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
- Contributes to #15460
- Supersedes #8520
- Fixes#4906
## Solution
- Added a new `web` feature to `bevy`, and several of its crates.
- Enabled new `web` feature automatically within crates without `no_std`
support.
## Testing
- `cargo build --no-default-features --target wasm32v1-none`
---
## Migration Guide
When using Bevy crates which _don't_ automatically enable the `web`
feature, please enable it when building for the browser.
## Notes
- I added [`cfg_if`](https://crates.io/crates/cfg-if) to help manage
some of the feature gate gore that this extra feature introduces. It's
still pretty ugly, but I think much easier to read.
- Certain `wasm` targets (e.g.,
[wasm32-wasip1](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/wasm32-wasip1.html#wasm32-wasip1))
provide an incomplete implementation for `std`. I have not tested these
platforms, but I suspect Bevy's liberal use of usually unsupported
features (e.g., threading) will cause these targets to fail. As such,
consider `wasm32-unknown-unknown` as the only `wasm` platform with
support from Bevy for `std`. All others likely will need to be treated
as `no_std` platforms.
# 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
Fixes#18092
Bevy's current error type is a simple type alias for `Box<dyn Error +
Send + Sync + 'static>`. This largely works as a catch-all error, but it
is missing a critical feature: the ability to capture a backtrace at the
point that the error occurs. The best way to do this is `anyhow`-style
error handling: a new error type that takes advantage of the fact that
the `?` `From` conversion happens "inline" to capture the backtrace at
the point of the error.
## Solution
This PR adds a new `BevyError` type (replacing our old
`std::error::Error` type alias), which uses the "from conversion
backtrace capture" approach:
```rust
fn oh_no() -> Result<(), BevyError> {
// this fails with Rust's built in ParseIntError, which
// is converted into the catch-all BevyError type
let number: usize = "hi".parse()?;
println!("parsed {number}");
Ok(())
}
```
This also updates our exported `Result` type alias to default to
`BevyError`, meaning you can write this instead:
```rust
fn oh_no() -> Result {
let number: usize = "hi".parse()?;
println!("parsed {number}");
Ok(())
}
```
When a BevyError is encountered in a system, it will use Bevy's default
system error handler (which panics by default). BevyError does custom
"backtrace filtering" by default, meaning we can cut out the _massive_
amount of "rust internals", "async executor internals", and "bevy system
scheduler internals" that show up in backtraces. It also trims out the
first generally-unnecssary `From` conversion backtrace lines that make
it harder to locate the real error location. The result is a blissfully
simple backtrace by default:

The full backtrace can be shown by setting the `BEVY_BACKTRACE=full`
environment variable. Non-BevyError panics still use the default Rust
backtrace behavior.
One issue that prevented the truly noise-free backtrace during panics
that you see above is that Rust's default panic handler will print the
unfiltered (and largely unhelpful real-panic-point) backtrace by
default, in _addition_ to our filtered BevyError backtrace (with the
helpful backtrace origin) that we capture and print. To resolve this, I
have extended Bevy's existing PanicHandlerPlugin to wrap the default
panic handler. If we panic from the result of a BevyError, we will skip
the default "print full backtrace" panic handler. This behavior can be
enabled and disabled using the new `error_panic_hook` cargo feature in
`bevy_app` (which is enabled by default).
One downside to _not_ using `Box<dyn Error>` directly is that we can no
longer take advantage of the built-in `Into` impl for strings to errors.
To resolve this, I have added the following:
```rust
// Before
Err("some error")?
// After
Err(BevyError::message("some error"))?
```
We can discuss adding shorthand methods or macros for this (similar to
anyhow's `anyhow!("some error")` macro), but I'd prefer to discuss that
later.
I have also added the following extension method:
```rust
// Before
some_option.ok_or("some error")?;
// After
some_option.ok_or_message("some error")?;
```
I've also moved all of our existing error infrastructure from
`bevy_ecs::result` to `bevy_ecs::error`, as I think that is the better
home for it
## Why not anyhow (or eyre)?
The biggest reason is that `anyhow` needs to be a "generically useful
error type", whereas Bevy is a much narrower scope. By using our own
error, we can be significantly more opinionated. For example, anyhow
doesn't do the extensive (and invasive) backtrace filtering that
BevyError does because it can't operate on Bevy-specific context, and
needs to be generically useful.
Bevy also has a lot of operational context (ex: system info) that could
be useful to attach to errors. If we have control over the error type,
we can add whatever context we want to in a structured way. This could
be increasingly useful as we add more visual / interactive error
handling tools and editor integrations.
Additionally, the core approach used is simple and requires almost no
code. anyhow clocks in at ~2500 lines of code, but the impl here uses
160. We are able to boil this down to exactly what we need, and by doing
so we improve our compile times and the understandability of our code.
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
- Reduce quantity and complexity of feature gates across Bevy
## Solution
- Used `target_has_atomic` configuration variable to automatically
detect impartial atomic support and automatically switch to
`portable-atomic` over the standard library on an as-required basis.
## Testing
- CI
## Notes
To explain the technique employed here, consider getting `Arc` either
from `alloc::sync` _or_ `portable-atomic-util`. First, we can inspect
the `alloc` crate to see that you only have access to `Arc` _if_
`target_has_atomic = "ptr"`. We add a target dependency for this
particular configuration _inverted_:
```toml
[target.'cfg(not(target_has_atomic = "ptr"))'.dependencies]
portable-atomic-util = { version = "0.2.4", default-features = false }
```
This ensures we only have the dependency when it is needed, and it is
entirely excluded from the dependency graph when it is not. Next, we
adjust our configuration flags to instead of checking for `feature =
"portable-atomic"` to instead check for `target_has_atomic = "ptr"`:
```rust
// `alloc` feature flag hidden for brevity
#[cfg(not(target_has_atomic = "ptr"))]
use portable_atomic_util as arc;
#[cfg(target_has_atomic = "ptr")]
use alloc::sync as arc;
pub use arc::{Arc, Weak};
```
The benefits of this technique are three-fold:
1. For platforms without full atomic support, the functionality is
enabled automatically.
2. For platforms with atomic support, the dependency is never included,
even if a feature was enabled using `--all-features` (for example)
3. The `portable-atomic` feature no longer needs to virally spread to
all user-facing crates, it's instead something handled within
`bevy_platform_support` (with some extras where other dependencies also
need their features enabled).
# Objective
- Fixes#17960
## Solution
- Followed the [edition upgrade
guide](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/transitioning-an-existing-project-to-a-new-edition.html)
## Testing

## 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<...>`.
## Notes
- Check the individual commits for a clearer breakdown for what
_actually_ changed.

# Objective
- Contributes to #16877
## Solution
- Initial creation of `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `bevy_utils::Instant` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `portable-atomic`, `portable-atomic-util`, and
`critical-section` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Showcase
Instead of needing code like this to import an `Arc`:
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "portable-atomic")]
use portable_atomic_util::Arc;
#[cfg(not(feature = "portable-atomic"))]
use alloc::sync::Arc;
```
We can now use:
```rust
use bevy_platform_support::sync::Arc;
```
This applies to many other types, but the goal is overall the same:
allowing crates to use `std`-like types without the boilerplate of
conditional compilation and platform-dependencies.
## Migration Guide
- Replace imports of `bevy_utils::Instant` with
`bevy_platform_support::time::Instant`
- Replace imports of `bevy::utils::Instant` with
`bevy::platform_support::time::Instant`
## Notes
- `bevy_platform_support` hasn't been reserved on `crates.io`
- ~~`bevy_platform_support` is not re-exported from `bevy` at this time.
It may be worthwhile exporting this crate, but I am unsure of a
reasonable name to export it under (`platform_support` may be a bit
wordy for user-facing).~~
- I've included an implementation of `Instant` which is suitable for
`no_std` platforms that are not Wasm for the sake of eliminating feature
gates around its use. It may be a controversial inclusion, so I'm happy
to remove it if required.
- There are many other items (`spin`, `bevy_utils::Sync(Unsafe)Cell`,
etc.) which should be added to this crate. I have kept the initial scope
small to demonstrate utility without making this too unwieldy.

# Objective & Solution
- Update `downcast-rs` to the latest version, 2.
- Disable (new) `sync` feature to improve compatibility with atomically
challenged platforms.
- Remove stub `downcast-rs` alternative code from `bevy_app`
## Testing
- CI
## Notes
The only change from version 1 to version 2 is the addition of a new
`sync` feature, which allows disabling the `DowncastSync` parts of
`downcast-rs`, which require access to `alloc::sync::Arc`, which is not
available on atomically challenged platforms. Since Bevy makes no use of
the functionality provided by the `sync` feature, I've disabled it in
all crates. Further details can be found
[here](https://github.com/marcianx/downcast-rs/pull/22).
# Objective
- I'm compiling (parts of) bevy for an embedded platform with no 64bit
atomic and ctrlc handler support. Some compilation errors came up. This
PR contains the fixes for those.
- Fix depth_bias casting in PBR material (Fixes#14169)
- Negative depth_bias values were casted to 0 before this PR
- f32::INFINITY depth_bias value was casted to -1 before this PR
## Solutions
- Restrict 64bit atomic reflection to supported platforms
- Restrict ctrlc handler to supported platforms (linux, windows or macos
instead of "not wasm")
- The depth bias value (f32) is first casted to i32 then u64 in order to
preserve negative values
## Testing
- This version compiles on a platform with no 64bit atomic support, and
no ctrlc support
- CtrlC handler still works on Linux and Windows (I can't test on Macos)
- depth_bias:
```rust
println!("{}",f32::INFINITY as u64 as i32); // Prints: -1 (old implementation)
println!("{}",f32::INFINITY as i32 as u64 as i32); // Prints: 2147483647 (expected, new implementation)
```
Also ran a modified version of 3d_scene example with the following
results:
RED cube depth_bias: -1000.0
BLUE cube depth_bias: 0.0

RED cube depth_bias: -INF
BLUE cube depth_bias: 0.0

RED cube depth_bias: INF (case reported in #14169)
BLUE cube depth_bias: 0.0
(Im not completely sure whats going on with the shadows here, it seems
like depth_bias has some affect to those aswell, if this is
unintentional this issue was not introduced by this PR)

# Objective
- Fixes#16892
## Solution
- Removed `TypeRegistryPlugin` (`Name` is now automatically registered
with a default `App`)
- Moved `TaskPoolPlugin` to `bevy_app`
- Moved `FrameCountPlugin` to `bevy_diagnostic`
- Deleted now-empty `bevy_core`
## Testing
- CI
## Migration Guide
- `TypeRegistryPlugin` no longer exists. If you can't use a default
`App` but still need `Name` registered, do so manually with
`app.register_type::<Name>()`.
- References to `TaskPoolPlugin` and associated types will need to
import it from `bevy_app` instead of `bevy_core`
- References to `FrameCountPlugin` and associated types will need to
import it from `bevy_diagnostic` instead of `bevy_core`
## Notes
This strategy was agreed upon by Cart and several other members in
[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1319137218312278077).
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
## Solution
- Added the following features:
- `std` (default)
- `bevy_tasks` (default)
- `downcast ` (default)
- `portable-atomic`
- `critical-section`
- `downcast` and `bevy_tasks` are now optional dependencies for
`bevy_app`.
## Testing
- CI
- Personal UEFI and Raspberry Pi Pico demo applications compile and run
against this branch
## Draft Release Notes
Bevy's application framework now supports `no_std` platforms.
Following up on `bevy_ecs` gaining `no_std` support, `bevy_app` extends
the functionality available on these targets to include the powerful
`App` and `Plugin` abstractions. With this, library authors now have the
option of making their plugins `no_std` compatible, or even offering
plugins specifically to improve Bevy on certain embedded platforms!
To start making a `no_std` compatible plugin, simply disable default
features when including `bevy_app`:
```toml
[dependencies]
bevy_app = { version = "0.16", default-features = false }
```
We encourage library authors to do this anyway, as it can also help with
compile times and binary size on all platforms.
Keep an eye out for future `no_std` updates as we continue to improve
the parity between `std` and `no_std`. We look forward to seeing what
kinds of applications are now possible with Bevy!
## Notes
- `downcast-rs` is optional as it isn't compatible with
`portable-atomic`. I will investigate making a PR upstream to add
support for this functionality, as it should be very straightforward.
- In line with the `bevy_ecs` no-std-ification, I've added documentation
to all features, and grouped them as well.
- ~~Creating this PR in draft while CI runs and so I can polish before
review.~~

# Objective
Simplify the code by using `macro_rules` instead of a proc macro where
possible.
## Solution
Replace `impl_param_set` proc macro with a `macro_rules` macro.
# Objective
- Remove `derive_more`'s error derivation and replace it with
`thiserror`
## Solution
- Added `derive_more`'s `error` feature to `deny.toml` to prevent it
sneaking back in.
- Reverted to `thiserror` error derivation
## Notes
Merge conflicts were too numerous to revert the individual changes, so
this reversion was done manually. Please scrutinise carefully during
review.
# Objective
Fixes#15941
## Solution
Created https://crates.io/crates/variadics_please and moved the code
there; updating references
`bevy_utils/macros` is deleted.
## Testing
cargo check
## Migration Guide
Use `variadics_please::{all_tuples, all_tuples_with_size}` instead of
`bevy::utils::{all_tuples, all_tuples_with_size}`.
# Objective
#13152 added support for reflecting functions. Now, we need a way to
register those functions such that they may be accessed anywhere within
the ECS.
## Solution
Added a `FunctionRegistry` type similar to `TypeRegistry`.
This allows a function to be registered and retrieved by name.
```rust
fn foo() -> i32 {
123
}
let mut registry = FunctionRegistry::default();
registry.register("my_function", foo);
let function = registry.get_mut("my_function").unwrap();
let value = function.call(ArgList::new()).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&123));
```
Additionally, I added an `AppFunctionRegistry` resource which wraps a
`FunctionRegistryArc`. Functions can be registered into this resource
using `App::register_function` or by getting a mutable reference to the
resource itself.
### Limitations
#### `Send + Sync`
In order to get this registry to work across threads, it needs to be
`Send + Sync`. This means that `DynamicFunction` needs to be `Send +
Sync`, which means that its internal function also needs to be `Send +
Sync`.
In most cases, this won't be an issue because standard Rust functions
(the type most likely to be registered) are always `Send + Sync`.
Additionally, closures tend to be `Send + Sync` as well, granted they
don't capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables.
This PR adds this `Send + Sync` requirement, but as mentioned above, it
hopefully shouldn't be too big of an issue.
#### Closures
Unfortunately, closures can't be registered yet. This will likely be
explored and added in a followup PR.
### Future Work
Besides addressing the limitations listed above, another thing we could
look into is improving the lookup of registered functions. One aspect is
in the performance of hashing strings. The other is in the developer
experience of having to call `std::any::type_name_of_val` to get the
name of their function (assuming they didn't give it a custom name).
## Testing
You can run the tests locally with:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
---
## Changelog
- Added `FunctionRegistry`
- Added `AppFunctionRegistry` (a `Resource` available from `bevy_ecs`)
- Added `FunctionRegistryArc`
- Added `FunctionRegistrationError`
- Added `reflect_functions` feature to `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`
- `FunctionInfo` is no longer `Default`
- `DynamicFunction` now requires its wrapped function be `Send + Sync`
## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
`DynamicFunction` (both those created manually and those created with
`IntoFunction`), now require `Send + Sync`. All standard Rust functions
should meet that requirement. Closures, on the other hand, may not if
they capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables from its environment.
# Objective
- Fix issue #2611
## Solution
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to all the `rustdoc-args` arrays
in the `Cargo.toml`s (for docs.rs)
- Add `--generate-link-to-definition` to the `RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment
variable in the docs workflow (for dev-docs.bevyengine.org)
- Document all the workspace crates in the docs workflow (needed because
otherwise only the source code of the `bevy` package will be included,
making the argument useless)
- I think this also fixes#3662, since it fixes the bug on
dev-docs.bevyengine.org, while on docs.rs it has been fixed for a while
on their side.
---
## Changelog
- The source code viewer on docs.rs now includes links to the
definitions.

# Objective
Fixes#13995.
## Solution
Override the default `Ctrl+C` handler with one that sends `AppExit`
event to every app with `TerminalCtrlCHandlerPlugin`.
## Testing
Tested by running the `3d_scene` example and hitting `Ctrl+C` in the
terminal.
---
## Changelog
Handles `Ctrl+C` in the terminal gracefully.
## Migration Guide
If you are overriding the `Ctrl+C` handler then you should call
`TerminalCtrlCHandlerPlugin::gracefully_exit` from your handler. It will
tell the app to exit.
# Objective
There were some issues with the `serialize` feature:
- `bevy_app` had a `serialize` feature and a dependency on `serde` even
there is no usage of serde at all inside `bevy_app`
- the `bevy_app/serialize` feature enabled `bevy_ecs/serde`, which is
strange
- `bevy_internal/serialize` did not enable `bevy_app/serialize` so there
was no way of serializing an Entity in bevy 0.14
## Solution
- Remove `serde` and `bevy_app/serialize`
- Add a `serialize` flag on `bevy_ecs` that enables `serde`
- ` bevy_internal/serialize` now enables `bevy_ecs/serialize`
# Objective
After separating `bevy_states`, state installation methods like
`init_state` were kept in `bevy_app` under the `bevy_state` feature
flag.
This is problematic, because `bevy_state` is not a core module,
`bevy_app` is, yet it depends on `bevy_state`.
This causes practical problems like the inability to use
`bevy_hierarchy` inside `bevy_state`, because of circular dependencies.
## Solution
- `bevy_state` now has a `bevy_app` feature flag, which gates the new
`AppStateExt` trait.
All previous state installation methods were moved to this trait.
It's implemented for both `SubApp` and `App`.
## Changelog
- All state related app methods are now in `AppExtStates` trait in
`bevy_state`.
- Added `StatesPlugin` which is in `DefaultPlugins` when `bevy_state` is
enabled.
## Migration Guide
`App::init_state` is now provided by the
`bevy_state::app::AppExtStates;` trait: import it if you need this
method and are not blob-importing the `bevy` prelude.
# Objective
Extracts the state mechanisms into a new crate called "bevy_state".
This comes with a few goals:
- state wasn't really an inherent machinery of the ecs system, and so
keeping it within bevy_ecs felt forced
- by mixing it in with bevy_ecs, the maintainability of our more robust
state system was significantly compromised
moving state into a new crate makes it easier to encapsulate as it's own
feature, and easier to read and understand since it's no longer a
single, massive file.
## Solution
move the state-related elements from bevy_ecs to a new crate
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? all the automated tests
migrated and passed, ran the pre-existing examples without changes to
validate.
---
## Migration Guide
Since bevy_state is now gated behind the `bevy_state` feature, projects
that use state but don't use the `default-features` will need to add
that feature flag.
Since it is no longer part of bevy_ecs, projects that use bevy_ecs
directly will need to manually pull in `bevy_state`, trigger the
StateTransition schedule, and handle any of the elements that bevy_app
currently sets up.

# Objective
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
Fix#11931
## Solution
- Make stepping a non-default feature
- Adjust documentation and examples
- In particular, make the breakout example not show the stepping prompt
if compiled without the feature (shows a log message instead)
---
## Changelog
- Removed `bevy_debug_stepping` from default features
## Migration Guide
The system-by-system stepping feature is now disabled by default; to use
it, enable the `bevy_debug_stepping` feature explicitly:
```toml
[dependencies]
bevy = { version = "0.14", features = ["bevy_debug_stepping"] }
```
Code using
[`Stepping`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/ecs/schedule/struct.Stepping.html)
will still compile with the feature disabled, but will print a runtime
error message to the console if the application attempts to enable
stepping.

# Objective
- Move `PanicHandlerPlugin` into `bevy_app`
- Fixes#12603 .
## Solution
- I moved the `bevy_panic_handler` into `bevy_app`
- Copy pasted `bevy_panic_handler`'s lib.rs into a separate module in
`bevy_app` as a `panic_handler.rs` module file and added the
`PanicHandlerPlugin` in lib.rs of `bevy_app`
- added the dependency into `cargo.toml`
## Review notes
- I probably want some feedback if I imported App and Plugin correctly
in `panic_handler.rs` line 10 and 11.
- As of yet I have not deleted `bevy_panic_handler` crate, wanted to get
a check if I added it correctly.
- Once validated that my move was correct, I'll probably have to remove
the panic handler find default plugins which I probably need some help
to find.
- And then remove bevy panic_handler and making sure ci passes.
- This is my first issue for contributing to bevy so let me know if I am
doing anything wrong.
## tools context
- rust is 1.76 version
- Windows 11

# Objective
Fix missing `TextBundle` (and many others) which are present in the main
crate as default features but optional in the sub-crate. See:
- https://docs.rs/bevy/0.13.0/bevy/ui/node_bundles/index.html
- https://docs.rs/bevy_ui/0.13.0/bevy_ui/node_bundles/index.html
~~There are probably other instances in other crates that I could track
down, but maybe "all-features = true" should be used by default in all
sub-crates? Not sure.~~ (There were many.) I only noticed this because
rust-analyzer's "open docs" features takes me to the sub-crate, not the
main one.
## Solution
Add "all-features = true" to docs.rs metadata for crates that use
features.
## Changelog
### Changed
- Unified features documented on docs.rs between main crate and
sub-crates
# 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
- Resolves#11309
## Solution
- Add `bevy_dev_tools` crate as a default feature.
- Add `DevToolsPlugin` and add it to an app if the `bevy_dev_tools`
feature is enabled.
`bevy_dev_tools` is reserved by @alice-i-cecile, should we wait until it
gets transferred to cart before merging?

# Objective
Add interactive system debugging capabilities to bevy, providing
step/break/continue style capabilities to running system schedules.
* Original implementation: #8063
- `ignore_stepping()` everywhere was too much complexity
* Schedule-config & Resource discussion: #8168
- Decided on selective adding of Schedules & Resource-based control
## Solution
Created `Stepping` Resource. This resource can be used to enable
stepping on a per-schedule basis. Systems within schedules can be
individually configured to:
* AlwaysRun: Ignore any stepping state and run every frame
* NeverRun: Never run while stepping is enabled
- this allows for disabling of systems while debugging
* Break: If we're running the full frame, stop before this system is run
Stepping provides two modes of execution that reflect traditional
debuggers:
* Step-based: Only execute one system at a time
* Continue/Break: Run all systems, but stop before running a system
marked as Break
### Demo
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/857742/233630981-99f3bbda-9ca6-4cc4-a00f-171c4946dc47.mov
Breakout has been modified to use Stepping. The game runs normally for a
couple of seconds, then stepping is enabled and the game appears to
pause. A list of Schedules & Systems appears with a cursor at the first
System in the list. The demo then steps forward full frames using the
spacebar until the ball is about to hit a brick. Then we step system by
system as the ball impacts a brick, showing the cursor moving through
the individual systems. Finally the demo switches back to frame stepping
as the ball changes course.
### Limitations
Due to architectural constraints in bevy, there are some cases systems
stepping will not function as a user would expect.
#### Event-driven systems
Stepping does not support systems that are driven by `Event`s as events
are flushed after 1-2 frames. Although game systems are not running
while stepping, ignored systems are still running every frame, so events
will be flushed.
This presents to the user as stepping the event-driven system never
executes the system. It does execute, but the events have already been
flushed.
This can be resolved by changing event handling to use a buffer for
events, and only dropping an event once all readers have read it.
The work-around to allow these systems to properly execute during
stepping is to have them ignore stepping:
`app.add_systems(event_driven_system.ignore_stepping())`. This was done
in the breakout example to ensure sound played even while stepping.
#### Conditional Systems
When a system is stepped, it is given an opportunity to run. If the
conditions of the system say it should not run, it will not.
Similar to Event-driven systems, if a system is conditional, and that
condition is only true for a very small time window, then stepping the
system may not execute the system. This includes depending on any sort
of external clock.
This exhibits to the user as the system not always running when it is
stepped.
A solution to this limitation is to ensure any conditions are consistent
while stepping is enabled. For example, all systems that modify any
state the condition uses should also enable stepping.
#### State-transition Systems
Stepping is configured on the per-`Schedule` level, requiring the user
to have a `ScheduleLabel`.
To support state-transition systems, bevy generates needed schedules
dynamically. Currently it’s very difficult (if not impossible, I haven’t
verified) for the user to get the labels for these schedules.
Without ready access to the dynamically generated schedules, and a
resolution for the `Event` lifetime, **stepping of the state-transition
systems is not supported**
---
## Changelog
- `Schedule::run()` updated to consult `Stepping` Resource to determine
which Systems to run each frame
- Added `Schedule.label` as a `BoxedSystemLabel`, along with supporting
`Schedule::set_label()` and `Schedule::label()` methods
- `Stepping` needed to know which `Schedule` was running, and prior to
this PR, `Schedule` didn't track its own label
- Would have preferred to add `Schedule::with_label()` and remove
`Schedule::new()`, but this PR touches enough already
- Added calls to `Schedule.set_label()` to `App` and `World` as needed
- Added `Stepping` resource
- Added `Stepping::begin_frame()` system to `MainSchedulePlugin`
- Run before `Main::run_main()`
- Notifies any `Stepping` Resource a new render frame is starting
## Migration Guide
- Add a call to `Schedule::set_label()` for any custom `Schedule`
- This is only required if the `Schedule` will be stepped

# Objective
- Standardize fmt for toml files
## Solution
- Add [taplo](https://taplo.tamasfe.dev/) to CI (check for fmt and diff
for toml files), for context taplo is used by the most popular extension
in VScode [Even Better
TOML](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tamasfe.even-better-toml
- Add contribution section to explain toml fmt with taplo.
Now to pass CI you need to run `taplo fmt --option indent_string=" "` or
if you use vscode have the `Even Better TOML` extension with 4 spaces
for indent

## Changelog
- Bump rust version to 1.74
- Enable lints table for the workspace
```toml
[workspace.lints.clippy]
type_complexity = "allow"

# Objective
- Fix#8658
- `without_winit` example panics `thread 'Compute Task Pool (2)'
panicked at 'called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value',
crates/bevy_render/src/pipelined_rendering.rs:134:84`
## Solution
- In the default runner method `run_once`, correctly finish the
initialisation of the plugins. `run_once` can't be called twice so it's
ok to do it there
