# Objective
Add background colors for text.
Fixes#18889
## Solution
New component `TextBackgroundColor`, add it to any UI `Text` or
`TextSpan` entity to add a background color to its text.
New field on `TextLayoutInfo` `section_rects` holds the list of bounding
rects for each text section.
The bounding rects are generated in `TextPipeline::queue_text` during
text layout, `extract_text_background_colors` extracts the colored
background rects for rendering.
Didn't include `Text2d` support because of z-order issues.
The section rects can also be used to implement interactions targeting
individual text sections.
## Testing
Includes a basic example that can be used for testing:
```
cargo run --example text_background_colors
```

## Showcase
Using a proportional font with kerning the results aren't so tidy (since
the bounds of adjacent glyphs can overlap) but it still works fine:

# Objective
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.
## Solution
- Rename `bevy_platform_support` to `bevy_platform`.
# Objective
`queue_uinodes` looks up the `ExtractedView` for every extracted UI
node, but there's no need to look it up again if consecutive nodes have
the same `extracted_camera_entity`.
## Solution
In queue uinodes reuse the previously looked up extracted view if the
`extracted_camera_entity` doesn't change

# Objective
The sort key for the transparent UI phase is a (float32, u32) pair
consisting of the stack index and the render entity's index.
I guess the render entity index was intended to break ties but it's not
needed as the sort is stable. It also assumes the indices of the render
entities are generated sequentially, which isn't guaranteed.
Fixes the issues with the text wrap example seen in #18266
## Solution
Change the sort key to just use the stack index alone.
# Objective
`extract_text_shadows` was still using `UiTargetCamera` and
`DefaultUiCamera` for UI camera resolution, which no longer always
selects the right camera.
To see this modify the last lines of the `multiple_windows` example
from:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Text::new("First window"),
node.clone(),
// Since we are using multiple cameras, we need to specify which camera UI should be rendered to
UiTargetCamera(first_window_camera),
));
commands.spawn((
Text::new("Second window"),
node,
UiTargetCamera(second_window_camera),
));
```
to:
```rust
commands
.spawn((
node.clone(),
// Since we are using multiple cameras, we need to specify which camera UI should be rendered to
UiTargetCamera(first_window_camera),
))
.with_child((Text::new("First window"), TextShadow::default()));
commands
.spawn((node, UiTargetCamera(second_window_camera)))
.with_child((Text::new("Second window"), TextShadow::default()));
```
which results in the shadow that is meant to be displayed for the
"Second Window" label instead being written over the first:
<img width="800" alt="first_window_label"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2eebccba-5749-4064-bb1c-e4f25ff0baf7">
## Solution
Remove the `UiTargetCamera` query and the `default_camera` parameter
from `extract_text_shadows` and use `UiCameraMap` with
`ComputedNodeTarget` instead.
## Testing
The `multiple_windows` example for this PR has been updated to add text
shadow to the window labels. You should see that it displays the "Second
Window" label's shadow correctly now.
## 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
A `TransparentUI` phase's items all target the same camera so there is
no need to store the current camera entity in `UiBatch` and ending the
current `UiBatch` on camera changes is pointless as the camera doesn't
change.
## Solution
Remove the `camera` fields from `UiBatch`, `UiShadowsBatch` and
`UiTextureSliceBatch`.
Remove the camera changed check from `prepare_uinodes`.
## Testing
The `multiple_windows` and `split_screen` examples both render UI
elements to multiple cameras and can be used to test these changes.
The UI material plugin already didn't store the camera entity per batch
and worked fine without it.
# 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
- CI

## 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
There's no need for the `span_index` and `color` variables in
`extract_text_shadows` and `extract_text_sections` and we can remove one
of the span index comparisons since text colors are only set per
section.
## Testing

# Objective
It's difficult to understand or make changes to the UI systems because
of how each system needs to individually track changes to scale factor,
windows and camera targets in local hashmaps, particularly for new
contributors. Any major change inevitably introduces new scale factor
bugs.
Instead of per-system resolution we can resolve the camera target info
for all UI nodes in a system at the start of `PostUpdate` and then store
it per-node in components that can be queried with change detection.
Fixes#17578Fixes#15143
## Solution
Store the UI render target's data locally per node in a component that
is updated in `PostUpdate` before any other UI systems run.
This component can be then be queried with change detection so that UI
systems no longer need to have knowledge of cameras and windows and
don't require fragile custom change detection solutions using local
hashmaps.
## Showcase
Compare `measure_text_system` from main (which has a bug the causes it
to use the wrong scale factor when a node's camera target changes):
```
pub fn measure_text_system(
mut scale_factors_buffer: Local<EntityHashMap<f32>>,
mut last_scale_factors: Local<EntityHashMap<f32>>,
fonts: Res<Assets<Font>>,
camera_query: Query<(Entity, &Camera)>,
default_ui_camera: DefaultUiCamera,
ui_scale: Res<UiScale>,
mut text_query: Query<
(
Entity,
Ref<TextLayout>,
&mut ContentSize,
&mut TextNodeFlags,
&mut ComputedTextBlock,
Option<&UiTargetCamera>,
),
With<Node>,
>,
mut text_reader: TextUiReader,
mut text_pipeline: ResMut<TextPipeline>,
mut font_system: ResMut<CosmicFontSystem>,
) {
scale_factors_buffer.clear();
let default_camera_entity = default_ui_camera.get();
for (entity, block, content_size, text_flags, computed, maybe_camera) in &mut text_query {
let Some(camera_entity) = maybe_camera
.map(UiTargetCamera::entity)
.or(default_camera_entity)
else {
continue;
};
let scale_factor = match scale_factors_buffer.entry(camera_entity) {
Entry::Occupied(entry) => *entry.get(),
Entry::Vacant(entry) => *entry.insert(
camera_query
.get(camera_entity)
.ok()
.and_then(|(_, c)| c.target_scaling_factor())
.unwrap_or(1.0)
* ui_scale.0,
),
};
if last_scale_factors.get(&camera_entity) != Some(&scale_factor)
|| computed.needs_rerender()
|| text_flags.needs_measure_fn
|| content_size.is_added()
{
create_text_measure(
entity,
&fonts,
scale_factor.into(),
text_reader.iter(entity),
block,
&mut text_pipeline,
content_size,
text_flags,
computed,
&mut font_system,
);
}
}
core::mem::swap(&mut *last_scale_factors, &mut *scale_factors_buffer);
}
```
with `measure_text_system` from this PR (which always uses the correct
scale factor):
```
pub fn measure_text_system(
fonts: Res<Assets<Font>>,
mut text_query: Query<
(
Entity,
Ref<TextLayout>,
&mut ContentSize,
&mut TextNodeFlags,
&mut ComputedTextBlock,
Ref<ComputedNodeTarget>,
),
With<Node>,
>,
mut text_reader: TextUiReader,
mut text_pipeline: ResMut<TextPipeline>,
mut font_system: ResMut<CosmicFontSystem>,
) {
for (entity, block, content_size, text_flags, computed, computed_target) in &mut text_query {
// Note: the ComputedTextBlock::needs_rerender bool is cleared in create_text_measure().
if computed_target.is_changed()
|| computed.needs_rerender()
|| text_flags.needs_measure_fn
|| content_size.is_added()
{
create_text_measure(
entity,
&fonts,
computed_target.scale_factor.into(),
text_reader.iter(entity),
block,
&mut text_pipeline,
content_size,
text_flags,
computed,
&mut font_system,
);
}
}
}
```
## Testing
I removed an alarming number of tests from the `layout` module but they
were mostly to do with the deleted camera synchronisation logic. The
remaining tests should all pass now.
The most relevant examples are `multiple_windows` and `split_screen`,
the behaviour of both should be unchanged from main.

# 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.
# Objective
Basic `TextShadow` support.
## Solution
New `TextShadow` component with `offset` and `color` fields. Just insert
it on a `Text` node to add a shadow.
New system `extract_text_shadows` handles rendering.
It's not "real" shadows just the text redrawn with an offset and a
different colour. Blur-radius support will need changes to the shaders
and be a lot more complicated, whereas this still looks okay and took a
couple of minutes to implement.
I added the `TextShadow` component to `bevy_ui` rather than `bevy_text`
because it only supports the UI atm.
We can add a `Text2d` version in a followup but getting the same effect
in `Text2d` is trivial even without official support.
---

# Objective
Fixes#17561
## Solution
The anti-aliasing function used by the UI fragment shader is this:
```wgsl
fn antialias(distance: f32) -> f32 {
return saturate(0.5 - distance); // saturate clamps between 0 and 1
}
```
The returned value is multiplied with the alpha channel value to get the
anti-aliasing effect.
The `distance` is a signed distance value. A positive `distance` means
we are outside the shape we're drawing and a negative `distance` means
we are on the inside.
So with `distance` at `0` (on the edge of the shape):
```
antialias(0) = saturate(0.5 - 0) = saturate(0.5) = 0.5
```
but we want it to be `1` at this point, so the entire interior of the
shape is given a solid colour, and then decrease as the signed distance
increases.
So in this PR we change it to:
```wgsl
fn antialias(distance: f32) -> f32 {
return saturate(1. - distance);
}
```
Then:
```
antialias(-0.5) = saturate(1 - (-1)) = saturate(2) = 1
antialias(1) = saturate(1 - 0) = 1
antialias(0.5) = saturate(1 - 0.5) = 0.5
antialias(1) = saturate(1 - 1) = 0
```
as desired.
## Testing
```cargo run --example button```
On main:
<img width="400" alt="bleg" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/314994cb-4529-479d-b179-18e5c25f75bc" />
With this PR:
<img width="400" alt="bbwhite" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/072f481d-8b67-4fae-9a5f-765090d1713f" />
Modified the `button` example to draw a white background to make the bleeding more obvious.
# Objective
Two more optimisations for UI extraction:
* We only need to query for the camera's render entity when the target
camera changes. If the target camera is the same as for the previous UI
node we can use the previous render entity.
* The cheap checks for visibility and zero size should be performed
first before the camera queries.
## Solution
Add a new system param `UiCameraMap` that resolves the correct render
camera entity and only queries when necessary.
<img width="506" alt="tracee"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f57d1e0d-f3a7-49ee-8287-4f01ffc8ba24"
/>
I don't like the `UiCameraMap` + `UiCameraMapper` implementation very
much, maybe someone else can suggest a better construction.
This is partly motivated by #16942 which adds further indirection and
these changes would ameliorate that performance regression.
# Objective
I wrote a box shadow UI material naively thinking I could use the border
widths attribute to hold the border radius but it
doesn't work as the border widths are automatically set in the
extraction function. Need to send border radius to the shader seperately
for it to be viable.
## Solution
Add a `border_radius` vertex attribute to the ui material.
This PR also removes the normalization of border widths for custom UI
materials. The regular UI shader doesn't do this so it's a bit confusing
and means you can't use the logic from `ui.wgsl` in your custom UI
materials.
## Testing / Showcase
Made a change to the `ui_material` example to display border radius:
```cargo run --example ui_material```
<img width="569" alt="corners" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/36412736-a9ee-4042-aadd-68b9cafb17cb" />
# Objective
Bevy sprite image mode lacks proportional scaling for the underlying
texture. In many cases, it's required. For example, if it is desired to
support a wide variety of screens with a single texture, it's okay to
cut off some portion of the original texture.
## Solution
I added scaling of the texture during the preparation step. To fill the
sprite with the original texture, I scaled UV coordinates accordingly to
the sprite size aspect ratio and texture size aspect ratio. To fit
texture in a sprite the original `quad` is scaled and then the
additional translation is applied to place the scaled quad properly.
## Testing
For testing purposes could be used `2d/sprite_scale.rs`. Also, I am
thinking that it would be nice to have some tests for a
`crates/bevy_sprite/src/render/mod.rs:sprite_scale`.

# Objective
The `is_empty` checks that are meant to stop zero-sized uinodes from
being extracted are missing from `extract_uinode_background_colors`,
`extract_uinode_images` and `extract_ui_material_nodes`.
## Solution
Put them back.
# Objective
- Contributes to #16877
## Solution
- Moved `hashbrown`, `foldhash`, and related types out of `bevy_utils`
and into `bevy_platform_support`
- Refactored the above to match the layout of these types in `std`.
- Updated crates as required.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Migration Guide
- The following items were moved out of `bevy_utils` and into
`bevy_platform_support::hash`:
- `FixedState`
- `DefaultHasher`
- `RandomState`
- `FixedHasher`
- `Hashed`
- `PassHash`
- `PassHasher`
- `NoOpHash`
- The following items were moved out of `bevy_utils` and into
`bevy_platform_support::collections`:
- `HashMap`
- `HashSet`
- `bevy_utils::hashbrown` has been removed. Instead, import from
`bevy_platform_support::collections` _or_ take a dependency on
`hashbrown` directly.
- `bevy_utils::Entry` has been removed. Instead, import from
`bevy_platform_support::collections::hash_map` or
`bevy_platform_support::collections::hash_set` as appropriate.
- All of the above equally apply to `bevy::utils` and
`bevy::platform_support`.
## Notes
- I left `PreHashMap`, `PreHashMapExt`, and `TypeIdMap` in `bevy_utils`
as they might be candidates for micro-crating. They can always be moved
into `bevy_platform_support` at a later date if desired.
# Objective
The UI can only target a single view and doesn't support `RenderLayers`,
so there doesn't seem to be any need for UI nodes to require
`ViewVisibility` and `VisibilityClass`.
Fixes#17400
## Solution
Remove the `ViewVisibility` and `VisibilityClass` component requires
from `Node` and change the visibility queries to only query for
`InheritedVisibility`.

# Objective
`bevy_ecs`'s `system` module is something of a grab bag, and *very*
large. This is particularly true for the `system_param` module, which is
more than 2k lines long!
While it could be defensible to put `Res` and `ResMut` there (lol no
they're in change_detection.rs, obviously), it doesn't make any sense to
put the `Resource` trait there. This is confusing to navigate (and
painful to work on and review).
## Solution
- Create a root level `bevy_ecs/resource.rs` module to mirror
`bevy_ecs/component.rs`
- move the `Resource` trait to that module
- move the `Resource` derive macro to that module as well (Rust really
likes when you pun on the names of the derive macro and trait and put
them in the same path)
- fix all of the imports
## Notes to reviewers
- We could probably move more stuff into here, but I wanted to keep this
PR as small as possible given the absurd level of import changes.
- This PR is ground work for my upcoming attempts to store resource data
on components (resources-as-entities). Splitting this code out will make
the work and review a bit easier, and is the sort of overdue refactor
that's good to do as part of more meaningful work.
## Testing
cargo build works!
## Migration Guide
`bevy_ecs::system::Resource` has been moved to
`bevy_ecs::resource::Resource`.
# Objective
Fixes#14970
## Solution
It seems the clamp call in `ui.wgsl` had the parameters order incorrect.
## Testing
Tested using examples/ui in native and my current project in wasm - both
in linux.
Could use some help with testing in other platforms.
---
# Objective
The existing `RelationshipSourceCollection` uses `Vec` as the only
possible backing for our relationships. While a reasonable choice,
benchmarking use cases might reveal that a different data type is better
or faster.
For example:
- Not all relationships require a stable ordering between the
relationship sources (i.e. children). In cases where we a) have many
such relations and b) don't care about the ordering between them, a hash
set is likely a better datastructure than a `Vec`.
- The number of children-like entities may be small on average, and a
`smallvec` may be faster
## Solution
- Implement `RelationshipSourceCollection` for `EntityHashSet`, our
custom entity-optimized `HashSet`.
-~~Implement `DoubleEndedIterator` for `EntityHashSet` to make things
compile.~~
- This implementation was cursed and very surprising.
- Instead, by moving the iterator type on `RelationshipSourceCollection`
from an erased RPTIT to an explicit associated type we can add a trait
bound on the offending methods!
- Implement `RelationshipSourceCollection` for `SmallVec`
## Testing
I've added a pair of new tests to make sure this pattern compiles
successfully in practice!
## Migration Guide
`EntityHashSet` and `EntityHashMap` are no longer re-exported in
`bevy_ecs::entity` directly. If you were not using `bevy_ecs` / `bevy`'s
`prelude`, you can access them through their now-public modules,
`hash_set` and `hash_map` instead.
## Notes to reviewers
The `EntityHashSet::Iter` type needs to be public for this impl to be
allowed. I initially renamed it to something that wasn't ambiguous and
re-exported it, but as @Victoronz pointed out, that was somewhat
unidiomatic.
In
1a8564898f,
I instead made the `entity_hash_set` public (and its `entity_hash_set`)
sister public, and removed the re-export. I prefer this design (give me
module docs please), but it leads to a lot of churn in this PR.
Let me know which you'd prefer, and if you'd like me to split that
change out into its own micro PR.
# Objective
It's not immediately obvious that `TargetCamera` only works with UI node
entities. It's natural to assume from looking at something like the
`multiple_windows` example that it will work with everything.
## Solution
Rename `TargetCamera` to `UiTargetCamera`.
## Migration Guide
`TargetCamera` has been renamed to `UiTargetCamera`.
# Objective
UI node Outlines are clipped using their parent's clipping rect instead
of their own.
## Solution
Clip outlines using the UI node's own clipping rect.
This commit allows Bevy to use `multi_draw_indirect_count` for drawing
meshes. The `multi_draw_indirect_count` feature works just like
`multi_draw_indirect`, but it takes the number of indirect parameters
from a GPU buffer rather than specifying it on the CPU.
Currently, the CPU constructs the list of indirect draw parameters with
the instance count for each batch set to zero, uploads the resulting
buffer to the GPU, and dispatches a compute shader that bumps the
instance count for each mesh that survives culling. Unfortunately, this
is inefficient when we support `multi_draw_indirect_count`. Draw
commands corresponding to meshes for which all instances were culled
will remain present in the list when calling
`multi_draw_indirect_count`, causing overhead. Proper use of
`multi_draw_indirect_count` requires eliminating these empty draw
commands.
To address this inefficiency, this PR makes Bevy fully construct the
indirect draw commands on the GPU instead of on the CPU. Instead of
writing instance counts to the draw command buffer, the mesh
preprocessing shader now writes them to a separate *indirect metadata
buffer*. A second compute dispatch known as the *build indirect
parameters* shader runs after mesh preprocessing and converts the
indirect draw metadata into actual indirect draw commands for the GPU.
The build indirect parameters shader operates on a batch at a time,
rather than an instance at a time, and as such each thread writes only 0
or 1 indirect draw parameters, simplifying the current logic in
`mesh_preprocessing`, which currently has to have special cases for the
first mesh in each batch. The build indirect parameters shader emits
draw commands in a tightly packed manner, enabling maximally efficient
use of `multi_draw_indirect_count`.
Along the way, this patch switches mesh preprocessing to dispatch one
compute invocation per render phase per view, instead of dispatching one
compute invocation per view. This is preparation for two-phase occlusion
culling, in which we will have two mesh preprocessing stages. In that
scenario, the first mesh preprocessing stage must only process opaque
and alpha tested objects, so the work items must be separated into those
that are opaque or alpha tested and those that aren't. Thus this PR
splits out the work items into a separate buffer for each phase. As this
patch rewrites so much of the mesh preprocessing infrastructure, it was
simpler to just fold the change into this patch instead of deferring it
to the forthcoming occlusion culling PR.
Finally, this patch changes mesh preprocessing so that it runs
separately for indexed and non-indexed meshes. This is because draw
commands for indexed and non-indexed meshes have different sizes and
layouts. *The existing code is actually broken for non-indexed meshes*,
as it attempts to overlay the indirect parameters for non-indexed meshes
on top of those for indexed meshes. Consequently, right now the
parameters will be read incorrectly when multiple non-indexed meshes are
multi-drawn together. *This is a bug fix* and, as with the change to
dispatch phases separately noted above, was easiest to include in this
patch as opposed to separately.
## Migration Guide
* Systems that add custom phase items now need to populate the indirect
drawing-related buffers. See the `specialized_mesh_pipeline` example for
an example of how this is done.
We won't be able to retain render phases from frame to frame if the keys
are unstable. It's not as simple as simply keying off the main world
entity, however, because some main world entities extract to multiple
render world entities. For example, directional lights extract to
multiple shadow cascades, and point lights extract to one view per
cubemap face. Therefore, we key off a new type, `RetainedViewEntity`,
which contains the main entity plus a *subview ID*.
This is part of the preparation for retained bins.

# Objective
The `camera_entity` field on the extracted uinode structs holds the
render world entity that has the extracted camera components
corresponding to the target camera world entity. It should be renamed so
that it's clear it isn't the target camera world entity itself.
## Solution
Rename the `camera_entity` field on each of the extracted UI item
structs to `extracted_camera_entity`.
# Objective
Many instances of `clippy::too_many_arguments` linting happen to be on
systems - functions which we don't call manually, and thus there's not
much reason to worry about the argument count.
## Solution
Allow `clippy::too_many_arguments` globally, and remove all lint
attributes related to it.
# Objective
`extract_shadows` uses the render world entity corresponding to the
extracted camera when it queries the main world for the camera to get
the viewport size for the responsive viewport coords resolution and
fails. This means that viewport coords get resolved based on a viewport
size of zero.
## Solution
Use the main world camera entity.
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111
## Solution
Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and
`clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `deny`, and bring
`bevy_ui` in line with the new restrictions.
## Testing
`cargo clippy --tests` and `cargo test --package bevy_ui` were run, and
no errors were encountered.
# Objective
The name `DefaultCameraView` is confusing and misleading:
* It isn't the default UI camera, which is either the camera with the
`IsDefaultUiCamera` marker component or, if no such camera is found, the
camera with the highest order which has the primary window as its render
target.
* It doesn't make sense to call it a "default", every active 2d and 3d
camera is given its own `DefaultCameraView`.
* The name doesn't make it clear that it's UI specific component.
## Solution
Rename `DefaultCameraView` to `UiCameraView`, add a doc comment for it
and rename a few other fields and variables.
## Migration Guide
`DefaultCameraView` has been renamed to `UiCameraView`
# Objective
- Allow other crates to use `TextureAtlas` and friends without needing
to depend on `bevy_sprite`.
- Specifically, this allows adding `TextureAtlas` support to custom
cursors in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17121 by allowing
`bevy_winit` to depend on `bevy_image` instead of `bevy_sprite` which is
a [non-starter].
[non-starter]:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17121#discussion_r1904955083
## Solution
- Move `TextureAtlas`, `TextureAtlasBuilder`, `TextureAtlasSources`,
`TextureAtlasLayout` and `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder` into `bevy_image`.
- Add a new plugin to `bevy_image` named `TextureAtlasPlugin` which
allows us to register `TextureAtlas` and `TextureAtlasLayout` which was
previously done in `SpritePlugin`. Since `SpritePlugin` did the
registration previously, we just need to make it add
`TextureAtlasPlugin`.
## Testing
- CI builds it.
- I also ran multiple examples which hopefully covered any issues:
```
$ cargo run --example sprite
$ cargo run --example text
$ cargo run --example ui_texture_atlas
$ cargo run --example sprite_animation
$ cargo run --example sprite_sheet
$ cargo run --example sprite_picking
```
---
## Migration Guide
The following types have been moved from `bevy_sprite` to `bevy_image`:
`TextureAtlas`, `TextureAtlasBuilder`, `TextureAtlasSources`,
`TextureAtlasLayout` and `DynamicTextureAtlasBuilder`.
If you are using the `bevy` crate, and were importing these types
directly (e.g. before `use bevy::sprite::TextureAtlas`), be sure to
update your import paths (e.g. after `use bevy::image::TextureAtlas`)
If you are using the `bevy` prelude to import these types (e.g. `use
bevy::prelude::*`), you don't need to change anything.
If you are using the `bevy_sprite` subcrate, be sure to add `bevy_image`
as a dependency if you do not already have it, and be sure to update
your import paths.
# Objective
In UI extraction the default UI camera is queried for every UI node. It
only needs to be retrieved once.
## Solution
Query for the default UI camera once before iterating the UI nodes.
```
cargo run --example many_buttons --release --features "trace_tracy"
```
<img width="631" alt="default-camera-extract"

/>
`extract_uinode_background_colors` yellow is this PR, red is main.
# 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
The UI debug overlay draws an outline for every UI node even if it is
invisible or clipped.
Disable debug outlines for hidden and clipped nodes by default and add
options to renable them if needed.
## Solution
* Add `show_hidden` and `show_clipped` fields to `UiDebugOptions`:
```rust
/// Show outlines for non-visible UI nodes
pub show_hidden: bool,
/// Show outlines for clipped sections of UI nodes
pub show_clipped: bool,
```
* Only extract debug outlines for hidden and clipped UI nodes if the
respective field in `UiDebugOptions` is set to `true`.
## Testing
Also added some extra features to the `testbed_ui` example that
demonstrate the new options:
cargo run --example testbed_ui --features "bevy_ui_debug"
<img width="641" alt="show-hidden-and-clipped"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/16a68600-170c-469e-a3c7-f7dae411dc40"
/>
# Objective
Remove the `atlas_scaling` field from `ExtractedUiItem::Gylphs`.
It's only ever set to `Vec2::ONE`. I don't remember why/if this field
was ever needed, maybe it was useful before the scale factor clean up.
## Migration Guide
The `atlas_scaling` field from `ExtractedUiItem::Gylphs` has been
removed. This shouldn't affect any existing code as it wasn't used for
anything.
# Objective
When preparing `GpuImage`s, we currently discard the
`depth_or_array_layers` of the `Image`'s size by converting it into a
`UVec2`.
Fixes#16715.
## Solution
Change `GpuImage::size` to `Extent3d`, and just pass that through when
creating `GpuImage`s.
Also copy the `aspect_ratio`, and `size` (now `size_2d` for
disambiguation from the field) functions from `Image` to `GpuImage` for
ease of use with 2D textures.
I originally copied all size-related functions (like `width`, and
`height`), but i think they are unnecessary considering how visible the
`size` field on `GpuImage` is compared to `Image`.
## Testing
Tested via `cargo r -p ci` for everything except docs, when generating
docs it keeps spitting out a ton of
```
error[E0554]: `#![feature]` may not be used on the stable release channel
--> crates/bevy_dylib/src/lib.rs:1:21
|
1 | #![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_auto_cfg))]
|
```
Not sure why this is happening, but it also happens without my changes,
so it's almost certainly some strange issue specific to my machine.
## Migration Guide
- `GpuImage::size` is now an `Extent3d`. To easily get 2D size, use
`size_2d()`.
# Objective
Fixes#16771
## Solution
Fixed typo in code.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
I tested on my own example, that I included in the issue. It was
behaving as I expected.
Here is the screenshot after fix, the screenshot before the fix can be
found in the issue.
# Objective
The doc comments and function namings for `BorderRect` feel imprecise to
me. Particularly the `square` function which is used to define a uniform
`BorderRect` with equal widths on each edge. But this is potentially
confusing since this "square" border could be around an oblong shape.
Using "padding" to refer to the border extents seems undesirable too
since "padding" is typically used to refer to the area between border
and content, not the border itself.
## Solution
* Rename `square` to `all` (this matches the name of the similar method
on `UiRect`).
* Rename `rectangle` to `axes` (this matches the name of the similar
method on `UiRect`).
* Update doc comments.
## Migration Guide
The `square` and `rectangle` functions belonging to `BorderRect` have
been renamed to `all` and `axes`.

# Objective
Draw the UI debug overlay using the UI renderer.
Significantly simpler and easier to use than
`bevy_dev_tools::ui_debug_overlay` which uses `bevy_gizmos`.
* Supports multiple windows and UI rendered to texture.
* Draws rounded debug rects for rounded UI nodes.
Fixes#16666
## Solution
Removed the `ui_debug_overlay` module from `bevy_dev_tools`.
Added a `bevy_ui_debug` feature gate.
Draw the UI debug overlay using the UI renderer.
Adds a new module `bevy_ui::render::debug_overlay`.
The debug overlay extraction function queries for the existing UI layout
and then adds a border around each UI node with `u32::MAX / 2` added to
each stack index so it's drawn on top.
There is a `UiDebugOptions` resource that can be used to enable or
disable the debug overlay and set the line width.
## Testing
The `testbed_ui` example has been changed to use the new debug overlay:
```
cargo run --example testbed_ui --features bevy_ui_debug
```
Press Space to toggle the debug overlay on and off.

## Migration Guide
The `ui_debug_overlay` module has been removed from `bevy_dev_tools`.
There is a new debug overlay implemented using the `bevy_ui` renderer.
To use it, enable the `bevy_ui_debug` feature and set the `enable` field
of the `UiDebugOptions` resource to `true`.
This commit adds support for *multidraw*, which is a feature that allows
multiple meshes to be drawn in a single drawcall. `wgpu` currently
implements multidraw on Vulkan, so this feature is only enabled there.
Multiple meshes can be drawn at once if they're in the same vertex and
index buffers and are otherwise placed in the same bin. (Thus, for
example, at present the materials and textures must be identical, but
see #16368.) Multidraw is a significant performance improvement during
the draw phase because it reduces the number of rebindings, as well as
the number of drawcalls.
This feature is currently only enabled when GPU culling is used: i.e.
when `GpuCulling` is present on a camera. Therefore, if you run for
example `scene_viewer`, you will not see any performance improvements,
because `scene_viewer` doesn't add the `GpuCulling` component to its
camera.
Additionally, the multidraw feature is only implemented for opaque 3D
meshes and not for shadows or 2D meshes. I plan to make GPU culling the
default and to extend the feature to shadows in the future. Also, in the
future I suspect that polyfilling multidraw on APIs that don't support
it will be fruitful, as even without driver-level support use of
multidraw allows us to avoid expensive `wgpu` rebindings.
# Objective
The `UiBoxShadowSamples` resource should be renamed to
`BoxShadowSamples` so it matches the `BoxShadow` component.
## Migration Guide
`UiBoxShadowSamples` has been renamed to `BoxShadowSamples`
This patch adds the infrastructure necessary for Bevy to support
*bindless resources*, by adding a new `#[bindless]` attribute to
`AsBindGroup`.
Classically, only a single texture (or sampler, or buffer) can be
attached to each shader binding. This means that switching materials
requires breaking a batch and issuing a new drawcall, even if the mesh
is otherwise identical. This adds significant overhead not only in the
driver but also in `wgpu`, as switching bind groups increases the amount
of validation work that `wgpu` must do.
*Bindless resources* are the typical solution to this problem. Instead
of switching bindings between each texture, the renderer instead
supplies a large *array* of all textures in the scene up front, and the
material contains an index into that array. This pattern is repeated for
buffers and samplers as well. The renderer now no longer needs to switch
binding descriptor sets while drawing the scene.
Unfortunately, as things currently stand, this approach won't quite work
for Bevy. Two aspects of `wgpu` conspire to make this ideal approach
unacceptably slow:
1. In the DX12 backend, all binding arrays (bindless resources) must
have a constant size declared in the shader, and all textures in an
array must be bound to actual textures. Changing the size requires a
recompile.
2. Changing even one texture incurs revalidation of all textures, a
process that takes time that's linear in the total size of the binding
array.
This means that declaring a large array of textures big enough to
encompass the entire scene is presently unacceptably slow. For example,
if you declare 4096 textures, then `wgpu` will have to revalidate all
4096 textures if even a single one changes. This process can take
multiple frames.
To work around this problem, this PR groups bindless resources into
small *slabs* and maintains a free list for each. The size of each slab
for the bindless arrays associated with a material is specified via the
`#[bindless(N)]` attribute. For instance, consider the following
declaration:
```rust
#[derive(AsBindGroup)]
#[bindless(16)]
struct MyMaterial {
#[buffer(0)]
color: Vec4,
#[texture(1)]
#[sampler(2)]
diffuse: Handle<Image>,
}
```
The `#[bindless(N)]` attribute specifies that, if bindless arrays are
supported on the current platform, each resource becomes a binding array
of N instances of that resource. So, for `MyMaterial` above, the `color`
attribute is exposed to the shader as `binding_array<vec4<f32>, 16>`,
the `diffuse` texture is exposed to the shader as
`binding_array<texture_2d<f32>, 16>`, and the `diffuse` sampler is
exposed to the shader as `binding_array<sampler, 16>`. Inside the
material's vertex and fragment shaders, the applicable index is
available via the `material_bind_group_slot` field of the `Mesh`
structure. So, for instance, you can access the current color like so:
```wgsl
// `uniform` binding arrays are a non-sequitur, so `uniform` is automatically promoted
// to `storage` in bindless mode.
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
...
}
```
Note that portable shader code can't guarantee that the current platform
supports bindless textures. Indeed, bindless mode is only available in
Vulkan and DX12. The `BINDLESS` shader definition is available for your
use to determine whether you're on a bindless platform or not. Thus a
portable version of the shader above would look like:
```wgsl
#ifdef BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<storage> material_color: binding_array<Color, 4>;
#else // BINDLESS
@group(2) @binding(0) var<uniform> material_color: Color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
@fragment
fn fragment(in: VertexOutput) -> @location(0) vec4<f32> {
#ifdef BINDLESS
let color = material_color[mesh[in.instance_index].material_bind_group_slot];
#else // BINDLESS
let color = material_color;
#endif // BINDLESS
...
}
```
Importantly, this PR *doesn't* update `StandardMaterial` to be bindless.
So, for example, `scene_viewer` will currently not run any faster. I
intend to update `StandardMaterial` to use bindless mode in a follow-up
patch.
A new example, `shaders/shader_material_bindless`, has been added to
demonstrate how to use this new feature.
Here's a Tracy profile of `submit_graph_commands` of this patch and an
additional patch (not submitted yet) that makes `StandardMaterial` use
bindless. Red is those patches; yellow is `main`. The scene was Bistro
Exterior with a hack that forces all textures to opaque. You can see a
1.47x mean speedup.
## Migration Guide
* `RenderAssets::prepare_asset` now takes an `AssetId` parameter.
* Bin keys now have Bevy-specific material bind group indices instead of
`wgpu` material bind group IDs, as part of the bindless change. Use the
new `MaterialBindGroupAllocator` to map from bind group index to bind
group ID.
