Rearrange the impls in the `impls/std.rs` file.
The issue was that I had accidentally misplaced the impl for `Option<T>` and put it between the `Cow<'static, str>` impls. This is just a slight annoyance and readability issue.
## Solution
Move the `Option<T>` and `&'static Path` impls around to be more readable.
* Adding a new section concerning the maintainers of the repo

The global_vs_local_translation example tries to use transparency to identify static cubes, but the materials of those cubes aren't transparent.
## Solution
Change material alpha_mode to `AlphaMode::Blend` for those cubes.
# Objective
- run examples is failing with `xvfb-run: error: Xvfb failed to start`
## Solution
- rollback ubuntu version for run-examples to 20.04. latest is 22.04
## Notes
- this is just a quick fix and someone should probably get it working on 22.04. I'll make an issue for that if this gets merged.
# Objective
Finder in macOS creates hidden `.DS_Store` files containing metadata (for icon positioning, view mode, etc) whenever you browse a directory. There's no point in committing these to git, and they're a common git + macOS nuisance.
## Solution
- ~~This PR adds `.DS_Store` files to `.gitignore`, improving the developer experience on macOS.~~
- This PR adds a note to the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file teaching how to use global git ignore.
# Objective
The soundness of the ECS `World` partially relies on the correctness of the state of `Entities` stored within it. We're currently allowing users to (unsafely) mutate it, as well as readily construct it without using a `World`. While this is not strictly unsound so long as users (including `bevy_render`) safely use the APIs, it's a fairly easy path to unsoundness without much of a guard rail.
Addresses #3362 for `bevy_ecs::entity`. Incorporates the changes from #3985.
## Solution
Remove `Entities`'s `Default` implementation and force access to the type to only be through a properly constructed `World`.
Additional cleanup for other parts of `bevy_ecs::entity`:
- `Entity::index` and `Entity::generation` are no longer `pub(crate)`, opting to force the rest of bevy_ecs to use the public interface to access these values.
- `EntityMeta` is no longer `pub` and also not `pub(crate)` to attempt to cut down on updating `generation` without going through an `Entities` API. It's currently inaccessible except via the `pub(crate)` Vec on `Entities`, there was no way for an outside user to use it.
- Added `Entities::set`, an unsafe `pub(crate)` API for setting the location of an Entity (parallel to `Entities::get`) that replaces the internal case where we need to set the location of an entity when it's been spawned, moved, or despawned.
- `Entities::alloc_at_without_replacement` is only used in `World::get_or_spawn` within the first party crates, and I cannot find a public use of this API in any ecosystem crate that I've checked (via GitHub search).
- Attempted to document the few remaining undocumented public APIs in the module.
---
## Changelog
Removed: `Entities`'s `Default` implementation.
Removed: `EntityMeta`
Removed: `Entities::alloc_at_without_replacement` and `AllocAtWithoutReplacement`.

```
ERROR crates/bevy_render/src/render_resource/pipeline_cache.rs:660 failed to process shader: Unknown shader def: 'AVAILABLE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BINDINGS'
```
## Solution
- Fix it by always adding the shaderdef `AVAILABLE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BINDINGS` with the actual value, instead of 3 when 3 or more were available
# Objective
- Support textures in `Rgb9e5Ufloat` format.
## Solution
- Add `TextureFormatPixelInfo` for `Rgb9e5Ufloat`.
Tested this with a `Rgb9e5Ufloat` encoded KTX2 texture.
When running Bevy on Gentoo using an AMD Radeon GPU, it panics unless `amdgpu-pro-vulkan` has been installed (and it took quite a bit of experimentation to find this information). This PR adds a mention of this to the linux dependencies documentation.
# Objective
- Every usage of `DrawFunctionsInternals::get_id()` was followed by a `.unwrap()`. which just adds boilerplate.
## Solution
- Introduce a fallible version of `DrawFunctionsInternals::get_id()` and use it where possible.
- I also took the opportunity to improve the error message a little in the case where it fails.
---
## Changelog
- Added `DrawFunctionsInternals::id()`
# Objective
Document `bevy_ecs::archetype` and and declutter the public documentation for the module by making types non-`pub`.
Addresses #3362 for `bevy_ecs::archetype`.
## Solution
- Add module level documentation.
- Add type and API level documentation for all public facing types.
- Make `ArchetypeId`, `ArchetypeGeneration`, and `ArchetypeComponentId` truly opaque IDs that are not publicly constructable.
- Make `AddBundle` non-pub, make `Edges::get_add_bundle` return a `Option<ArchetypeId>` and fork the existing function into `Edges::get_add_bundle_internal`.
- Remove `pub(crate)` on fields that have a corresponding pub accessor function.
- Removed the `Archetypes: Default` impl, opting for a `pub(crate) fn new` alternative instead.
---
## Changelog
Added: `ArchetypeGeneration` now implements `Ord` and `PartialOrd`.
Removed: `Archetypes`'s `Default` implementation.
Removed: `Archetype::new` and `Archetype::is_empty`.
Removed: `ArchetypeId::new` and `ArchetypeId::value`.
Removed: `ArchetypeGeneration::value`
Removed: `ArchetypeIdentity`.
Removed: `ArchetypeComponentId::new` and `ArchetypeComponentId::value`.
Removed: `AddBundle`. `Edges::get_add_bundle` now returns `Option<ArchetypeId>`

* Fix#6668
* There is no need to panic when a parenting operation is redundant, as no invalid state is entered.
## Solution
Make `push_children` idempotent.
# Objective
One of the use-cases for the function `Entity::from_raw` is creating placeholder entity ids, which are meant to be overwritten later. If we use a constant for this instead of `from_raw`, it is more ergonomic and self-documenting.
## Solution
Add a constant that returns an entity ID with an index of `u32::MAX` and a generation of zero. Users are instructed to overwrite this value before using it.
# Objective
When a global tracing subscriber has already been set, `LogPlugin` panics with an error message explaining this. However, if a global logger has already been set, it simply panics on an unwrap.
#6426 mentiones the panic and has been fixed by unique plugins, but the panic can still occur if a logger has been set through different means or multiple apps are created, as in #4934. The solution to that specific case isn't clear; this PR only fixes the missing error message.
## Solution
- ~add error message to panic~
- turn into warning
# Objective
- Reduce confusion around uniform bindings in materials. I've seen multiple people on discord get confused by it because it uses a struct that is named the same in the rust code and the wgsl code, but doesn't contain the same data. Also, the only reason this works is mostly by chance because the memory happens to align correctly.
## Solution
- Remove the confusing parts of the doc
## Notes
It's not super clear in the diff why this causes confusion, but essentially, the rust code defines a `CustomMaterial` struct with a color and a texture, but in the wgsl code the struct with the same name only contains the color. People are confused by it because the struct in wgsl doesn't need to be there.
You _can_ have complex structs on each side and the macro will even combine it for you if you reuse a binding index, but as it is now, this example seems to confuse more than help people.
# Objective
Fixes#6739
## Solution
Implement the required traits. They cannot be implemented for `Path` directly, since it is a dynamically-sized type.
# Objective
Fixes#6642
In a way that doesn't create any breaking changes, as a possible way to fix the above in a patch release.
## Solution
Don't actually remove font atlases when `max_font_atlases` is exceeded. Add a warning instead.
Keep `TextError::ExceedMaxTextAtlases` and `TextSettings` as-is so we don't break anything.
This is a bit of a cop-out, but the problems revealed by #6642 seem very challenging to fix properly.
Maybe follow up later with something more like https://github.com/rparrett/bevy/commits/remove-max-font-atlases later, if this is the direction we want to go.
## Note
See previous attempt at a "simple fix" that only solved some of the issues: #6666
# Objective
> Part of #6573
When serializing a `DynamicScene` we end up treating almost all non-value types as though their type data doesn't exist. This is because when creating the `DynamicScene` we call `Reflect::clone_value` on the components, which generates a Dynamic type for all non-value types.
What this means is that the `glam` types are treated as though their `ReflectSerialize` registrations don't exist. However, the deserializer _does_ pick up the registration and attempts to use that instead. This results in the deserializer trying to operate on "malformed" data, causing this error:
```
WARN bevy_asset::asset_server: encountered an error while loading an asset: Expected float
```
## Solution
Ideally, we should better handle the serialization of possibly-Dynamic types. However, this runs into issues where the `ReflectSerialize` expects the concrete type and not a Dynamic representation, resulting in a panic:
0aa4147af6/crates/bevy_reflect/src/type_registry.rs (L402-L413)
Since glam types are so heavily used in Bevy (specifically in `Transform` and `GlobalTransform`), it makes sense to just a quick fix in that enables them to be used properly in scenes while a proper solution is found.
This PR simply removes all `ReflectSerialize` and `ReflectDeserialize` registrations from the glam types that are reflected as structs.
---
## Changelog
- Remove `ReflectSerialize` and `ReflectDeserialize` registrations from most glam types
## Migration Guide
This PR removes `ReflectSerialize` and `ReflectDeserialize` registrations from most glam types. This means any code relying on either of those type data existing for those glam types will need to not do that.
This also means that some serialized glam types will need to be updated. For example, here is `Affine3A`:
```rust
// BEFORE
(
"glam::f32::affine3a::Affine3A": (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
// AFTER
"glam::f32::affine3a::Affine3A": (
matrix3: (
x_axis: (
x: 1.0,
y: 0.0,
z: 0.0,
),
y_axis: (
x: 0.0,
y: 1.0,
z: 0.0,

z_axis: (
x: 0.0,
y: 0.0,

# Objective
- Fix CI issue with updated `cargo-app`
## Solution
- Move the Android example to its own package. It's not necessary for the CI fix, but it's cleaner, mimic the iOS example, and easier to reuse for someone wanting to setup android support in their project
- Build the package in CI instead of the example
The Android example is still working on my android device with this change 👍
# Objective
Many types in `bevy_render` implemented `Reflect` but were not registered.
## Solution
Register all types in `bevy_render` that impl `Reflect`.
This also registers additional dependent types (i.e. field types).
> Note: Adding these dependent types would not be needed using something like #5781😉
---
## Changelog
- Register missing `bevy_render` types in the `TypeRegistry`:
- `camera::RenderTarget`
- `globals::GlobalsUniform`
- `texture::Image`
- `view::ComputedVisibility`
- `view::Visibility`
- `view::VisibleEntities`
- Register additional dependent types:
- `view::ComputedVisibilityFlags`
- `Vec<Entity>`
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6603
## Solution
- `Task`s will cancel when dropped, but wait until they return Pending before they actually get canceled. That means that if a task panics, it's possible for that error to get propagated to the scope and the scope gets dropped, while scoped tasks in other threads are still running. This is a big problem since scoped task can hold life-timed values that are dropped as the scope is dropped leading to UB.
---
## Changelog
- changed `Scope` to use `FallibleTask` and await the cancellation of all remaining tasks when it's dropped.
# Objective
- Reverts #5730.
- Fixes#6173, fixes#6596.
## Solution
Remove the warning entirely.

reading from the `EventReader` more often (generally the best
solution) or calling Events::update() less frequently

more information.
when you miss events. These warnings were often (but not always) a false positive. You can still check this manually by using `ManualEventReader::missed_events`
# Objective
Remove an obscure and inconsistent bit of API.
Simplify the `WorldChildBuilder` code.
No idea why this even exists.
An example of the removed API:
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|parent| {
parent.spawn_empty();
parent.push_children(&[some_entity]); // Does *not* add children to the parent.
// It's actually identical to:
parent.spawn_empty().push_children(&[some_entity]);
});
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|parent| {
// This just panics.
parent.push_children(&[some_entity]);
});
```
This exists only on `WorldChildBuilder`; `ChildBuilder` does not have this API.
Yeet.
## Migration Guide
Hierarchy editing methods such as `with_children` and `push_children` have been removed from `WorldChildBuilder`.
You can edit the hierarchy via `EntityMut` instead.

# Objective
Fixes#6713
Binary deserialization is failing for unit structs as well as structs with all ignored/skipped fields.
## Solution
Add a check for the number of possible fields in a struct before deserializing. If empty, don't attempt to deserialize any fields (as there will be none).
Note: ~~This does not apply to enums as they do not properly handle skipped fields (see #6721).~~ Enums still do not properly handle skipped fields, but I decided to include the logic for it anyways to account for `#[reflect(ignore)]`'d fields in the meantime.
---
## Changelog
- Fix bug where deserializing unit structs would fail for non-self-describing formats
# Objective
Consider the test
```rust
let cell = world.cell();
let _value_a = cell.resource_mut::<A>();
let _value_b = cell.resource_mut::<A>();
```
Currently, this will roughly execute
```rust
// first call
let value = unsafe {
self.world
.get_non_send_unchecked_mut_with_id(component_id)?
};
return Some(WorldBorrowMut::new(value, archetype_component_id, self.access)))
// second call
let value = unsafe {
self.world
.get_non_send_unchecked_mut_with_id(component_id)?
};
return Some(WorldBorrowMut::new(value, archetype_component_id, self.access)))
```
where `WorldBorrowMut::new` will panic if the resource is already borrowed.
This means, that `_value_a` will be created, the access checked (OK), then `value_b` will be created, and the access checked (`panic`).
For a moment, both `_value_a` and `_value_b` existed as `&mut T` to the same location, which is insta-UB as far as I understand it.
## Solution
Flip the order so that `WorldBorrowMut::new` first checks the access, _then_ fetches creates the value. To do that, we pass a `impl FnOnce() -> Mut<T>` instead of the `Mut<T>` directly:
```rust
let get_value = || unsafe {
self.world
.get_non_send_unchecked_mut_with_id(component_id)?
};
return Some(WorldBorrowMut::new(get_value, archetype_component_id, self.access)))
```
# Objective
- shaders defs can now have a `bool` or `int` value
- `#if SHADER_DEF <operator> 3`
- ok if `SHADER_DEF` is defined, has the correct type and pass the comparison
- `==`, `!=`, `>=`, `>`, `<`, `<=` supported
- `#SHADER_DEF` or `#{SHADER_DEF}`
- will be replaced by the value in the shader code
---
## Migration Guide
- replace `shader_defs.push(String::from("NAME"));` by `shader_defs.push("NAME".into());`
- if you used shader def `NO_STORAGE_BUFFERS_SUPPORT`, check how `AVAILABLE_STORAGE_BUFFER_BINDINGS` is now used in Bevy default shaders
# Objective
`add_node_edge` and `add_slot_edge` are fallible methods, but are always used with `.unwrap()`.
`input_node` is often unwrapped as well.
This points to having an infallible behaviour as default, with an alternative fallible variant if needed.
Improves readability and ergonomics.
## Solution
- Change `add_node_edge` and `add_slot_edge` to panic on error.
- Change `input_node` to panic on `None`.
- Add `try_add_node_edge` and `try_add_slot_edge` in case fallible methods are needed.
- Add `get_input_node` to still be able to get an `Option`.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `try_add_node_edge`
- `try_add_slot_edge`
- `get_input_node`
### Changed
- `add_node_edge` is now infallible (panics on error)
- `add_slot_edge` is now infallible (panics on error)
- `input_node` now panics on `None`
## Migration Guide
Remove `.unwrap()` from `add_node_edge` and `add_slot_edge`.
For cases where the error was handled, use `try_add_node_edge` and `try_add_slot_edge` instead.
Remove `.unwrap()` from `input_node`.
For cases where the option was handled, use `get_input_node` instead.

# Objective
Fixes#4697. Hierarchical propagation of properties, currently only Transform -> GlobalTransform, can be a very expensive operation. Transform propagation is a strict dependency for anything positioned in world-space. In large worlds, this can take quite a bit of time, so limiting it to a single thread can result in poor CPU utilization as it bottlenecks the rest of the frame's systems.
## Solution
- Move transforms without a parent or a child (free-floating (Global)Transform) entities into a separate parallel system.
- Chunk the hierarchy based on the root entities and process it in parallel with `Query::par_for_each_mut`.
- Utilize the hierarchy's specific properties introduced in #4717 to allow for safe use of `Query::get_unchecked` on multiple threads. Assuming each child is unique in the hierarchy, it is impossible to have an aliased `&mut GlobalTransform` so long as we verify that the parent for a child is the same one propagated from.
---
## Changelog
Removed: `transform_propagate_system` is no longer `pub`.
# Objective
Fixes#6498.
## Solution
Adding a parent node with properties AlignItems::Center and JustifyContent::Center to centered child nodes and removing their auto-margin properties.
Without this fix, piped systems containing exclusive systems fail to run, giving a runtime panic.
With this PR, running piped systems that contain exclusive systems now works.
## Explanation of the bug
This is because, unless overridden, the default implementation of `run` from the `System` trait simply calls `run_unsafe`. That is not valid for exclusive systems. They must always be called via `run`, as `run_unsafe` takes `&World` instead of `&mut World`.
Trivial reproduction example:
```rust
fn main() {
App::new()
.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
.add_system(exclusive.pipe(another))
.run();
}
fn exclusive(_world: &mut World) {}
fn another() {}
```
If you run this, you will get a panic 'Cannot run exclusive systems with a shared World reference' and the backtrace shows how bevy (correctly) tries to call the `run` method (because the system is exclusive), but it is the implementation from the `System` trait (because `PipeSystem` does not have its own), which calls `run_unsafe` (incorrect):
- 3: <bevy_ecs::system::system_piping::PipeSystem<SystemA,SystemB> as bevy_ecs::system::system::System>::run_unsafe
- 4: bevy_ecs::system::system::System::run
# Objective
Allow more use cases where the user may benefit from both `ExtractComponentPlugin` _and_ `UniformComponentPlugin`.
## Solution
Add an associated type to `ExtractComponent` in order to allow specifying the output component (or bundle).
Make `extract_component` return an `Option<_>` such that components can be extracted only when needed.
What problem does this solve?
`ExtractComponentPlugin` allows extracting components, but currently the output type is the same as the input.
This means that use cases such as having a settings struct which turns into a uniform is awkward.
For example we might have:
```rust
struct MyStruct {
enabled: bool,
val: f32
}
struct MyStructUniform {
val: f32
}
```
With the new approach, we can extract `MyStruct` only when it is enabled, and turn it into its related uniform.
This chains well with `UniformComponentPlugin`.
The user may then:
```rust
app.add_plugin(ExtractComponentPlugin::<MyStruct>::default());
app.add_plugin(UniformComponentPlugin::<MyStructUniform>::default());
```
This then saves the user a fair amount of boilerplate.
## Changelog
### Changed
- `ExtractComponent` can specify output type, and outputting is optional.

# Objective
- Bevy should be usable to create 'overlay' type apps, where the input is not captured by Bevy, but passed down/into a target app, or to allow passive displays/widgets etc.
## Solution
- the `winit:🪟:Window` already has a `set_cursor_hittest()` which basically does this for mouse input events, so I've exposed it (trying to copy the style laid out in the existing wrappings, and added a simple demo.
---
## Changelog
- Added `hittest` to `WindowAttributes`
- Added the `hittest`'s setters/getters
- Modified the `WindowBuilder`
- Modifed the `WindowDescriptor`'s `Default` impl.
- Added an example `cargo run --example fallthrough`
# Objective
Fixes#4884. `ComponentTicks` stores both added and changed ticks contiguously in the same 8 bytes. This is convenient when passing around both together, but causes half the bytes fetched from memory for the purposes of change detection to effectively go unused. This is inefficient when most queries (no filter, mutating *something*) only write out to the changed ticks.
## Solution
Split the storage for change detection ticks into two separate `Vec`s inside `Column`. Fetch only what is needed during iteration.
This also potentially also removes one blocker from autovectorization of dense queries.
EDIT: This is confirmed to enable autovectorization of dense queries in `for_each` and `par_for_each` where possible. Unfortunately `iter` has other blockers that prevent it.
### TODO
- [x] Microbenchmark
- [x] Check if this allows query iteration to autovectorize simple loops.
- [x] Clean up all of the spurious tuples now littered throughout the API
### Open Questions
- ~~Is `Mut::is_added` absolutely necessary? Can we not just use `Added` or `ChangeTrackers`?~~ It's optimized out if unused.
- ~~Does the fetch of the added ticks get optimized out if not used?~~ Yes it is.
---
## Changelog
Added: `Tick`, a wrapper around a single change detection tick.
Added: `Column::get_added_ticks`
Added: `Column::get_column_ticks`
Added: `SparseSet::get_added_ticks`
Added: `SparseSet::get_column_ticks`
Changed: `Column` now stores added and changed ticks separately internally.
Changed: Most APIs returning `&UnsafeCell<ComponentTicks>` now returns `TickCells` instead, which contains two separate `&UnsafeCell<Tick>` for either component ticks.
Changed: `Query::for_each(_mut)`, `Query::par_for_each(_mut)` will now leverage autovectorization to speed up query iteration where possible.
## Migration Guide
