type parameter).
- `LoadContext::load_direct_with_reader` has been renamed to
`LoadContext::load_direct_untyped_with_reader`.
---
This might not be an obvious win as a solution because it introduces
quite a few new `load_direct` alternatives - but it does follow the
existing pattern pretty well. I'm very open to alternatives.
😅
This commit makes us stop using the render world ECS for
`BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` and instead use resources
with `EntityHashMap`s inside. There are three reasons to do this:
1. We can use `clear()` to clear out the render phase collections
instead of recreating the components from scratch, allowing us to reuse
allocations.
2. This is a prerequisite for retained bins, because components can't be
retained from frame to frame in the render world, but resources can.
3. We want to move away from storing anything in components in the
render world ECS, and this is a step in that direction.
This patch results in a small performance benefit, due to point (1)
above.
## Changelog
### Changed
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources.
## Migration Guide
* The `BinnedRenderPhase` and `SortedRenderPhase` render world
components have been replaced with `ViewBinnedRenderPhases` and
`ViewSortedRenderPhases` resources. Instead of querying for the
components, look the camera entity up in the
`ViewBinnedRenderPhases`/`ViewSortedRenderPhases` tables.
# Objective
As work on the editor starts to ramp up, it might be nice to start
allowing types to specify custom attributes. These can be used to
provide certain functionality to fields, such as ranges or controlling
how data is displayed.
A good example of this can be seen in
[`bevy-inspector-egui`](https://github.com/jakobhellermann/bevy-inspector-egui)
with its
[`InspectorOptions`](https://docs.rs/bevy-inspector-egui/0.22.1/bevy_inspector_egui/struct.InspectorOptions.html):
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, Default, InspectorOptions)]
#[reflect(InspectorOptions)]
struct Slider {
#[inspector(min = 0.0, max = 1.0)]
value: f32,
}
```
Normally, as demonstrated in the example above, these attributes are
handled by a derive macro and stored in a corresponding `TypeData`
struct (i.e. `ReflectInspectorOptions`).
Ideally, we would have a good way of defining this directly via
reflection so that users don't need to create and manage a whole proc
macro just to allow these sorts of attributes.
And note that this doesn't have to just be for inspectors and editors.
It can be used for things done purely on the code side of things.
## Solution
Create a new method for storing attributes on fields via the `Reflect`
derive.
These custom attributes are stored in type info (e.g. `NamedField`,
`StructInfo`, etc.).
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Slider {
#[reflect(@0.0..=1.0)]
value: f64,
}
let TypeInfo::Struct(info) = Slider::type_info() else {
panic!("expected struct info");
};
let field = info.field("value").unwrap();
let range = field.get_attribute::<RangeInclusive<f64>>().unwrap();
assert_eq!(*range, 0.0..=1.0);
```
## TODO
- [x] ~~Bikeshed syntax~~ Went with a type-based approach, prefixed by
`@` for ease of parsing and flexibility
- [x] Add support for custom struct/tuple struct field attributes
- [x] Add support for custom enum variant field attributes
- [x] ~~Add support for custom enum variant attributes (maybe?)~~ ~~Will
require a larger refactor. Can be saved for a future PR if we really
want it.~~ Actually, we apparently still have support for variant
attributes despite not using them, so it was pretty easy to add lol.
- [x] Add support for custom container attributes
- [x] Allow custom attributes to store any reflectable value (not just
`Lit`)
- [x] ~~Store attributes in registry~~ This PR used to store these in
attributes in the registry, however, it has since switched over to
storing them in type info
- [x] Add example
## Bikeshedding
> [!note]
> This section was made for the old method of handling custom
attributes, which stored them by name (i.e. `some_attribute = 123`). The
PR has shifted away from that, to a more type-safe approach.
>
> This section has been left for reference.
There are a number of ways we can syntactically handle custom
attributes. Feel free to leave a comment on your preferred one! Ideally
we want one that is clear, readable, and concise since these will
potentially see _a lot_ of use.
Below is a small, non-exhaustive list of them. Note that the
`skip_serializing` reflection attribute is added to demonstrate how each
case plays with existing reflection attributes.
<details>
<summary>List</summary>
##### 1. `@(name = value)`
> The `@` was chosen to make them stand out from other attributes and
because the "at" symbol is a subtle pneumonic for "attribute". Of
course, other symbols could be used (e.g. `$`, `#`, etc.).
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Slider {
#[reflect(@(min = 0.0, max = 1.0), skip_serializing)]
#[[reflect(@(bevy_editor::hint = "Range: 0.0 to 1.0"))]
value: f32,
}
```
##### 2. `@name = value`
> This is my personal favorite.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Slider {
#[reflect(@min = 0.0, @max = 1.0, skip_serializing)]
#[[reflect(@bevy_editor::hint = "Range: 0.0 to 1.0")]
value: f32,
}
```
##### 3. `custom_attr(name = value)`
> `custom_attr` can be anything. Other possibilities include `with` or
`tag`.
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Slider {
#[reflect(custom_attr(min = 0.0, max = 1.0), skip_serializing)]
#[[reflect(custom_attr(bevy_editor::hint = "Range: 0.0 to 1.0"))]
value: f32,
}
```
##### 4. `reflect_attr(name = value)`
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Slider {
#[reflect(skip_serializing)]
#[reflect_attr(min = 0.0, max = 1.0)]
#[[reflect_attr(bevy_editor::hint = "Range: 0.0 to 1.0")]
value: f32,
}
```
</details>

# Objective
- in example `render_to_texture`, #13317 changed the comment on the
existing light saying lights don't work on multiple layers, then add a
light on multiple layers explaining that it will work. it's confusing
## Solution
- Keep the original light, with the updated comment
## Testing
- Run example `render_to_texture`, lighting is correct
# Objective
`parallax_mapping` and `deferred_rendering` both use a roundabout way of
manually overriding the srgbness of their normal map textures.
This can now be done with `load_with_settings` in one line of code.
## Solution
- Delete the override systems and use `load_with_settings` instead
- Make `deferred_rendering`'s instruction text style consistent with
other examples while I'm in there.
(see #8478)
## Testing
Tested by running with `load` instead of `load_settings` and confirming
that lighting looks bad when `is_srgb` is not configured, and good when
it is.
## Discussion
It would arguably make more sense to configure this in a `.meta` file,
but I used `load_with_settings` because that's how it was done in the
`clearcoat` example and it does seem nice for documentation purposes to
call this out explicitly in code.
This commit implements a more physically-accurate, but slower, form of
fog than the `bevy_pbr::fog` module does. Notably, this *volumetric fog*
allows for light beams from directional lights to shine through,
creating what is known as *light shafts* or *god rays*.
To add volumetric fog to a scene, add `VolumetricFogSettings` to the
camera, and add `VolumetricLight` to directional lights that you wish to
be volumetric. `VolumetricFogSettings` has numerous settings that allow
you to define the accuracy of the simulation, as well as the look of the
fog. Currently, only interaction with directional lights that have
shadow maps is supported. Note that the overhead of the effect scales
directly with the number of directional lights in use, so apply
`VolumetricLight` sparingly for the best results.
The overall algorithm, which is implemented as a postprocessing effect,
is a combination of the techniques described in [Scratchapixel] and
[this blog post]. It uses raymarching in screen space, transformed into
shadow map space for sampling and combined with physically-based
modeling of absorption and scattering. Bevy employs the widely-used
[Henyey-Greenstein phase function] to model asymmetry; this essentially
allows light shafts to fade into and out of existence as the user views
them.
Volumetric rendering is a huge subject, and I deliberately kept the
scope of this commit small. Possible follow-ups include:
1. Raymarching at a lower resolution.
2. A post-processing blur (especially useful when combined with (1)).
3. Supporting point lights and spot lights.
4. Supporting lights with no shadow maps.
5. Supporting irradiance volumes and reflection probes.
6. Voxel components that reuse the volumetric fog code to create voxel
shapes.
7. *Horizon: Zero Dawn*-style clouds.
These are all useful, but out of scope of this patch for now, to keep
things tidy and easy to review.
A new example, `volumetric_fog`, has been added to demonstrate the
effect.
## Changelog
### Added
* A new component, `VolumetricFog`, is available, to allow for a more
physically-accurate, but more resource-intensive, form of fog.
* A new component, `VolumetricLight`, can be placed on directional
lights to make them interact with `VolumetricFog`. Notably, this allows
such lights to emit light shafts/god rays.

# Objective
Remove the limit of `RenderLayer` by using a growable mask using
`SmallVec`.
Changes adopted from @UkoeHB's initial PR here
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12502 that contained additional
changes related to propagating render layers.
Changes
## Solution
The main thing needed to unblock this is removing `RenderLayers` from
our shader code. This primarily affects `DirectionalLight`. We are now
computing a `skip` field on the CPU that is then used to skip the light
in the shader.
## Testing
Checked a variety of examples and did a quick benchmark on `many_cubes`.
There were some existing problems identified during the development of
the original pr (see:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1220477928605749340/1221190112939872347).
This PR shouldn't change any existing behavior besides removing the
layer limit (sans the comment in migration about `all` layers no longer
being possible).
---
## Changelog
Removed the limit on `RenderLayers` by using a growable bitset that only
allocates when layers greater than 64 are used.
## Migration Guide
- `RenderLayers::all()` no longer exists. Entities expecting to be
visible on all layers, e.g. lights, should compute the active layers
that are in use.

# Objective
- Implement rounded cuboids and rectangles, suggestion of #9400
## Solution
- Added `Gizmos::rounded_cuboid`, `Gizmos::rounded_rect` and
`Gizmos::rounded_rect_2d`.
- All of these return builders that allow configuring of the corner/edge
radius using `.corner_radius(...)` or `.edge_radius(...)` as well as the
line segments of each arc using `.arc_segments(...)`.

## Changelog
- Added a new `rounded_box` module to `bevy_gizmos` containing all of
the above methods and builders.
- Updated the examples `2d_gizmos` and `3d_gizmos`

This commit implements the [depth of field] effect, simulating the blur
of objects out of focus of the virtual lens. Either the [hexagonal
bokeh] effect or a faster Gaussian blur may be used. In both cases, the
implementation is a simple separable two-pass convolution. This is not
the most physically-accurate real-time bokeh technique that exists;
Unreal Engine has [a more accurate implementation] of "cinematic depth
of field" from 2018. However, it's simple, and most engines provide
something similar as a fast option, often called "mobile" depth of
field.
The general approach is outlined in [a blog post from 2017]. We take
advantage of the fact that both Gaussian blurs and hexagonal bokeh blurs
are *separable*. This means that their 2D kernels can be reduced to a
small number of 1D kernels applied one after another, asymptotically
reducing the amount of work that has to be done. Gaussian blurs can be
accomplished by blurring horizontally and then vertically, while
hexagonal bokeh blurs can be done with a vertical blur plus a diagonal
blur, plus two diagonal blurs. In both cases, only two passes are
needed. Bokeh requires the first pass to have a second render target and
requires two subpasses in the second pass, which decreases its
performance relative to the Gaussian blur.
The bokeh blur is generally more aesthetically pleasing than the
Gaussian blur, as it simulates the effect of a camera more accurately.
The shape of the bokeh circles are determined by the number of blades of
the aperture. In our case, we use a hexagon, which is usually considered
specific to lower-quality cameras. (This is a downside of the fast
hexagon approach compared to the higher-quality approaches.) The blur
amount is generally specified by the [f-number], which we use to compute
the focal length from the film size and FOV. By default, we simulate
standard cinematic cameras of f/1 and [Super 35]. The developer can
customize these values as desired.
A new example has been added to demonstrate depth of field. It allows
customization of the mode (Gaussian vs. bokeh), focal distance and
f-numbers. The test scene is inspired by a [blog post on depth of field
in Unity]; however, the effect is implemented in a completely different
way from that blog post, and all the assets (textures, etc.) are
original.

# Objective
The `Cone` primitive should support meshing.
## Solution
Implement meshing for the `Cone` primitive. The default cone has a
height of 1 and a base radius of 0.5, and is centered at the origin.
An issue with cone meshes is that the tip does not really have a normal
that works, even with duplicated vertices. This PR uses only a single
vertex for the tip, with a normal of zero; this results in an "invalid"
normal that gets ignored by the fragment shader. This seems to be the
only approach we have for perfectly smooth cones. For discussion on the
topic, see #10298 and #5891.
Another thing to note is that the cone uses polar coordinates for the
UVs:

This way, textures are applied as if looking at the cone from above:

# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12597
The current tracing customization option (the `update_subscriber` field)
was basically unusable because it provides a `dyn Subscriber` and most
layers require a `Subscriber` that also implements `for<'a>
LookupSpan<'a, Data=Data<'a>>`, so it was impossible to add a layer on
top of the `dyn Subscriber`.
This PR provides an alternative way of adding additional tracing layers
to the LogPlugin by instead creating an `Option<Layer>`.
This is enough for most situations because `Option<Layer>` and
`Vec<Layer>` both implement `Layer`.
## Solution
- Replace the `update_subscriber` field of `LogPlugin` with a
`custom_layer` field which is function pointer returning an
`Option<BoxedLayer>`
- Update the examples to showcase that this works:
- with multiple additional layers
- with Layers that were previously problematic, such as
`bevy::log::tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer().with_file(true)` (mentioned
in the issue)
Note that in the example this results in duplicate logs, since we have
our own layer on top of the default `fmt_layer` added in the LogPlugin;
maybe in the future we might want to provide a single one? Or to let the
user customize the default `fmt_layer` ? I still think this change is an
improvement upon the previous solution, which was basically broken.
---
## Changelog
> This section is optional. If this was a trivial fix, or has no
externally-visible impact, you can delete this section.
- The `LogPlugin`'s `update_subscriber` field has been replaced with
`custom_layer` to allow the user to flexibly add a `tracing::Layer` to
the layer stack

- Use a vec2 for padding
- Fix error initializing the `MotionBlur` struct on wasm+webgl2
- Disable MSAA on wasm+webgl2
- Fix `GlobalsUniform` padding getting added on the shader side for
webgpu builds
## Notes
The motion blur example now runs, but with artifacts. In addition to the
obvious black artifacts, the motion blur or dithering seem to just look
worse in a way I can't really describe. That may be expected.

# Objective
Extracts the state mechanisms into a new crate called "bevy_state".
This comes with a few goals:
- state wasn't really an inherent machinery of the ecs system, and so
keeping it within bevy_ecs felt forced
- by mixing it in with bevy_ecs, the maintainability of our more robust
state system was significantly compromised
moving state into a new crate makes it easier to encapsulate as it's own
feature, and easier to read and understand since it's no longer a
single, massive file.
## Solution
move the state-related elements from bevy_ecs to a new crate
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? all the automated tests
migrated and passed, ran the pre-existing examples without changes to
validate.
---
## Migration Guide
Since bevy_state is now gated behind the `bevy_state` feature, projects
that use state but don't use the `default-features` will need to add
that feature flag.
Since it is no longer part of bevy_ecs, projects that use bevy_ecs
directly will need to manually pull in `bevy_state`, trigger the
StateTransition schedule, and handle any of the elements that bevy_app
currently sets up.

# Objective
Since `align` was introduced, it has been reworked to allow the input of
`Dir3` instead of `Vec3`, and we also introduced random sampling for
points on a sphere and then for `Dir3`. Previously, this example rolled
its own random generation, but it doesn't need to any more.
## Solution
Refactor the 'align' example to use `Dir3` instead of `Vec3`, using the
`bevy_math` API for random directions.
Switched the return type from `Vec3` to `Dir3` for directional axis
methods within the `GlobalTransform` component.
## Migration Guide
The `GlobalTransform` component's directional axis methods (e.g.,
`right()`, `left()`, `up()`, `down()`, `back()`, `forward()`) have been
updated from returning `Vec3` to `Dir3`.
Clearcoat is a separate material layer that represents a thin
translucent layer of a material. Examples include (from the [Filament
spec]) car paint, soda cans, and lacquered wood. This commit implements
support for clearcoat following the Filament and Khronos specifications,
marking the beginnings of support for multiple PBR layers in Bevy.
The [`KHR_materials_clearcoat`] specification describes the clearcoat
support in glTF. In Blender, applying a clearcoat to the Principled BSDF
node causes the clearcoat settings to be exported via this extension. As
of this commit, Bevy parses and reads the extension data when present in
glTF. Note that the `gltf` crate has no support for
`KHR_materials_clearcoat`; this patch therefore implements the JSON
semantics manually.
Clearcoat is integrated with `StandardMaterial`, but the code is behind
a series of `#ifdef`s that only activate when clearcoat is present.
Additionally, the `pbr_feature_layer_material_textures` Cargo feature
must be active in order to enable support for clearcoat factor maps,
clearcoat roughness maps, and clearcoat normal maps. This approach
mirrors the same pattern used by the existing transmission feature and
exists to avoid running out of texture bindings on platforms like WebGL
and WebGPU. Note that constant clearcoat factors and roughness values
*are* supported in the browser; only the relatively-less-common maps are
disabled on those platforms.
This patch refactors the lighting code in `StandardMaterial`
significantly in order to better support multiple layers in a natural
way. That code was due for a refactor in any case, so this is a nice
improvement.
A new demo, `clearcoat`, has been added. It's based on [the
corresponding three.js demo], but all the assets (aside from the skybox
and environment map) are my original work.

## Changelog
### Added
* `StandardMaterial` now supports a clearcoat layer, which represents a
thin translucent layer over an underlying material.
* The glTF loader now supports the `KHR_materials_clearcoat` extension,
representing materials with clearcoat layers.
## Migration Guide
* The lighting functions in the `pbr_lighting` WGSL module now have
clearcoat parameters, if `STANDARD_MATERIAL_CLEARCOAT` is defined.
* The `R` reflection vector parameter has been removed from some
lighting functions, as it was unused.
# Objective
- In PR #12882 I added a new example which contained a comment with an
unfinished and cut off sentence. This wasn't caught until after the PR
was merged.
- This simply finishes that comment.
## Solution
- Finished the incomplete comment.
## Testing
- This is simply a comment change so no testing needed other than
reading it.
# Objective
Dynamic types can be tricky to understand and work with in bevy_reflect.
There should be an example that shows what they are and how they're
used.
## Solution
Add a `Dynamic Types` reflection example.
I'm planning to go through the reflection examples, adding new ones and
updating old ones. And I think this walkthrough style tends to work
best. Due to the amount of text and associated explanation, it might fit
better in a dedicated reflection chapter of the WIP Bevy Book. However,
I think it might be valuable to have some public-facing tutorials for
these concepts.
Let me know if there any thoughts or critiques with the example— both in
content and this overall structure!
## Testing
To test these changes, you can run the example locally:
```
cargo run --example dynamic_types
```
---
## Changelog
- Add `Dynamic Types` reflection example
# Objective
The `custom_loop` example didn't replicate the `app.finish` /
`app.cleanup` calls from the default runner; I discovered this when
trying to troubleshoot why my application with a custom loop wasn't
calling its plugin finalizers, and realised that the upstream example
that I'd referenced didn't have the relevant calls.
## Solution
Added the missing calls, replicating what the default runner does:
d390420093/crates/bevy_app/src/app.rs (L895-L896)
## Testing
I've confirmed that adding these two calls to my application fixed the
issue I was encountering. I haven't tested it within the example itself
as it's relatively straightforward and I didn't want to pollute the
example with a plugin using a finalizer.
# Objective
- Add auto exposure/eye adaptation to the bevy render pipeline.
- Support features that users might expect from other engines:
- Metering masks
- Compensation curves
- Smooth exposure transitions
This PR is based on an implementation I already built for a personal
project before https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8809 was
submitted, so I wasn't able to adopt that PR in the proper way. I've
still drawn inspiration from it, so @fintelia should be credited as
well.
## Solution
An auto exposure compute shader builds a 64 bin histogram of the scene's
luminance, and then adjusts the exposure based on that histogram. Using
a histogram allows the system to ignore outliers like shadows and
specular highlights, and it allows to give more weight to certain areas
based on a mask.

- Added: AutoExposure plugin that allows to adjust a camera's exposure
based on it's scene's luminance.

Implement visibility ranges, also known as hierarchical levels of detail
(HLODs).
This commit introduces a new component, `VisibilityRange`, which allows
developers to specify camera distances in which meshes are to be shown
and hidden. Hiding meshes happens early in the rendering pipeline, so
this feature can be used for level of detail optimization. Additionally,
this feature is properly evaluated per-view, so different views can show
different levels of detail.
This feature differs from proper mesh LODs, which can be implemented
later. Engines generally implement true mesh LODs later in the pipeline;
they're typically more efficient than HLODs with GPU-driven rendering.
However, mesh LODs are more limited than HLODs, because they require the
lower levels of detail to be meshes with the same vertex layout and
shader (and perhaps the same material) as the original mesh. Games often
want to use objects other than meshes to replace distant models, such as
*octahedral imposters* or *billboard imposters*.
The reason why the feature is called *hierarchical level of detail* is
that HLODs can replace multiple meshes with a single mesh when the
camera is far away. This can be useful for reducing drawcall count. Note
that `VisibilityRange` doesn't automatically propagate down to children;
it must be placed on every mesh.
Crossfading between different levels of detail is supported, using the
standard 4x4 ordered dithering pattern from [1]. The shader code to
compute the dithering patterns should be well-optimized. The dithering
code is only active when visibility ranges are in use for the mesh in
question, so that we don't lose early Z.
Cascaded shadow maps show the HLOD level of the view they're associated
with. Point light and spot light shadow maps, which have no CSMs,
display all HLOD levels that are visible in any view. To support this
efficiently and avoid doing visibility checks multiple times, we
precalculate all visible HLOD levels for each entity with a
`VisibilityRange` during the `check_visibility_range` system.
A new example, `visibility_range`, has been added to the tree, as well
as a new low-poly version of the flight helmet model to go with it. It
demonstrates use of the visibility range feature to provide levels of
detail.
[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_dithering#Threshold_map
[^1]: Unreal doesn't have a feature that exactly corresponds to
visibility ranges, but Unreal's HLOD system serves roughly the same
purpose.
## Changelog
### Added
* A new `VisibilityRange` component is available to conditionally enable
entity visibility at camera distances, with optional crossfade support.
This can be used to implement different levels of detail (LODs).

# Objective
- I've been using the `texture_binding_array` example as a base to use
multiple textures in meshes in my program
- I only realised once I was deep in render code that these helpers
existed to create layouts
- I wish I knew the existed earlier because the alternative (filling in
every struct field) is so much more verbose
## Solution
- Use `BindGroupLayoutEntries::with_indices` to teach users that the
helper exists
- Also fix typo which should be `texture_2d`.
## Alternatives considered
- Just leave it as is to teach users about every single struct field
- However, leaving as is leaves users writing roughly 29 lines versus
roughly 2 lines for 2 entries and I'd prefer the 2 line approach
## Testing
Ran the example locally and compared before and after.

# Objective
- #12755 introduced the need to download a file to run an example
- This means the example fails to run in CI without downloading that
file
## Solution
- Add a new metadata to examples "setup" that provides setup
instructions
- Replace the URL in the meshlet example to one that can actually be
downloaded
- example-showcase execute the setup before running an example
# Objective
- Simplifies/clarifies the winit loop.
- Fixes#12612.
## Solution
The Winit loop runs following this flow:
* NewEvents
* Any number of other events, that can be 0, including RequestRedraw
* AboutToWait
Bevy also uses the UpdateMode, to define how the next loop has to run.
It can be essentially:
* Continuous, using ControlFlow::Wait for windowed apps, and
ControlFlow::Poll for windowless apps
* Reactive/ReactiveLowPower, using ControlFlow::WaitUntil with a
specific wait delay
The changes are made to follow this pattern, so that
* NewEvents define if the WaitUntil has been canceled because we
received a Winit event.
* AboutToWait:
* checks if the window has to be redrawn
* otherwise calls app.update() if the WaitUntil timeout has elapsed
* updates the ControlFlow accordingly
To make the code more logical:
* AboutToWait checks if any Bevy's RequestRedraw event has been emitted
* create_windows is run every cycle, at the beginning of the loop
* the ActiveState (that could be renamed ActivityState) is updated in
AboutToWait, symmetrically for WillSuspend/WillResume
* the AppExit events are checked every loop cycle, to exit the app early

## Summary/Description
This PR extends states to allow support for a wider variety of state
types and patterns, by providing 3 distinct types of state:
- Standard [`States`] can only be changed by manually setting the
[`NextState<S>`] resource. These states are the baseline on which the
other state types are built, and can be used on their own for many
simple patterns. See the [state
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/latest/examples/ecs/state.rs)
for a simple use case - these are the states that existed so far in
Bevy.
- [`SubStates`] are children of other states - they can be changed
manually using [`NextState<S>`], but are removed from the [`World`] if
the source states aren't in the right state. See the [sub_states
example](https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/blob/derived_state/examples/ecs/sub_states.rs)
for a simple use case based on the derive macro, or read the trait docs
for more complex scenarios.
- [`ComputedStates`] are fully derived from other states - they provide
a [`compute`](ComputedStates::compute) method that takes in the source
states and returns their derived value. They are particularly useful for
situations where a simplified view of the source states is necessary -
such as having an `InAMenu` computed state derived from a source state
that defines multiple distinct menus. See the [computed state
example](https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/blob/derived_state/examples/ecs/computed_states.rscomputed_states.rs)
to see a sampling of uses for these states.
# Objective
This PR is another attempt at allowing Bevy to better handle complex
state objects in a manner that doesn't rely on strict equality. While my
previous attempts (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10088 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9957) relied on complex matching
capacities at the point of adding a system to application, this one
instead relies on deterministically deriving simple states from more
complex ones.
As a result, it does not require any special macros, nor does it change
any other interactions with the state system once you define and add
your derived state. It also maintains a degree of distinction between
`State` and just normal application state - your derivations have to end
up being discreet pre-determined values, meaning there is less of a
risk/temptation to place a significant amount of logic and data within a
given state.
### Addition - Sub States
closes#9942
After some conversation with Maintainers & SMEs, a significant concern
was that people might attempt to use this feature as if it were
sub-states, and find themselves unable to use it appropriately. Since
`ComputedState` is mainly a state matching feature, while `SubStates`
are more of a state mutation related feature - but one that is easy to
add with the help of the machinery introduced by `ComputedState`, it was
added here as well. The relevant discussion is here:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1200556329803186316
## Solution
closes#11358
The solution is to create a new type of state - one implementing
`ComputedStates` - which is deterministically tied to one or more other
states. Implementors write a function to transform the source states
into the computed state, and it gets triggered whenever one of the
source states changes.
In addition, we added the `FreelyMutableState` trait , which is
implemented as part of the derive macro for `States`. This allows us to
limit use of `NextState<S>` to states that are actually mutable,
preventing mis-use of `ComputedStates`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `ComputedStates` trait
- Added `FreelyMutableState` trait
- Converted `NextState` resource to an Enum, with `Unchanged` and
`Pending`
- Added `App::add_computed_state::<S: ComputedStates>()`, to allow for
easily adding derived states to an App.
- Moved the `StateTransition` schedule label from `bevy_app` to
`bevy_ecs` - but maintained the export in `bevy_app` for continuity.
- Modified the process for updating states. Instead of just having an
`apply_state_transition` system that can be added anywhere, we now have
a multi-stage process that has to run within the `StateTransition`
label. First, all the state changes are calculated - manual transitions
rely on `apply_state_transition`, while computed transitions run their
computation process before both call `internal_apply_state_transition`
to apply the transition, send out the transition event, trigger
dependent states, and record which exit/transition/enter schedules need
to occur. Once all the states have been updated, the transition
schedules are called - first the exit schedules, then transition
schedules and finally enter schedules.
- Added `SubStates` trait
- Adjusted `apply_state_transition` to be a no-op if the `State<S>`
resource doesn't exist
## Migration Guide
If the user accessed the NextState resource's value directly or created
them from scratch they will need to adjust to use the new enum variants:
- if they created a `NextState(Some(S))` - they should now use
`NextState::Pending(S)`
- if they created a `NextState(None)` -they should now use
`NextState::Unchanged`
- if they matched on the `NextState` value, they would need to make the
adjustments above
If the user manually utilized `apply_state_transition`, they should
instead use systems that trigger the `StateTransition` schedule.
---
## Future Work
There is still some future potential work in the area, but I wanted to
keep these potential features and changes separate to keep the scope
here contained, and keep the core of it easy to understand and use.
However, I do want to note some of these things, both as inspiration to
others and an illustration of what this PR could unlock.
- `NextState::Remove` - Now that the `State` related mechanisms all
utilize options (#11417), it's fairly easy to add support for explicit
state removal. And while `ComputedStates` can add and remove themselves,
right now `FreelyMutableState`s can't be removed from within the state
system. While it existed originally in this PR, it is a different
question with a separate scope and usability concerns - so having it as
it's own future PR seems like the best approach. This feature currently
lives in a separate branch in my fork, and the differences between it
and this PR can be seen here: https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/pull/5
- `NextState::ReEnter` - this would allow you to trigger exit & entry
systems for the current state type. We can potentially also add a
`NextState::ReEnterRecirsive` to also re-trigger any states that depend
on the current one.
- More mechanisms for `State` updates - This PR would finally make
states that aren't a set of exclusive Enums useful, and with that comes
the question of setting state more effectively. Right now, to update a
state you either need to fully create the new state, or include the
`Res<Option<State<S>>>` resource in your system, clone the state, mutate
it, and then use `NextState.set(my_mutated_state)` to make it the
pending next state. There are a few other potential methods that could
be implemented in future PRs:
- Inverse Compute States - these would essentially be compute states
that have an additional (manually defined) function that can be used to
nudge the source states so that they result in the computed states
having a given value. For example, you could use set the `IsPaused`
state, and it would attempt to pause or unpause the game by modifying
the `AppState` as needed.
- Closure-based state modification - this would involve adding a
`NextState.modify(f: impl Fn(Option<S> -> Option<S>)` method, and then
you can pass in closures or function pointers to adjust the state as
needed.
- Message-based state modification - this would involve either creating
states that can respond to specific messages, similar to Elm or Redux.
These could either use the `NextState` mechanism or the Event mechanism.
- ~`SubStates` - which are essentially a hybrid of computed and manual
states. In the simplest (and most likely) version, they would work by
having a computed element that determines whether the state should
exist, and if it should has the capacity to add a new version in, but
then any changes to it's content would be freely mutated.~ this feature
is now part of this PR. See above.
- Lastly, since states are getting more complex there might be value in
moving them out of `bevy_ecs` and into their own crate, or at least out
of the `schedule` module into a `states` module. #11087
As mentioned, all these future work elements are TBD and are explicitly
not part of this PR - I just wanted to provide them as potential
explorations for the future.

This commit expands Bevy's existing tonemapping feature to a complete
set of filmic color grading tools, matching those of engines like Unity,
Unreal, and Godot. The following features are supported:
* White point adjustment. This is inspired by Unity's implementation of
the feature, but simplified and optimized. *Temperature* and *tint*
control the adjustments to the *x* and *y* chromaticity values of [CIE
1931]. Following Unity, the adjustments are made relative to the [D65
standard illuminant] in the [LMS color space].
* Hue rotation. This simply converts the RGB value to [HSV], alters the
hue, and converts back.
* Color correction. This allows the *gamma*, *gain*, and *lift* values
to be adjusted according to the standard [ASC CDL combined function].
* Separate color correction for shadows, midtones, and highlights.
Blender's source code was used as a reference for the implementation of
this. The midtone ranges can be adjusted by the user. To avoid abrupt
color changes, a small crossfade is used between the different sections
of the image, again following Blender's formulas.
A new example, `color_grading`, has been added, offering a GUI to change
all the color grading settings. It uses the same test scene as the
existing `tonemapping` example, which has been factored out into a
shared glTF scene.

## Changelog
### Added
* Many new filmic color grading options have been added to the
`ColorGrading` component.
## Migration Guide
* `ColorGrading::gamma` and `ColorGrading::pre_saturation` are now set
separately for the `shadows`, `midtones`, and `highlights` sections. You
can migrate code with the `ColorGrading::all_sections` and
`ColorGrading::all_sections_mut` functions, which access and/or update
all sections at once.
* `ColorGrading::post_saturation` and `ColorGrading::exposure` are now
fields of `ColorGrading::global`.
## Screenshots
# Objective
- Enables support for `Display::Block`
- Enables support for `Overflow::Hidden`
- Allows for cleaner integration with text, image and other content
layout.
- Unblocks https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8104
- Unlocks the possibility of Bevy creating a custom layout tree over
which Taffy operates.
- Enables #8808 / #10193 to remove a Mutex around the font system.
## Todo
- [x] ~Fix rendering of text/images to account for padding/border on
nodes (should size/position to content box rather than border box)~ In
order get this into a mergeable state this PR instead zeroes out
padding/border when syncing leaf node styles into Taffy to preserve the
existing behaviour. https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6879 can
be fixed in a followup PR.
## Solution
- Update the version of Taffy
- Update code to work with the new version
Note: Taffy 0.4 has not yet been released. This PR is being created in
advance of the release to ensure that there are no blockers to upgrading
once the release occurs.
---
## Changelog
- Bevy now supports the `Display::Block` and `Overflow::Hidden` styles.
# Objective
- Partially resolves#12639.
## Solution
- Deprecate `ReceivedCharacter`.
- Replace `ReceivedCharacter` with `KeyboardInput` in the relevant
examples.
## Migration Guide
- `ReceivedCharacter` is now deprecated, use `KeyboardInput` instead.
- Before:
```rust
fn listen_characters(events: EventReader<ReceivedCharacter>) {
for event in events.read() {
info!("{}", event.char);
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn listen_characters(events: EventReader<KeyboardInput>) {
for event in events.read() {
// Only check for characters when the key is pressed.
if event.state == ButtonState::Released {
continue;
}
// Note that some keys such as `Space` and `Tab` won't be detected as
before.
// Instead, check for them with `Key::Space` and `Key::Tab`.
if let Key::Character(character) = &event.logical_key {
info!("{}", character);
}
}
}

This commit implements opt-in GPU frustum culling, built on top of the
infrastructure in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12773. To
enable it on a camera, add the `GpuCulling` component to it. To
additionally disable CPU frustum culling, add the `NoCpuCulling`
component. Note that adding `GpuCulling` without `NoCpuCulling`
*currently* does nothing useful. The reason why `GpuCulling` doesn't
automatically imply `NoCpuCulling` is that I intend to follow this patch
up with GPU two-phase occlusion culling, and CPU frustum culling plus
GPU occlusion culling seems like a very commonly-desired mode.
Adding the `GpuCulling` component to a view puts that view into
*indirect mode*. This mode makes all drawcalls indirect, relying on the
mesh preprocessing shader to allocate instances dynamically. In indirect
mode, the `PreprocessWorkItem` `output_index` points not to a
`MeshUniform` instance slot but instead to a set of `wgpu`
`IndirectParameters`, from which it allocates an instance slot
dynamically if frustum culling succeeds. Batch building has been updated
to allocate and track indirect parameter slots, and the AABBs are now
supplied to the GPU as `MeshCullingData`.
A small amount of code relating to the frustum culling has been borrowed
from meshlets and moved into `maths.wgsl`. Note that standard Bevy
frustum culling uses AABBs, while meshlets use bounding spheres; this
means that not as much code can be shared as one might think.
This patch doesn't provide any way to perform GPU culling on shadow
maps, to avoid making this patch bigger than it already is. That can be
a followup.
## Changelog
### Added
* Frustum culling can now optionally be done on the GPU. To enable it,
add the `GpuCulling` component to a camera.
* To disable CPU frustum culling, add `NoCpuCulling` to a camera. Note
that `GpuCulling` doesn't automatically imply `NoCpuCulling`.
Keeping track of explicit visibility per cluster between frames does not
work with LODs, and leads to worse culling (using the final depth buffer
from the previous frame is more accurate).
Instead, we need to generate a second depth pyramid after the second
raster pass, and then use that in the first culling pass in the next
frame to test if a cluster would have been visible last frame or not.
As part of these changes, the write_index_buffer pass has been folded
into the culling pass for a large performance gain, and to avoid
tracking a lot of extra state that would be needed between passes.
Prepass previous model/view stuff was adapted to work with meshlets as
well.
Also fixed a bug with materials, and other misc improvements.

# Objective
- The [`version`] field in `Cargo.toml` is optional for crates not
published on <https://crates.io>.
- We have several `publish = false` tools in this repository that still
have a version field, even when it's not useful.
[`version`]:

## Solution
- Remove the [`version`] field for all crates where `publish = false`.
- Update the description on a few crates and remove extra newlines as
well.
# Objective
Fixes#11476
## Solution
Give the pipeline its own "mesh2d instances hashmap."

# Objective
- Adds per-object motion blur to the core 3d pipeline. This is a common
effect used in games and other simulations.
- Partially resolves#4710
## Solution
- This is a post-process effect that uses the depth and motion vector
buffers to estimate per-object motion blur. The implementation is
combined from knowledge from multiple papers and articles. The approach
itself, and the shader are quite simple. Most of the effort was in
wiring up the bevy rendering plumbing, and properly specializing for HDR
and MSAA.
- To work with MSAA, the MULTISAMPLED_SHADING wgpu capability is
required. I've extracted this code from #9000. This is because the
prepass buffers are multisampled, and require accessing with
`textureLoad` as opposed to the widely compatible `textureSample`.
- Added an example to demonstrate the effect of motion blur parameters.
## Future Improvements
- While this approach does have limitations, it's one of the most
commonly used, and is much better than camera motion blur, which does
not consider object velocity. For example, this implementation allows a
dolly to track an object, and that object will remain unblurred while
the background is blurred. The biggest issue with this implementation is
that blur is constrained to the boundaries of objects which results in
hard edges. There are solutions to this by either dilating the object or
the motion vector buffer, or by taking a different approach such as
https://casual-effects.com/research/McGuire2012Blur/index.html
- I'm using a noise PRNG function to jitter samples. This could be
replaced with a blue noise texture lookup or similar, however after
playing with the parameters, it gives quite nice results with 4 samples,
and is significantly better than the artifacts generated when not
jittering.
---
## Changelog
- Added: per-object motion blur. This can be enabled and configured by
adding the `MotionBlurBundle` to a camera entity.

## Solution
- Make `AppExit` a enum with a `Success` and `Error` variant.
- Make `App::run()` return a `AppExit` if it ever returns.
- Make app runners return a `AppExit` to signal if they encountered a
error.

## Changelog
### Added
- [`App::should_exit`](https://example.org/)
- [`AppExit`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.AppExit.html)
to the `bevy` and `bevy_app` preludes,
### Changed
- [`AppExit`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.AppExit.html)
is now a enum with 2 variants (`Success` and `Error`).
- The app's [runner
function](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.App.html#method.set_runner)
now has to return a `AppExit`.
-
[`App::run()`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.App.html#method.run)
now also returns the `AppExit` produced by the runner function.
## Migration Guide
- Replace all usages of
[`AppExit`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/app/struct.AppExit.html)
with `AppExit::Success` or `AppExit::Failure`.
- Any custom app runners now need to return a `AppExit`. We suggest you
return a `AppExit::Error` if any `AppExit` raised was a Error. You can
use the new [`App::should_exit`](https://example.org/) method.
- If not exiting from `main` any other way. You should return the
`AppExit` from `App::run()` so the app correctly returns a error code if
anything fails e.g.
```rust
fn main() -> AppExit {
App::new()
//Your setup here...
.run()
}
```

I chose to not mirror `EventIteratorWithId` and instead implement both
operations on a single struct.
- Reuse `BatchingStrategy` from `QueryParIter`
