# Objective
- Make cubic splines more flexible and more performant
- Remove the existing spline implementation that is generic over many degrees
- This is a potential performance footgun and adds type complexity for negligible gain.
- Add implementations of:
- Bezier splines
- Cardinal splines (inc. Catmull-Rom)
- B-Splines
- Hermite splines

## Solution
- Implements the concept that splines are curve generators (e.g. https://youtu.be/jvPPXbo87ds?t=3488) via the `CubicGenerator` trait.
- Common splines are bespoke data types that implement this trait. This gives us flexibility to add custom spline-specific methods on these types, while ultimately all generating a `CubicCurve`.
- All splines generate `CubicCurve`s, which are a chain of precomputed polynomial coefficients. This means that all splines have the same evaluation cost, as the calculations for determining position, velocity, and acceleration are all identical. In addition, `CubicCurve`s are simply a list of `CubicSegment`s, which are evaluated from t=0 to t=1. This also means cubic splines of different type can be chained together, as ultimately they all are simply a collection of `CubicSegment`s.
- Because easing is an operation on a singe segment of a Bezier curve, we can simply implement easing on `Beziers` that use the `Vec2` type for points. Higher level crates such as `bevy_ui` can wrap this in a more ergonomic interface as needed.
### Performance
Measured on a desktop i5 8600K (6-year-old CPU):
- easing: 2.7x faster (19ns)
- cubic vec2 position sample: 1.5x faster (1.8ns)
- cubic vec3 position sample: 1.5x faster (2.6ns)
- cubic vec3a position sample: 1.9x faster (1.4ns)
On a laptop i7 11800H:
- easing: 16ns
- cubic vec2 position sample: 1.6ns
- cubic vec3 position sample: 2.3ns
- cubic vec3a position sample: 1.2ns

## Changelog
- Added a generic cubic curve trait, and implementation for Cardinal splines (including Catmull-Rom), B-Splines, Beziers, and Hermite Splines. 2D cubic curve segments also implement easing functionality for animation.
# Objective
- Adds foundational math for Bezier curves, useful for UI/2D/3D animation and smooth paths.

## Solution
- Adds the generic `Bezier` type, and a `Point` trait. The `Point` trait allows us to use control points of any dimension, as long as they support vector math. I've implemented it for `f32`(1D), `Vec2`(2D), and `Vec3`/`Vec3A`(3D).
- Adds `CubicBezierEasing` on top of `Bezier` with the addition of an implementation of cubic Bezier easing, which is a foundational tool for UI animation.
- This involves solving for $t$ in the parametric Bezier function $B(t)$ using the Newton-Raphson method to find a value with error $\leq$ 1e-7, capped at 8 iterations.
- Added type aliases for common Bezier curves: `CubicBezier2d`, `CubicBezier3d`, `QuadraticBezier2d`, and `QuadraticBezier3d`. These types use `Vec3A` to represent control points, as this was found to have an 80-90% speedup over using `Vec3`.
- Benchmarking shows quadratic/cubic Bezier evaluations $B(t)$ take \~1.8/2.4ns respectively. Easing, which requires an iterative solve takes \~50ns for cubic Beziers.
---
## Changelog
- Added `CubicBezier2d`, `CubicBezier3d`, `QuadraticBezier2d`, and `QuadraticBezier3d` types with methods for sampling position, velocity, and acceleration. The generic `Bezier` type is also available, and generic over any degree of Bezier curve.
- Added `CubicBezierEasing`, with additional methods to allow for smooth easing animations.
This reverts commit 53d387f340.
# Objective
Reverts #6448. This didn't have the intended effect: we're now getting bevy::prelude shown in the docs again.

# Objective
- Right now re-exports are completely hidden in prelude docs.
- Fixes#6433
## Solution
- We could show the re-exports without inlining their documentation.
# Objective
Fixes#6378
`bevy_transform` is missing a feature corresponding to the `serialize` feature on the `bevy` crate.
## Solution
Adds a `serialize` feature to `bevy_transform`.
Derives `serde::Serialize` and `Deserialize` when feature is enabled.
# Objective
Add a method for getting a world space ray from a viewport position.
Opted to add a `Ray` type to `bevy_math` instead of returning a tuple of `Vec3`'s as this is clearer and easier to document
The docs on `viewport_to_world` are okay, but I'm not super happy with them.
## Changelog
* Add `Camera::viewport_to_world`
* Add `Camera::ndc_to_world`
* Add `Ray` to `bevy_math`
* Some doc tweaks

# Objective
Promote the `Rect` utility of `sprite::Rect`, which defines a rectangle
by its minimum and maximum corners, to the `bevy_math` crate to make it
available as a general math type to all crates without the need to
depend on the `bevy_sprite` crate.
Fixes#5575
## Solution
Move `sprite::Rect` into `bevy_math` and fix all uses.
Implement `Reflect` for `Rect` directly into the `bevy_reflect` crate by
having `bevy_reflect` depend on `bevy_math`. This looks like a new
dependency, but the `bevy_reflect` was "cheating" for other math types
by directly depending on `glam` to reflect other math types, thereby
giving the illusion that there was no dependency on `bevy_math`. In
practice conceptually Bevy's math types are reflected into the
`bevy_reflect` crate to avoid a dependency of that crate to a "lower
level" utility crate like `bevy_math` (which in turn would make
`bevy_reflect` be a dependency of most other crates, and increase the
risk of circular dependencies). So this change simply formalizes that
dependency in `Cargo.toml`.
The `Rect` struct is also augmented in this change with a collection of
utility methods to improve its usability. A few uses cases are updated
to use those new methods, resulting is more clear and concise syntax.
---
## Changelog
### Changed
- Moved the `sprite::Rect` type into `bevy_math`.
### Added
- Added several utility methods to the `math::Rect` type.
## Migration Guide
The `bevy::sprite::Rect` type moved to the math utility crate as
`bevy::math::Rect`. You should change your imports from `use
bevy::sprite::Rect` to `use bevy::math::Rect`.
Export and register a missing type from `glam`.
Reflect impls were already present, but not registered.

# Objective
- Closes#335.
- Related #4285.
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Move `Rect` to `bevy_ui` and rename it to `UiRect`.
## Reasons
- `Rect` is only used in `bevy_ui` and therefore calling it `UiRect` makes the intent clearer.
- We have two types that are called `Rect` currently and it's missleading (see `bevy_sprite::Rect` and #335).
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Rect` type got moved from `bevy_math` to `bevy_ui` and renamed to `UiRect`.
## Migration Guide
- The `Rect` type got renamed to `UiRect`. To migrate you just have to change every occurrence of `Rect` to `UiRect`.

# Objective
- Related #4276.
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Move `Size` to `bevy_ui`.
## Reasons
- `Size` is only needed in `bevy_ui` (because it needs to use `Val` instead of `f32`), but it's also used as a worse `Vec2` replacement in other areas.
- `Vec2` is more powerful than `Size` so it should be used whenever possible.
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Changed
- The `Size` type got moved from `bevy_math` to `bevy_ui`.
## Migration Guide
- The `Size` type got moved from `bevy::math` to `bevy::ui`. To migrate you just have to import `bevy::ui::Size` instead of `bevy::math::Math` or use the `bevy::prelude` instead.

# Objective
- Part of the splitting process of #3503.
## Solution
- Remove the `face_toward.rs` file containing the `FaceToward` trait.
## Reasons
- It is unused inside of `bevy`.
- The method `Mat4::face_toward` of the trait is identical to `Mat4::look_at_rh` (see https://docs.rs/glam/latest/glam/f32/struct.Mat4.html#method.look_at_rh).
- Discussion in #3503.
## Changelog
### Removed
- The `FaceToward` trait got removed.
## Migration Guide
- The `FaceToward` trait got removed. To migrate you just have to change every occurrence of `Mat4::face_toward` to `Mat4::look_at_rh`.
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.
This is an effort to provide the correct `#[reflect_value(...)]` attributes where they are needed.
Supersedes #1533 and resolves#1528.
---
I am working under the following assumptions (thanks to @bjorn3 and @Davier for advice here):
- Any `enum` that derives `Reflect` and one or more of { `Serialize`, `Deserialize`, `PartialEq`, `Hash` } needs a `#[reflect_value(...)]` attribute containing the same subset of { `Serialize`, `Deserialize`, `PartialEq`, `Hash` } that is present on the derive.
- Same as above for `struct` and `#[reflect(...)]`, respectively.
- If a `struct` is used as a component, it should also have `#[reflect(Component)]`
- All reflected types should be registered in their plugins
I treated the following as components (added `#[reflect(Component)]` if necessary):
- `bevy_render`
- `struct RenderLayers`
- `bevy_transform`
- `struct GlobalTransform`
- `struct Parent`
- `struct Transform`
- `bevy_ui`
- `struct Style`
Not treated as components:
- `bevy_math`
- `struct Size<T>`
- `struct Rect<T>`
- Note: The updates for `Size<T>` and `Rect<T>` in `bevy::math::geometry` required using @Davier's suggestion to add `+ PartialEq` to the trait bound. I then registered the specific types used over in `bevy_ui` such as `Size<Val>`, etc. in `bevy_ui`'s plugin, since `bevy::math` does not contain a plugin.
- `bevy_render`
- `struct Color`
- `struct PipelineSpecialization`
- `struct ShaderSpecialization`
- `enum PrimitiveTopology`
- `enum IndexFormat`
Not Addressed:
- I am not searching for components in Bevy that are _not_ reflected. So if there are components that are not reflected that should be reflected, that will need to be figured out in another PR.
- I only added `#[reflect(...)]` or `#[reflect_value(...)]` entries for the set of four traits { `Serialize`, `Deserialize`, `PartialEq`, `Hash` } _if they were derived via `#[derive(...)]`_. I did not look for manual trait implementations of the same set of four, nor did I consider any traits outside the four. Are those other possibilities something that needs to be looked into?
* Remove cfg!(feature = "metal-auto-capture")
This cfg! has existed since the initial commit, but the corresponding
feature has never been part of Cargo.toml
* Remove unnecessary handle_create_window_events call
* Remove EventLoopProxyPtr wrapper
* Remove unnecessary statics
* Fix unrelated deprecation warning to fix CI
