# Objective
I am emboldened by my last small PR and am here with another.
- **Describe the objective or issue this PR addresses.**
It would be nice if `FrameCount` could be used by downstream plugins
that want to use frame data. The example that I have in mind is
[`leafwing_input_playback`](https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing_input_playback/issues/29)
which has a [duplicate implementation of
`FrameCount`](https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing_input_playback/blob/main/src/frame_counting.rs#L9-L37)
used in several structs which rely on those derives (or otherwise the
higher-level structs would have to implement these traits manually).
That crate, using `FrameCount`, tracks input frames and timestamps and
enables various playback modes.
I am aware that bevy org refrains from deriving lots of unnecessary
stuff on bevy types to avoid compile time creep. It is worth mentioning
the (equally reasonable) alternative that downstream crates _should_
implement some `FrameCount` themselves if they want special behavior
from it.
## Solution
- **Describe the solution used to achieve the objective above.**
I added derives for `PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord` and implementations
for `serde::{Deserialize, Serialize}` to `FrameCount`.
## Testing
Manually confirmed that the serde implementation works, but that's all.
Let me know if I should do more here.

# Objective
Sometimes it's nice to iterate over all the coordinate axes using
something like `Vec3::AXES`. This was not available for the
corresponding `Dir` types and now it is.
## Solution
We already have things like `Dir2::X`, `Dir3::Z` and so on, so I just
threw them in an array like the vector types do it. I also slightly
refactored the sphere gizmo code to use `Dir3::AXES` and operate on
directions instead of using `Dir3::new_unchecked`.
## Testing
I looked at the sphere in the `3d_gizmos` example and it seems to work,
so I assume I didn't break anything.
# Objective
Unblocks #11659.
Currently the `Reflect` derive macro has to go through a merge process
for each `#[reflect]`/`#[reflet_value]` attribute encountered on a
container type.
Not only is this a bit inefficient, but it also has a soft requirement
that we can compare attributes such that an error can be thrown on
duplicates, invalid states, etc.
While working on #11659 this proved to be challenging due to the fact
that `syn` types don't implement `PartialEq` or `Hash` without enabling
the `extra-traits` feature.
Ideally, we wouldn't have to enable another feature just to accommodate
this one use case.
## Solution
Removed `ContainerAttributes::merge`.
This was a fairly simple change as we could just have the parsing
functions take `&mut self` instead of returning `Self`.
## Testing
CI should build as there should be no user-facing change.
# 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
fixes#13224
adds conversions for Vec3 and Vec4 since these appear so often
## Solution
added Covert trait (couldn't think of good name) for [f32; 4], [f32, 3],
Vec4, and Vec3 along with the symmetric implementation
## Changelog
added conversions between arrays and vector to colors and vice versa
#migration
LinearRgba appears to have already had implicit conversions for [f32;4]
and Vec4
# Objective
Finish the `try_apply` implementation started in #6770 by @feyokorenhof.
Supersedes and closes#6770. Closes#6182
## Solution
Add `try_apply` to `Reflect` and implement it in all the places that
implement `Reflect`.
---
## Changelog
Added `try_apply` to `Reflect`.

# Objective
- Some developers enable Github Actions for their fork and commit
directly to main. This triggers the `docs.yml` action, which attempts to
deploy the documentation even if Github Pages is not enabled. (It also
creates a `CNAME` file specific to Bevy and should not be used in forks,
even for testing.)
- For an example, see [this
run](https://github.com/tychedelia/bevy/actions/runs/8978912060/job/24660082729).
## Solution
- Only attempt to deploy docs when running from the main Bevy
repository.
- This does not affect us checking `cargo doc` on pull requests, since
that it done in `ci.yml`.
## Testing
It's difficult to test this, but you'd probably:
1. Fork Bevy
2. Cherry pick this PR's commits onto the main branch of your fork.
3. Push another commit to the main branch, triggering Github Actions.
4. Check the Github Actions job summary to ensure that the
`build-and-deploy` job is skipped.
# Objective
Currently, the 2d pipeline only has a transparent pass that is used for
everything. I want to have separate passes for opaque/alpha
mask/transparent meshes just like in 3d.
This PR does the basic work to start adding new phases to the 2d
pipeline and get the current setup a bit closer to 3d.
## Solution
- Use `ViewNode` for `MainTransparentPass2dNode`
- Added `Node2d::StartMainPass`, `Node2d::EndMainPass`
- Rename everything to clarify that the main pass is currently the
transparent pass
---
## Changelog
- Added `Node2d::StartMainPass`, `Node2d::EndMainPass`
## Migration Guide
If you were using `Node2d::MainPass` to order your own custom render
node. You now need to order it relative to `Node2d::StartMainPass` or
`Node2d::EndMainPass`.
WebGL 2 doesn't support variable-length uniform buffer arrays. So we
arbitrarily set the length of the visibility ranges field to 64 on that
platform.

# Objective
There's a TODO comment above the `AssetMetaCheck` enum mentioning this
should have been done in 0.13
## Solution
Do it in 0.14
## Testing
I've checked that all the asset tests compile. I've also run the
asset_processing and asset_settings tests and they both work.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
-
[`AssetMetaCheck`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/asset/enum.AssetMetaCheck.html)
is no longer a resource and is now a field on the
[`AssetPlugin`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/asset/struct.AssetPlugin.html).
## Migration Guide
Changes to how bevy handles asset meta files now need to be specified
when inserting the `AssetPlugin`.
# Objective
- Adds a basic `Extrusion<T: Primitive2d>` shape, suggestion of #10572
## Solution
- Adds `Measured2d` and `Measured3d` traits for getting the
perimeter/area or area/volume of shapes. This allows implementing
`.volume()` and `.area()` for all extrusions `Extrusion<T: Primitive2d +
Measured2d>` within `bevy_math`
- All existing perimeter, area and volume implementations for primitves
have been moved into implementations of `Measured2d` and `Measured3d`
- Shapes should be extruded along the Z-axis since an extrusion of depth
`0.` should be equivalent in everything but name to the base shape
## Caviats
- I am not sure about the naming. `Extrusion<T>` could also be
`Prism<T>` and the `MeasuredNd` could also be something like
`MeasuredPrimitiveNd`. If you have any other suggestions, please fell
free to share them :)
## Future work
This PR adds a basic `Extrusion` shape and does not implement a lot of
things you might want it to. Some of the future possibilities include:
- [ ] bounding for extrusions
- [ ] making extrusions work with gizmos
- [ ] meshing

# Objective
- Some of the "large" crates have sub-crates, usually for things such as
macros.
- For an example, see [`bevy_ecs_macros` at
`bevy_ecs/macros`](4f9f987099/crates/bevy_ecs/macros).
- The one crate that does not follow this convention is
[`bevy_reflect_derive`](4f9f987099/crates/bevy_reflect/bevy_reflect_derive),
which is in the `bevy_reflect/bevy_reflect_derive` folder and not
`bevy_reflect/derive` or `bevy_reflect/macros`.
## Solution
- Rename folder `bevy_reflect_derive` to `derive`.
- I chose to use `derive` instead of `macros` because the crate name
itself ends in `_derive`. (One of only two crates to actually use this
convention, funnily enough.)
## Testing
- Build and test `bevy_reflect` and `bevy_reflect_derive`.
- Apply the following patch to `publish.sh` to run it in `--dry-run`
mode, to test that the path has been successfully updated:
- If you have any security concerns about applying random diffs, feel
free to skip this step. Worst case scenario it fails and Cart has to
manually publish a few crates.
```bash
# Apply patch to make `publish.sh` *not* actually publish anything.
git apply path/to/foo.patch
# Make `publish.sh` executable.
chmod +x tools/publish.sh
# Execute `publish.sh`.
./tools/publish.sh
```

## Changelog
- Moved `bevy_reflect_derive` from
`crates/bevy_reflect/bevy_reflect_derive` to
`crates/bevy_reflect/derive`.
Copied almost verbatim from the volumetric fog PR
# Objective
- Managing mesh view layouts is complicated
## Solution
- Extract it to it's own struct
- This was done as part of #13057 and is copied almost verbatim. I
wanted to keep this part of the PR it's own atomic commit in case we
ever have to revert fog or run a bisect. This change is good whether or
not we have volumetric fog.

# Objective
I'm adopting #9122 and pulling some of the non controversial changes out
to make the final pr easier to review.
This pr removes the NonSend resource usage from `bevy_log`.
## Solution
`tracing-chrome` uses a guard that is stored in the world, so that when
it is dropped the json log file is written out. The guard is Send +
!Sync, so we can store it in a SyncCell to hold it in a regular resource
instead of using a non send resource.
## Testing
Tested by running an example with `-F tracing chrome` and making sure
there weren't any errors and the json file was created.
---
## Changelog
- replaced `bevy_log`'s usage of a non send resource.
# 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`.
# Objective
Fixes#12966
## Solution
Renaming multi_threaded feature to match snake case
## Migration Guide
Bevy feature multi-threaded should be refered to multi_threaded from now
on.

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.
[Filament spec]:
https://google.github.io/filament/Filament.html#materialsystem/clearcoatmodel
[`KHR_materials_clearcoat`]:
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/blob/main/extensions/2.0/Khronos/KHR_materials_clearcoat/README.md
[the corresponding three.js demo]:
https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_materials_physical_clearcoat.html
## 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
- `DynamicUniformBuffer` tries to create a buffer as soon as the changed
flag is set to true. This doesn't work correctly when the buffer wasn't
already created. This currently creates a crash because it's trying to
create a buffer of size 0 if the flag is set but there's no buffer yet.
## Solution
- Don't create a changed buffer until there's data that needs to be
written to a buffer.
## Testing
- run `cargo run --example scene_viewer` and see that it doesn't crash
anymore
Fixes#13235
# Objective
Documentation should mention the two plugins required for your custom
`CameraProjection` to work.
## Solution
Documented!
---
I tried linking to `bevy_pbr::PbrProjectionPlugin` from
`bevy_render:📷:CameraProjection` but it wasn't in scope. Is there
a trick to it?
# 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
- Per-cluster (instance of a meshlet) data upload is ridiculously
expensive in both CPU and GPU time (8 bytes per cluster, millions of
clusters, you very quickly run into PCIE bandwidth maximums, and lots of
CPU-side copies and malloc).
- We need to be uploading only per-instance/entity data. Anything else
needs to be done on the GPU.
## Solution
- Per instance, upload:
- `meshlet_instance_meshlet_counts_prefix_sum` - An exclusive prefix sum
over the count of how many clusters each instance has.
- `meshlet_instance_meshlet_slice_starts` - The starting index of the
meshlets for each instance within the `meshlets` buffer.
- A new `fill_cluster_buffers` pass once at the start of the frame has a
thread per cluster, and finds its instance ID and meshlet ID via a
binary search of `meshlet_instance_meshlet_counts_prefix_sum` to find
what instance it belongs to, and then uses that plus
`meshlet_instance_meshlet_slice_starts` to find what number meshlet
within the instance it is. The shader then writes out the per-cluster
instance/meshlet ID buffers for later passes to quickly read from.
- I've gone from 45 -> 180 FPS in my stress test scene, and saved
~30ms/frame of overall CPU/GPU time.
# Objective
in response to [13222](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/13222)
## Solution
The Image trait was already re-exported in bevy_render/src/lib.rs, So I
added it inline there.
## Testing
Confirmed that it does compile. Simple change, shouldn't cause any
bugs/regressions.
# Objective
`bevy_pbr/utils.wgsl` shader file contains mathematical constants and
color conversion functions. Both of those should be accessible without
enabling `bevy_pbr` feature. For example, tonemapping can be done in non
pbr scenario, and it uses color conversion functions.
Fixes#13207
## Solution
* Move mathematical constants (such as PI, E) from
`bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl` into `bevy_render/src/maths.wgsl`
* Move color conversion functions from `bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl`
into new file `bevy_render/src/color_operations.wgsl`
## Testing
Ran multiple examples, checked they are working:
* tonemapping
* color_grading
* 3d_scene
* animated_material
* deferred_rendering
* 3d_shapes
* fog
* irradiance_volumes
* meshlet
* parallax_mapping
* pbr
* reflection_probes
* shadow_biases
* 2d_gizmos
* light_gizmos
---
## Changelog
* Moved mathematical constants (such as PI, E) from
`bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl` into `bevy_render/src/maths.wgsl`
* Moved color conversion functions from `bevy_pbr/src/render/utils.wgsl`
into new file `bevy_render/src/color_operations.wgsl`
## Migration Guide
In user's shader code replace usage of mathematical constants from
`bevy_pbr::utils` to the usage of the same constants from
`bevy_render::maths`.
# 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
- In the documentation of the `bevy` crate, we embed the Bevy logo.
([docs.rs](https://docs.rs/bevy/0.13.2/bevy/index.html),
[logo](https://bevyengine.org/assets/bevy_logo_docs.svg))
- It was first added in 9aae341.
- Markdown supports adding alternate descriptions for images that either
cannot be loaded or for screen readers.
## Solution
- Add alt text for the Bevy logo.
---
## Changelog
- Added alt text to Bevy logo.
# 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.
---
## Changelog
- Added: AutoExposure plugin that allows to adjust a camera's exposure
based on it's scene's luminance.

# Objective
- Follow-up of #13184 :)
- We use `ui_test` to test compiler errors for our custom macros.
- There are four crates related to compile fail tests
- `bevy_ecs_compile_fail_tests`, `bevy_macros_compile_fail_tests`, and
`bevy_reflect_compile_fail_tests`, which actually test the macros.
-
[`bevy_compile_test_utils`](64c1c65783/crates/bevy_compile_test_utils),
which provides helpers and common patterns for these tests.
- All of these crates reside within the `crates` directory.
- This can be confusing, especially for newcomers. All of the other
folders in `crates` are actual published libraries, except for these 4.
## Solution
- Move all compile fail tests to a `compile_fail` folder under their
corresponding crate.
- E.g. `crates/bevy_ecs_compile_fail_tests` would be moved to
`crates/bevy_ecs/compile_fail`.
- Move `bevy_compile_test_utils` to `tools/compile_fail_utils`.
There are a few benefits to this approach:
1. An internal testing detail is less intrusive (and confusing) for
those who just want to browse the public Bevy interface.
2. Follows a pre-existing approach of organizing related crates inside a
larger crate's folder.
- See `bevy_gizmos/macros` for an example.
4. Makes consistent the terms `compile_test`, `compile_fail`, and
`compile_fail_test` in code. It's all just `compile_fail` now, because
we are specifically testing the error messages on compiler failures.
- To be clear it can still be referred to by these terms in comments and
speech, just the names of the crates and the CI command are now
consistent.
## Testing
Run the compile fail CI command:
```shell
cargo run -p ci -- compile-fail
```
If it still passes, then my refactor was successful.
# Objective
- The report_details flag currently dumps everything at the root of the
repo which isn't ideal
- When running the tool locally it's useful to see the logs as they
appear
## Solution
- Add a flag to show the logs
- Write all the report files to a folder
# Objective
If the current example is used as is, the `button_pressed` system will
run every update.
Update the example so that it is a more ready to use for people
## Solution
Rewrote most of it.
Another solution would be to just minimally fix the problems
```Rust
.add_systems(Startup, (count_entities, setup).chain())
```
and
```Rust
fn evaluate_callbacks(query: Query<(Entity, &Callback), With<Triggered>>, mut commands: Commands) {
for (entity, callback) in query.iter() {
commands.run_system(callback.0);
commands.entity(entity).remove::<Triggered>();
}
}
```
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
Ran the example and pressed A / B on the keyboard
---
# Objective
Resolves#13185
## Solution
Move the following methods from `sub_app` to the `Schedules` resource,
and use them in the sub app:
- `add_systems`
- `configure_sets`
- `ignore_ambiguity`
Add an `entry(&mut self, label: impl ScheduleLabel) -> &mut Schedule`
method to the `Schedules` resource, which returns a mutable reference to
the schedule associated with the label, and creates one if it doesn't
already exist. (build on top of the `entry(..).or_insert_with(...)`
pattern in `HashMap`.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? Added 4 unit tests to the
`schedule.rs` - one that validates adding a system to an existing
schedule, one that validates adding a system to a new one, one that
validates configuring sets on an existing schedule, and one that
validates configuring sets on a new schedule.
- I didn't add tests for `entry` since the previous 4 tests use
functions that rely on it.
- I didn't test `ignore_ambiguity` since I didn't see examples of it's
use, and am not familiar enough with it to know how to set up a good
test for it. However, it relies on the `entry` method as well, so it
should work just like the other 2 methods.
This is an adoption of #12670 plus some documentation fixes. See that PR
for more details.

# Objective
Coordinating work can be hard, and figuring out how to get started with
contributions is always a challenge.
We've had great success with informal working groups in the past
(primitives, bevy_color, stageless). However, they're not at all
discoverable, are hard to keep track of and tend to flood the dev
channels that they're in.
When their messages are moved to Discord threads, they then get
completely scattered and buried.
## Solution
We can formalize the working groups in a very process-light way, and
give them a discoverable home by using a curated forum channel on
Discord.
While we'll still need more stringent PR reviews for particularly
complex or architectural changes made as part of these initiatives, a
broad sign off on the course of action goes a long way to building
consensus. By baking that into the process, I think we can avoid a lot
of wasted work and relitigation without encouraging mega-PRs or RFCs.

# Objective
~Returning a app exit code from the winit runner is complicated and
deadlock prone.~
The code to return a app exit code is rather shoddy. It's use of mutex
is redundant, It uses unwrap when not required and can be broken by a
maintainer simply forgetting to set a value.
## Solution
Switch to using a channel.
- Deals with situations in which a event loop exits unexpectedly.
- Never panics. Even in extreme cases.
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
- Current config file is hard to extend
## Solution
- Instead of an hard coded list of field, the file now has a list of
`(frame, event)`, and will deal with know events (exiting or taking a
screenshot), or send an event for others that can be dealt by third
party plugins
# 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
