# Objective
This example previously had kind of a needlessly complex state machine
that tracked moves between its previous orientation and the new one that
was randomly generated. Using `smooth_nudge` simplifies the example in
addition to making good use of the new API.
## Solution
Use `smooth_nudge` to transition between the current transform and the
new one. This does away with the need to keep track of the move's
starting position and progress. It also just sort of looks nicer.
## Testing
Run the `align` example:
`cargo run --example align`
# Objective
- Fixes#14873, see that issue for a whole lot of context
## Solution
- Add a blessed system set for this stuff. See [this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749335865876021248/1276262931327094908).
Note that the gizmo systems,
[LWIM](https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/pull/522/files#diff-9b59ee4899ad0a5d008889ea89a124a7291316532e42f9f3d6ae842b906fb095R154)
and now a new plugin I'm working on are all already ordering against
`run_fixed_main_schedule`, so having a dedicated system set should be
more robust and hopefully also more discoverable.

## ~~Showcase~~
~~I can add a little video of a smooth camera later if this gets merged
:)~~
Apparently a release note is not needed, so I'll leave it out. See the
changes in the fixed timestep example for usage showcase and the video
in #14873 for a more or less accurate video of the effect (it does not
use the same solution though, so it is not quite the same)
## Migration Guide
[run_fixed_main_schedule](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/time/fn.run_fixed_main_schedule.html)
is no longer public. If you used to order against it, use the new
dedicated `RunFixedMainLoopSystem` system set instead. You can replace
your usage of `run_fixed_main_schedule` one for one by
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::FixedMainLoop`, but it is now more idiomatic to
place your systems in either
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop` or
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::AfterFixedMainLoop`
Old:
```rust
app.add_systems(
RunFixedMainLoop,
some_system.before(run_fixed_main_schedule)
);
```
New:
```rust
app.add_systems(
RunFixedMainLoop,
some_system.in_set(RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop)
);
```

# Objective
- The goal of this PR is to make it possible to move the density texture
of a `FogVolume` over time in order to create dynamic effects like fog
moving in the wind.
- You could theoretically move the `FogVolume` itself, but this is not
ideal, because the `FogVolume` AABB would eventually leave the area. If
you want an area to remain foggy while also creating the impression that
the fog is moving in the wind, a scrolling density texture is a better
solution.
## Solution
- The PR adds a `density_texture_offset` field to the `FogVolume`
component. This offset is in the UVW coordinates of the density texture,
meaning that a value of `(0.5, 0.0, 0.0)` moves the 3d texture by half
along the x-axis.
- Values above 1.0 are wrapped, a 1.5 offset is the same as a 0.5
offset. This makes it so that the density texture wraps around on the
other side, meaning that a repeating 3d noise texture can seamlessly
scroll forever. It also makes it easy to move the density texture over
time by simply increasing the offset every frame.
## Testing
- A `scrolling_fog` example has been added to demonstrate the feature.
It uses the offset to scroll a repeating 3d noise density texture to
create the impression of fog moving in the wind.
- The camera is looking at a pillar with the sun peaking behind it. This
highlights the effect the changing density has on the volumetric
lighting interactions.
- Temporal anti-aliasing combined with the `jitter` option of
`VolumetricFogSettings` is used to improve the quality of the effect.

I apologize if something is wrong here, this is my first PR to bevy.
# Objective
Fixes#14782
## Solution
Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?
Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.
Fix `mesh2d_manual` example from changes in #13069.

```
# Objective
One of the changes in #14704 made `DynamicFunction` effectively the same
as `DynamicClosure<'static>`. This change meant that the de facto
function type would likely be `DynamicClosure<'static>` instead of the
intended `DynamicFunction`, since the former is much more flexible.
We _could_ explore ways of making `DynamicFunction` implement `Copy`
using some unsafe code, but it likely wouldn't be worth it. And users
would likely still reach for the convenience of
`DynamicClosure<'static>` over the copy-ability of `DynamicFunction`.
The goal of this PR is to fix this confusion between the two types.
## Solution
Firstly, the `DynamicFunction` type was removed. Again, it was no
different than `DynamicClosure<'static>` so it wasn't a huge deal to
remove.
Secondly, `DynamicClosure<'env>` and `DynamicClosureMut<'env>` were
renamed to `DynamicFunction<'env>` and `DynamicFunctionMut<'env>`,
respectively.
Yes, we still ultimately kept the naming of `DynamicFunction`, but
changed its behavior to that of `DynamicClosure<'env>`. We need a term
to refer to both functions and closures, and "function" was the best
option.
[Originally](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274091992162242710),
I was going to go with "callable" as the replacement term to encompass
both functions and closures (e.g. `DynamciCallable<'env>`). However, it
was
[suggested](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274653581777047625)
by @SkiFire13 that the simpler "function" term could be used instead.
While "callable" is perhaps the better umbrella term—being truly
ambiguous over functions and closures— "function" is more familiar, used
more often, easier to discover, and is subjectively just
"better-sounding".
## Testing
Most changes are purely swapping type names or updating documentation,
but you can verify everything still works by running the following

# Objective
- Bevy now supports an opaque phase for mesh2d, but it's very common for
2d textures to have a transparent alpha channel.
## Solution
- Add an alpha mask phase identical to the one in 3d. It will do the
alpha masking in the shader before drawing the mesh.
- Uses the BinnedRenderPhase
- Since it's an opaque draw it also correctly writes to depth
## Testing
- Tested the mes2d_alpha_mode example and the bevymark example with
alpha mask mode enabled
---
## Showcase
The white logo on the right is rendered with alpha mask enabled.
Running the bevymark example I can get 65fps for 120k mesh2d all using
alpha mask.

# Objective
- Wireframe plugins have inconsistencies between 3D and 2D versions.
This PR addresses the following
- 2d version uses `Srgba` for colors, 3d version uses `Color`.
## Solution
- This PR brings consistency by doing the following change
- `Wireframe2d` now uses `Color` instead of `Srgba`
## Testing
- `wireframe_2d` and `wireframe` examples were verified and they work as
before.
---
## Migration Guide
- `Wireframe2dConfig`.`default_color` type is now `Color` instead of
`Srgba`. Use `.into()` to convert between them.
- `Wireframe2dColor`.`color` type is now `Color` instead of `Srgba`. Use
`.into()` to convert between them.
# Objective
- Implements the [Unique Reflect
RFC](https://github.com/nicopap/rfcs/blob/bevy-reflect-api/rfcs/56-better-reflect.md).
## Solution
- Implements the RFC.
- This implementation differs in some ways from the RFC:
- In the RFC, it was suggested `Reflect: Any` but `PartialReflect:
?Any`. During initial implementation I tried this, but we assume the
`PartialReflect: 'static` in a lot of places and the changes required
crept out of the scope of this PR.
- `PartialReflect::try_into_reflect` originally returned `Option<Box<dyn
Reflect>>` but i changed this to `Result<Box<dyn Reflect>, Box<dyn
PartialReflect>>` since the method takes by value and otherwise there
would be no way to recover the type. `as_full` and `as_full_mut` both
still return `Option<&(mut) dyn Reflect>`.
---
## Changelog
- Added `PartialReflect`.
- `Reflect` is now a subtrait of `PartialReflect`.
- Moved most methods on `Reflect` to the new `PartialReflect`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect}`.
- Added `PartialReflect::{try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}`.
- Added `<dyn PartialReflect>::{try_downcast_ref, try_downcast_mut,
try_downcast, try_take}` supplementing the methods on `dyn Reflect`.
## Migration Guide
- Most instances of `dyn Reflect` should be changed to `dyn
PartialReflect` which is less restrictive, however trait bounds should
generally stay as `T: Reflect`.
- The new `PartialReflect::{as_partial_reflect, as_partial_reflect_mut,
into_partial_reflect, try_as_reflect, try_as_reflect_mut,
try_into_reflect}` methods as well as `Reflect::{as_reflect,
as_reflect_mut, into_reflect}` will need to be implemented for manual
implementors of `Reflect`.
## Future Work
- This PR is designed to be followed up by another "Unique Reflect Phase
2" that addresses the following points:
- Investigate making serialization revolve around `Reflect` instead of
`PartialReflect`.
- [Remove the `try_*` methods on `dyn PartialReflect` since they are
stop
gaps](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7207#discussion_r1083476050).
- Investigate usages like `ReflectComponent`. In the places they
currently use `PartialReflect`, should they be changed to use `Reflect`?
- Merging this opens the door to lots of reflection features we haven't
been able to implement.
- We could re-add [the `Reflectable`
trait](8e3488c880/crates/bevy_reflect/src/reflect.rs (L337-L342))
and make `FromReflect` a requirement to improve [`FromReflect`
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/59). This is
currently not possible because dynamic types cannot sensibly be
`FromReflect`.
- Since this is an alternative to #5772, #5781 would be made cleaner.

# Objective
- Add custom images as cursors
- Fixes#9557
## Solution
- Change cursor type to accommodate both native and image cursors
- I don't really like this solution because I couldn't use
`Handle<Image>` directly. I would need to import `bevy_assets` and that
causes a circular dependency. Alternatively we could use winit's
`CustomCursor` smart pointers, but that seems hard because the event
loop is needed to create those and is not easily accessable for users.
So now I need to copy around rgba buffers which is sad.
- I use a cache because especially on the web creating cursor images is
really slow
- Sorry to #14196 for yoinking, I just wanted to make a quick solution
for myself and thought that I should probably share it too.
Update:
- Now uses `Handle<Image>`, reads rgba data in `bevy_render` and uses
resources to send the data to `bevy_winit`, where the final cursors are
created.
## Testing
- Added example which works fine at least on Linux Wayland (winit side
has been tested with all platforms).
- I haven't tested if the url cursor works.
## Migration Guide
- `CursorIcon` is no longer a field in `Window`, but a separate
component can be inserted to a window entity. It has been changed to an
enum that can hold custom images in addition to system icons.
- `Cursor` is renamed to `CursorOptions` and `cursor` field of `Window`
is renamed to `cursor_options`
- `CursorIcon` is renamed to `SystemCursorIcon`

# Objective
The `dynamic_types` example was missing a reference to the newly added

`IntoIterator for &DynamicSet`.

### TL;DR
#14098 added the `FunctionRegistry` but had some last minute
complications due to anonymous functions. It ended up going with a
"required name" approach to ensure anonymous functions would always have
a name.
However, this approach isn't ideal for named functions since, by
definition, they will always have a name.
Therefore, this PR aims to modify function reflection such that we can
make function registration easier for named functions, while still
allowing anonymous functions to be registered as well.
### Context
Function registration (#14098) ran into a little problem: anonymous
functions.
Anonymous functions, including function pointers, have very non-unique
type names. For example, the anonymous function `|a: i32, b: i32| a + b`
has the type name of `fn(i32, i32) -> i32`. This obviously means we'd
conflict with another function like `|a: i32, b: i32| a - b`.
The solution that #14098 landed on was to always require a name during
function registration.
The downside with this is that named functions (e.g. `fn add(a: i32, b:
i32) -> i32 { a + b }`) had to redundantly provide a name. Additionally,
manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s also ran into this ergonomics
issue.
I don't entirely know how the function registry will be used, but I have
a strong suspicion that most of its registrations will either be named
functions or manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s, with anonymous
functions only being used here and there for quick prototyping or adding
small functionality.
Why then should the API prioritize the anonymous function use case by
always requiring a name during registration?
#### Telling Functions Apart
Rust doesn't provide a lot of out-of-the-box tools for reflecting
functions. One of the biggest hurdles in attempting to solve the problem
outlined above would be to somehow tell the different kinds of functions
apart.
Let's briefly recap on the categories of functions in Rust:
| Category | Example |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Named function | `fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b }` |
| Closure | `\|a: i32\| a + captured_variable` |
| Anonymous function | `\|a: i32, b: i32\| a + b` |
| Function pointer | `fn(i32, i32) -> i32` |
My first thought was to try and differentiate these categories based on
their size. However, we can see that this doesn't quite work:
| Category | `size_of` |
| ------------------ | --------- |
| Named function | 0 |
| Closure | 0+ |
| Anonymous function | 0 |
| Function pointer | 8 |
Not only does this not tell anonymous functions from named ones, but it
struggles with pretty much all of them.
My second then was to differentiate based on type name:
| Category | `type_name` |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Named function | `foo::bar::baz` |
| Closure | `foo::bar::{{closure}}` |
| Anonymous function | `fn() -> String` |
| Function pointer | `fn() -> String` |
This is much better. While it can't distinguish between function
pointers and anonymous functions, this doesn't matter too much since we
only care about whether we can _name_ the function.
So why didn't we implement this in #14098?
#### Relying on `type_name`
While this solution was known about while working on #14098, it was left
out from that PR due to it being potentially controversial.
The [docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/any/fn.type_name.html)
for `std::any::type_name` state:
> The returned string must not be considered to be a unique identifier
of a type as multiple types may map to the same type name. Similarly,
there is no guarantee that all parts of a type will appear in the
returned string: for example, lifetime specifiers are currently not
included. In addition, the output may change between versions of the
compiler.
So that's it then? We can't use `type_name`?
Well, this statement isn't so much a rule as it is a guideline. And Bevy
is no stranger to bending the rules to make things work or to improve
ergonomics. Remember that before `TypePath`, Bevy's scene system was
entirely dependent on `type_name`. Not to mention that `type_name` is
being used as a key into both the `TypeRegistry` and the
`FunctionRegistry`.
Bevy's practices aside, can we reliably use `type_name` for this?
My answer would be "yes".
Anonymous functions are anonymous. They have no name. There's nothing
Rust could do to give them a name apart from generating a random string
of characters. But remember that this is a diagnostic tool, it doesn't
make sense to obfuscate the type by randomizing the output. So changing
it to be anything other than what it is now is very unlikely.
The only changes that I could potentially see happening are:
1. Closures replace `{{closure}}` with the name of their variable
2. Lifetimes are included in the output
I don't think the first is likely to happen, but if it does then it
actually works out in our favor: closures are now named!
The second point is probably the likeliest. However, adding lifetimes
doesn't mean we can't still rely on `type_name` to determine whether or
not a function is named. So we should be okay in this case as well.
## Solution
Parse the `type_name` of the function in the `TypedFunction` impl to
determine if the function is named or anonymous.
This once again makes `FunctionInfo::name` optional. For manual
constructions of `DynamicFunction`, `FunctionInfo::named` or
``FunctionInfo::anonymous` can be used.
The `FunctionRegistry` API has also been reworked to account for this
change.
`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer takes a name and instead takes it
from the supplied function, returning a
`FunctionRegistrationError::MissingName` error if the name is `None`.
This also doubles as a replacement for the old
`FunctionRegistry::register_dynamic` method, which has been removed.
To handle anonymous functions, a `FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`
method has been added. This works in the same way
`FunctionRegistry::register` used to work before this PR.
The overwriting methods have been updated in a similar manner, with
modifications to `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration`, the removal
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_dynamic`, and the addition
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_with_name`.
This PR also updates the methods on `App` in a similar way:
`App::register_function` no longer requires a name argument and
`App::register_function_with_name` has been added to handle anonymous
functions (and eventually closures).
## Testing
You can run the tests locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --features functions
```

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
> [!note]
> This list is not exhaustive. It only contains some of the most
important changes.
`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer requires a name string for named
functions. Anonymous functions, however, need to be registered using
`FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`.
```rust
// BEFORE
registry
.register(std::any::type_name_of_val(&foo), foo)?
.register("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
// AFTER
registry
.register(foo)?
.register_with_name("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
```
`FunctionInfo::name` is now optional. Anonymous functions and closures
will now have their name set to `None` by default. Additionally,
`FunctionInfo::new` has been renamed to `FunctionInfo::named`.
This PR is based on top of #12982
# Objective
- Mesh2d currently only has an alpha blended phase. Most sprites don't
need transparency though.
- For some 2d games it can be useful to have a 2d depth buffer
## Solution
- Add an opaque phase to render Mesh2d that don't need transparency
- This phase currently uses the `SortedRenderPhase` to make it easier to
implement based on the already existing transparent phase. A follow up
PR will switch this to `BinnedRenderPhase`.
- Add a 2d depth buffer
- Use that depth buffer in the transparent phase to make sure that
sprites and transparent mesh2d are displayed correctly
## Testing
I added the mesh2d_transforms example that layers many opaque and
transparent mesh2d to make sure they all get displayed correctly. I also
confirmed it works with sprites by modifying that example locally.
---
## Changelog
- Added `AlphaMode2d`
- Added `Opaque2d` render phase
- Camera2d now have a `ViewDepthTexture` component
## Migration Guide
- `ColorMaterial` now contains `AlphaMode2d`. To keep previous
behaviour, use `AlphaMode::BLEND`. If you know your sprite is opaque,
use `AlphaMode::OPAQUE`

## Migration Guide
- `WindowMode` variants now take a `MonitorSelection`, which can be set
to `MonitorSelection::Primary` to mirror the old behavior.

# Objective
#13152 added support for reflecting functions. Now, we need a way to
register those functions such that they may be accessed anywhere within
the ECS.
## Solution
Added a `FunctionRegistry` type similar to `TypeRegistry`.
This allows a function to be registered and retrieved by name.
```rust
fn foo() -> i32 {
123
}
let mut registry = FunctionRegistry::default();
registry.register("my_function", foo);
let function = registry.get_mut("my_function").unwrap();
let value = function.call(ArgList::new()).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&123));
```
Additionally, I added an `AppFunctionRegistry` resource which wraps a
`FunctionRegistryArc`. Functions can be registered into this resource
using `App::register_function` or by getting a mutable reference to the
resource itself.
### Limitations
#### `Send + Sync`
In order to get this registry to work across threads, it needs to be
`Send + Sync`. This means that `DynamicFunction` needs to be `Send +
Sync`, which means that its internal function also needs to be `Send +
Sync`.
In most cases, this won't be an issue because standard Rust functions
(the type most likely to be registered) are always `Send + Sync`.
Additionally, closures tend to be `Send + Sync` as well, granted they
don't capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables.
This PR adds this `Send + Sync` requirement, but as mentioned above, it
hopefully shouldn't be too big of an issue.
#### Closures
Unfortunately, closures can't be registered yet. This will likely be
explored and added in a followup PR.
### Future Work
Besides addressing the limitations listed above, another thing we could
look into is improving the lookup of registered functions. One aspect is
in the performance of hashing strings. The other is in the developer
experience of having to call `std::any::type_name_of_val` to get the
name of their function (assuming they didn't give it a custom name).
## Testing
You can run the tests locally with:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```

## Changelog
- Added `FunctionRegistry`
- Added `AppFunctionRegistry` (a `Resource` available from `bevy_ecs`)
- Added `FunctionRegistryArc`
- Added `FunctionRegistrationError`
- Added `reflect_functions` feature to `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`
- `FunctionInfo` is no longer `Default`
- `DynamicFunction` now requires its wrapped function be `Send + Sync`
## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
`DynamicFunction` (both those created manually and those created with
`IntoFunction`), now require `Send + Sync`. All standard Rust functions
should meet that requirement. Closures, on the other hand, may not if
they capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables from its environment.
# Objective
- Fixes#14595
## Solution
- Use `num_cascades: 1` in WebGL build.
`CascadeShadowConfigBuilder::default()` gives this number in WebGL:

## Testing

# Objective
This idea came up in the context of a hypothetical "text sections as
entities" where text sections are children of a text bundle.
```rust
commands
.spawn(TextBundle::default())
.with_children(|parent} {
parent.spawn(TextSection::from("Hello"));
});
```
This is a bit cumbersome (but powerful and probably the way things are
headed). [`bsn!`](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
will eventually make this nicer, but in the mean time, this might
improve ergonomics for the common case where there is only one
`TextSection`.
## Solution
Add a `with_child` method to the `BuildChildren` trait that spawns a
single bundle and adds it as a child to the entity.
```rust
commands
.spawn(TextBundle::default())
.with_child(TextSection::from("Hello"));
```
## Testing
I added some tests, and modified the `button` example to use the new
method.
If any potential co-authors want to improve the tests, that would be
great.
## Alternatives
- Some sort of macro. See
https://github.com/tigregalis/bevy_spans_ent/blob/main/examples/macro.rs#L20.
I don't love this, personally, and it would probably be obsoleted by
`bsn!`.
- Wait for `bsn!`
- Add `with_children_batch` that takes an `Into<Iterator>` of bundles.
```rust
with_children_batch(vec![TextSection::from("Hello")])
```
This is maybe not as useful as it sounds -- it only works with
homogeneous bundles, so no marker components or styles.
- If this doesn't seem valuable, doing nothing is cool with me.
# Objective
- A lot of mid-level rendering apis are hard to figure out because they
don't have any examples
- SpecializedMeshPipeline can be really useful in some cases when you
want more flexibility than a Material without having to go to low level
apis.
## Solution
- Add an example showing how to make a custom `SpecializedMeshPipeline`.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?

# Objective
- Make it possible to know *what* changed your component or resource.
- Common need when debugging, when you want to know the last code
location that mutated a value in the ECS.
- This feature would be very useful for the editor alongside system
stepping.
## Solution
- Adds the caller location to column data.
- Mutations now `track_caller` all the way up to the public API.
- Commands that invoke these functions immediately call
`Location::caller`, and pass this into the functions, instead of the
functions themselves attempting to get the caller. This would not work
for commands which are deferred, as the commands are executed by the
scheduler, not the user's code.
## Testing
- The `component_change_detection` example now shows where the component
was mutated:
```
2024-07-28T06:57:48.946022Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(0.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.004371Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(1.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.012738Z WARN component_change_detection: Change detected!
-> value: Ref(MyComponent(1.0))
-> added: false
-> changed: true
-> changed by: examples/ecs/component_change_detection.rs:36:23
```
- It's also possible to inspect change location from a debugger:

## Changelog
- Added source locations to ECS change detection behind the
`track_change_detection` flag.
## Migration Guide
- Added `changed_by` field to many internal ECS functions used with
change detection when the `track_change_detection` feature flag is
enabled. Use Location::caller() to provide the source of the function
call.

Use the new `AccumulatedMouseMotion` and `AccumulatedMouseScroll`

# Objective
Previously, this area of bevy_math used raw translation and rotations to
encode isometries, which did not exist earlier. The goal of this PR is
to make the codebase of bevy_math more harmonious by using actual
isometries (`Isometry2d`/`Isometry3d`) in these places instead — this
will hopefully make the interfaces more digestible for end-users, in
addition to facilitating conversions.
For instance, together with the addition of #14478, this means that a
bounding box for a collider with an isometric `Transform` can be
computed as
```rust
collider.aabb_3d(collider_transform.to_isometry())
```
instead of using manual destructuring.
## Solution
- The traits `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` now use `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` (respectively) instead of `translation` and `rotation`
parameters; e.g.:
```rust
/// A trait with methods that return 3D bounding volumes for a shape.
pub trait Bounded3d {
/// Get an axis-aligned bounding box for the shape translated and
rotated by the given isometry.
fn aabb_3d(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> Aabb3d;
/// Get a bounding sphere for the shape translated and rotated by the
given isometry.
fn bounding_sphere(&self, isometry: Isometry3d) -> BoundingSphere;
}
```
- Similarly, the `from_point_cloud` constructors for axis-aligned
bounding boxes and bounding circles/spheres now take isometries instead
of separate `translation` and `rotation`; e.g.:
```rust
/// Computes the smallest [`Aabb3d`] containing the given set of points,
/// transformed by the rotation and translation of the given isometry.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Panics if the given set of points is empty.
#[inline(always)]
pub fn from_point_cloud(
isometry: Isometry3d,
points: impl Iterator<Item = impl Into<Vec3A>>,
) -> Aabb3d { //... }
```
This has a couple additional results:
1. The end-user no longer interacts directly with `Into<Vec3A>` or
`Into<Rot2>` parameters; these conversions all happen earlier now,
inside the isometry types.
2. Similarly, almost all intermediate `Vec3 -> Vec3A` conversions have
been eliminated from the `Bounded3d` implementations for primitives.
This probably has some performance benefit, but I have not measured it
as of now.
## Testing
Existing unit tests help ensure that nothing has been broken in the
refactor.
---
## Migration Guide
The `Bounded2d` and `Bounded3d` traits now take `Isometry2d` and
`Isometry3d` parameters (respectively) instead of separate translation
and rotation arguments. Existing calls to `aabb_2d`, `bounding_circle`,
`aabb_3d`, and `bounding_sphere` will have to be changed to use
isometries instead. A straightforward conversion is to refactor just by
calling `Isometry2d/3d::new`, as follows:
```rust
// Old:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(my_translation, my_rotation);
// New:
let aabb = my_shape.aabb_2d(Isometry2d::new(my_translation, my_rotation));
```
However, if the old translation and rotation are 3d
translation/rotations originating from a `Transform` or
`GlobalTransform`, then `to_isometry` may be used instead. For example:
```rust
// Old:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.translation, shape_transform.rotation);
// New:
let bounding_sphere = my_shape.bounding_sphere(shape_transform.to_isometry());
```
This discussion also applies to the `from_point_cloud` construction
method of `Aabb2d`/`BoundingCircle`/`Aabb3d`/`BoundingSphere`, which has
similarly been altered to use isometries.
# Objective
Previously, our cubic spline constructors would produce
`CubicCurve`/`RationalCurve` output with no data when they themselves
didn't hold enough control points to produce a well-formed curve.
Attempting to sample the resulting empty "curves" (e.g. by calling
`CubicCurve::position`) would crash the program (😓).
The objectives of this PR are:
1. Ensure that the curve output of `bevy_math`'s spline constructions
are never invalid as data.
2. Provide a type-level guarantee that `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve`
actually function as curves.
## Solution
This has a few pieces. Firstly, the curve generator traits
`CubicGenerator`, `CyclicCubicGenerator`, and `RationalGenerator` are
now fallible — they have associated error types, and the
curve-generation functions are allowed to fail:
```rust
/// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cubic curve from their spline parameters.
pub trait CubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> {
/// An error type indicating why construction might fail.
type Error;
/// Build a [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment.
fn to_curve(&self) -> Result<CubicCurve<P>, Self::Error>;
}
```
All existing spline constructions use this together with errors that
indicate when they didn't have the right control data and provide curves
which have at least one segment whenever they return an `Ok` variant.
Next, `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` have been blessed with a
guarantee that their internal array of segments (`segments`) is never
empty. In particular, this field is no longer public, so that invalid
curves cannot be built using struct instantiation syntax. To compensate
for this shortfall for users (in particular library authors who might
want to implement their own generators), there is a new method
`from_segments` on these for constructing a curve from a list of
segments, failing if the list is empty:
```rust
/// Create a new curve from a collection of segments. If the collection of segments is empty,
/// a curve cannot be built and `None` will be returned instead.
pub fn from_segments(segments: impl Into<Vec<CubicSegment<P>>>) -> Option<Self> { //... }
```
All existing methods on `CyclicCurve` and `CubicCurve` maintain the
invariant, so the direct construction of invalid values by users is
impossible.
## Testing
Run unit tests from `bevy_math::cubic_splines`. Additionally, run the
`cubic_splines` example and try to get it to crash using small numbers
of control points: it uses the fallible constructors directly, so if
invalid data is ever constructed, it is basically guaranteed to crash.
---
## Migration Guide
The `to_curve` method on Bevy's cubic splines is now fallible (returning
a `Result`), meaning that any existing calls will need to be updated by
handling the possibility of an error variant.
Similarly, any custom implementation of `CubicGenerator` or
`RationalGenerator` will need to be amended to include an `Error` type
and be made fallible itself.
Finally, the fields of `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` are now private,
so any direct constructions of these structs from segments will need to
be replaced with the new `CubicCurve::from_segments` and
`RationalCurve::from_segments` methods.
---
## Design
The main thing to justify here is the choice for the curve internals to
remain the same. After all, if they were able to cause crashes in the
first place, it's worth wondering why safeguards weren't put in place on
the types themselves to prevent that.
My view on this is that the problem was really that the internals of
these methods implicitly relied on the assumption that the value they
were operating on was *actually a curve*, when this wasn't actually
guaranteed. Now, it's possible to make a bunch of small changes inside
the curve struct methods to account for that, but I think that's worse
than just guaranteeing that the data is valid upstream — sampling is
about as hot a code path as we're going to get in this area, and hitting
an additional branch every time it happens just to check that the struct
contains valid data is probably a waste of resources.
Another way of phrasing this is that even if we're only interested in
solving the crashes, the curve's validity needs to be checked at some
point, and it's almost certainly better to do this once at the point of
construction than every time the curve is sampled.
In cases where the control data is supplied dynamically, users would
already have to deal with empty curve outputs basically not working.
Anecdotally, I ran into this while writing the `cubic_splines` example,
and I think the diff illustrates the improvement pretty nicely — the
code no longer has to anticipate whether the output will be good or not;
it just has to handle the `Result`.
The cost of all this, of course, is that we have to guarantee that the
new invariant is actually maintained whenever we extend the API.
However, for the most part, I don't expect users to want to do much
surgery on the internals of their curves anyway.
# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.

# Objective
I just wanted to inspect `HashSet`s in `bevy-inspector-egui` but I
noticed that it didn't work for some reason. A few minutes later I found
myself looking into the bevy reflect impls noticing that `HashSet`s have
been covered only rudimentary up until now.
## Solution
I'm not sure if this is overkill (especially the first bullet), but
here's a list of the changes:
- created a whole new trait and enum variants for `ReflectRef` and the
like called `Set`
- mostly oriented myself at the `Map` trait and made the necessary
changes until RA was happy
- create macro `impl_reflect_for_hashset!` and call it on `std::HashSet`
and `hashbrown::HashSet`
Extra notes:
- no `get_mut` or `get_mut_at` mirroring the `std::HashSet`
- `insert[_boxed]` and `remove` return `bool` mirroring `std::HashSet`,
additionally that bool is reflect as I thought that would be how we
handle things in bevy reflect, but I'm not sure on this
- ser/de are handled via `SeqAccess`
- I'm not sure about the general deduplication property of this impl of
`Set` that is generally expected? I'm also not sure yet if `Map` does
provide this. This mainly refers to the `Dynamic[...]` structs
- I'm not sure if there are other methods missing from the `trait`, I
felt like `contains` or the set-operations (union/diff/...) could've
been helpful, but I wanted to get out the bare minimum for feedback
first
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `Set` trait for `bevy_reflect`
### Changed
- `std::collections::HashSet` and `bevy_utils::hashbrown::HashSet` now
implement a more complete set of reflect functionalities instead of
"just" `reflect_value`
- `TypeInfo` contains a new variant `Set` that contains `SetInfo`
- `ReflectKind` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectRef` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectMut` contains a new variant `Set`
- `ReflectOwned` contains a new variant `Set`
## Migration Guide
- The new `Set` variants on the enums listed in the change section
should probably be considered by people working with this level of the
lib
### Help wanted!
I'm not sure if this change is able to break code. From my understanding
it shouldn't since we just add functionality but I'm not sure yet if
theres anything missing from my impl that would be normally provided by
`impl_reflect_value!`
# Objective
- It's possible to have errors in a draw command, but these errors are
ignored
## Solution
- Return a result with the error
## Changelog
Renamed `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to `RenderCommandResult::Skip`
Added a `reason` string parameter to `RenderCommandResult::Failure`
## Migration Guide
If you were using `RenderCommandResult::Failure` to just ignore an error
and retry later, use `RenderCommandResult::Skip` instead.
This wasn't intentional, but this PR should also help with
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12660 since we can turn a few
unwraps into error messages now.

# Objective
When the user renders multiple cameras to the same output texture, it
can sometimes be confusing what `ClearColorConfig` is necessary for each
camera to avoid overwriting the previous camera's output. This is
particular true in cases where the user uses mixed HDR cameras, which
means that their scene is being rendered to different internal textures.

upscaling node so we don't overwrite areas that were written to by other
cameras.

- Since we have added a new filed to the `EnvironmentMapLight` struct,
users will need to include `..default()` or some rotation value in their
initialization code.
# Objective
Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing
users to easily build cyclic curves from control data.
## Solution
Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new
`CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses
splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its
signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic`
just yields a `CubicCurve`:
```rust
/// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters.
///
/// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically.
pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> {
/// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment.
fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>;
}
```
This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`,
`CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`:

(Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as
green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.)
These curves are all parametrized so that the output of `to_curve` and
the output of `to_curve_cyclic` are similar. For instance, in
`CubicCardinalSpline`, the first output segment is a curve segment
joining the first and second control points in each, although it is
constructed differently. In the other cases, the segments from
`to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new
segments appearing at the end.
## Testing
I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked
reasonable. Existing tests are intact for splines where previous code
was modified. (Note that the coefficient computation for cyclic spline
segments is almost verbatim identical to that of their non-cyclic
counterparts.)
The Bezier benchmarks also look fine.
---
## Changelog
- Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for
creating cyclic curves from control data.
- Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`,
`CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`.
- `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`.
---
## Discussion
### Design decisions
The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place:
namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old
structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase
discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed
unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating
something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data
is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end
result for the user is basically the same either way.
Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic`
to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in
the future may be useful. See below.
A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not
implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled —
`CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its
end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In
all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here,
the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows
the semantics of the associated spline construction.
### Future direction
There are two main things here:
1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for
NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I
regarded this as out of scope for the PR.
2. We may eventually want to change the output type of
`CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the
cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because
I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually
has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic
curves, this might be worth pursuing.
This commit uses the [`offset-allocator`] crate to combine vertex and
index arrays from different meshes into single buffers. Since the
primary source of `wgpu` overhead is from validation and synchronization
when switching buffers, this significantly improves Bevy's rendering
performance on many scenes.
This patch is a more flexible version of #13218, which also used slabs.
Unlike #13218, which used slabs of a fixed size, this commit implements
slabs that start small and can grow. In addition to reducing memory
usage, supporting slab growth reduces the number of vertex and index
buffer switches that need to happen during rendering, leading to
improved performance. To prevent pathological fragmentation behavior,
slabs are capped to a maximum size, and mesh arrays that are too large
get their own dedicated slabs.
As an additional improvement over #13218, this commit allows the
application to customize all allocator heuristics. The
`MeshAllocatorSettings` resource contains values that adjust the minimum
and maximum slab sizes, the cutoff point at which meshes get their own
dedicated slabs, and the rate at which slabs grow. Hopefully-sensible
defaults have been chosen for each value.
Unfortunately, WebGL 2 doesn't support the *base vertex* feature, which
is necessary to pack vertex arrays from different meshes into the same
buffer. `wgpu` represents this restriction as the downlevel flag
`BASE_VERTEX`. This patch detects that bit and ensures that all vertex
buffers get dedicated slabs on that platform. Even on WebGL 2, though,
we can combine all *index* arrays into single buffers to reduce buffer
changes, and we do so.
The following measurements are on Bistro:
Overall frame time improves from 8.74 ms to 5.53 ms (1.58x speedup):
Render system time improves from 6.57 ms to 3.54 ms (1.86x speedup):
Opaque pass time improves from 4.64 ms to 2.33 ms (1.99x speedup):
## Migration Guide
### Changed
* Vertex and index buffers for meshes may now be packed alongside other
buffers, for performance.
* `GpuMesh` has been renamed to `RenderMesh`, to reflect the fact that
it no longer directly stores handles to GPU objects.
* Because meshes no longer have their own vertex and index buffers, the
responsibility for the buffers has moved from `GpuMesh` (now called
`RenderMesh`) to the `MeshAllocator` resource. To access the vertex data
for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_vertex_slice`. To access the index
data for a mesh, use `MeshAllocator::mesh_index_slice`.
