Changed

• ecs: ergonomic query.iter(), remove locks, add QuerySets
  • query.iter() is now a real iterator!
  • QuerySet allows working with conflicting queries and is checked at compile-time.
• Rename query.entity() and query.get()
  • query.get::<Component>(entity) is now query.get_component::<Component>(entity)
  • query.entity(entity) is now query.get(entity)
• Asset system rework and GLTF scene loading
• Introduces WASM implementation of AssetIo
• Move transform data out of Mat4
• Separate gamepad state code from gamepad event code and other customizations

• sRGB awareness for Color
  • Color is now assumed to be provided in the non-linear sRGB colorspace. Constructors such as Color::rgb and Color::rgba will be converted to linear sRGB.
  • New methods Color::rgb_linear and Color::rgba_linear will accept colors already in linear sRGB (the old behavior)
  • Individual color-components must now be accessed through setters and getters.
• Mesh overhaul with custom vertex attributes
  • Any vertex attribute can now be added over mesh.attributes.insert().
  • See example/shader/mesh_custom_attribute.rs
  • Removed VertexAttribute, Vertex, AsVertexBufferDescriptor.
  • For missing attributes (requested by shader, but not defined by mesh), Bevy will provide a zero-filled fallback buffer.
• Despawning an entity multiple times causes a debug-level log message to be emitted instead of a panic: #649, #651
