# Objective
This PR extends and reworks the material from #15282 by allowing
arbitrary curves to be used by the animation system to animate arbitrary
properties. The goals of this work are to:
- Allow far greater flexibility in how animations are allowed to be
defined in order to be used with `bevy_animation`.
- Delegate responsibility over keyframe interpolation to `bevy_math` and
the `Curve` libraries and reduce reliance on keyframes in animation
definitions generally.
- Move away from allowing the glTF spec to completely define animations
on a mechanical level.
## Solution
### Overview
At a high level, curves have been incorporated into the animation system
using the `AnimationCurve` trait (closely related to what was
`Keyframes`). From the top down:
1. In `animate_targets`, animations are driven by `VariableCurve`, which
is now a thin wrapper around a `Box<dyn AnimationCurve>`.
2. `AnimationCurve` is something built out of a `Curve`, and it tells
the animation system how to use the curve's output to actually mutate
component properties. The trait looks like this:
```rust
/// A low-level trait that provides control over how curves are actually applied to entities
/// by the animation system.
///
/// Typically, this will not need to be implemented manually, since it is automatically
/// implemented by [`AnimatableCurve`] and other curves used by the animation system
/// (e.g. those that animate parts of transforms or morph weights). However, this can be
/// implemented manually when `AnimatableCurve` is not sufficiently expressive.
///
/// In many respects, this behaves like a type-erased form of [`Curve`], where the output
/// type of the curve is remembered only in the components that are mutated in the
/// implementation of [`apply`].
///
/// [`apply`]: AnimationCurve::apply
pub trait AnimationCurve: Reflect + Debug + Send + Sync {
/// Returns a boxed clone of this value.
fn clone_value(&self) -> Box<dyn AnimationCurve>;
/// The range of times for which this animation is defined.
fn domain(&self) -> Interval;
/// Write the value of sampling this curve at time `t` into `transform` or `entity`,
/// as appropriate, interpolating between the existing value and the sampled value
/// using the given `weight`.
fn apply<'a>(
&self,
t: f32,
transform: Option<Mut<'a, Transform>>,
entity: EntityMutExcept<'a, (Transform, AnimationPlayer, Handle<AnimationGraph>)>,
weight: f32,
) -> Result<(), AnimationEvaluationError>;
}
```
3. The conversion process from a `Curve` to an `AnimationCurve` involves
using wrappers which communicate the intent to animate a particular
property. For example, here is `TranslationCurve`, which wraps a
`Curve<Vec3>` and uses it to animate `Transform::translation`:
```rust
/// This type allows a curve valued in `Vec3` to become an [`AnimationCurve`] that animates
/// the translation component of a transform.
pub struct TranslationCurve<C>(pub C);
```
### Animatable Properties
The `AnimatableProperty` trait survives in the transition, and it can be
used to allow curves to animate arbitrary component properties. The
updated documentation for `AnimatableProperty` explains this process:
<details>
<summary>Expand AnimatableProperty example</summary
An `AnimatableProperty` is a value on a component that Bevy can animate.
You can implement this trait on a unit struct in order to support
animating
custom components other than transforms and morph weights. Use that type
in
conjunction with `AnimatableCurve` (and perhaps
`AnimatableKeyframeCurve`
to define the animation itself). For example, in order to animate font
size of a
text section from 24 pt. to 80 pt., you might use:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;
impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
type Component = Text;
type Property = f32;
fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut Self::Property> {
Some(&mut component.sections.get_mut(0)?.style.font_size)
}
}
```
You can then create an `AnimationClip` to animate this property like so:
```rust
let mut animation_clip = AnimationClip::default();
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new(
[
(0.0, 24.0),
(1.0, 80.0),
]
)
.map(AnimatableCurve::<FontSizeProperty, _>::from_curve)
.expect("Failed to create font size curve")
);
```
Here, the use of `AnimatableKeyframeCurve` creates a curve out of the
given keyframe time-value
pairs, using the `Animatable` implementation of `f32` to interpolate
between them. The
invocation of `AnimatableCurve::from_curve` with `FontSizeProperty`
indicates that the `f32`
output from that curve is to be used to animate the font size of a
`Text` component (as
configured above).
</details>
### glTF Loading
glTF animations are now loaded into `Curve` types of various kinds,
depending on what is being animated and what interpolation mode is being
used. Those types get wrapped into and converted into `Box<dyn
AnimationCurve>` and shoved inside of a `VariableCurve` just like
everybody else.
### Morph Weights
There is an `IterableCurve` abstraction which allows sampling these from
a contiguous buffer without allocating. Its only reason for existing is
that Rust disallows you from naming function types, otherwise we would
just use `Curve` with an iterator output type. (The iterator involves
`Map`, and the name of the function type would have to be able to be
named, but it is not.)
A `WeightsCurve` adaptor turns an `IterableCurve` into an
`AnimationCurve`, so it behaves like everything else in that regard.
## Testing
Tested by running existing animation examples. Interpolation logic has
had additional tests added within the `Curve` API to replace the tests
in `bevy_animation`. Some kinds of out-of-bounds errors have become
impossible.
Performance testing on `many_foxes` (`animate_targets`) suggests that
performance is very similar to the existing implementation. Here are a
couple trace histograms across different runs (yellow is this branch,
red is main).

## Migration Guide
Most user code that does not directly deal with `AnimationClip` and
`VariableCurve` will not need to be changed. On the other hand,
`VariableCurve` has been completely overhauled. If you were previously
defining animation curves in code using keyframes, you will need to
migrate that code to use curve constructors instead. For example, a
rotation animation defined using keyframes and added to an animation
clip like this:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
VariableCurve {
keyframe_timestamps: vec![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
keyframes: Keyframes::Rotation(vec![
Quat::IDENTITY,
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 3.),
Quat::IDENTITY,
]),
interpolation: Interpolation::Linear,
},
);
```
would now be added like this:
```rust
animation_clip.add_curve_to_target(
animation_target_id,
AnimatableKeyframeCurve::new([0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0].into_iter().zip([
Quat::IDENTITY,
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 2.),
Quat::from_axis_angle(Vec3::Y, PI / 2. * 3.),
Quat::IDENTITY,
]))
.map(RotationCurve)
.expect("Failed to build rotation curve"),
);
```
Note that the interface of `AnimationClip::add_curve_to_target` has also
changed (as this example shows, if subtly), and now takes its curve
input as an `impl AnimationCurve`. If you need to add a `VariableCurve`
directly, a new method `add_variable_curve_to_target` accommodates that
(and serves as a one-to-one migration in this regard).
### For reviewers
The diff is pretty big, and the structure of some of the changes might
not be super-obvious:
- `keyframes.rs` became `animation_curves.rs`, and `AnimationCurve` is
based heavily on `Keyframes`, with the adaptors also largely following
suite.
- The Curve API adaptor structs were moved from `bevy_math::curve::mod`
into their own module `adaptors`. There are no functional changes to how
these adaptors work; this is just to make room for the specialized
reflection implementations since `mod.rs` was getting kind of cramped.
- The new module `gltf_curves` holds the additional curve constructions
that are needed by the glTF loader. Note that the loader uses a mix of
these and off-the-shelf `bevy_math` curve stuff.
- `animatable.rs` no longer holds logic related to keyframe
interpolation, which is now delegated to the existing abstractions in
`bevy_math::curve::cores`.

# Objective
- Provide a generic and _reflectable_ way to iterate over contained
entities
## Solution
Adds two new traits:
* `VisitEntities`: Reflectable iteration, accepts a closure rather than
producing an iterator. Implemented by default for `IntoIterator`
implementing types. A proc macro is also provided.
* A `Mut` variant of the above. Its derive macro uses the same field
attribute to avoid repetition.
## Testing
Added a test for `VisitEntities` that also transitively tests its derive
macro as well as the default `MapEntities` impl.
# Objective
Improve the performance of animation.
`animate_targets` only does work for entities with a `AnimationTarget`
component, but the query it uses has no filters and matches all
archetypes, resulting in extra work checking and ignoring every other
entity in the world.
In addition, it uses `EntityMutExcept::get`, which has to look up the
`ComponentId` for `AnimationTarget` each time it's used.
Fixes#15412
## Solution
Instead of `entity_mut.get::<AnimationTarget>()`, add `&AnimationTarget`
to the query and read it directly. This requires adding
`AnimationTarget` to the list of exceptions in the `EntityMutExcept`.
Since the resulting type is getting long, add an alias for it.
This does mean that `AnimationTarget` is no longer available through
`entity`, which means it's not possible to animate the `AnimationTarget`
component itself.
## Testing
I ran performance traces of many_foxes comparing this branch to main.
Red is main, yellow is these changes:
# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

Currently, Bevy restricts animation clips to animating
`Transform::translation`, `Transform::rotation`, `Transform::scale`, or
`MorphWeights`, which correspond to the properties that glTF can
animate. This is insufficient for many use cases such as animating UI,
as the UI layout systems expect to have exclusive control over UI
elements' `Transform`s and therefore the `Style` properties must be
animated instead.
This commit fixes this, allowing for `AnimationClip`s to animate
arbitrary properties. The `Keyframes` structure has been turned into a
low-level trait that can be implemented to achieve arbitrary animation
behavior. Along with `Keyframes`, this patch adds a higher-level trait,
`AnimatableProperty`, that simplifies the task of animating single
interpolable properties. Built-in `Keyframes` implementations exist for
translation, rotation, scale, and morph weights. For the most part, you
can migrate by simply changing your code from
`Keyframes::Translation(...)` to `TranslationKeyframes(...)`, and
likewise for rotation, scale, and morph weights.
An example `AnimatableProperty` implementation for the font size of a
text section follows:
#[derive(Reflect)]
struct FontSizeProperty;
impl AnimatableProperty for FontSizeProperty {
type Component = Text;
type Property = f32;
fn get_mut(component: &mut Self::Component) -> Option<&mut
Self::Property> {
Some(&mut component.sections.get_mut(0)?.style.font_size)
}
}
In order to keep this patch relatively small, this patch doesn't include
an implementation of `AnimatableProperty` on top of the reflection
system. That can be a follow-up.
This patch builds on top of the new `EntityMutExcept<>` type in order to
widen the `AnimationTarget` query to include write access to all
components. Because `EntityMutExcept<>` has some performance overhead
over an explicit query, we continue to explicitly query `Transform` in
order to avoid regressing the performance of skeletal animation, such as
the `many_foxes` benchmark. I've measured the performance of that
benchmark and have found no significant regressions.
A new example, `animated_ui`, has been added. This example shows how to
use Bevy's built-in animation infrastructure to animate font size and
color, which wasn't possible before this patch.

## Migration Guide
* Animation keyframes are now an extensible trait, not an enum. Replace
`Keyframes::Translation(...)`, `Keyframes::Scale(...)`,
`Keyframes::Rotation(...)`, and `Keyframes::Weights(...)` with
`Box::new(TranslationKeyframes(...))`, `Box::new(ScaleKeyframes(...))`,
`Box::new(RotationKeyframes(...))`, and
`Box::new(MorphWeightsKeyframes(...))` respectively.

# Objective
- Crate-level prelude modules, such as `bevy_ecs::prelude`, are plagued
with inconsistency! Let's fix it!
## Solution
Format all preludes based on the following rules:
1. All preludes should have brief documentation in the format of:
> The _name_ prelude.
>
> This includes the most common types in this crate, re-exported for
your convenience.
2. All documentation should be outer, not inner. (`///` instead of
`//!`.)
3. No prelude modules should be annotated with `#[doc(hidden)]`. (Items
within them may, though I'm not sure why this was done.)
## Testing
- I manually searched for the term `mod prelude` and updated all
occurrences by hand. 🫠

# Objective
As discussed in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/7386, system
order ambiguities within `DefaultPlugins` are a source of bugs in the
engine and badly pollute diagnostic output for users.
We should eliminate them!
This PR is an alternative to #15027: with all external ambiguities
silenced, this should be much less prone to merge conflicts and the test
output should be much easier for authors to understand.
Note that system order ambiguities are still permitted in the
`RenderApp`: these need a bit of thought in terms of how to test them,
and will be fairly involved to fix. While these aren't *good*, they'll
generally only cause graphical bugs, not logic ones.
## Solution
All remaining system order ambiguities have been resolved.
Review this PR commit-by-commit to see how each of these problems were
fixed.
## Testing
`cargo run --example ambiguity_detection` passes with no panics or
logging!
This commit adds support for *masks* to the animation graph. A mask is a
set of animation targets (bones) that neither a node nor its descendants
are allowed to animate. Animation targets can be assigned one or more
*mask group*s, which are specific to a single graph. If a node masks out
any mask group that an animation target belongs to, animation curves for
that target will be ignored during evaluation.
The canonical use case for masks is to support characters holding
objects. Typically, character animations will contain hand animations in
the case that the character's hand is empty. (For example, running
animations may close a character's fingers into a fist.) However, when
the character is holding an object, the animation must be altered so
that the hand grips the object.
Bevy currently has no convenient way to handle this. The only workaround
that I can see is to have entirely separate animation clips for
characters' hands and bodies and keep them in sync, which is burdensome
and doesn't match artists' expectations from other engines, which all
effectively have support for masks. However, with mask group support,
this task is simple. We assign each hand to a mask group and parent all
character animations to a node. When a character grasps an object in
hand, we position the fingers as appropriate and then enable the mask
group for that hand in that node. This allows the character's animations
to run normally, while the object remains correctly attached to the
hand.
Note that even with this PR, we won't have support for running separate
animations for a character's hand and the rest of the character. This is
because we're missing additive blending: there's no way to combine the
two masked animations together properly. I intend that to be a follow-up
PR.
The major engines all have support for masks, though the workflow varies
from engine to engine:
* Unity has support for masks [essentially as implemented here], though
with layers instead of a tree. However, when using the Mecanim
("Humanoid") feature, precise control over bones is lost in favor of
predefined muscle groups.
* Unreal has a feature named [*layered blend per bone*]. This allows for
separate blend weights for different bones, effectively achieving masks.
I believe that the combination of blend nodes and masks make Bevy's
animation graph as expressible as that of Unreal, once we have support
for additive blending, though you may have to use more nodes than you
would in Unreal. Moreover, separating out the concepts of "blend weight"
and "which bones this node applies to" seems like a cleaner design than
what Unreal has.
* Godot's `AnimationTree` has the notion of [*blend filters*], which are
essentially the same as masks as implemented in this PR.
Additionally, this patch fixes a bug with weight evaluation whereby
weights weren't properly propagated down to grandchildren, because the
weight evaluation for a node only checked its parent's weight, not its
evaluated weight. I considered submitting this as a separate PR, but
given that this PR refactors that code entirely to support masks and
weights under a unified "evaluated node" concept, I simply included the
fix here.
A new example, `animation_masks`, has been added. It demonstrates how to
toggle masks on and off for specific portions of a skin.
This is part of #14395, but I'm going to defer closing that issue until
we have additive blending.
[essentially as implemented here]:

[*blend filters*]:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/animation/animation_tree.html
## Migration Guide
* The serialized format of animation graphs has changed with the
addition of animation masks. To upgrade animation graph RON files, add
`mask` and `mask_groups` fields as appropriate. (They can be safely set
to zero.)
# Objective
* Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14889

Exposes `bevy_animation::{animatable, graph, transition}` to the world.

# Objective
Add a convenience constructor to make simple animation graphs easier to
build.
I've had some notes about attempting this since #11989 that I just
remembered after seeing #14852.
This partially addresses #14852, but I don't really know animation well
enough to write all of the documentation it's asking for.
## Solution
Add `AnimationGraph::from_clips` and use it to simplify `animated_fox`.
Do some other little bits of incidental cleanup and documentation .
## Testing
I ran `cargo run --example animated_fox`.
# Objective
fix#14742
## Solution
the issue arises because "finished" animations (where current time >=
last keyframe time) are not applied at all.
when transitioning from a finished animation to another later-indexed
anim, the transition kind-of works because the finished anim is skipped,
then the new anim is applied with a lower weight (weight / total_weight)
when transitioning from a finished animation to another earlier-indexed
anim, the transition is instant as the new anim is applied with 1.0 (as
weight == total_weight for the first applied), then the finished
animation is skipped.
to fix this we can always apply every animation based on the nearest 2
keyframes, and clamp the interpolation between them to [0,1].
pros:
- finished animations can be transitioned out of correctly
- blended animations where some curves have a last-keyframe before the
end of the animation will blend properly
- animations will actually finish on their last keyframe, rather than a
fraction of a render-frame before the end
cons:
- we have to re-apply finished animations every frame whether it's
necessary or not. i can't see a way to avoid this.
# Objective
While scrolling through the animation crate, I was confused by the docs
and code for the two methods. One does nothing for resetting an
animation, the other just resets the weights for whatever reason.
## Solution
Made the functions work accordingly to their documentation.
`start` now replays the animation.
And `play` doesn't reset the weight anymore. I have no clue why it
should. `play` is there to don't do anything to an already existing
animation.
## Testing
I tested the current 0.14 code with bevy playground in the Animated Fox
exampled and changed it such that on pressing space, either `play` or
`start` would be called. Neither changed anything.
I then inlined the function for start there and it restarted the
animation, so it should work.

## Migration Guide
`AnimationPlayer::start` now correspondingly to its docs restarts a
running animation.

function.

Some use cases might require holding onto the previous state of the

Minimize the number of dependencies low in the tree.
## Solution
* Remove the dependency on rustc-hash in bevy_ecs (not used) and
bevy_macro_utils (only used in one spot).
* Deduplicate the dependency on `sha1_smol` with the existing blake3
dependency already being used for bevy_asset.
* Remove the unused `ron` dependency on `bevy_app`
* Make the `serde` dependency for `bevy_ecs` optional. It's only used
for serializing Entity.
* Change the `wgpu` dependency to `wgpu-types`, and make it optional for
`bevy_color`.
* Remove the unused `thread-local` dependency on `bevy_render`.
* Make multiple dependencies for `bevy_tasks` optional and enabled only
when running with the `multi-threaded` feature. Preferably they'd be
disabled all the time on wasm, but I couldn't find a clean way to do
this.

# Objective
Resolves#3824. `unsafe` code should be the exception, not the norm in
Rust. It's obviously needed for various use cases as it's interfacing
with platforms and essentially running the borrow checker at runtime in
the ECS, but the touted benefits of Bevy is that we are able to heavily
leverage Rust's safety, and we should be holding ourselves accountable
to that by minimizing our unsafe footprint.
## Solution
Deny `unsafe_code` workspace wide. Add explicit exceptions for the
following crates, and forbid it in almost all of the others.
* bevy_ecs - Obvious given how much unsafe is needed to achieve
performant results
* bevy_ptr - Works with raw pointers, even more low level than bevy_ecs.
* bevy_render - due to needing to integrate with wgpu
* bevy_window - due to needing to integrate with raw_window_handle
* bevy_utils - Several unsafe utilities used by bevy_ecs. Ideally moved
into bevy_ecs instead of made publicly usable.
* bevy_reflect - Required for the unsafe type casting it's doing.
* bevy_transform - for the parallel transform propagation
* bevy_gizmos - For the SystemParam impls it has.
* bevy_assets - To support reflection. Might not be required, not 100%
sure yet.
* bevy_mikktspace - due to being a conversion from a C library. Pending
safe rewrite.
* bevy_dynamic_plugin - Inherently unsafe due to the dynamic loading
nature.
Several uses of unsafe were rewritten, as they did not need to be using
them:
* bevy_text - a case of `Option::unchecked` could be rewritten as a
normal for loop and match instead of an iterator.
* bevy_color - the Pod/Zeroable implementations were replaceable with
bytemuck's derive macros.
# Objective
Currently the built docs only shows the logo and favicon for the top
level `bevy` crate. This makes views like
https://docs.rs/bevy_ecs/latest/bevy_ecs/ look potentially unrelated to
the project at first glance.
## Solution
Reproduce the docs attributes for every crate that Bevy publishes.
Ideally this would be done with some workspace level Cargo.toml control,
but AFAICT, such support does not exist.
This is an implementation of RFC #51:
https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/51-animation-composition.md
Note that the implementation strategy is different from the one outlined
in that RFC, because two-phase animation has now landed.
# Objective
Bevy needs animation blending. The RFC for this is [RFC 51].
## Solution
This is an implementation of the RFC. Note that the implementation
strategy is different from the one outlined there, because two-phase
animation has now landed.
This is just a draft to get the conversation started. Currently we're
missing a few things:
- [x] A fully-fleshed-out mechanism for transitions
- [x] A serialization format for `AnimationGraph`s
- [x] Examples are broken, other than `animated_fox`
- [x] Documentation
---
## Changelog
### Added
* The `AnimationPlayer` has been reworked to support blending multiple
animations together through an `AnimationGraph`, and as such will no
longer function unless a `Handle<AnimationGraph>` has been added to the
entity containing the player. See [RFC 51] for more details.
* Transition functionality has moved from the `AnimationPlayer` to a new
component, `AnimationTransitions`, which works in tandem with the
`AnimationGraph`.
## Migration Guide
* `AnimationPlayer`s can no longer play animations by themselves and
need to be paired with a `Handle<AnimationGraph>`. Code that was using
`AnimationPlayer` to play animations will need to create an
`AnimationGraph` asset first, add a node for the clip (or clips) you
want to play, and then supply the index of that node to the
`AnimationPlayer`'s `play` method.
* The `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()` method has been removed
and replaced with the `AnimationTransitions` component. If you were
previously using `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()`, add all
animations that you were playing to the `AnimationGraph`, and create an
`AnimationTransitions` component to manage the blending between them.

# Objective
Make bevy_utils less of a compilation bottleneck. Tackle #11478.
## Solution
* Move all of the directly reexported dependencies and move them to
where they're actually used.
* Remove the UUID utilities that have gone unused since `TypePath` took
over for `TypeUuid`.
* There was also a extraneous bytemuck dependency on `bevy_core` that
has not been used for a long time (since `encase` became the primary way
to prepare GPU buffers).
* Remove the `all_tuples` macro reexport from bevy_ecs since it's
accessible from `bevy_utils`.

## Changelog
Removed: Many of the reexports from bevy_utils (petgraph, uuid, nonmax,
smallvec, and thiserror).
Removed: bevy_core's reexports of bytemuck.
## Migration Guide
bevy_utils' reexports of petgraph, uuid, nonmax, smallvec, and thiserror
have been removed.
bevy_core' reexports of bytemuck's types has been removed.
Add them as dependencies in your own crate instead.
# Objective
Fix#12304. Remove unnecessary type registrations thanks to #4154.
## Solution
Conservatively remove type registrations. Keeping the top level
components, resources, and events, but dropping everything else that is
a type of a member of those types.
# Objective
Fixes#11298. Make the use of bevy_log vs bevy_utils::tracing more
consistent.
## Solution
Replace all uses of bevy_log's logging macros with the reexport from
bevy_utils. Remove bevy_log as a dependency where it's no longer needed
anymore.
Ideally we should just be using tracing directly, but given that all of
these crates are already using bevy_utils, this likely isn't that great
of a loss right now.
# Objective
Bevy's animation system currently does tree traversals based on `Name`
that aren't necessary. Not only do they require in unsafe code because
tree traversals are awkward with parallelism, but they are also somewhat
slow, brittle, and complex, which manifested itself as way too many
queries in #11670.
# Solution
Divide animation into two phases: animation *advancement* and animation
*evaluation*, which run after one another. *Advancement* operates on the
`AnimationPlayer` and sets the current animation time to match the game
time. *Evaluation* operates on all animation bones in the scene in
parallel and sets the transforms and/or morph weights based on the time
and the clip.
To do this, we introduce a new component, `AnimationTarget`, which the
asset loader places on every bone. It contains the ID of the entity
containing the `AnimationPlayer`, as well as a UUID that identifies
which bone in the animation the target corresponds to. In the case of
glTF, the UUID is derived from the full path name to the bone. The rule
that `AnimationTarget`s are descendants of the entity containing
`AnimationPlayer` is now just a convention, not a requirement; this
allows us to eliminate the unsafe code.
# Migration guide
* `AnimationClip` now uses UUIDs instead of hierarchical paths based on
the `Name` component to refer to bones. This has several consequences:
- A new component, `AnimationTarget`, should be placed on each bone that
you wish to animate, in order to specify its UUID and the associated
`AnimationPlayer`. The glTF loader automatically creates these
components as necessary, so most uses of glTF rigs shouldn't need to
change.
- Moving a bone around the tree, or renaming it, no longer prevents an
`AnimationPlayer` from affecting it.
- Dynamically changing the `AnimationPlayer` component will likely
require manual updating of the `AnimationTarget` components.
* Entities with `AnimationPlayer` components may now possess descendants
that also have `AnimationPlayer` components. They may not, however,
animate the same bones.
* As they aren't specific to `TypeId`s,
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpTypeIdHash` and
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpTypeIdHasher` have been renamed to
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpHash` and
`bevy_reflect::utility::NoOpHasher` respectively.
# Objective
- There are multiple instances of `let Some(x) = ... else { None };`
throughout the project.
- Because `Option<T>` implements
[`Try`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ops/trait.Try.html), it can
use the question mark `?` operator.
## Solution
- Use question mark operator instead of `let Some(x) = ... else { None
}`.
---
There was another PR that did a similar thing a few weeks ago, but I
couldn't find it.
# Objective
Currently the `missing_docs` lint is allowed-by-default and enabled at
crate level when their documentations is complete (see #3492).
This PR proposes to inverse this logic by making `missing_docs`
warn-by-default and mark crates with imcomplete docs allowed.
## Solution
Makes `missing_docs` warn at workspace level and allowed at crate level
when the docs is imcomplete.
# Objective
Allow animation of types other than translation, scale, and rotation on
`Transforms`.
## Solution
Add a base trait for all values that can be animated by the animation
system. This provides the basic operations for sampling and blending
animation values for more than just translation, rotation, and scale.
This implements part of bevyengine/rfcs#51, but is missing the
implementations for `Range<T>` and `Color`. This also does not fully
integrate with the existing `AnimationPlayer` yet, just setting up the
trait.

# Objective
- Address a `TODO` item in `bevy_animation`.
## Solution
- Replace the `cubic_spline_interpolation` macro with a function.
The function isn't marked as `#[inline(always)]` but from what I checked
with `cargo asm` it gets inlined (even in debug, unless I explicitly add
`#[inline(never)]`), so this should be identical to the macro. If needed
I can add the attribute.
Not always, but skip it if the new length is smaller.
For context, `path_cache` is a `Vec<Vec<Option<Entity>>>`.
# Objective
Previously, when setting a new length to the `path_cache`, we would:
1. Deallocate all existing `Vec<Option<Entity>>`
2. Deallocate the `path_cache`
3. Allocate a new `Vec<Vec<Option<Entity>>>`, where each item is an
empty `Vec`, and would have to be allocated when pushed to.
This is a lot of allocations!
## Solution
Use
[`Vec::resize_with`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#method.resize_with).
With this change, what occurs is:
1. We `clear` each `Vec<Option<Entity>>`, keeping the allocation, but
making the memory of each `Vec` re-usable
2. We only append new `Vec` to `path_cache` when it is too small.
* Fixes#11328
### Note on performance
I didn't benchmark it, I just ran a diff on the generated assembly (ran
with `--profile stress-test` and `--native`). I found this PR has 20
less instructions in `apply_animation` (out of 2504).
Though on a purely abstract level, I can deduce this leads to less
allocation.
More information on profiling allocations in rust:
https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/heap-allocations.html
## Future work
I think a [jagged vec](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagged_array) would
be much more pertinent. Because it allocates everything in a single
contiguous buffer.
This would avoid dancing around allocations, and reduces the overhead of
one `*mut T` and two `usize` per row, also removes indirection,
improving cache efficiency. I think it would both improve code quality
and performance.
# Objective
While working on #10832, I found this code very dense and hard to
understand.
I was not confident in my fix (or the correctness of the existing code).
## Solution
Clean up, test and document the code used in the `apply_animation`
system.
I also added a pair of length-related utility methods to `Keyframes` for
easier testing. They seemed generically useful, so I made them pub.
## Changelog
- Added `VariableCurve::find_current_keyframe` method.
- Added `Keyframes::len` and `is_empty` methods.

Update to `glam` 0.25, `encase` 0.7 and `hexasphere` to 10.0
## Changelog
Added the `FloatExt` trait to the `bevy_math` prelude which adds `lerp`,
`inverse_lerp` and `remap` methods to the `f32` and `f64` types.
# Objective
The documentation for `AnimationPlayer::play` mentions a non-existent
`transition_duration` argument from an old iteration of the API. It's
confusing.
## Solution
Remove the offending sentence.
# Objective
Enables warning on `clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks` across the
workspace rather than only in `bevy_ecs`, `bevy_transform` and
`bevy_utils`. This adds a little awkwardness in a few areas of code that
have trivial safety or explain safety for multiple unsafe blocks with
one comment however automatically prevents these comments from being
missed.
## Solution
This adds `undocumented_unsafe_blocks = "warn"` to the workspace
`Cargo.toml` and fixes / adds a few missed safety comments. I also added
`#[allow(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]` where the safety is
explained somewhere above.
There are a couple of safety comments I added I'm not 100% sure about in
`bevy_animation` and `bevy_render/src/view` and I'm not sure about the
use of `#[allow(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]` compared to adding
comments like `// SAFETY: See above`.
# Objective
- Fix adding `#![allow(clippy::type_complexity)]` everywhere. like #9796
## Solution
- Use the new [lints] table that will land in 1.74
(https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#lints)
- inherit lint to the workspace, crates and examples.
```
[lints]
workspace = true
```
## Changelog
- Bump rust version to 1.74
- Enable lints table for the workspace
```toml
[workspace.lints.clippy]
type_complexity = "allow"
```
- Allow type complexity for all crates and examples
```toml
[lints]
workspace = true
```

# Objective
After #9002, it seems that "single shot" animations were broken. When
completing, they would reset to their initial value. Which is generally
not what you want.
- Fixes#10480
## Solution
Avoid `%`-ing the animation after the number of completions exceeds the
specified one. Instead, we early-return. This is also true when the
player is playing in reverse.
---
## Changelog
- Avoid resetting animations after `Repeat::Never` animation completion.
# Objective
`Has<T>` was added to bevy_ecs, but we're still using the
`Option<With<T>>` pattern in multiple locations.
## Solution
Replace them with `Has<T>`.
# Objective
Fixes: #9898
## Solution
Make morph behave like other keyframes, lerping first between start and
end, and then between the current state and the result.
## Changelog
Fixed jerky morph targets
