# Objective
Reduce code duplication and improve APIs of Bevy's [global
taskpools](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/main/crates/bevy_tasks/src/usages.rs).
## Solution
- As all three of the global taskpools have identical implementations
and only differ in their identifiers, this PR moves the implementation
into a macro to reduce code duplication.
- The `init` method is renamed to `get_or_init` to more accurately
reflect what it really does.
- Add a new `try_get` method that just returns `None` when the pool is
uninitialized, to complement the other getter methods.
- Minor documentation improvements to accompany the above changes.
---
## Changelog
- Added a new `try_get` method to the global TaskPools
- The global TaskPools' `init` method has been renamed to `get_or_init`
for clarity
- Documentation improvements
## Migration Guide
- Uses of `ComputeTaskPool::init`, `AsyncComputeTaskPool::init` and
`IoTaskPool::init` should be changed to `::get_or_init`.
# Objective
- Handle pausing audio when Android app is suspended
## Solution
- This is the start of application lifetime events. They are mostly
useful on mobile
- Next version of winit should add a few more
- When application is suspended, send an event to notify the
application, and run the schedule one last time before actually
suspending the app
- Audio is now suspended too 🎉https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/8672791/d74e2e09-ee29-4f40-adf2-36a0c064f94e

# Objective
Fog color was passed to shaders without conversion from sRGB to linear
color space. Because shaders expect colors in linear space this resulted
in wrong color being used. This is most noticeable in open scenes with
dark fog color and clear color set to the same color. In such case
background/clear color (which is properly processed) is going to be
darker than very far objects.
Example:
[bevy-fog-color-bug.zip](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/files/13063718/bevy-fog-color-bug.zip)
## Solution
Add missing conversion of fog color to linear color space.
---
## Changelog
* Fixed conversion of fog color
## Migration Guide
- Colors in `FogSettings` struct (`color` and `directional_light_color`)
are now sent to the GPU in linear space. If you were using
`Color::rgb()`/`Color::rgba()` and would like to retain the previous
colors, you can quickly fix it by switching to
`Color::rgb_linear()`/`Color::rgba_linear()`.
# Objective
- After #9826, there are issues on "run once runners"

# Objective
Even at `reflectance == 0.0`, our ambient and environment map light
implementations still produce fresnel/specular highlights.
Such a low `reflectance` value lies outside of the physically possible
range and is already used by our directional, point and spot light
implementations (via the `fresnel()` function) to enable artistic
control, effectively disabling the fresnel "look" for non-physically
realistic materials. Since ambient and environment lights use a
different formulation, they were not honoring this same principle.
This PR aims to bring consistency to all light types, offering the same
fresnel extinguishing control to ambient and environment lights.
Thanks to `@nathanf` for [pointing
out](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1164083373514440744)
the [Filament docs section about
this](https://google.github.io/filament/Filament.md.html#lighting/occlusion/specularocclusion).
## Solution
- We use [the same
formulation](ffc572728f/crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr_lighting.wgsl (L99))
already used by the `fresnel()` function in `bevy_pbr::lighting` to
modulate the F90, to modulate the specular component of Ambient and
Environment Map lights.
## Comparison
⚠️ **Modified version of the PBR example for demo purposes, that shows
reflectance (_NOT_ part of this PR)** ⚠️
Also, keep in mind this is a very subtle difference (look for the
fresnel highlights on the lower left spheres, you might need to zoom in.

## Changelog
- Ambient and Environment Map lights will now honor values of
`reflectance` that are below the physically possible range (⪅ 0.35) by
extinguishing their fresnel highlights. (Just like point, directional
and spot lights already did.) This allows for more consistent artistic
control and for non-physically realistic looks with all light types.
## Migration Guide
- If Fresnel highlights from Ambient and Environment Map lights are no
longer visible in your materials, make sure you're using a higher,
physically plausible value of `reflectance` (⪆ 0.35).
# Objective
- I want to use the `debug_glam_assert` feature with bevy.
## Solution

---
## Changelog
- Re-export `debug_glam_assert` feature flag from glam.
# Objective
Fixes#5101
Alternative to #6511
## Solution
Corrected the behavior for ignored fields in `FromReflect`, which was
previously using the incorrect field indexes.
Similarly, fields marked with `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` no longer
break when using `FromReflect` after deserialization. This was done by
modifying `SerializationData` to store a function pointer that can later
be used to generate a default instance of the skipped field during
deserialization.
The function pointer points to a function generated by the derive macro
using the behavior designated by `#[reflect(default)]` (or just
`Default` if none provided). The entire output of the macro is now
wrapped in an [unnamed
constant](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/constant-items.html#unnamed-constant)
which keeps this behavior hygienic.
#### Rationale
The biggest downside to this approach is that it requires fields marked
`#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` to provide the ability to create a
default instance— either via a `Default` impl or by specifying a custom
one. While this isn't great, I think it might be justified by the fact
that we really need to create this value when using `FromReflect` on a
deserialized object. And we need to do this _during_ deserialization
because after that (at least for tuples and tuple structs) we lose
information about which field is which: _"is the value at index 1 in
this `DynamicTupleStruct` the actual value for index 1 or is it really
the value for index 2 since index 1 is skippable...?"_
#### Alternatives
An alternative would be to store `Option<Box<dyn Reflect>>` within
`DynamicTuple` and `DynamicTupleStruct` instead of just `Box<dyn
Reflect>`. This would allow us to insert "empty"/"missing" fields during
deserialization, thus saving the positional information of the skipped
fields. However, this may require changing the API of `Tuple` and
`TupleStruct` such that they can account for their dynamic counterparts
returning `None` for a skipped field. In practice this would probably
mean exposing the `Option`-ness of the dynamics onto implementors via
methods like `Tuple::drain` or `TupleStruct::field`.
Personally, I think requiring `Default` would be better than muddying up
the API to account for these special cases. But I'm open to trying out
this other approach if the community feels that it's better.
---
## Changelog
### Public Changes
#### Fixed
- The behaviors of `#[reflect(ignore)]` and
`#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` are no longer dependent on field order
#### Changed
- Fields marked with `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` now need to either
implement `Default` or specify a custom default function using
`#[reflect(default = "path::to::some_func")]`
- Deserializing a type with fields marked `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]`
will now include that field initialized to its specified default value
- `SerializationData::new` now takes the new `SkippedField` struct along
with the skipped field index
- Renamed `SerializationData::is_ignored_field` to
`SerializationData::is_field_skipped`
#### Added
- Added `SkippedField` struct
- Added methods `SerializationData::generate_default` and
`SerializationData::iter_skipped`
### Internal Changes
#### Changed
- Replaced `members_to_serialization_denylist` and `BitSet<u32>` with
`SerializationDataDef`
- The `Reflect` derive is more hygienic as it now outputs within an
[unnamed
constant](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/constant-items.html#unnamed-constant)
- `StructField::index` has been split up into
`StructField::declaration_index` and `StructField::reflection_index`
#### Removed
- Removed `bitset` dependency
## Migration Guide
* Fields marked `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` now must implement
`Default` or specify a custom default function with `#[reflect(default =
"path::to::some_func")]`
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct MyStruct {
#[reflect(skip_serializing)]
#[reflect(default = "get_foo_default")]
foo: Foo, // <- `Foo` does not impl `Default` so requires a custom
function
#[reflect(skip_serializing)]
bar: Bar, // <- `Bar` impls `Default`
}
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct Foo(i32);
#[derive(Reflect, Default)]
struct Bar(i32);
fn get_foo_default() -> Foo {
Foo(123)
}
```
* `SerializationData::new` has been changed to expect an iterator of
`(usize, SkippedField)` rather than one of just `usize`
```rust
// BEFORE
SerializationData::new([0, 3].into_iter());
// AFTER
SerializationData::new([
(0, SkippedField::new(field_0_default_fn)),
(3, SkippedField::new(field_3_default_fn)),
].into_iter());
```
* `Serialization::is_ignored_field` has been renamed to
`Serialization::is_field_skipped`
* Fields marked `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` are now included in
deserialization output. This may affect logic that expected those fields
to be absent.
# Objective
To get the width or height of an image you do:
```rust

that is quite verbose.
This PR adds some convenient methods for Image to reduce verbosity.
## Changelog
* Add a `width()` method for getting the width of an image.
* Add a `height()` method for getting the height of an image.
* Rename the `size()` method to `size_f32()`.
* Add a `size()` method for getting the size of an image as u32.
* Renamed the `aspect_2d()` method to `aspect_ratio()`.
## Migration Guide
Replace calls to the `Image::size()` method with `size_f32()`.
Replace calls to the `Image::aspect_2d()` method with `aspect_ratio()`.
# Objective

## Changelog
### Added
- Added a new texture error `TextureError::IncompleteCubemap`, used for
dds cubemap textures containing less than 6 faces, as that is not
supported on modern graphics APIs.
### Fixed
- DDS cubemaps are now loaded as cubemaps instead of 2D textures.
## Migration Guide
If you are matching on a `TextureError`, you will need to add a new
branch to handle `TextureError::IncompleteCubemap`.

# Objective
Simplify bind group creation code. alternative to (and based on) #9476
## Solution
- Add a `BindGroupEntries` struct that can transparently be used where
`&[BindGroupEntry<'b>]` is required in BindGroupDescriptors.
Allows constructing the descriptor's entries as:
```rust
render_device.create_bind_group(
"my_bind_group",
&my_layout,
&BindGroupEntries::with_indexes((
(2, &my_sampler),
(3, my_uniform),
)),
);
```
instead of
```rust
render_device.create_bind_group(
"my_bind_group",
&my_layout,
&[
BindGroupEntry {
binding: 2,
resource: BindingResource::Sampler(&my_sampler),
},
BindGroupEntry {
binding: 3,
resource: my_uniform,
},
],
);
```
or
```rust
render_device.create_bind_group(
"my_bind_group",
&my_layout,
&BindGroupEntries::sequential((&my_sampler, my_uniform)),
);
```
instead of
```rust
render_device.create_bind_group(
"my_bind_group",
&my_layout,
&[
BindGroupEntry {
binding: 0,
resource: BindingResource::Sampler(&my_sampler),
},
BindGroupEntry {
binding: 1,
resource: my_uniform,
},
],
);
```
the structs has no user facing macros, is tuple-type-based so stack
allocated, and has no noticeable impact on compile time.
- Also adds a `DynamicBindGroupEntries` struct with a similar api that
uses a `Vec` under the hood and allows extending the entries.
- Modifies `RenderDevice::create_bind_group` to take separate arguments
`label`, `layout` and `entries` instead of a `BindGroupDescriptor`
struct. The struct can't be stored due to the internal references, and
with only 3 members arguably does not add enough context to justify
itself.
- Modify the codebase to use the new api and the `BindGroupEntries` /
`DynamicBindGroupEntries` structs where appropriate (whenever the
entries slice contains more than 1 member).
## Migration Guide
- Calls to `RenderDevice::create_bind_group({BindGroupDescriptor {
label, layout, entries })` must be amended to
`RenderDevice::create_bind_group(label, layout, entries)`.
- If `label`s have been specified as `"bind_group_name".into()`, they
need to change to just `"bind_group_name"`. `Some("bind_group_name")`
and `None` will still work, but `Some("bind_group_name")` can optionally
be simplified to just `"bind_group_name"`.

# Objective
- bump naga_oil to 0.10
- update shader imports to use rusty syntax
## Migration Guide
naga_oil 0.10 reworks the import mechanism to support more syntax to
make it more rusty, and test for item use before importing to determine
which imports are modules and which are items, which allows:
- use rust-style imports
```
#import bevy_pbr::{
pbr_functions::{alpha_discard as discard, apply_pbr_lighting},
mesh_bindings,
}
```
- import partial paths:
```
#import part::of::path
...
path::remainder::function();
```
which will call to `part::of::path::remainder::function`
- use fully qualified paths without importing:
```
// #import bevy_pbr::pbr_functions
bevy_pbr::pbr_functions::pbr()
```
- use imported items without qualifying
```
#import bevy_pbr::pbr_functions::pbr
// for backwards compatibility the old style is still supported:
// #import bevy_pbr::pbr_functions pbr
...
pbr()
```
- allows most imported items to end with `_` and numbers (naga_oil#30).
still doesn't allow struct members to end with `_` or numbers but it's
progress.
- the vast majority of existing shader code will work without changes,
but will emit "deprecated" warnings for old-style imports. these can be
suppressed with the `allow-deprecated` feature.
- partly breaks overrides (as far as i'm aware nobody uses these yet) -
now overrides will only be applied if the overriding module is added as
an additional import in the arguments to `Composer::make_naga_module` or
`Composer::add_composable_module`. this is necessary to support
determining whether imports are modules or items.
# Objective
This PR aims to make it so that we don't accidentally go over
`MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS` (in WebGL) or
`maxSampledTexturesPerShaderStage` (in WebGPU), giving us some extra
leeway to add more view bind group textures.
(This PR is extracted from—and unblocks—#8015)
## Solution
- We replace the existing `view_layout` and `view_layout_multisampled`
pair with an array of 32 bind group layouts, generated ahead of time;
- For now, these layouts cover all the possible combinations of:
`multisampled`, `depth_prepass`, `normal_prepass`,
`motion_vector_prepass` and `deferred_prepass`:
- In the future, as @JMS55 pointed out, we can likely take out
`motion_vector_prepass` and `deferred_prepass`, as these are not really
needed for the mesh pipeline and can use separate pipelines. This would
bring the possible combinations down to 8;
- We can also add more "optional" textures as they become needed,
allowing the engine to scale to a wider variety of use cases in lower
end/web environments (e.g. some apps might just want normal and depth
prepasses, others might only want light probes), while still keeping a
high ceiling for high end native environments where more textures are
supported.
- While preallocating bind group layouts is relatively cheap, the number
of combinations grows exponentially, so we should likely limit ourselves
to something like at most 256–1024 total layouts until we find a better
solution (like generating them lazily)
- To make this mechanism a little bit more explicit/discoverable, so
that compatibility with WebGPU/WebGL is not broken by accident, we add a
`MESH_PIPELINE_VIEW_LAYOUT_SAFE_MAX_TEXTURES` const and warn whenever
the number of textures in the layout crosses it.
- The warning is gated by `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` and not issued in
release builds;
- We're counting the actual textures in the bind group layout instead of
using some roundabout metric so it should be accurate;
- Right now `MESH_PIPELINE_VIEW_LAYOUT_SAFE_MAX_TEXTURES` is set to 10
in order to leave 6 textures free for other groups;
- Currently there's no combination that would cause us to go over the
limit, but that will change once #8015 lands.
---
## Changelog
- `MeshPipeline` view bind group layouts now vary based on the current
multisampling and prepass states, saving a couple of texture binding
entries when prepasses are not in use.
## Migration Guide
- `MeshPipeline::view_layout` and
`MeshPipeline::view_layout_multisampled` have been replaced with a
private array to accomodate for variable view bind group layouts. To
obtain a view bind group layout for the current pipeline state, use the
new `MeshPipeline::get_view_layout()` or
`MeshPipeline::get_view_layout_from_key()` methods.
# Objective
Users shouldn't need to change their source code between "development
workflows" and "releasing". Currently, Bevy Asset V2 has two "processed"
asset modes `Processed` (assumes assets are already processed) and
`ProcessedDev` (starts an asset processor and processes assets). This
means that the mode must be changed _in code_ when switching from "app
dev" to "release". Very suboptimal.
We have already removed "runtime opt-in" for hot-reloading. Enabling the
`file_watcher` feature _automatically_ enables file watching in code.
This means deploying a game (without hot reloading enabled) just means
calling `cargo build --release` instead of `cargo run --features
bevy/file_watcher`.
We should adopt this pattern for asset processing.
## Solution
This adds the `asset_processor` feature, which will start the
`AssetProcessor` when an `AssetPlugin` runs in `AssetMode::Processed`.
The "asset processing workflow" is now:
1. Enable `AssetMode::Processed` on `AssetPlugin`
2. When developing, run with the `asset_processor` and `file_watcher`
features
3. When releasing, build without these features.
The `AssetMode::ProcessedDev` mode has been removed.
# Objective
I encountered a problem where I had a plugin `FooPlugin` which did
```rust
impl Plugin for FooPlugin {
fn build(&self, app: &mut App) {
app
.register_asset_source(...); // more stuff after
}
}
```
And when I tried using it, e.g.
```rust
asset_server.load("foo://data/asset.custom");
```
I got an error that `foo` was not recognized as a source.
I found that this is because asset sources must be registered _before_
`AssetPlugin` is added, and I had `FooPlugin` _after_.
## Solution
Add clarifying note about having to register sources before
`AssetPlugin` is added.

This PR addresses the issue where Bevy displays one or several black
frames before the scene is first rendered. This is particularly
noticeable on iOS, where the black frames disrupt the transition from
the launch screen to the game UI. I have written about my search to
solve this issue on the Bevy discord:
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1151047604520632352
While I can attest this PR works on both iOS and Linux/Wayland (and even
seems to resolve a slight flicker during startup with the latter as
well), I'm not familiar enough with Bevy to judge the full implications
of these changes. I hope a reviewer or tester can help me confirm
whether this is the right approach, or what might be a cleaner solution
to resolve this issue.
## Solution
I have moved the "startup phase" as well as the plugin finalization into
the `app.run()` function so those things finish synchronously before the
"main schedule" starts. I even move one frame forward as well, using
`app.update()`, to make sure the rendering has caught up with the state
of the finalized plugins as well.
I admit that part of this was achieved through trial-and-error, since
not doing the "startup phase" *before* `app.finish()` resulted in
panics, while not calling an extra `app.update()` didn't fully resolve
the issue.
What I *can* say, is that the iOS launch screen animation works in such
a way that the OS initiates the transition once the framework's
[`didFinishLaunching()`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplicationdelegate/1622921-application)
returns, meaning app developers **must** finish setting up their UI
before that function returns. This is what basically led me on the path
to try to "finish stuff earlier" :)
## Changelog
### Changed
- The startup phase and the first frame are rendered synchronously when
calling `app.run()`, before the "main schedule" is started. This fixes
black frames during the iOS launch transition and possible flickering on
other platforms, but may affect initialization order in your
application.
## Migration Guide
Because of this change, the timing of the first few frames might have
changed, and I think it could be that some things one may expect to be
initialized in a system may no longer be. To be honest, I feel out of my
depth to judge the exact impact here.

allow extending `Material`s (including the built in `StandardMaterial`)
with custom vertex/fragment shaders and additional data, to easily get
pbr lighting with custom modifications, or otherwise extend a base
material.
# Solution
- added `ExtendedMaterial<B: Material, E: MaterialExtension>` which
contains a base material and a user-defined extension.
- added example `extended_material` showing how to use it
- modified AsBindGroup to have "unprepared" functions that return raw
resources / layout entries so that the extended material can combine
them
note: doesn't currently work with array resources, as i can't figure out
how to make the OwnedBindingResource::get_binding() work, as wgpu
requires a `&'a[&'a TextureView]` and i have a `Vec<TextureView>`.
# Migration Guide
manual implementations of `AsBindGroup` will need to be adjusted, the
changes are pretty straightforward and can be seen in the diff for e.g.
the `texture_binding_array` example.

# Objective
deferred doesn't currently run unless one of `DepthPrepass`,
`ForwardPrepass` or `MotionVectorPrepass` is also present on the camera.
## Solution
modify the `queue_prepass_material_meshes` view query to check for any
relevant phase, instead of requiring `Opaque3dPrepass` and
`AlphaMask3dPrepass` to be present
# Objective
- Correct the description of an error type for the scene loader
## Solution
- Correct the description of an error type for the scene loader
# Objective
- This PR aims to make the various `*_PREPASS` shader defs we have
(`NORMAL_PREPASS`, `DEPTH_PREPASS`, `MOTION_VECTORS_PREPASS` AND
`DEFERRED_PREPASS`) easier to use and understand:
- So that their meaning is now consistent across all contexts; (“prepass
X is enabled for the current view”)
- So that they're also consistently set across all contexts.
- It also aims to enable us to (with a follow up PR) to conditionally
gate the `BindGroupEntry` and `BindGroupLayoutEntry` items associated
with these prepasses, saving us up to 4 texture slots in WebGL
(currently globally limited to 16 per shader, regardless of bind groups)
## Solution
- We now consistently set these from `PrepassPipeline`, the
`MeshPipeline` and the `DeferredLightingPipeline`, we also set their
`MeshPipelineKey`s;
- We introduce `PREPASS_PIPELINE`, `MESH_PIPELINE` and
`DEFERRED_LIGHTING_PIPELINE` that can be used to detect where the code
is running, without overloading the meanings of the prepass shader defs;
- We also gate the WGSL functions in `bevy_pbr::prepass_utils` with
`#ifdef`s for their respective shader defs, so that shader code can
provide a fallback whenever they're not available.
- This allows us to conditionally include the bindings for these prepass
textures (My next PR, which will hopefully unblock #8015)
- @robtfm mentioned [these were being used to prevent accessing the same
binding as read/write in the
prepass](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/743663924229963868/1163270458393759814),
however even after reversing the `#ifndef`s I had no issues running the
code, so perhaps the compiler is already smart enough even without tree
shaking to know they're not being used, thanks to `#ifdef
PREPASS_PIPELINE`?

## Changelog
- Cleaned up WGSL `*_PREPASS` shader defs so they're now consistently
used everywhere;
- Introduced `PREPASS_PIPELINE`, `MESH_PIPELINE` and
`DEFERRED_LIGHTING_PIPELINE` WGSL shader defs for conditionally
compiling logic based the current pipeline;
- WGSL functions from `bevy_pbr::prepass_utils` are now guarded with
`#ifdef` based on the currently enabled prepasses;
## Migration Guide
- When using functions from `bevy_pbr::prepass_utils`
(`prepass_depth()`, `prepass_normal()`, `prepass_motion_vector()`) in
contexts where these prepasses might be disabled, you should now wrap
your calls with the appropriate `#ifdef` guards, (`#ifdef
DEPTH_PREPASS`, `#ifdef NORMAL_PREPASS`, `#ifdef MOTION_VECTOR_PREPASS`)
providing fallback logic where applicable.

# Objective
Fixes#10086
## Solution
Instead of serializing via `DynamicTypePath::reflect_type_path`, now
uses the `TypePath` found on the `TypeInfo` returned by
`Reflect::get_represented_type_info`.
This issue was happening because the dynamic types implement `TypePath`
themselves and do not (and cannot) forward their proxy's `TypePath`
data. The solution was to access the proxy's type information in order
to get the correct `TypePath` data.
## Changed
- The `Debug` impl for `TypePathTable` now includes output for all
fields.
# Objective
- Job cargo deny for bans is failing too often to be useful
- Having only one version of all dependencies is not realistic
## Solution
- Only warn on multiple dependencies of a crate
- Deny some specific crates that we know shouldn't be present multiple
time
# Objective
- We should encourage of the simpler to reason about chain.
## Solution
- Use it in the breakout example
---
## Changelog
- Switch breakout to use `chain` instead of `before` and `after`
# Objective
Time clamping happens consistently for apps that load non-trivial
things. While this _is_ an indicator that we should probably try to move
this work to a thread that doesn't block the Update, this is common
enough (and unactionable enough) that I think we should demote it for
now.
```
2023-10-16T18:46:14.918781Z WARN bevy_time::virt: delta time larger than maximum delta, clamping delta to 250ms and skipping 63.649253ms
2023-10-16T18:46:15.178048Z WARN bevy_time::virt: delta time larger than maximum delta, clamping delta to 250ms and skipping 1.71611ms
```
## Solution
Change `warn` to `debug` for this message
# Objective
While pointing someone to the profiling doc, I saw a source link and
thought "hm, I wonder if that link is up-to-date?"
After clicking on it, I realized that it wasn't even attempting to point
to the right line -- probably a good idea since that would be super
prone to breakage.
However, the system being referenced is pub and the docs are on docs.rs,
so we can just link there. This gets the content straight onto the
user's screen.
## Solution
Change source link to docs link
## Note
This is slightly awkward in that the profiling docs themselves aren't
rendered anywhere and just live in the repo. It does feel more correct
to link to in-repo code on the same branch.
# Objective
Closes#10107
The visibility of `bevy::core::update_frame_count` should be `pub` so it
can be used in third-party code like this:
```rust
impl Plugin for MyPlugin {
fn build(&self, app: &mut App) {
app.add_systems(Last, use_frame_count.before(bevy::core::update_frame_count));
}
}
```
## Solution
Make `bevy::core::update_frame_count` public.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Documentation for `bevy::core::update_frame_count`
### Changed
- Visibility of `bevy::core::update_frame_count` is now `pub`
# Objective
- Added support for newer AMD Radeon cards in the mod.rs file located at
``crates/bevy_render/src/view/window/mod.rs``
## Solution
- All I needed to add was ``name.starts_with("Radeon") ||`` to the
existing code on line 347 of
``crates/bevy_render/src/view/window/mod.rs``
---
## Changelog
- Changed ``crates/bevy_render/src/view/window/mod.rs``
# Objective
Current `FixedTime` and `Time` have several problems. This pull aims to
fix many of them at once.
- If there is a longer pause between app updates, time will jump forward
a lot at once and fixed time will iterate on `FixedUpdate` for a large
number of steps. If the pause is merely seconds, then this will just
mean jerkiness and possible unexpected behaviour in gameplay. If the
pause is hours/days as with OS suspend, the game will appear to freeze
until it has caught up with real time.
- If calculating a fixed step takes longer than specified fixed step
period, the game will enter a death spiral where rendering each frame
takes longer and longer due to more and more fixed step updates being
run per frame and the game appears to freeze.
- There is no way to see current fixed step elapsed time inside fixed
steps. In order to track this, the game designer needs to add a custom
system inside `FixedUpdate` that calculates elapsed or step count in a
resource.
- Access to delta time inside fixed step is `FixedStep::period` rather
than `Time::delta`. This, coupled with the issue that `Time::elapsed`
isn't available at all for fixed steps, makes it that time requiring
systems are either implemented to be run in `FixedUpdate` or `Update`,
but rarely work in both.
- Fixes#8800
- Fixes#8543
- Fixes#7439
- Fixes#5692
## Solution
- Create a generic `Time<T>` clock that has no processing logic but
which can be instantiated for multiple usages. This is also exposed for
users to add custom clocks.
- Create three standard clocks, `Time<Real>`, `Time<Virtual>` and
`Time<Fixed>`, all of which contain their individual logic.
- Create one "default" clock, which is just `Time` (or `Time<()>`),
which will be overwritten from `Time<Virtual>` on each update, and
`Time<Fixed>` inside `FixedUpdate` schedule. This way systems that do
not care specifically which time they track can work both in `Update`
and `FixedUpdate` without changes and the behaviour is intuitive.
- Add `max_delta` to virtual time update, which limits how much can be
added to virtual time by a single update. This fixes both the behaviour
after a long freeze, and also the death spiral by limiting how many
fixed timestep iterations there can be per update. Possible future work
could be adding `max_accumulator` to add a sort of "leaky bucket" time
processing to possibly smooth out jumps in time while keeping frame rate
stable.
- Many minor tweaks and clarifications to the time functions and their
documentation.
## Changelog
- `Time::raw_delta()`, `Time::raw_elapsed()` and related methods are
moved to `Time<Real>::delta()` and `Time<Real>::elapsed()` and now match
`Time` API
- `FixedTime` is now `Time<Fixed>` and matches `Time` API.
- `Time<Fixed>` default timestep is now 64 Hz, or 15625 microseconds.
- `Time` inside `FixedUpdate` now reflects fixed timestep time, making
systems portable between `Update ` and `FixedUpdate`.
- `Time::pause()`, `Time::set_relative_speed()` and related methods must
now be called as `Time<Virtual>::pause()` etc.
- There is a new `max_delta` setting in `Time<Virtual>` that limits how
much the clock can jump by a single update. The default value is 0.25
seconds.
- Removed `on_fixed_timer()` condition as `on_timer()` does the right
thing inside `FixedUpdate` now.
## Migration Guide
- Change all `Res<Time>` instances that access `raw_delta()`,
`raw_elapsed()` and related methods to `Res<Time<Real>>` and `delta()`,
`elapsed()`, etc.
- Change access to `period` from `Res<FixedTime>` to `Res<Time<Fixed>>`
and use `delta()`.
- The default timestep has been changed from 60 Hz to 64 Hz. If you wish
to restore the old behaviour, use
`app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_hz(60.0))`.
- Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new(duration))` to
`app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_duration(duration))`
- Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new_from_secs(secs))` to
`app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_seconds(secs))`
- Change `system.on_fixed_timer(duration)` to
`system.on_timer(duration)`. Timers in systems placed in `FixedUpdate`
schedule automatically use the fixed time clock.
- Change `ResMut<Time>` calls to `pause()`, `is_paused()`,
`set_relative_speed()` and related methods to `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>`
calls. The API is the same, with the exception that `relative_speed()`
will return the actual last ste relative speed, while
`effective_relative_speed()` returns 0.0 if the time is paused and
corresponds to the speed that was set when the update for the current
frame started.
## Todo

separately?
- [x] Fix links in docs
