This represents when the user has configured `ClearColorConfig::None` in
their application. If the clear color is `None`, we will always `Load`
instead of attempting to clear the attachment on the first call.
Fixes#11883.
# Objective
The new render graph labels do not (and cannot) implement normal
Reflect, which breaks spawning scenes with cameras (including GLTF
scenes). Likewise, the new `CameraMainTextureUsages` also does not (and
cannot) implement normal Reflect because it uses `wgpu::TextureUsages`
under the hood.
Fixes#11852
## Solution
This implements minimal "reflect value" for `CameraRenderGraph` and
`CameraMainTextureUsages` and registers the types, which satisfies our
spawn logic.
Note that this _does not_ fix scene serialization for these types, which
will require more significant changes. We will especially need to think
about how (and if) "interned labels" will fit into the scene system. For
the purposes of 0.13, I think this is the best we can do. Given that
this serialization issue is prevalent throughout Bevy atm, I'm ok with
adding a couple more to the pile. When we roll out the new scene system,
we will be forced to solve these on a case-by-case basis.
---
## Changelog
- Implement Reflect (value) for `CameraMainTextureUsages` and
`CameraRenderGraph`, and register those types.
# Objective
#10644 introduced nice "statically typed" labels that replace the old
strings. I would like to propose some changes to the names introduced:
* `SubGraph2d` -> `Core2d` and `SubGraph3d` -> `Core3d`. The names of
these graphs have been / should continue to be the "core 2d" graph not
the "sub graph 2d" graph. The crate is called `bevy_core_pipeline`, the
modules are still `core_2d` and `core_3d`, etc.
* `Labels2d` and `Labels3d`, at the very least, should not be plural to
follow naming conventions. A Label enum is not a "collection of labels",
it is a _specific_ Label. However I think `Label2d` and `Label3d` is
significantly less clear than `Node2d` and `Node3d`, so I propose those
changes here. I've done the same for `LabelsPbr` -> `NodePbr` and
`LabelsUi` -> `NodeUi`
Additionally, #10644 accidentally made one of the Camera2dBundle
constructors use the 3D graph instead of the 2D graph. I've fixed that
here.
---
## Changelog
* Renamed `SubGraph2d` -> `Core2d`, `SubGraph3d` -> `Core3d`, `Labels2d`
-> `Node2d`, `Labels3d` -> `Node3d`, `LabelsUi` -> `NodeUi`, `LabelsPbr`
-> `NodePbr`
# Objective
Provide a public replacement for `Into<MeshUniform>` trait impl which
was removed by #10231.
I made use of this in the `bevy_mod_outline` crate and will have to
duplicate this function if it's not accessible.
## Solution
Change the MeshUniform::new() method to be public.
# Objective
After adding configurable exposure, we set the default ev100 value to
`7` (indoor). This brought us out of sync with Blender's configuration
and defaults. This PR changes the default to `9.7` (bright indoor or
very overcast outdoors), as I calibrated in #11577. This feels like a
very reasonable default.
The other changes generally center around tweaking Bevy's lighting
defaults and examples to play nicely with this number, alongside a few
other tweaks and improvements.
Note that for artistic reasons I have reverted some examples, which
changed to directional lights in #11581, back to point lights.
Fixes#11577
---
## Changelog
- Changed `Exposure::ev100` from `7` to `9.7` to better match Blender
- Renamed `ExposureSettings` to `Exposure`
- `Camera3dBundle` now includes `Exposure` for discoverability
- Bumped `FULL_DAYLIGHT ` and `DIRECT_SUNLIGHT` to represent the
middle-to-top of those ranges instead of near the bottom
- Added new `AMBIENT_DAYLIGHT` constant and set that as the new
`DirectionalLight` default illuminance.
- `PointLight` and `SpotLight` now have a default `intensity` of
1,000,000 lumens. This makes them actually useful in the context of the
new "semi-outdoor" exposure and puts them in the "cinema lighting"
category instead of the "common household light" category. They are also
reasonably close to the Blender default.
- `AmbientLight` default has been bumped from `20` to `80`.
## Migration Guide
- The increased `Exposure::ev100` means that all existing 3D lighting
will need to be adjusted to match (DirectionalLights, PointLights,
SpotLights, EnvironmentMapLights, etc). Or alternatively, you can adjust
the `Exposure::ev100` on your cameras to work nicely with your current
lighting values. If you are currently relying on default intensity
values, you might need to change the intensity to achieve the same
effect. Note that in Bevy 0.12, point/spot lights had a different hard
coded ev100 value than directional lights. In Bevy 0.13, they use the
same ev100, so if you have both in your scene, the _scale_ between these
light types has changed and you will likely need to adjust one or both
of them.
# Objective
We recently got some neat new 2d shapes and the shapes are no longer
centered on the screen.
The hardcoded positions and colors are a pain to deal with when a new
shape is added.
## Solution
Delete a bunch of code and position shapes evenly. Assign colors evenly
too.

# Objective
Fix https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11577.
## Solution
Fix the examples, add a few constants to make setting light values
easier, and change the default lighting settings to be more realistic.
(Now designed for an overcast day instead of an indoor environment)
---
I did not include any example-related changes in here.
## Changelogs (not including breaking changes)
### bevy_pbr
- Added `light_consts` module (included in prelude), which contains
common lux and lumen values for lights.
- Added `AmbientLight::NONE` constant, which is an ambient light with a
brightness of 0.
- Added non-EV100 variants for `ExposureSettings`'s EV100 constants,
which allow easier construction of an `ExposureSettings` from a EV100
constant.
## Breaking changes
### bevy_pbr
The several default lighting values were changed:
- `PointLight`'s default `intensity` is now `2000.0`
- `SpotLight`'s default `intensity` is now `2000.0`
- `DirectionalLight`'s default `illuminance` is now
`light_consts::lux::OVERCAST_DAY` (`1000.`)
- `AmbientLight`'s default `brightness` is now `20.0`
# Objective
- The current implementations for `&Visibility == Visibility` and
`Visibility == &Visibility` are ambiguous, so they raise a warning for
being unconditionally recursive.
- `TaskPool`'s `LOCAL_EXECUTOR` thread local calls a `const` constructor
in a non-`const` context.
## Solution
- Make `&Visibility == Visibility` and `Visibility == &Visibility`
implementations use `Visibility == Visibility`.
- Wrap `LocalExecutor::new` in a special `const` block supported by
[`thread_local`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/macro.thread_local.html).

# 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.
I just implemented this to record a video for the new blog post, but I
figured it would also make a good dedicated example. This also allows us
to remove a lot of code from the 2d/3d gizmo examples since it
supersedes this portion of code.
Depends on: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11699
# Objective
I tried using `insert_gizmo_group` to configure my physics gizmos in a
bevy_xpbd example, but was surprised to see that nothing happened. I
found out that the method does *not* overwrite gizmo groups that have
already been initialized (with `init_gizmo_group`). This is unexpected,
since methods like `insert_resource` *do* overwrite.
## Solution
Insert the configuration even if it has already been initialized.
# Objective
`RenderMeshInstance::material_bind_group_id` is only set from
`queue_material_meshes::<M>`. this field is used (only) for determining
batch groups, so some items may be batched incorrectly if they have
never been in the camera's view or if they don't use the Material
abstraction.
in particular, shadow views render more meshes than the main camera, and
currently batch some meshes where the object has never entered the
camera view together. this is quite hard to trigger, but should occur in
a scene with out-of-view alpha-mask materials (so that the material
instance actually affects the shadow) in the path of a light.
this is also a footgun for custom pipelines: failing to set the
material_bind_group_id will result in all meshes being batched together
and all using the closest/furthest material to the camera (depending on
sort order).
## Solution
- queue_shadows now sets the material_bind_group_id correctly
- `MeshPipeline` doesn't attempt to batch meshes if the
material_bind_group_id has not been set. custom pipelines still need to
set this field to take advantage of batching, but will at least render
correctly if it is not set
# Objective
sysinfo was updated to 0.30 in #11071. Ever since then the `cpu` field
of the `SystemInfo` struct that gets printed every time one starts an
bevy app has been empty. This is because the following part of the
sysinfo migration guide was overlooked:
---
### `Cpu` changes
Information like `Cpu::brand`, `Cpu::vendor_id` or `Cpu::frequency` are
not set on the "global" CPU.
---
## Solution
- Get the CPU brand information from a specific CPU instead. In this
case, just choose the first one. It's theoretically possible for
different CPUs to have different names, but in practice this doesn't
really happen I think. Even Intel's newer hybrid processors use a
uniform name for all CPUs in my experience.
- We can use this opportunity to also update our `sysinfo::System`
initialization here to only fetch the information we're interested in.
Make the renamings/changes regarding texture atlases a bit less
confusing by calling `TextureAtlasLayout` a layout, not a texture atlas.

# Objective
It can sometimes be useful to combine several meshes into one. This
allows constructing more complex meshes out of simple primitives without
needing to use a 3D modeling program or entity hierarchies.
This could also be used internally to increase code reuse by using
existing mesh generation logic for e.g. circles and using that in
cylinder mesh generation logic to add the top and bottom of the
cylinder.
**Note**: This is *not* implementing CSGs (Constructive Solid Geometry)
or any boolean operations, as that is much more complex. This is simply
adding the mesh data of another mesh to a mesh.
## Solution
Add a `merge` method to `Mesh`. It appends the vertex attributes and
indices of `other` to `self`, resulting in a `Mesh` that is the
combination of the two.
For example, you could do this:
```rust
let mut cuboid = Mesh::from(shape::Box::default());
let mut cylinder = Mesh::from(shape::Cylinder::default());
let mut torus = Mesh::from(shape::Torus::default());
cuboid.merge(cylinder);
cuboid.merge(torus);
```
This would result in `cuboid` being a `Mesh` that also has the cylinder
mesh and torus mesh. In this case, they would just be placed on top of
each other, but by utilizing #11454 we can transform the cylinder and
torus to get a result like this:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/57632562/557402c6-b896-4aba-bd95-312e7d1b5238
This is just a single entity and a single mesh.
# Objective
- Fixes#11782.
## Solution
- Remove the run condition for `apply_global_wireframe_material`, since
it prevent detecting when meshes are added or the `NoWireframe` marker
component is removed from an entity. Alternatively this could be done by
using a run condition like "added `Handle<Mesh>` or removed
`NoWireframe` or `WireframeConfig` changed" but this seems less clear to
me than directly letting the queries on
`apply_global_wireframe_material` do the filtering.
# Objective
-
[`crossbeam::scope`](https://docs.rs/crossbeam/latest/crossbeam/fn.scope.html)
is soft-deprecated in favor of the standard library's implementation.
## Solution
- Replace reference in `TaskPool`'s docs to mention `std:🧵:scope`
instead.
# Objective
- Fixes#11695
## Solution
- Added `delta: Option<Vec2>` to `bevy_window::CursorMoved`. `delta` is
an `Option` because the `CursorMoved` event does get fired when the
cursor was outside the window area in the last frame. In that case there
is no cursor position from the last frame to compare with the current
cursor position.
---
## Changelog
- Added `delta: Option<Vec2>` to `bevy_window::CursorMoved`.
## Migration Guide
- You need to add `delta` to any manually created `CursorMoved` struct.

# Objective
- Fixes#11638
- See
[here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11638#issuecomment-1920508465)
for details on the cause of this issue.
## Solution
- Modified `AssetLoaders` to capture possibility of multiple
`AssetLoader` registrations operating on the same `Asset` type, but
different extensions.
- Added an algorithm which will attempt to resolve via `AssetLoader`
name, then `Asset` type, then by extension. If at any point multiple
loaders fit a particular criteria, the next criteria is used as a tie
breaker.
# Objective
At the start of every schedule run, there's currently a guaranteed piece
of overhead as the async executor spawns the MultithreadeExecutor task
onto one of the ComputeTaskPool threads.
## Solution
Poll the executor once to immediately schedule systems without waiting
for the async executor, then spawn the task if and only if the executor
does not immediately terminate.
On a similar note, having the executor task immediately start executing
a system in the same async task might yield similar results over a
broader set of cases. However, this might be more involved, and may need
a solution like #8304.
# Objective
When applying a command, we currently use double indirection for the
world reference `&mut Option<&mut World>`. Since this is used across a
`fn` pointer boundary, this can't get optimized away.
## Solution
Reborrow the world reference and pass `Option<&mut World>` instead.
# Objective
Scheduling low cost systems has significant overhead due to task pool
contention and the extra machinery to schedule and run them. Following
the example of #7728, `asset_events` is good example of this kind of
system, where there is no work to be done when there are no queued asset
events.
## Solution
Put a run condition on it that checks if there are any queued events.
## Performance
Tested against `many_foxes`, we can see a slight improvement in the
total time spent in `UpdateAssets`. Also noted much less volatility due
to not being at the whim of the OS thread scheduler.

# Objective
The code in `bevy_reflect_derive` could use some cleanup.
## Solution
Took some of the changes in #11659 to create a dedicated PR for cleaning
up the field and container attribute logic.
#### Updated Naming
I renamed `ReflectTraits` and `ReflectFieldAttr` to
`ContainerAttributes` and `FieldAttributes`, respectively. I think these
are clearer.
#### Updated Parsing
##### Readability
The parsing logic wasn't too bad before, but it was getting difficult to
read. There was some duplicated logic between `Meta::List` and
`Meta::Path` attributes. Additionally, all the logic was kept inside a
large method.
To simply things, I replaced the nested meta parsing with `ParseStream`
parsing. In my opinion, this is easier to follow since it breaks up the
large match statement into a small set of single-line if statements,
where each if-block contains a single call to the appropriate attribute
parsing method.
##### Flexibility
On top of the added simplicity, this also makes our attribute parsing
much more flexible. It allows us to more elegantly handle custom where
clauses (i.e. `#[reflect(where T: Foo)]`) and it opens the door for more
non-standard attribute syntax (e.g. #11659).
##### Errors
This also allows us to automatically provide certain errors when
parsing. For example, since we can use `stream.lookahead1()`, we get
errors like the following for free:
```
error: expected one of: `ignore`, `skip_serializing`, `default`
--> crates/bevy_reflect/src/lib.rs:1988:23

1988 | #[reflect(foo)]
| ^^^
```
---
## Changelog
> [!note]
> All changes are internal to `bevy_reflect_derive` and should not
affect the public API[^1].
- Renamed `ReflectTraits` to `ContainerAttributes`
- Renamed `ReflectMeta::traits` to `ReflectMeta::attrs`
- Renamed `ReflectFieldAttr` to `FieldAttributes`
- Updated parsing logic for field/container attribute parsing
- Now uses a `ParseStream` directly instead of nested meta parsing
- General code cleanup of the field/container attribute modules for
`bevy_reflect_derive`

# Objective
Bevy's change detection functionality is invaluable for writing robust
apps, but it only works in the context of systems and exclusive systems.
Oftentimes it is necessary to detect changes made in earlier code
without having to place the code in separate systems, but it is not
currently possible to do so since there is no way to set the value of
`World::last_change_tick`.
`World::clear_trackers` allows you to update the change tick, but this
has unintended side effects, since it irreversibly affects the behavior
of change and removal detection for the entire app.
## Solution
Add a method `World::last_change_tick_scope`. This allows you to set
`last_change_tick` to a specific value for a region of code. To ensure
that misuse doesn't break unrelated functions, we restore the world's
original change tick at the end of the provided scope.
### Example
A function that uses this to run an update loop repeatedly, allowing
each iteration of the loop to react to changes made in the previous loop
iteration.
```rust
fn update_loop(
world: &mut World,
mut update_fn: impl FnMut(&mut World) -> std::ops::ControlFlow<()>,
) {
let mut last_change_tick = world.last_change_tick();
// Repeatedly run the update function until it requests a break.
loop {
// Update once.
let control_flow = world.last_change_tick_scope(last_change_tick, |world| {
update_fn(world)
});
// End the loop when the closure returns `ControlFlow::Break`.
if control_flow.is_break() {
break;
}
// Increment the change tick so the next update can detect changes from this update.
last_change_tick = world.change_tick();
world.increment_change_tick();
}
}
```
---
## Changelog
+ Added `World::last_change_tick_scope`, which allows you to specify the
reference for change detection within a certain scope.
# Objective
- Part of #11590.
## Solution
- Fix `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` for `bevy_dynamic_plugin`.
---
## Changelog
- Added further restrictions to the safety requirements of
`bevy_dynamic_plugin::dynamically_load_plugin`.
---
I had a few issues, specifically with the safety comment on
`dynamically_load_plugin`. There are three different unsafe functions
called within the function body, and they all need their own
justification / message.
Also, would it be unsound to call `dynamically_load_plugin` multiple
times on the same file? I feel the documentation needs to be more clear.
# Objective
Reduce the size of `bevy_utils`
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11478)
## Solution
Move `EntityHash` related types into `bevy_ecs`. This also allows us
access to `Entity`, which means we no longer need `EntityHashMap`'s
first generic argument.
---
## Changelog
- Moved `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` into `bevy::ecs::entity::hash` .
- Removed `EntityHashMap`'s first generic argument. It is now hardcoded
to always be `Entity`.
## Migration Guide
- Uses of `bevy::utils::{EntityHash, EntityHasher, EntityHashMap,
EntityHashSet}` now have to be imported from `bevy::ecs::entity::hash`.
- Uses of `EntityHashMap` no longer have to specify the first generic
parameter. It is now hardcoded to always be `Entity`.
# Objective
Loading some textures from the days of yonder give me errors cause the
mipmap level is 0
## Solution
Set a minimum of 1
## Changelog
Make mipmap level at least 1
# Objective
Use `GamepadButtonType` with library that requires `Ord`.
## Motivation
`KeyCode` derives `Ord` that I'm using with a trie for recognizing
[input
sequences](https://github.com/shanecelis/bevy-input-sequence/tree/trie).
I would like to do the same for `GamepadButtonType` but am stymied by it
not deriving `Ord`.
## Solution
This PR add derivations PartialOrd and Ord for `GamepadButtonType`.
## Workaround
If deriving `Ord` is not possible, I'd be happy to know how I might
coerce `GamepadButtonType` into a `u32` or something else that is `Ord`,
so I can wrap `GamepadButtonType` in a newtype. I suppose serializing
with serde may work or reflect?
# Objective
- Get rid of unwraps in winit fullscreen handling code, which are the
source of some crashes.
- Fix#11275
## Solution
- Replace the unwraps with warnings. Ignore the fullscreen request, do
nothing instead.
# Objective
It would be useful to be able to inspect a `QueryState`'s accesses so we
can detect when the data it accesses changes without having to iterate
it. However there are two things preventing this:
* These accesses are unnecessarily encapsulated.
* `Has<T>` indirectly accesses `T`, but does not register it.
## Solution
* Expose accesses and matches used by `QueryState`.
* Add the notion of "archetypal" accesses, which are not accessed
directly, but whose presence in an archetype affects a query result.

# Objective
I want to keep track of despawned entities.
I am aware of
[`RemovedComponents`](https://docs.rs/bevy/0.12.1/bevy/ecs/prelude/struct.RemovedComponents.html).
However, the docs don't explicitly mention that despawned entities are
also included in this event iterator.
I searched through the bevy tests to find `removal_tracking` in
`crates/bevy_ecs/src/system/mod.rs` that confirmed the behavior:
```rust
...
assert_eq!(
removed_i32.read().collect::<Vec<_>>(),
&[despawned.0],
"despawning causes the correct entity to show up in the 'RemovedComponent' system parameter."
);
...
```
## Solution
- Explicitly mention this behavior in docs.
This fixes a `FIXME` in `extract_meshes` and results in a performance
improvement.
As a result of this change, meshes in the render world might not be
attached to entities anymore. Therefore, the `entity` parameter to
`RenderCommand::render()` is now wrapped in an `Option`. Most
applications that use the render app's ECS can simply unwrap the
`Option`.
Note that for now sprites, gizmos, and UI elements still use the render
world as usual.
## Migration guide
* For efficiency reasons, some meshes in the render world may not have
corresponding `Entity` IDs anymore. As a result, the `entity` parameter
to `RenderCommand::render()` is now wrapped in an `Option`. Custom
rendering code may need to be updated to handle the case in which no
`Entity` exists for an object that is to be rendered.
# Objective
`bevy_utils` only requires aHash 0.8.3, which is broken on Rust 1.7.6:
```
error: could not compile `ahash` (lib) due to 1 previous error
error[E0635]: unknown feature `stdsimd`
```
See https://github.com/tkaitchuck/aHash/issues/200
This is fixed in aHash 0.8.7, so require at least that version
(Cargo.lock is already up to date).
# Objective
The deprecation message of `bevy::render::mesh::shape::Quad` says that
you should use `bevy_math`'s `Quad` instead. But it doesn't exist.
## Solution
Mention the correct primitive: `Rectangle`
> Follow up to #11600 and #10588
@mockersf expressed some [valid
concerns](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11600#issuecomment-1932796498)
about the current system this PR attempts to fix:
The `ComputedTextureSlices` reacts to asset change in both `bevy_sprite`
and `bevy_ui`, meaning that if the `ImageScaleMode` is inserted by
default in the bundles, we will iterate through most 2d items every time
an asset is updated.
# Solution
- `ImageScaleMode` only has two variants: `Sliced` and `Tiled`. I
removed the `Stretched` default
- `ImageScaleMode` is no longer part of any bundle, but the relevant
bundles explain that this additional component can be inserted
This way, the *absence* of `ImageScaleMode` means the image will be
stretched, and its *presence* will include the entity to the various
slicing systems
Optional components in bundles would make this more straigthfoward
# Additional work
Should I add new bundles with the `ImageScaleMode` component ?
# Objective
The screenshots generated by the `screenshot` example need to be removed
manually before commiting changes.
## Solution
`.gitignore` the screenshots generated by the `screenshot` example. I
also added the `**/` prefix so the screenshots get ignored regardless of
whether of where the example is run from.
# Objective
- Encoding many GPU commands (such as in a renderpass with many draws,
such as the main opaque pass) onto a `wgpu::CommandEncoder` is very
expensive, and takes a long time.
- To improve performance, we want to perform the command encoding for
these heavy passes in parallel.
## Solution
- `RenderContext` can now queue up "command buffer generation tasks"
which are closures that will generate a command buffer when called.
- When finalizing the render context to produce the final list of
command buffers, these tasks are run in parallel on the
`ComputeTaskPool` to produce their corresponding command buffers.
- The general idea is that the node graph will run in serial, but in a
node, instead of doing rendering work, you can add tasks to do render
work in parallel with other node's tasks that get ran at the end of the
graph execution.
## Nodes Parallelized
- `MainOpaquePass3dNode`
- `PrepassNode`
- `DeferredGBufferPrepassNode`
- `ShadowPassNode` (One task per view)
## Future Work
- For large number of draws calls, might be worth further subdividing
passes into 2+ tasks.
- Extend this to UI, 2d, transparent, and transmissive nodes?
- Needs testing - small command buffers are inefficient - it may be
worth reverting to the serial command encoder usage for render phases
with few items.
- All "serial" (traditional) rendering work must finish before parallel
rendering tasks (the new stuff) can start to run.
- There is still only one submission to the graphics queue at the end of
the graph execution. There is still no ability to submit work earlier.
## Performance Improvement
Thanks to @Elabajaba for testing on Bistro.
TLDR: Without shadow mapping, this PR has no impact. _With_ shadow
mapping, this PR gives **~40 more fps** than main.
---
## Changelog
- `MainOpaquePass3dNode`, `PrepassNode`, `DeferredGBufferPrepassNode`,
and each shadow map within `ShadowPassNode` are now encoded in parallel,
giving _greatly_ increased CPU performance, mainly when shadow mapping
is enabled.
- Does not work on WASM or AMD+Windows+Vulkan.
- Added `RenderContext::add_command_buffer_generation_task()`.
- `RenderContext::new()` now takes adapter info
- Some render graph and Node related types and methods now have
additional lifetime constraints.
## Migration Guide
`RenderContext::new()` now takes adapter info

# Objective
While profiling around to validate the results of #9172, I noticed that
`present_frames` can take a significant amount of time. Digging into the
cause, it seems like we're creating a new `QueryState` from scratch
every frame. This involves scanning the entire World's metadata instead
of just updating its view of the world.
## Solution
Use a `SystemState` argument to cache the `QueryState` to avoid this
construction cost.
## Performance
Against `many_foxes`, this seems to cut the time spent in
`present_frames` by nearly almost 2x. Yellow is this PR, red is main.
# Objective
#11431 and #11688 implemented meshing support for Bevy's new geometric
primitives. The next step is to deprecate the shapes in
`bevy_render::mesh::shape` and to later remove them completely for 0.14.
## Solution
Deprecate the shapes and reduce code duplication by utilizing the
primitive meshing API for the old shapes where possible.
Note that some shapes have behavior that can't be exactly reproduced
with the new primitives yet:
- `Box` is more of an AABB with min/max extents
- `Plane` supports a subdivision count
- `Quad` has a `flipped` property
These types have not been changed to utilize the new primitives yet.
---
## Changelog
- Deprecated all shapes in `bevy_render::mesh::shape`
- Changed all examples to use new primitives for meshing
## Migration Guide
Bevy has previously used rendering-specific types like `UVSphere` and
`Quad` for primitive mesh shapes. These have now been deprecated to use
the geometric primitives newly introduced in version 0.13.
Some examples:
```rust
let before = meshes.add(shape::Box::new(5.0, 0.15, 5.0));
let after = meshes.add(Cuboid::new(5.0, 0.15, 5.0));
let before = meshes.add(shape::Quad::default());
let after = meshes.add(Rectangle::default());
let before = meshes.add(shape::Plane::from_size(5.0));
// The surface normal can now also be specified when using `new`
let after = meshes.add(Plane3d::default().mesh().size(5.0, 5.0));
let before = meshes.add(
Mesh::try_from(shape::Icosphere {
radius: 0.5,
subdivisions: 5,
})
.unwrap(),
);
let after = meshes.add(Sphere::new(0.5).mesh().ico(5).unwrap());
```
# Objective
- Try not to drop the render world on the render thread, and drop the
main world after the render world.
- The render world has a drop check that will panic if it is dropped off
the main thread.
## Solution
- Keep track of where the render world is and wait for it to come back
when the channel resource is dropped.
---
## Changelog
- Wait for the render world when the main world is dropped.
## Migration Guide
- If you were using the pipelined rendering channels,
`MainToRenderAppSender` and `RenderToMainAppReceiver`, they have been
combined into the single resource `RenderAppChannels`.
