# Objective
This PR enables `bevy_gizmos` to be used without `bevy_pbr`, for user
who want to create their custom mesh rendering logic.
It can also be useful for user who just want to use bevy for drawing
lines (why not).
This work is part of a bigger effort to make the bevy rendering pipeline
more modular. I would like to contribute an exemple to render custom
meshes without `bevy_pbr`. Something like
[this](https://github.com/rambip/plant-mesh/blob/main/src/shader/mod.rs)
## Solution
Now, `bevy_pbr` is an optional dependency, and used only to debug
lights.
I query the `ViewUniforms` manually, instead of using `bevy_pbr` to get
the heavy `MeshViewLayout`
## Testing
I'm not used to testing with bevy at all, but I was able to use
successfully in my project.
It might break for some different mesh pipelines, but I don't think so.
---
## Showcase
So nice ...
## Migration Guide
I don't think there is any breaking change
# Remaining work
Before merging it, it would be useful to:
- rewrite the `pipeline_2d.rs` logic to remove the `bevy_sprite`
depedency too
- move `view.rs` to `bevy_render`, so that it can be used in a more
modular way.

# 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
- Contributes to #11478
## Solution
- Made `bevy_utils::tracing` `doc(hidden)`
- Re-exported `tracing` from `bevy_log` for end-users
- Added `tracing` directly to crates that need it.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Migration Guide
If you were importing `tracing` via `bevy::utils::tracing`, instead use
`bevy::log::tracing`. Note that many items within `tracing` are also
directly re-exported from `bevy::log` as well, so you may only need
`bevy::log` for the most common items (e.g., `warn!`, `trace!`, etc.).
This also applies to the `log_once!` family of macros.
## Notes
- While this doesn't reduce the line-count in `bevy_utils`, it further
decouples the internal crates from `bevy_utils`, making its eventual
removal more feasible in the future.
- I have just imported `tracing` as we do for all dependencies. However,
a workspace dependency may be more appropriate for version management.
# Objective
- Fixes#16873
## Solution
- Added `GizmoLineStyle::Dashed {gap_scale, line_scale}`
- The `gap_scale` and `line_scale` describe the lengths of the gaps and
visible line-segments in terms of line-widths. For example, if
`gap_scale == 1.0` and `line_scale == 3.0` the gaps are square and the
the visible segments are three line-widths long.
- The new `GizmoLineStyle` can be used both in 3D and 2D and with both
perspective and orthographic cameras.
- Updated the `2d_gizmos` and `3d_gizmos` examples to include the new
line-style.
- Display a warning, when using negative `gap_scale` or `line_scale`.
- Notably, `Hash` and `Eq` are manually implemented for `GizmoLineStyle`
since both are not implemented for `f32` which prevents deriving these
traits for `GizmoLineStyle`.
## Testing
- The results can be verified visually
---
## Showcase
The following images depict dashed lines with `gap_scale == 3.0` and
`line_scale == 5.0` in perspective 3D and orthographic 2D.

# Objective
Fixes#16659
## Solution
- I just added all the `#[reflect(Component)]` attributes where
necessary.
## Testing
I wrote a small program that scans the bevy code for all structs and
enums that derive `Component` and `Reflect`, but don't have the
attribute `#[reflect(Component)]`.
I don't know if this testing program should be part of the testing suite
of bevy. It takes a bit of time to scan the whole codebase. In any case,
I've published it [here](https://github.com/anlumo/bevy-reflect-check).

# Objective
Add a way to use the gizmo API in a retained manner, for increased
performance.
## Solution
- Move gizmo API from `Gizmos` to `GizmoBuffer`, ~ab~using `Deref` to
keep usage the same as before.
- Merge non-strip and strip variant of `LineGizmo` into one, storing the
data in a `GizmoBuffer` to have the same API for retained `LineGizmo`s.
### Review guide
- The meat of the changes are in `lib.rs`, `retained.rs`, `gizmos.rs`,
`pipeline_3d.rs` and `pipeline_2d.rs`
- The other files contain almost exclusively the churn from moving the
gizmo API from `Gizmos` to `GizmoBuffer`
## Testing
### Performance
Performance compared to the immediate mode API is from 65 to 80 times
better for static lines.
```
7900 XTX, 3700X
1707.9k lines/ms: gizmos_retained (21.3ms)
3488.5k lines/ms: gizmos_retained_continuous_polyline (31.3ms)
0.5k lines/ms: gizmos_retained_separate (97.7ms)
3054.9k lines/ms: bevy_polyline_retained_nan (16.8ms)
3596.3k lines/ms: bevy_polyline_retained_continuous_polyline (14.2ms)
0.6k lines/ms: bevy_polyline_retained_separate (78.9ms)
26.9k lines/ms: gizmos_immediate (14.9ms)
43.8k lines/ms: gizmos_immediate_continuous_polyline (18.3ms)
```
Looks like performance is good enough, being close to par with
`bevy_polyline`.

## Showcase
```rust
fn setup(
mut commands: Commands,
mut gizmo_assets: ResMut<Assets<GizmoAsset>>
) {
let mut gizmo = GizmoAsset::default();
// A sphere made out of one million lines!
gizmo
.sphere(default(), 1., CRIMSON)
.resolution(1_000_000 / 3);
commands.spawn(Gizmo {
handle: gizmo_assets.add(gizmo),
..default()
});
}
```
## Follow-up work
- Port over to the retained rendering world proper
- Calculate visibility and cull `Gizmo`s
