# Objective
Fixes#18843
## Solution
We need to account for the material being added and removed in the
course of the same frame. We evict the caches first because the entity
will be re-added if it was marked as needing specialization, which
avoids another check on removed components to see if it was "really"
despawned.
Fixes#18809Fixes#18823
Meshes despawned in `Last` can still be in visisible entities if they
were visible as of `PostUpdate`. Sanity check that the mesh actually
exists before we specialize. We still want to unconditionally assume
that the entity is in `EntitySpecializationTicks` as its absence from
that cache would likely suggest another bug.
The goal of `bevy_platform_support` is to provide a set of platform
agnostic APIs, alongside platform-specific functionality. This is a high
traffic crate (providing things like HashMap and Instant). Especially in
light of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/18799, it
deserves a friendlier / shorter name.
Given that it hasn't had a full release yet, getting this change in
before Bevy 0.16 makes sense.
- Rename `bevy_platform_support` to `bevy_platform`.
# Objective
Fixes#16896Fixes#17737
## Solution
Adds a new render phase, including all the new cold specialization
patterns, for wireframes. There's a *lot* of regrettable duplication
here between 3d/2d.
## Testing
All the examples.
## Migration Guide
- `WireframePlugin` must now be created with
`WireframePlugin::default()`.
# Objective
Fixes#17872
## Solution
This should have basically no impact on static scenes. We can optimize
more later if anything comes up. Needing to iterate the two level bin is
a bit unfortunate but shouldn't matter for apps that use a single
camera.
Instead of extracting an individual sprite per glyph of a text spawn or
slice of a nine-patched sprite, add a buffer to store the extracted
slice geometry.
Fixes#16972
* New struct `ExtractedSlice` to hold sprite slice size, position and
atlas info (for text each glyph is a slice).
* New resource `ExtractedSlices` that wraps the `ExtractedSlice` buffer.
This is a separate resource so it can be used without sprites (with a
text material, for example).
* New enum `ExtractedSpriteKind` with variants `Single` and `Slices`.
`Single` represents a single sprite, `Slices` contains a range into the
`ExtractedSlice` buffer.
* Only queue a single `ExtractedSprite` for sets of glyphs or slices and
push the geometry for each individual slice or glyph into the
`ExtractedSlice` buffer.
* Modify `ComputedTextureSlices` to return an `ExtractedSlice` iterator
instead of `ExtractedSprites`.
* Modify `extract_text2d_sprite` to only queue new `ExtractedSprite`s on
font changes and otherwise push slices.
I don't like the name `ExtractedSpriteKind` much, it's a bit redundant
and too haskellish. But although it's exported, it's not something users
will interact with most of the time so don't want to overthink it.

# Objective
For materials that aren't being used or a visible entity doesn't have an
instance of, we were unnecessarily constantly checking whether they
needed specialization, saying yes (because the material had never been
specialized for that entity), and failing to look up the material
instance.
## Solution
If an entity doesn't have an instance of the material, it can't possibly
need specialization, so exit early before spending time doing the check.
Fixes#18388.
# Objective
Currently, our picking backends are inconsistent:
- Mesh picking and sprite picking both have configurable opt in/out
behavior. UI picking does not.
- Sprite picking uses `SpritePickingCamera` and `Pickable` for control,
but mesh picking uses `RayCastPickable`.
- `MeshPickingPlugin` is not a part of `DefaultPlugins`.
`SpritePickingPlugin` and `UiPickingPlugin` are.
## Solution
- Add configurable opt in/out behavior to UI picking (defaults to opt
out).
- Replace `RayCastPickable` with `MeshPickingCamera` and `Pickable`.
- Remove `SpritePickingPlugin` and `UiPickingPlugin` from
`DefaultPlugins`.
## Testing
Ran some examples.
## Migration Guide
`UiPickingPlugin` and `SpritePickingPlugin` are no longer included in
`DefaultPlugins`. They must be explicitly added.
`RayCastPickable` has been replaced in favor of the `MeshPickingCamera`
and `Pickable` components. You should add them to cameras and entities,
respectively, if you have `MeshPickingSettings::require_markers` set to
`true`.

# Objective
As pointed out by @cart on
[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1351279139872571462),
we should be careful when using tuple shorthand to register types. Doing
so incurs some unnecessary penalties such as memory/compile/performance
cost to generate registrations for a tuple type that will never be used.
A better solution would be to create a custom lint for this, but for now
we can at least remove the existing usages of this pattern.
> [!note]
> This pattern of using tuples to register multiple types at once isn't
inherently bad. Users should feel free to use this pattern, knowing the
side effects it may have. What this problem really is about is using
this in _library_ code, where users of Bevy have no choice in whether a
tuple is unnecessarily registered in an internal plugin or not.
## Solution
Replace tuple registrations with single-type registrations.
Note that I left the tuple registrations in test code since I feel like
brevity is more important in those cases. But let me know if I should
change them or leave a comment above them!
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo check --workspace --all-features
```
# Objective
Now that #13432 has been merged, it's important we update our reflected
types to properly opt into this feature. If we do not, then this could
cause issues for users downstream who want to make use of
reflection-based cloning.
## Solution
This PR is broken into 4 commits:
1. Add `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types marked `#[reflect(opaque)]` that
are also `Clone`. This is mandatory as these types would otherwise cause
the cloning operation to fail for any type that contains it at any
depth.
2. Update the reflection example to suggest adding `#[reflect(Clone)]`
on opaque types.
3. Add `#[reflect(clone)]` attributes on all fields marked
`#[reflect(ignore)]` that are also `Clone`. This prevents the ignored
field from causing the cloning operation to fail.
Note that some of the types that contain these fields are also `Clone`,
and thus can be marked `#[reflect(Clone)]`. This makes the
`#[reflect(clone)]` attribute redundant. However, I think it's safer to
keep it marked in the case that the `Clone` impl/derive is ever removed.
I'm open to removing them, though, if people disagree.
4. Finally, I added `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types that are also
`Clone`. While not strictly necessary, it enables us to reduce the
generated output since we can just call `Clone::clone` directly instead
of calling `PartialReflect::reflect_clone` on each variant/field. It
also means we benefit from any optimizations or customizations made in
the `Clone` impl, including directly dereferencing `Copy` values and
increasing reference counters.
Along with that change I also took the liberty of adding any missing
registrations that I saw could be applied to the type as well, such as
`Default`, `PartialEq`, and `Hash`. There were hundreds of these to
edit, though, so it's possible I missed quite a few.
That last commit is **_massive_**. There were nearly 700 types to
update. So it's recommended to review the first three before moving onto
that last one.
Additionally, I can break the last commit off into its own PR or into
smaller PRs, but I figured this would be the easiest way of doing it
(and in a timely manner since I unfortunately don't have as much time as
I used to for code contributions).
## Testing
You can test locally with a `cargo check`:
```
cargo check --workspace --all-features
```
# Objective
- Fixes#15460 (will open new issues for further `no_std` efforts)
- Supersedes #17715
## Solution
- Threaded in new features as required
- Made certain crates optional but default enabled
- Removed `compile-check-no-std` from internal `ci` tool since GitHub CI
can now simply check `bevy` itself now
- Added CI task to check `bevy` on `thumbv6m-none-eabi` to ensure
`portable-atomic` support is still valid [^1]
[^1]: This may be controversial, since it could be interpreted as
implying Bevy will maintain support for `thumbv6m-none-eabi` going
forward. In reality, just like `x86_64-unknown-none`, this is a
[canary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/canary_in_a_coal_mine) target to
make it clear when `portable-atomic` no longer works as intended (fixing
atomic support on atomically challenged platforms). If a PR comes
through and makes supporting this class of platforms impossible, then
this CI task can be removed. I however wager this won't be a problem.
## Testing
- CI

## Release Notes
Bevy now has support for `no_std` directly from the `bevy` crate.
Users can disable default features and enable a new `default_no_std`
feature instead, allowing `bevy` to be used in `no_std` applications and
libraries.
```toml
# Bevy for `no_std` platforms
bevy = { version = "0.16", default-features = false, features = ["default_no_std"] }
```
`default_no_std` enables certain required features, such as `libm` and
`critical-section`, and as many optional crates as possible (currently
just `bevy_state`). For atomically-challenged platforms such as the
Raspberry Pi Pico, `portable-atomic` will be used automatically.
For library authors, we recommend depending on `bevy` with
`default-features = false` to allow `std` and `no_std` users to both
depend on your crate. Here are some recommended features a library crate
may want to expose:
```toml
[features]
# Most users will be on a platform which has `std` and can use the more-powerful `async_executor`.
default = ["std", "async_executor"]
# Features for typical platforms.
std = ["bevy/std"]
async_executor = ["bevy/async_executor"]
# Features for `no_std` platforms.
libm = ["bevy/libm"]
critical-section = ["bevy/critical-section"]
[dependencies]
# We disable default features to ensure we don't accidentally enable `std` on `no_std` targets, for example.
bevy = { version = "0.16", default-features = false }
```
While this is verbose, it gives the maximum control to end-users to
decide how they wish to use Bevy on their platform.
We encourage library authors to experiment with `no_std` support. For
libraries relying exclusively on `bevy` and no other dependencies, it
may be as simple as adding `#![no_std]` to your `lib.rs` and exposing
features as above! Bevy can also provide many `std` types, such as
`HashMap`, `Mutex`, and `Instant` on all platforms. See
`bevy::platform_support` for details on what's available out of the box!
## Migration Guide
- If you were previously relying on `bevy` with default features
disabled, you may need to enable the `std` and `async_executor`
features.
- `bevy_reflect` has had its `bevy` feature removed. If you were relying
on this feature, simply enable `smallvec` and `smol_str` instead.

## Objective
`insert_or_spawn_batch` is due to be deprecated eventually (#15704), and
removing uses internally will make that easier.
## Solution
Replaced internal uses of `insert_or_spawn_batch` with
`try_insert_batch` (non-panicking variant because
`insert_or_spawn_batch` didn't panic).
All of the internal uses are in rendering code. Since retained rendering
was meant to get rid non-opaque entity IDs, I assume the code was just
using `insert_or_spawn_batch` because `insert_batch` didn't exist and
not because it actually wanted to spawn something. However, I am *not*
confident in my ability to judge rendering code.
# Objective
Component `require()` IDE integration is fully broken, as of #16575.
## Solution
This reverts us back to the previous "put the docs on Component trait"
impl. This _does_ reduce the accessibility of the required components in
rust docs, but the complete erasure of "required component IDE
experience" is not worth the price of slightly increased prominence of
requires in docs.
Additionally, Rust Analyzer has recently started including derive
attributes in suggestions, so we aren't losing that benefit of the
proc_macro attribute impl.
# Objective
As discussed in #14275, Bevy is currently too prone to panic, and makes
the easy / beginner-friendly way to do a large number of operations just
to panic on failure.
This is seriously frustrating in library code, but also slows down
development, as many of the `Query::single` panics can actually safely
be an early return (these panics are often due to a small ordering issue
or a change in game state.
More critically, in most "finished" products, panics are unacceptable:
any unexpected failures should be handled elsewhere. That's where the
new
With the advent of good system error handling, we can now remove this.
Note: I was instrumental in a) introducing this idea in the first place
and b) pushing to make the panicking variant the default. The
introduction of both `let else` statements in Rust and the fancy system
error handling work in 0.16 have changed my mind on the right balance
here.
## Solution
1. Make `Query::single` and `Query::single_mut` (and other random
related methods) return a `Result`.
2. Handle all of Bevy's internal usage of these APIs.
3. Deprecate `Query::get_single` and friends, since we've moved their
functionality to the nice names.
4. Add detailed advice on how to best handle these errors.
Generally I like the diff here, although `get_single().unwrap()` in
tests is a bit of a downgrade.
## Testing
I've done a global search for `.single` to track down any missed
deprecated usages.
As to whether or not all the migrations were successful, that's what CI
is for :)
## Future work
~~Rename `Query::get_single` and friends to `Query::single`!~~
~~I've opted not to do this in this PR, and smear it across two releases
in order to ease the migration. Successive deprecations are much easier
to manage than the semantics and types shifting under your feet.~~
Cart has convinced me to change my mind on this; see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18082#discussion_r1974536085.
## Migration guide
`Query::single`, `Query::single_mut` and their `QueryState` equivalents
now return a `Result`. Generally, you'll want to:
1. Use Bevy 0.16's system error handling to return a `Result` using the
`?` operator.
2. Use a `let else Ok(data)` block to early return if it's an expected
failure.
3. Use `unwrap()` or `Ok` destructuring inside of tests.
The old `Query::get_single` (etc) methods which did this have been
deprecated.
## Objective
Alternative to #18001.
- Now that systems can handle the `?` operator, `get_entity` returning
`Result` would be more useful than `Option`.
- With `get_entity` being more flexible, combined with entity commands
now checking the entity's existence automatically, the panic in `entity`
isn't really necessary.
## Solution
- Changed `Commands::get_entity` to return `Result<EntityCommands,
EntityDoesNotExistError>`.
- Removed panic from `Commands::entity`.
# Objective
Implements and closes#17515
## Solution
Add `uv_transform` to `ColorMaterial`
## Testing

`MeshMaterial2d<ColorMaterial>`

## Solution
- Make the query match `&Pickable` instead `Option<&Pickable>`
## Testing
- Run the `sprite_picking` example and everything still work
## Migration Guide
- Sprite picking are now opt-in, make sure you insert `Pickable`
component when using sprite picking.
```diff
-commands.spawn(Sprite { .. } );
+commands.spawn((Sprite { .. }, Pickable::default());
```
# Objective
- Fixes#17960

## Summary of Changes
### Documentation Indentation
When using lists in documentation, proper indentation is now linted for.
This means subsequent lines within the same list item must start at the
same indentation level as the item.
```rust
/* Valid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
/* Invalid */
/// - Item 1
/// Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
```
### Implicit `!` to `()` Conversion
`!` (the never return type, returned by `panic!`, etc.) no longer
implicitly converts to `()`. This is particularly painful for systems
with `todo!` or `panic!` statements, as they will no longer be functions
returning `()` (or `Result<()>`), making them invalid systems for
functions like `add_systems`. The ideal fix would be to accept functions
returning `!` (or rather, _not_ returning), but this is blocked on the
[stabilisation of the `!` type
itself](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html), which is
not done.
The "simple" fix would be to add an explicit `-> ()` to system
signatures (e.g., `|| { todo!() }` becomes `|| -> () { todo!() }`).
However, this is _also_ banned, as there is an existing lint which (IMO,
incorrectly) marks this as an unnecessary annotation.
So, the "fix" (read: workaround) is to put these kinds of `|| -> ! { ...
}` closuers into variables and give the variable an explicit type (e.g.,
`fn()`).
```rust
// Valid
let system: fn() = || todo!("Not implemented yet!");
app.add_systems(..., system);
// Invalid
app.add_systems(..., || todo!("Not implemented yet!"));
```
### Temporary Variable Lifetimes
The order in which temporary variables are dropped has changed. The
simple fix here is _usually_ to just assign temporaries to a named
variable before use.
### `gen` is a keyword
We can no longer use the name `gen` as it is reserved for a future
generator syntax. This involved replacing uses of the name `gen` with
`r#gen` (the raw-identifier syntax).
### Formatting has changed
Use statements have had the order of imports changed, causing a
substantial +/-3,000 diff when applied. For now, I have opted-out of
this change by amending `rustfmt.toml`
```toml
style_edition = "2021"
```
This preserves the original formatting for now, reducing the size of
this PR. It would be a simple followup to update this to 2024 and run
`cargo fmt`.
### New `use<>` Opt-Out Syntax
Lifetimes are now implicitly included in RPIT types. There was a handful
of instances where it needed to be added to satisfy the borrow checker,
but there may be more cases where it _should_ be added to avoid
breakages in user code.
### `MyUnitStruct { .. }` is an invalid pattern
Previously, you could match against unit structs (and unit enum
variants) with a `{ .. }` destructuring. This is no longer valid.
### Pretty much every use of `ref` and `mut` are gone
Pattern binding has changed to the point where these terms are largely
unused now. They still serve a purpose, but it is far more niche now.
### `iter::repeat(...).take(...)` is bad
New lint recommends using the more explicit `iter::repeat_n(..., ...)`
instead.
## Migration Guide
The lifetimes of functions using return-position impl-trait (RPIT) are
likely _more_ conservative than they had been previously. If you
encounter lifetime issues with such a function, please create an issue
to investigate the addition of `+ use<...>`.

- Check the individual commits for a clearer breakdown for what
_actually_ changed.

# Objective
`Eq`/`PartialEq` are currently implemented for `MeshMaterial{2|3}d` only
through the derive macro. Since we don't have perfect derive yet, the

hand, I want to be able to compare material components for my toy
reactivity project.

Currently, the specialized pipeline cache maps a (view entity, mesh
entity) tuple to the retained pipeline for that entity. This causes two
problems:
1. Using the view entity is incorrect, because the view entity isn't
stable from frame to frame.
2. Switching the view entity to a `RetainedViewEntity`, which is
necessary for correctness, significantly regresses performance of
`specialize_material_meshes` and `specialize_shadows` because of the
loss of the fast `EntityHash`.
This patch fixes both problems by switching to a *two-level* hash table.
The outer level of the table maps each `RetainedViewEntity` to an inner
table, which maps each `MainEntity` to its pipeline ID and change tick.
Because we loop over views first and, within that loop, loop over
entities visible from that view, we hoist the slow lookup of the view
entity out of the inner entity loop.
Additionally, this patch fixes a bug whereby pipeline IDs were leaked
when removing the view. We still have a problem with leaking pipeline
IDs for deleted entities, but that won't be fixed until the specialized
pipeline cache is retained.
This patch improves performance of the [Caldera benchmark] from 7.8×
faster than 0.14 to 9.0× faster than 0.14, when applied on top of the
global binding arrays PR, #17898.
[Caldera benchmark]: https://github.com/DGriffin91/bevy_caldera_scene
The GPU can fill out many of the fields in `IndirectParametersMetadata`
using information it already has:
* `early_instance_count` and `late_instance_count` are always
initialized to zero.
* `mesh_index` is already present in the work item buffer as the
`input_index` of the first work item in each batch.
This patch moves these fields to a separate buffer, the *GPU indirect
parameters metadata* buffer. That way, it avoids having to write them on
CPU during `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`. This effectively
reduces the number of bits that that function must write per mesh from
160 to 64 (in addition to the 64 bits per mesh *instance*).
Additionally, this PR refactors `UntypedPhaseIndirectParametersBuffers`
to add another layer, `MeshClassIndirectParametersBuffers`, which allows
abstracting over the buffers corresponding indexed and non-indexed
meshes. This patch doesn't make much use of this abstraction, but
forthcoming patches will, and it's overall a cleaner approach.
This didn't seem to have much of an effect by itself on
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` time, but subsequent PRs
dependent on this PR yield roughly a 2× speedup.
# Objective
- #17787 removed sweeping of binned render phases from 2D by accident
due to them not using the `BinnedRenderPhasePlugin`.
- Fixes#17885
## Solution
- Schedule `sweep_old_entities` in `QueueSweep` like
`BinnedRenderPhasePlugin` does, but for 2D where that plugin is not
used.
## Testing
Tested with the modified `shader_defs` example in #17885 .
# Objective
Add reference to reported position space in picking backend docs.
Fixes#17844
## Solution
Add explanatory docs to the implementation notes of each picking
backend.
## Testing
`cargo r -p ci -- doc-check` & `cargo r -p ci -- lints`
Currently, invocations of `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` and
`batch_and_prepare_sorted_render_phase` can't run in parallel because
they write to scene-global GPU buffers. After PR #17698,
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` started accounting for the
lion's share of the CPU time, causing us to be strongly CPU bound on
scenes like Caldera when occlusion culling was on (because of the
overhead of batching for the Z-prepass). Although I eventually plan to
optimize `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`, we can obtain
significant wins now by parallelizing that system across phases.
This commit splits all GPU buffers that
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` and
`batch_and_prepare_sorted_render_phase` touches into separate buffers
for each phase so that the scheduler will run those phases in parallel.
At the end of batch preparation, we gather the render phases up into a
single resource with a new *collection* phase. Because we already run
mesh preprocessing separately for each phase in order to make occlusion
culling work, this is actually a cleaner separation. For example, mesh
output indices (the unique ID that identifies each mesh instance on GPU)
are now guaranteed to be sequential starting from 0, which will simplify
the forthcoming work to remove them in favor of the compute dispatch ID.
On Caldera, this brings the frame time down to approximately 9.1 ms with
occlusion culling on.
Currently, we look up each `MeshInputUniform` index in a hash table that
maps the main entity ID to the index every frame. This is inefficient,
cache unfriendly, and unnecessary, as the `MeshInputUniform` index for
an entity remains the same from frame to frame (even if the input
uniform changes). This commit changes the `IndexSet` in the `RenderBin`
to an `IndexMap` that maps the `MainEntity` to `MeshInputUniformIndex`
(a new type that this patch adds for more type safety).
On Caldera with parallel `batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase`, this
patch improves that function from 3.18 ms to 2.42 ms, a 31% speedup.
Currently, we *sweep*, or remove entities from bins when those entities
became invisible or changed phases, during `queue_material_meshes` and
similar phases. This, however, is wrong, because `queue_material_meshes`
executes once per material type, not once per phase. This could result
in sweeping bins multiple times per phase, which can corrupt the bins.
This commit fixes the issue by moving sweeping to a separate system that
runs after queuing.
This manifested itself as entities appearing and disappearing seemingly
at random.
Closes#17759.

# Objective
Because of mesh preprocessing, users cannot rely on
`@builtin(instance_index)` in order to reference external data, as the
instance index is not stable, either from frame to frame or relative to
the total spawn order of mesh instances.
## Solution
Add a user supplied mesh index that can be used for referencing external
data when drawing instanced meshes.
Closes#13373
## Testing
Benchmarked `many_cubes` showing no difference in total frame time.

# Objective
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17746
## Solution
- Change `Image.data` from being a `Vec<u8>` to a `Option<Vec<u8>>`
- Added functions to help with creating images
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
All current tests pass
Tested a variety of existing examples to make sure they don't crash
(they don't)
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
Linux x86 64-bit NixOS
---
## Migration Guide
Code that directly access `Image` data will now need to use unwrap or
handle the case where no data is provided.
Behaviour of new_fill slightly changed, but not in a way that is likely
to affect anything. It no longer panics and will fill the whole texture
instead of leaving black pixels if the data provided is not a nice
factor of the size of the image.

Didn't remove WgpuWrapper. Not sure if it's needed or not still.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? Example runner
- Are there any parts that need more testing? Web (portable atomics
thingy?), DXC.
## Migration Guide
- Bevy has upgraded to [wgpu
v24](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.md#v2400-2025-01-15).
- When using the DirectX 12 rendering backend, the new priority system
for choosing a shader compiler is as follows:
- If the `WGPU_DX12_COMPILER` environment variable is set at runtime, it
is used
- Else if the new `statically-linked-dxc` feature is enabled, a custom
version of DXC will be statically linked into your app at compile time.
- Else Bevy will look in the app's working directory for
`dxcompiler.dll` and `dxil.dll` at runtime.
- Else if they are missing, Bevy will fall back to FXC (not recommended)

# Objective
- publish script copy the license files to all subcrates, meaning that
all publish are dirty. this breaks git verification of crates
- the order and list of crates to publish is manually maintained,
leading to error. cargo 1.84 is more strict and the list is currently
wrong
## Solution
- duplicate all the licenses to all crates and remove the
`--allow-dirty` flag
- instead of a manual list of crates, get it from `cargo package
--workspace`
- remove the `--no-verify` flag to... verify more things?
# Objective
Things were breaking post-cs.
## Solution
`specialize_mesh_materials` must run after
`collect_meshes_for_gpu_building`. Therefore, its placement in the
`PrepareAssets` set didn't make sense (also more generally). To fix, we
put this class of system in ~`PrepareResources`~ `QueueMeshes`, although
it potentially could use a more descriptive location. We may want to
review the placement of `check_views_need_specialization` which is also
currently in `PrepareAssets`.
This PR makes Bevy keep entities in bins from frame to frame if they
haven't changed. This reduces the time spent in `queue_material_meshes`
and related functions to near zero for static geometry. This patch uses
the same change tick technique that #17567 uses to detect when meshes
have changed in such a way as to require re-binning.
In order to quickly find the relevant bin for an entity when that entity
has changed, we introduce a new type of cache, the *bin key cache*. This
cache stores a mapping from main world entity ID to cached bin key, as
well as the tick of the most recent change to the entity. As we iterate
through the visible entities in `queue_material_meshes`, we check the
cache to see whether the entity needs to be re-binned. If it doesn't,
then we mark it as clean in the `valid_cached_entity_bin_keys` bit set.
If it does, then we insert it into the correct bin, and then mark the
entity as clean. At the end, all entities not marked as clean are
removed from the bins.
This patch has a dramatic effect on the rendering performance of most
benchmarks, as it effectively eliminates `queue_material_meshes` from
the profile. Note, however, that it generally simultaneously regresses
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` by a bit (not by enough to
outweigh the win, however). I believe that's because, before this patch,
`queue_material_meshes` put the bins in the CPU cache for
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` to use, while with this patch,
`batch_and_prepare_binned_render_phase` must load the bins into the CPU
cache itself.
On Caldera, this reduces the time spent in `queue_material_meshes` from
5+ ms to 0.2ms-0.3ms. Note that benchmarking on that scene is very noisy
right now because of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17535.
# Objective
- Make use of the new `weak_handle!` macro added in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17384
## Solution
- Migrate bevy from `Handle::weak_from_u128` to the new `weak_handle!`
macro that takes a random UUID
- Deprecate `Handle::weak_from_u128`, since there are no remaining use
cases that can't also be addressed by constructing the type manually
## Testing
- `cargo run -p ci -- test`
---
## Migration Guide
Replace `Handle::weak_from_u128` with `weak_handle!` and a random UUID.
# Cold Specialization
## Objective
An ongoing part of our quest to retain everything in the render world,
cold-specialization aims to cache pipeline specialization so that
pipeline IDs can be recomputed only when necessary, rather than every
frame. This approach reduces redundant work in stable scenes, while
still accommodating scenarios in which materials, views, or visibility
might change, as well as unlocking future optimization work like
retaining render bins.
## Solution
Queue systems are split into a specialization system and queue system,
the former of which only runs when necessary to compute a new pipeline
id. Pipelines are invalidated using a combination of change detection
and ECS ticks.
### The difficulty with change detection
Detecting “what changed” can be tricky because pipeline specialization
depends not only on the entity’s components (e.g., mesh, material, etc.)
but also on which view (camera) it is rendering in. In other words, the
cache key for a given pipeline id is a view entity/render entity pair.
As such, it's not sufficient simply to react to change detection in
order to specialize -- an entity could currently be out of view or could
be rendered in the future in camera that is currently disabled or hasn't
spawned yet.
### Why ticks?
Ticks allow us to ensure correctness by allowing us to compare the last
time a view or entity was updated compared to the cached pipeline id.
This ensures that even if an entity was out of view or has never been
seen in a given camera before we can still correctly determine whether
it needs to be re-specialized or not.
## Testing
TODO: Tested a bunch of different examples, need to test more.
## Migration Guide
TODO
- `AssetEvents` has been moved into the `PostUpdate` schedule.

# Objective
Fix text 2d. Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17670
## Solution
Evidently there's a 1:N extraction going on here that requires using the
render entity rather than main entity.
## Testing
Text 2d example
# Objective
Currently, `prepare_sprite_image_bind_group` spawns sprite batches onto
an individual representative entity of the batch. This poses significant
problems for multi-camera setups, since an entity may appear in multiple
phase instances.
## Solution
Instead, move batches into a resource that is keyed off the view and the
representative entity. Long term we should switch to mesh2d and use the
existing BinnedRenderPhase functionality rather than naively queueing
into transparent and doing our own ad-hoc batching logic.
Fixes#16867, #17351
## Testing
Tested repros in above issues.
# Objective
Fix this comment in `queue_sprites`:
```
// batch_range and dynamic_offset will be calculated in prepare_sprites.
```
`Transparent2d` no longer has a `dynamic_offset` field and the
`batch_range` is calculated in `prepare_sprite_image_bind_groups` now.
