# Objective
The pointer types introduced in #3001 are useful not just in `bevy_ecs`, but also in crates like `bevy_reflect` (#4475) or even outside of bevy.
## Solution
Extract `Ptr<'a>`, `PtrMut<'a>`, `OwnedPtr<'a>`, `ThinSlicePtr<'a, T>` and `UnsafeCellDeref` from `bevy_ecs::ptr` into `bevy_ptr`.
**Note:** `bevy_ecs` still reexports the `bevy_ptr` as `bevy_ecs::ptr` so that crates like `bevy_transform` can use the `Bundle` derive without needing to depend on `bevy_ptr` themselves.
# Objective
- Hierarchy tools are not just used for `Transform`: they are also used for scenes.
- In the future there's interest in using them for other features, such as visiibility inheritance.
- The fact that these tools are found in `bevy_transform` causes a great deal of user and developer confusion
- Fixes#2758.
## Solution
- Split `bevy_transform` into two!
- Make everything work again.
Note that this is a very tightly scoped PR: I *know* there are code quality and docs issues that existed in bevy_transform that I've just moved around. We should fix those in a seperate PR and try to merge this ASAP to reduce the bitrot involved in splitting an entire crate.
## Frustrations
The API around `GlobalTransform` is a mess: we have massive code and docs duplication, no link between the two types and no clear way to extend this to other forms of inheritance.
In the medium-term, I feel pretty strongly that `GlobalTransform` should be replaced by something like `Inherited<Transform>`, which lives in `bevy_hierarchy`:
- avoids code duplication
- makes the inheritance pattern extensible
- links the types at the type-level
- allows us to remove all references to inheritance from `bevy_transform`, making it more useful as a standalone crate and cleaning up its docs

- preparation for more advanced / cleaner hierarchy tools: go read https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/53 !
- originally attempted by @finegeometer in #2789. It was a great idea, just needed more discussion!

# Objective
- `WgpuOptions` is mutated to be updated with the actual device limits and features, but this information is readily available to both the main and render worlds through the `RenderDevice` which has .limits() and .features() methods
- Information about the adapter in terms of its name, the backend in use, etc were not being exposed but have clear use cases for being used to take decisions about what rendering code to use. For example, if something works well on AMD GPUs but poorly on Intel GPUs. Or perhaps something works well in Vulkan but poorly in DX12.
## Solution
- Stop mutating `WgpuOptions `and don't insert the updated values into the main and render worlds
- Return `AdapterInfo` from `initialize_renderer` and insert it into the main and render worlds
- Use `RenderDevice` limits in the lighting code that was using `WgpuOptions.limits`.
- Renamed `WgpuOptions` to `WgpuSettings`
# Objective
CI should check for missing backticks in doc comments.
Fixes#3435
## Solution
`clippy` has a lint for this: `doc_markdown`. This enables that lint in the CI script.
Of course, enabling this lint in CI causes a bunch of lint errors, so I've gone through and fixed all of them. This was a huge edit that touched a ton of files, so I split the PR up by crate.
When all of the following are merged, the CI should pass and this can be merged.

# Objective
This contributes documentation that should cover the entirety of bevy_internal as requested in #3492
## Solution
warn(missing_docs) has been activated and documentation has been added to missing parts so that no warnings appear from this setting
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.
# Objective
Port bevy_ui to pipelined-rendering (see #2535 )
## Solution
I did some changes during the port:
- [X] separate color from the texture asset (as suggested [here](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/874353914525413406))
- [X] ~give the vertex shader a per-instance buffer instead of per-vertex buffer~ (incompatible with batching)
Remaining features to implement to reach parity with the old renderer:
- [x] textures
- [X] TextBundle
I'd also like to add these features, but they need some design discussion:
- [x] batching
- [ ] separate opaque and transparent phases
- [ ] multiple windows
- [ ] texture atlases
- [ ] (maybe) clipping
# Objective
Port bevy_gltf to the pipelined-rendering branch.
## Solution
crates/bevy_gltf has been copied and pasted into pipelined/bevy_gltf2 and modifications were made to work with the pipelined-rendering branch. Notably vertex tangents and vertex colours are not supported.

This decouples the opinionated "core pipeline" from the new (less opinionated) bevy_render crate. The "core pipeline" is intended to be used by crates like bevy_sprites, bevy_pbr, bevy_ui, and 3rd party crates that extends core rendering functionality.
This obsoletes #1111 and #2445, since @ColonisationCaptain and @temhotaokeaha haven't replied to #2373.
I believe that both of those PRs would be fine to keep, but they're even more fine to keep now :)
This is a rebase of StarArawns PBR work from #261 with IngmarBitters work from #1160 cherry-picked on top.
I had to make a few minor changes to make some intermediate commits compile and the end result is not yet 100% what I expected, so there's a bit more work to do.
