# Objective
- it would be useful to inspect these structs using reflection
## Solution
- derive and register reflect
- Note that `#[reflect(Component)]` requires `Default` (or `FromWorld`) until #6060, so I implemented `Default` for `Tonemapping` with `is_enabled: false`
# Objective
The `load_internal_asset` macro is helpful when creating rendering plugins, but it doesn't support load binary assets (like those compiled as spir-v).
## Solution
Add a `load_internal_binary_asset` macro that use `include_bytes!`.
# Objective
Fixes#5393
## Solution
- Add padding to `GlobalsUniform` / `Globals` to make it 16-byte aligned.
Still not super clear on whether this is a `naga` thing or an `encase` thing or what. But now that we're offering `globals` up to users and #5393 is not just breaking an example, maybe we should do this sort of workaround?
* Move the despawn debug log from `World::despawn` to `EntityMut::despawn`.
* Move the despawn non-existent warning log from `Commands::despawn` to `World::despawn`.
This should make logging consistent regardless of which of the three `despawn` methods is used.

# Objective
Using `Reflect` we can easily switch between a specific reflection trait object, such as a `dyn Struct`, to a `dyn Reflect` object via `Reflect::as_reflect` or `Reflect::as_reflect_mut`.
```rust
fn do_something(value: &dyn Reflect) {/* ... */}
let foo: Box<dyn Struct> = Box::new(Foo::default());
do_something(foo.as_reflect());
```
However, there is no way to convert a _boxed_ reflection trait object to a `Box<dyn Reflect>`.
## Solution
Add a `Reflect::into_reflect` method which allows converting a boxed reflection trait object back into a boxed `Reflect` trait object.
```rust
fn do_something(value: Box<dyn Reflect>) {/* ... */}
let foo: Box<dyn Struct> = Box::new(Foo::default());
do_something(foo.into_reflect());
```
---
## Changelog
- Added `Reflect::into_reflect`
# Objective
Some render plugins, like [bevy-hikari](https://github.com/cryscan/bevy-hikari) require to set `CameraRenderGraph`. In order to switch between render graphs I need to insert a new `CameraRenderGraph` component. It's not very ergonomic.
## Solution
Add `CameraRenderGraph::set` like in [Name](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/core/struct.Name.html).
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `CameraRenderGraph::set`.
# Objective
There is no way to gen an owned value of `Reflect`.
## Solution
Add it! This was originally a part of #6421, but @MrGVSV asked me to create a separate for it to implement reflect diffing.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `Reflect::reflect_owned` to get an owned version of `Reflect`.
# Objective
`NodeBundle` contains an `image` field, which can be misleading, because if you do supply an image there, nothing will be shown to screen. You need to use an `ImageBundle` instead.
## Solution
* `image` (`UiImage`) field is removed from `NodeBundle`,
* extraction stage queries now make an optional query for `UiImage`, if one is not found, use the image handle that is used as a default by `UiImage`: c019a60b39/crates/bevy_ui/src/ui_node.rs (L464)
* touching up docs for `NodeBundle` to help guide what `NodeBundle` should be used for
* renamed `entity.rs` to `node_bundle.rs` as that gives more of a hint regarding the module's purpose
* separating `camera_config` stuff from the pre-made UI node bundles so that `node_bundle.rs` makes more sense as a module name.
# Objective
- adding a new `.register` should not overwrite old type data
- separate crates should both be able to register the same type
I ran into this while debugging why `register::<Handle<T>>` removed the `ReflectHandle` type data from a prior `register_asset_reflect`.
## Solution
- make `register` do nothing if called again for the same type
- I also removed some unnecessary duplicate registrations
# Objective
When an error causes `debug_checked_unreachable` to be called, the panic message unhelpfully points to the function definition instead of the place that caused the error.
## Solution
Add the `#[track_caller]` attribute in debug mode.
# Objective
Fixes: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/6466
Summary: The UI Scaling example dynamically scales the UI which will dynamically allocate fonts to the font atlas surpassing the protective limit, throwing a panic.
## Solution
- Set TextSettings.allow_dynamic_font_size = true for the UI Scaling example. This is the ideal solution since the dynamic changes to the UI are not continuous yet still discrete.
- Update the panic text to reflect ui scaling as a potential cause
# Objective
Bevy UI (and third party plugins) currently have no good way to position themselves after all post processing effects. They currently use the tonemapping node, but this is not adequate if there is anything after tonemapping (such as FXAA).
## Solution
Add a logical `END_MAIN_PASS_POST_PROCESSING` RenderGraph node that main pass post processing effects position themselves before, and things like UIs can position themselves after.
# Objective
This PR fixes#5789, by enabling movable (and scalable) directional light shadow volumes.
## Solution
This PR changes `ExtractedDirectionalLight` to hold a copy of the `DirectionalLight` entity's `GlobalTransform`, instead of just a `direction` vector. This allows the shadow map volume (as defined by the light's `shadow_projection` field) to be transformed honoring translation _and_ scale transforms, and not just rotation.
It also augments the texel size calculation (used to determine the `shadow_normal_bias`) so that it now takes into account the upper bound of the x/y/z scale of the `GlobalTransform`.
This change makes the directional light extraction code more consistent with point and spot lights (that already use `transform`), and allows easily moving and scaling the shadow volume along with a player entity based on camera distance/angle, immediately enabling more real world use cases until we have a more sophisticated adaptive implementation, such as the one described in #3629.
**Note:** While it was previously possible to update the projection achieving a similar effect, depending on the light direction and distance to the origin, the fact that the shadow map camera was always positioned at the origin with a hardcoded `Vec3::Y` up value meant you would get sub-optimal or inconsistent/incorrect results.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- `DirectionalLight` shadow volumes now honor translation and scale transforms
## Migration Guide
- If your directional lights were positioned at the origin and not scaled (the default, most common scenario) no changes are needed on your part; it just works as before;
- If you previously had a system for dynamically updating directional light shadow projections, you might now be able to simplify your code by updating the directional light entity's transform instead;
- In the unlikely scenario that a scene with directional lights that previously rendered shadows correctly has missing shadows, make sure your directional lights are positioned at (0, 0, 0) and are not scaled to a size that's too large or too small.

`EntityMut::remove_children` does not call `self.update_location()` which is unsound.
Verified by adding the following assertion, which fails when running the tests.
```rust
let before = self.location();
self.update_location();
assert_eq!(before, self.location());
```
I also removed incorrect messages like "parent entity is not modified" and the unhelpful "Inserting a bundle in the children entities may change the parent entity's location if they were of the same archetype" which might lead people to think that's the *only* thing that can change the entity's location.
# Changelog

Allow passing `Vec`s of glam vector types as vertex attributes.
Alternative to #4548 and #2719
Also used some macros to cut down on all the repetition.
# Migration Guide
Implementations of `From<Vec<[u16; 4]>>` and `From<Vec<[u8; 4]>>` for `VertexAttributeValues` have been removed.
I you're passing either `Vec<[u16; 4]>` or `Vec<[u8; 4]>` into `Mesh::insert_attribute` it will now require wrapping it with right the `VertexAttributeValues` enum variant.

# Objective
Closes#5934
Currently it is not possible to de/serialize data to non-self-describing formats using reflection.
## Solution
Add support for non-self-describing de/serialization using reflection.
This allows us to use binary formatters, like [`postcard`](https://crates.io/crates/postcard):
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, FromReflect, Debug, PartialEq)]
struct Foo {
data: String
}
let mut registry = TypeRegistry::new();
registry.register::<Foo>();
let input = Foo {
data: "Hello world!".to_string()
};
// === Serialize! === //
let serializer = ReflectSerializer::new(&input, ®istry);
let bytes: Vec<u8> = postcard::to_allocvec(&serializer).unwrap();
println!("{:?}", bytes); // Output: [129, 217, 61, 98, ...]
// === Deserialize! === //
let deserializer = UntypedReflectDeserializer::new(®istry);
let dynamic_output = deserializer
.deserialize(&mut postcard::Deserializer::from_bytes(&bytes))
.unwrap();
let output = <Foo as FromReflect>::from_reflect(dynamic_output.as_ref()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(expected, output); // OK!
```
#### Crates Tested
- ~~[`rmp-serde`](https://crates.io/crates/rmp-serde)~~ Apparently, this _is_ self-describing
- ~~[`bincode` v2.0.0-rc.1](https://crates.io/crates/bincode/2.0.0-rc.1) (using [this PR](https://github.com/bincode-org/bincode/pull/586))~~ This actually works for the latest release (v1.3.3) of [`bincode`](https://crates.io/crates/bincode) as well. You just need to be sure to use fixed-int encoding.
- [`postcard`](https://crates.io/crates/postcard)
## Future Work
Ideally, we would refactor the `serde` module, but I don't think I'll do that in this PR so as to keep the diff relatively small (and to avoid any painful rebases). This should probably be done once this is merged, though.
Some areas we could improve with a refactor:
* Split deserialization logic across multiple files
* Consolidate helper functions/structs
* Make the logic more DRY

# Objective
Alternative to #6424Fixes#6226
Fixes spawning empty bundles
## Solution
Add `BundleComponentStatus` trait and implement it for `AddBundle` and a new `SpawnBundleStatus` type (which always returns an Added status). `write_components` is now generic on `BundleComponentStatus` instead of taking `AddBundle` directly. This means BundleSpawner can now avoid needing AddBundle from the Empty archetype, which means BundleSpawner no longer needs a reference to the original archetype.
In theory this cuts down on the work done in `write_components` when spawning, but I'm seeing no change in the spawn benchmarks.

- Fix lighting of double-sided materials when using a negative scale
- The FlightHelmet.gltf model's hose uses a double-sided material. Loading the model with a uniform scale of -1.0, and comparing against Blender, it was identified that negating the world-space tangent, bitangent, and interpolated normal produces incorrect lighting. Discussion with Morten Mikkelsen clarified that this is both incorrect and unnecessary.
## Solution
- Remove the code that negates the T, B, and N vectors (the interpolated world-space tangent, calculated world-space bitangent, and interpolated world-space normal) when seeing the back face of a double-sided material with negative scale.
- Negate the world normal for a double-sided back face only when not using normal mapping

# Objective
Currently we are limiting the amount of direction lights in a scene to one.
## Solution
Increase the amount of direction lights from 1 to 10.
This still is not a perfect solution, but should unblock many use cases.
We could probably just store the directional lights similar to the point lights in an storage buffer, allowing for an variable amount of directional lights.

# Objective
Right now, the `TaskPool` implementation allows panics to permanently kill worker threads upon panicking. This is currently non-recoverable without using a `std::panic::catch_unwind` in every scheduled task. This is poor ergonomics and even poorer developer experience. This is exacerbated by #2250 as these threads are global and cannot be replaced after initialization.
Removes the need for temporary fixes like #4998. Fixes#4996. Fixes#6081. Fixes#5285. Fixes#5054. Supersedes #2307.
## Solution
The current solution is to wrap `Executor::run` in `TaskPool` with a `catch_unwind`, and discarding the potential panic. This was taken straight from [smol](404c7bcc0a/src/spawn.rs (L44))'s current implementation. ~~However, this is not entirely ideal as:~~
- ~~the signaled to the awaiting task. We would need to change `Task<T>` to use `async_task::FallibleTask` internally, and even then it doesn't signal *why* it panicked, just that it did.~~ (See below).
- ~~no error is logged of any kind~~ (See below)
- ~~it's unclear if it drops other tasks in the executor~~ (it does not)
- ~~This allows the ECS parallel executor to keep chugging even though a system's task has been dropped. This inevitably leads to deadlock in the executor.~~ Assuming we don't catch the unwind in ParallelExecutor, this will naturally kill the main thread.
### Alternatives
A final solution likely will incorporate elements of any or all of the following.
#### ~~Log and Ignore~~
~~Log the panic, drop the task, keep chugging. This only addresses the discoverability of the panic. The process will continue to run, probably deadlocking the executor. tokio's detatched tasks operate in this fashion.~~
Panics already do this by default, even when caught by `catch_unwind`.
#### ~~`catch_unwind` in `ParallelExecutor`~~
~~Add another layer catching system-level panics into the `ParallelExecutor`. How the executor continues when a core dependency of many systems fails to run is up for debate.~~
`async_task::Task` bubbles up panics already, this will transitively push panics all the way to the main thread.
#### ~~Emulate/Copy `tokio::JoinHandle` with `Task<T>`~~
~~`tokio::JoinHandle<T>` bubbles up the panic from the underlying task when awaited. This can be transitively applied across other APIs that also use `Task<T>` like `Query::par_for_each` and `TaskPool::scope`, bubbling up the panic until it's either caught or it reaches the main thread.~~
`async_task::Task` bubbles up panics already, this will transitively push panics all the way to the main thread.
#### Abort on Panic
The nuclear option. Log the error, abort the entire process on any thread in the task pool panicking. Definitely avoids any additional infrastructure for passing the panic around, and might actually lead to more efficient code as any unwinding is optimized out. However gives the developer zero options for dealing with the issue, a seemingly poor choice for debuggability, and prevents graceful shutdown of the process. Potentially an option for handling very low-level task management (a la #4740). Roughly takes the shape of:
```rust
struct AbortOnPanic;
impl Drop for AbortOnPanic {
fn drop(&mut self) {
abort!();
}
}
let guard = AbortOnPanic;
// Run task
std::mem::forget(AbortOnPanic);
```
---
## Changelog
Changed: `bevy_tasks::TaskPool`'s threads will no longer terminate permanently when a task scheduled onto them panics.
Changed: `bevy_tasks::Task` and`bevy_tasks::Scope` will propagate panics in the spawned tasks/scopes to the parent thread.
# Objective
Add consistent UI rendering and interaction where deep nodes inside two different hierarchies will never render on top of one-another by default and offer an escape hatch (z-index) for nodes to change their depth.
## The problem with current implementation
The current implementation of UI rendering is broken in that regard, mainly because [it sets the Z value of the `Transform` component based on a "global Z" space](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/crates/bevy_ui/src/update.rs#L43) shared by all nodes in the UI. This doesn't account for the fact that each node's final `GlobalTransform` value will be relative to its parent. This effectively makes the depth unpredictable when two deep trees are rendered on top of one-another.
At the moment, it's also up to each part of the UI code to sort all of the UI nodes. The solution that's offered here does the full sorting of UI node entities once and offers the result through a resource so that all systems can use it.
## Solution
### New ZIndex component
This adds a new optional `ZIndex` enum component for nodes which offers two mechanism:
- `ZIndex::Local(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to its siblings.
- `ZIndex::Global(i32)`: Overrides the depth of the node relative to the UI root. This basically allows any node in the tree to "escape" the parent and be ordered relative to the entire UI.
Note that in the current implementation, omitting `ZIndex` on a node has the same result as adding `ZIndex::Local(0)`. Additionally, the "global" stacking context is essentially a way to add your node to the root stacking context, so using `ZIndex::Local(n)` on a root node (one without parent) will share that space with all nodes using `Index::Global(n)`.
### New UiStack resource
This adds a new `UiStack` resource which is calculated from both hierarchy and `ZIndex` during UI update and contains a vector of all node entities in the UI, ordered by depth (from farthest from camera to closest). This is exposed publicly by the bevy_ui crate with the hope that it can be used for consistent ordering and to reduce the amount of sorting that needs to be done by UI systems (i.e. instead of sorting everything by `global_transform.z` in every system, this array can be iterated over).
### New z_index example
This also adds a new z_index example that showcases the new `ZIndex` component. It's also a good general demo of the new UI stack system, because making this kind of UI was very broken with the old system (e.g. nodes would render on top of each other, not respecting hierarchy or insert order at all).
---
## Changelog
- Added the `ZIndex` component to bevy_ui.
- Added the `UiStack` resource to bevy_ui, and added implementation in a new `stack.rs` module.
- Removed the previous Z updating system from bevy_ui, because it was replaced with the above.
- Changed bevy_ui rendering to use UiStack instead of z ordering.
- Changed bevy_ui focus/interaction system to use UiStack instead of z ordering.
- Added a new z_index example.

For `derive(WorldQuery)`, there are three structs generated, `Item`, `Fetch` and `State`.
These inherit the visibility of the derived structure, thus `#![warn(missing_docs)]` would
warn about missing documentation for these structures.
- [ ] I'd like some advice on what to write here, as I personally don't really understand `Fetch` nor `State`.
# Objective
Currently, `bevy_dynamic_plugin` simply panics on error. This makes it impossible to handle failures in applications that use this feature.
For example, I'd like to build an optional expansion for my game, that may not be distributed to all users. I want to use `bevy_dynamic_plugin` for loading it. I want my game to try to load it on startup, but continue without it if it cannot be loaded.
## Solution
- Make the `dynamically_load_plugin` function return a `Result`, so it can gracefully return loading errors.
- Create an error enum type, to provide useful information about the kind of error. This adds `thiserror` to the dependencies of `bevy_dynamic_plugin`, but that dependency is already used in other parts of bevy (such as `bevy_asset`), so not a big deal.
I chose not to change the behavior of the builder method in the App extension trait. I kept it as panicking. There is no clean way (that I'm aware of) to make a builder-style API that has fallible methods. So it is either a panic or a warning. I feel the panic is more appropriate.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- `bevy_dynamic_plugin::dynamically_load_plugin` now returns `Result` instead of panicking, to allow for error handling
# Objective
* Add benchmarks for `Query::get_many`.
* Speed up `Query::get_many`.

I've only described it's behavior so far (which appears to be the same as with `system_param`). Is there another use-case for this besides with `PhantomData`? I could only find a single usage of this construct on GitHub, which is [here](ffcb816927/bevy/examples/ecs/custom_query_param.rs (L102)).
I was also wondering if it would make sense to add a usage example to the `custom_query_example`? 🤔 That's why it's currently still in there.

Post processing effects cannot read and write to the same texture. Currently they must own their own intermediate texture and redundantly copy from that back to the main texture. This is very inefficient.
Additionally, working with ViewTarget is more complicated than it needs to be, especially when working with HDR textures.
## Solution
`ViewTarget` now stores two copies of the "main texture". It uses an atomic value to track which is currently the "main texture" (this interior mutability is necessary to accommodate read-only RenderGraph execution).
`ViewTarget` now has a `post_process_write` method, which will return a source and destination texture. Each call to this method will flip between the two copies of the "main texture".
```rust
let post_process = render_target.post_process_write();
let source_texture = post_process.source;
let destination_texture = post_process.destination;
```
The caller _must_ read from the source texture and write to the destination texture, as it is assumed that the destination texture will become the new "main texture".
For simplicity / understandability `ViewTarget` is now a flat type. "hdr-ness" is a property of the `TextureFormat`. The internals are fully private in the interest of providing simple / consistent apis. Developers can now easily access the main texture by calling `view_target.main_texture()`.
HDR ViewTargets no longer have an "ldr texture" with `TextureFormat::bevy_default`. They _only_ have their two "hdr" textures. This simplifies the mental model. All we have is the "currently active hdr texture" and the "other hdr texture", which we flip between for post processing effects.
The tonemapping node has been rephrased to use this "post processing pattern". The blit pass has been removed, and it now only runs a pass when HDR is enabled. Notably, both the input and output texture are assumed to be HDR. This means that tonemapping behaves just like any other "post processing effect". It could theoretically be moved anywhere in the "effect chain" and continue to work.
In general, I think these changes will make the lives of people making post processing effects much easier. And they better position us to start building higher level / more structured "post processing effect stacks".

## Changelog
- `ViewTarget` now stores two copies of the "main texture". Calling `ViewTarget::post_process_write` will flip between copies of the main texture.
# Objective
- `ReflectDefault` can be used to create default values for reflected types
- `std` primitives that are `Default`-constructable should register `ReflectDefault`
## Solution
- register `ReflectDefault`
# Objective
- Fixes #6311
- Make it clearer what should be done in the example (close the Bevy app window)
## Solution
- Remove the second windowed Bevy App [since winit does not support this](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/blob/v0.27.4/src/event_loop.rs#L82-L83)
- Add title to the Bevy window asking the user to close it
This is more of a quick fix to have a working example. It would be nicer if we had a small real usecase for this functionality.
Another alternativ that I tried out: If we want to showcase a second Bevy app as it was before, we could still do this as long as one of them does not have a window. But I don't see how this is helpful in the context of the example, so I stuck with only one Bevy app and a simple print afterwards.
# Objective
Entities are unique, however, this is not reflected in the scene format. Currently, entities are stored in a list where a user could inadvertently create a duplicate of the same entity.
## Solution
Switch from the list representation to a map representation for entities.
---
## Changelog
* The `entities` field in the scene format is now a map of entity ID to entity data
## Migration Guide
The scene format now stores its collection of entities in a map rather than a list:
```rust
// OLD
(
entities: [
(
entity: 12,
components: {
"bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform": (
translation: (
x: 0.0,
y: 0.0,
z: 0.0
),
rotation: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0),
scale: (
x: 1.0,
y: 1.0,
z: 1.0
),
),
},
),
],
)
// NEW
(
entities: {
12: (
components: {
"bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform": (
translation: (
x: 0.0,
y: 0.0,
z: 0.0
),
rotation: (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0),
scale: (
x: 1.0,
y: 1.0,
z: 1.0
),
),
},
),
},
)
```
# Objective
- Make it impossible to add a plugin twice
- This is going to be more a risk for plugins with configurations, to avoid things like `App::new().add_plugins(DefaultPlugins).add_plugin(ImagePlugin::default_nearest())`
## Solution
- Panic when a plugin is added twice
- It's still possible to mark a plugin as not unique by overriding `is_unique`
- ~~Simpler version of~~ #3988 (not simpler anymore because of how `PluginGroupBuilder` implements `PluginGroup`)
