# Objective
- Creating and executing render passes has GPU overhead. If there are no phase items in the render phase to draw, then this overhead should not be incurred as it has no benefit.
## Solution
- Check if there are no phase items to draw, and if not, do not construct not execute the render pass
---
## Changelog
- Changed: Do not create nor execute empty render passes
# Objective
Reduce the catch-all grab-bag of functionality in bevy_core by moving FloatOrd to bevy_utils.
A step in addressing #2931 and splitting bevy_core into more specific locations.
## Solution
Move FloatOrd into bevy_utils. Fix the compile errors.
As a result, bevy_core_pipeline, bevy_pbr, bevy_sprite, bevy_text, and bevy_ui no longer depend on bevy_core (they were only using it for `FloatOrd` previously).
# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3499
## Solution
Uses a `HashMap` from `RenderTarget` to sampled textures when preparing `ViewTarget`s to ensure that two passes with the same render target get sampled to the same texture.
This builds on and depends on https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3412, so this will be a draft PR until #3412 is merged. All changes for this PR are in the last commit.
# Objective
- Fixes#3970
- To support Bevy's shader abstraction(shader defs, shader imports and hot shader reloading) for compute shaders, I have followed carts advice and change the `PipelinenCache` to accommodate both compute and render pipelines.
## Solution
- renamed `RenderPipelineCache` to `PipelineCache`
- Cached Pipelines are now represented by an enum (render, compute)
- split the `SpecializedPipelines` into `SpecializedRenderPipelines` and `SpecializedComputePipelines`
- updated the game of life example
## Open Questions
- should `SpecializedRenderPipelines` and `SpecializedComputePipelines` be merged and how would we do that?
- should the `get_render_pipeline` and `get_compute_pipeline` methods be merged?
- is pipeline specialization for different entry points a good pattern

# Objective
- Make visible how much time is spent building the Opaque3d, AlphaMask3d, and Transparent3d passes
## Solution
- Add a `trace` feature to `bevy_core_pipeline`
- Add tracy spans around the three passes
- I didn't do this for shadows, sprites, etc as they are only one pass in the node. Perhaps it should be split into 3 nodes to allow insertion of other nodes between...?
**Problem**
- whenever you want more than one of the builtin cameras (for example multiple windows, split screen, portals), you need to add a render graph node that executes the correct sub graph, extract the camera into the render world and add the correct `RenderPhase<T>` components
- querying for the 3d camera is annoying because you need to compare the camera's name to e.g. `CameraPlugin::CAMERA_3d`
**Solution**
- Introduce the marker types `Camera3d`, `Camera2d` and `CameraUi`
-> `Query<&mut Transform, With<Camera3d>>` works
- `PerspectiveCameraBundle::new_3d()` and `PerspectiveCameraBundle::<Camera3d>::default()` contain the `Camera3d` marker
- `OrthographicCameraBundle::new_3d()` has `Camera3d`, `OrthographicCameraBundle::new_2d()` has `Camera2d`
- remove `ActiveCameras`, `ExtractedCameraNames`
- run 2d, 3d and ui passes for every camera of their respective marker
-> no custom setup for multiple windows example needed
**Open questions**
- do we need a replacement for `ActiveCameras`? What about a component `ActiveCamera { is_active: bool }` similar to `Visibility`?

# Objective
- In the large majority of cases, users were calling `.unwrap()` immediately after `.get_resource`.
- Attempting to add more helpful error messages here resulted in endless manual boilerplate (see #3899 and the linked PRs).
## Solution
- Add an infallible variant named `.resource` and so on.
- Use these infallible variants over `.get_resource().unwrap()` across the code base.
## Notes
I did not provide equivalent methods on `WorldCell`, in favor of removing it entirely in #3939.
## Migration Guide
Infallible variants of `.get_resource` have been added that implicitly panic, rather than needing to be unwrapped.
Replace `world.get_resource::<Foo>().unwrap()` with `world.resource::<Foo>()`.
## Impact
- `.unwrap` search results before: 1084
- `.unwrap` search results after: 942
- internal `unwrap_or_else` calls added: 4
- trivial unwrap calls removed from tests and code: 146
- uses of the new `try_get_resource` API: 11
- percentage of the time the unwrapping API was used internally: 93%
# Objective
Will fix#3377 and #3254
## Solution
Use an enum to represent either a `WindowId` or `Handle<Image>` in place of `Camera::window`.

What is says on the tin.
This has got more to do with making `clippy` slightly more *quiet* than it does with changing anything that might greatly impact readability or performance.
that said, deriving `Default` for a couple of structs is a nice easy win
# Objective
- Update the `ClearColor` resource docs as described in #3837 so new users (like me) understand it better
## Solution
- Update the docs to use what @alice-i-cecile described in #3837
I took this one up because I got confused by it this weekend. I didn't understand why the "background" was being set by a `ClearColor` resource.
# Objective
In this PR I added the ability to opt-out graphical backends. Closes#3155.
## Solution
I turned backends into `Option` ~~and removed panicking sub app API to force users handle the error (was suggested by `@cart`)~~.
# Objective
The current 2d rendering is specialized to render sprites, we need a generic way to render 2d items, using meshes and materials like we have for 3d.
## Solution
I cloned a good part of `bevy_pbr` into `bevy_sprite/src/mesh2d`, removed lighting and pbr itself, adapted it to 2d rendering, added a `ColorMaterial`, and modified the sprite rendering to break batches around 2d meshes.
~~The PR is a bit crude; I tried to change as little as I could in both the parts copied from 3d and the current sprite rendering to make reviewing easier. In the future, I expect we could make the sprite rendering a normal 2d material, cleanly integrated with the rest.~~ _edit: see <https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3460#issuecomment-1003605194>_
## Remaining work
- ~~don't require mesh normals~~ _out of scope_
- ~~add an example~~ _done_
- support 2d meshes & materials in the UI?
- bikeshed names (I didn't think hard about naming, please check if it's fine)
## Remaining questions
- ~~should we add a depth buffer to 2d now that there are 2d meshes?~~ _let's revisit that when we have an opaque render phase_
- ~~should we add MSAA support to the sprites, or remove it from the 2d meshes?~~ _I added MSAA to sprites since it's really needed for 2d meshes_
- ~~how to customize vertex attributes?~~ _#3120_

Currently the `ClearPassNode` is not exported, due to an additional `use ...;` in the core pipeline's `lib.rs`. This seems unintentional, as there already is a public glob import in the file.
This just removes the explicit use. If it actually was intentional to keep the node internal, let me know.
# Objective
This PR fixes a crash when winit is enabled when there is a camera in the world. Part of #3155
## Solution
In this PR, I removed two unwraps and added an example for regression testing.
This makes the [New Bevy Renderer](#2535) the default (and only) renderer. The new renderer isn't _quite_ ready for the final release yet, but I want as many people as possible to start testing it so we can identify bugs and address feedback prior to release.
The examples are all ported over and operational with a few exceptions:
* I removed a good portion of the examples in the `shader` folder. We still have some work to do in order to make these examples possible / ergonomic / worthwhile: #3120 and "high level shader material plugins" are the big ones. This is a temporary measure.
* Temporarily removed the multiple_windows example: doing this properly in the new renderer will require the upcoming "render targets" changes. Same goes for the render_to_texture example.
* Removed z_sort_debug: entity visibility sort info is no longer available in app logic. we could do this on the "render app" side, but i dont consider it a priority.
