# Objective
- Test mobile example on real devices
## Solution
- Use [BrowserStack](https://www.browserstack.com) to have access to
[real
devices](https://www.browserstack.com/list-of-browsers-and-platforms/app_automate)
- [App Automate](https://www.browserstack.com/app-automate) to run the
example
- [App Percy](https://www.browserstack.com/app-percy) to compare the
screenshot
- Added a daily/manual CI job that will build for iOS and Android, send
the apps to BrowserStack, run the app on one iOS device and one Android
device, capture a screenshot, send it for visual validation, and archive
it in the GitHub action
Example run: https://github.com/mockersf/bevy/actions/runs/4521883534
They currently have a bug with the settings to view snapshots, they
should be public. I'll raise it to them, and if they don't fix it in
time it's possible to work around for everyone to view the results
through their API.
@cart to get this to work, you'll need
- to set up an account on BrowserStack
- add the secrets `BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME` and `BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY`
to the Bevy repo
- create a project in Percy
- add the secret `PERCY_TOKEN` to the Bevy repo and modify the project
name line 122 in the `Daily.yml` file
# Objective
The `LICENSE` file in the root directory was removed in #4966. This breaks the license shield link in the README.
## Solution
I changed the link to instead point at the license section of the readme on the main repo page. I think this is better than a 404, but I am unsure as to if it's the best solution. As such feedback is appreciated.
# Objective
- In #4966, @DJMcNab noted that the changes should likely have been flagged as controversial, and blocked on a final pass from @cart.
- I think this is generally reasonable.
- Added as an explicit guideline.
- Changes to top-level files are also typically controversial, due to the high visible impact (see #4700 for a case of that).
- Added as an explicit guideline.
- The licensing information of our included assets is hard to find.
- Call out the existence of CREDITS.md
# Objective
- The libraries used section of the README is outdated and is missing a lot of libraries
- The README isn't really the place for that anyway
## Solution
- Remove the section
@BoxyUwU says that she always looks for this here, following the example of [tetra](https://github.com/17cupsofcoffee/tetra).
I think this is a pretty sensible idea!
Change _LICENSE-APACHE_ and _LICENSE-MIT_ file location
Delete _LICENSE_
You can make the license in about on bevy's GitHub page display as **Apache-2.0, MIT licenses found** instead of **View license**
# Objective
- Users occasionally ask about the latest supported Rust version.
- Fixes#288 (kinda).
## Solution
- We use "latest stable release".
- Document this information in the README.
# Objective
rg3d has been renamed to Fyrox for a little while now and we should reflect that. It's not particularly urgent since the old link redirects to Fyrox.
## Solution
Rename rg3d to Fyrox in the README
# Objective
- The focus areas and roadmap are very stale.
- Some of the information about how to learn or contribute to Bevy are outdated
## Solution
- Remove links to focus areas and roadmap (roadmap still exists, and will be updated post-release).
- Link to Bevy Assets, CONTRIBUTING.md and official examples.
This relicenses Bevy under the dual MIT or Apache-2.0 license. For rationale, see #2373.
* Changes the LICENSE file to describe the dual license. Moved the MIT license to docs/LICENSE-MIT. Added the Apache-2.0 license to docs/LICENSE-APACHE. I opted for this approach over dumping both license files at the root (the more common approach) for a number of reasons:
* Github links to the "first" license file (LICENSE-APACHE) in its license links (you can see this in the wgpu and rust-analyzer repos). People clicking these links might erroneously think that the apache license is the only option. Rust and Amethyst both use COPYRIGHT or COPYING files to solve this problem, but this creates more file noise (if you do everything at the root) and the naming feels way less intuitive.
* People have a reflex to look for a LICENSE file. By providing a single license file at the root, we make it easy for them to understand our licensing approach.
* I like keeping the root clean and noise free
* There is precedent for putting the apache and mit license text in sub folders (amethyst)
* Removed the `Copyright (c) 2020 Carter Anderson` copyright notice from the MIT license. I don't care about this attribution, it might make license compliance more difficult in some cases, and it didn't properly attribute other contributors. We shoudn't replace it with something like "Copyright (c) 2021 Bevy Contributors" because "Bevy Contributors" is not a legal entity. Instead, we just won't include the copyright line (which has precedent ... Rust also uses this approach).
* Updates crates to use the new "MIT OR Apache-2.0" license value
* Removes the old legion-transform license file from bevy_transform. bevy_transform has been its own, fully custom implementation for a long time and that license no longer applies.
* Added a License section to the main readme
* Updated our Bevy Plugin licensing guidelines.
As a follow-up we should update the website to properly describe the new license.
Closes#2373
This obsoletes #1111 and #2445, since @ColonisationCaptain and @temhotaokeaha haven't replied to #2373.
I believe that both of those PRs would be fine to keep, but they're even more fine to keep now :)
# Objective
I wanted to send the Bevy discord link to someone but couldn't find a pretty link to copy paste
## Solution
Use the vanity link we have for discord
Fixes#2079Closes#2288
Modifies README.md, and creates a new SVG file for the logo. When Github appearance is in Dark Dimmed, the blackbird and BEVY text of the logo should not blend into the black background.
1. The instructions in the main README used to point users to the git main version. This has likely misdirected and confused many new users. Update to direct users to the latest release instead.
2. Rewrite the notice in the examples README to make it clearer and more concise, and to show the `latest` git branch.

I have run the VSCode Extension [markdownlint](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint) on all Markdown Files in the Repo.
The provided Rules are documented here: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/v0.23.1/doc/Rules.md
Rules I didn't follow/fix:
* MD024/no-duplicate-heading
* Changelog: Here Heading will always repeat.
* Examples Readme: Platform-specific documentation should be symmetrical.
* MD025/single-title
* MD026/no-trailing-punctuation
* Caused by the ! in "Hello, World!".
* MD033/no-inline-html
* The plugins_guidlines file does need HTML, so the shown badges aren't downscaled too much.
* ~~MD036/no-emphasis-as-heading:~~
* ~~This Warning only Appears in the Github Issue Templates and can be ignored.~~
* ~~MD041/first-line-heading~~
* ~~Only appears in the Readme for the AlienCake example Assets, which is unimportant.~~
---
I also sorted the Examples in the Readme and Cargo.toml in this order/Priority:
* Topic/Folder
* Introductionary Examples
* Alphabetical Order
The explanation for each case, where it isn't Alphabetical :
* Diagnostics
* log_diagnostics: The usage of inbuild Diagnostics is more important than creating your own.
* ECS (Entity Component System)
* ecs_guide: The guide should be read, before diving into other Features.
* Reflection
* reflection: Basic Explanation should be read, before more advanced Topics.
* WASM Examples
* hello_wasm: It's "Hello, World!".
In this case, the previous section header linked to in second badge in `plugins_guidelines` didn't actually exist, so I just linked to the same section as the first badge
Also I need to check that github handles the relative links correctly
This would highlight how active the community really is at just a glance, which is nice. It will however require an admin of the discord server to activate this under Server Settings->Widget-> enable server widget
