# Objective
- Fixes#16959
- The `pbr.rs` example in the 3d section panicked because of the changes
in #16638, that was not supposed to happen
## Solution
- For now it's sufficient to introduce a `never_param_warn` call when
adding the fallible system into the app
## Testing
- Tested on my machine via `cargo r --example pbr`, it built and ran
successfully

A previous PR, #14599, attempted to enable lightmaps in deferred mode,
but it still used the `OpaqueNoLightmap3dBinKey`, which meant that it
would be broken if multiple lightmaps were used. This commit fixes that
issue, and allows bindless lightmaps to work with deferred rendering as
well.
# Objective
Fixes#16978
While testing, discovered that the morph weight interface in
`scene_viewer` has been broken for a while (panics when loaded model has
morph weights), probably since #15591. Fixed that too.
While testing, saw example text in morph interface with [wrong
padding](https://bevyengine.org/learn/contribute/helping-out/creating-examples/#visual-guidelines).
Fixed that too. Left the small font size because there may be a lot of
morphs to display, so that seems intentional.
## Solution
Use normal queries and bail early
## Testing
Morph interface can be tested with
```
cargo run --example scene_viewer assets/models/animated/MorphStressTest.gltf
```
## Discussion
I noticed that this fix is different than what is happening in #16976.
Feel free to discard this for an alternative fix. I opened this anyway
to document the issue with morph weight display.
This is on top of #16966 which is required to test.

# Objective
With the introduction of bevy_input_focus, the uses of "focus" in
bevy_picking are quite confusing and make searching hard.
Users will intuitively think these concepts are related, but they
actually aren't.
## Solution
Rename / rephrase all uses of "focus" in bevy_picking to refer to
"hover", since this is ultimately related to creating the `HoverMap`.
## Migration Guide
Various terms related to "focus" in `bevy_picking` have been renamed to
refer to "hover" to avoid confusion with `bevy_input_focus`. In
particular:
- The `update_focus` system has been renamed to `generate_hovermap`
- `PickSet::Focus` and `PostFocus` have been renamed to `Hover` and
`PostHover`
- The `bevy_picking::focus` module has been renamed to
`bevy_picking::hover`
- The `is_focus_enabled` field on `PickingPlugin` has been renamed to
`is_hover_enabled`
- The `focus_should_run` run condition has been renamed to
`hover_should_run`
# Objective
Fixes: #16578
## Solution
This is a patch fix, proper fix requires a breaking change.
Added `Panic` enum variant and using is as the system meta default.
Warn once behavior can be enabled same way disabling panic (originally
disabling wans) is.
To fix an issue with the current architecture, where **all** combinator
system params get checked together,
combinator systems only check params of the first system.
This will result in old, panicking behavior on subsequent systems and
will be fixed in 0.16.
## Testing
Ran unit tests and `fallible_params` example.

# Objective
- Our benchmarks and `compile_fail` tests lag behind the rest of the
engine because they are not in the Cargo workspace, so not checked by
CI.
- Fixes#16801, please see it for further context!
## Solution
- Add benchmarks and `compile_fail` tests to the Cargo workspace.
- Fix any leftover formatting issues and documentation.
## Testing
- I think CI should catch most things!
## Questions
<details>
<summary>Outdated issue I was having with function reflection being
optional</summary>
The `reflection_types` example is failing in Rust-Analyzer for me, but
not a normal check.
```rust
error[E0004]: non-exhaustive patterns: `ReflectRef::Function(_)` not covered
--> examples/reflection/reflection_types.rs:81:11

|
```
I think it is because the following line is feature-gated:
cc0f6a8db4/examples/reflection/reflection_types.rs (L117-L122)
My theory for why this is happening is because the benchmarks enabled
`bevy_reflect`'s `function` feature, which gets merged with the rest of
the features when RA checks the workspace, but the `#[cfg(...)]` gate in
the example isn't detecting it:
cc0f6a8db4/benches/Cargo.toml (L19)
Any thoughts on how to fix this? It's not blocking, since the example
still compiles as normal, but it's just RA and the command `cargo check
--workspace --all-targets` appears to fail.
</summary>
# Objective
Add a benchmark that captures performance with a removed UI layout where
the root node is set to `Display::None`.
# Solution
Added a `display-none` commandline argument to the `many_buttons`
example. When used `display-none` sets the `display` field of the root
node to `Display::None`.
# Testing
```
cargo run --example many_buttons -- --display-none
```
Which displays nothing, as desired.
# 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
- 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
Allow handling of dead keys on some keyboard layouts.
In some cases, dead keys were impossible to get using the
`KeyboardInput` event. This information is already present in the
underlying winit `KeyEvent`, but it wasn't exposed.
## Solution
Expose the `text` field from winit's `KeyEvent` in `KeyboardInput`.
This logic is inspired egui's implementation here:
adfc0bebfc/crates/egui-winit/src/lib.rs (L790-L807)
## Testing
This is a new field, so it shouldn't break any existing functionality. I
tested that this change works by running the modified `text_input`
example on different keyboard layouts.
## Example
Using a Portuguese/ABNT2 keyboard layout on windows and pressing
<kbd>\~</kbd> followed by
<kbd>a</kbd>/<kbd>Space</kbd>/<kbd>d</kbd>/<kbd>\~</kbd> now generates
the following events:
```
KeyboardInput { key_code: Quote, logical_key: Dead(Some('~')), state: Pressed, text: None, repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: KeyA, logical_key: Character("ã"), state: Pressed, text: Some("ã"), repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: Quote, logical_key: Dead(Some('~')), state: Pressed, text: None, repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: Space, logical_key: Space, state: Pressed, text: Some("~"), repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: Quote, logical_key: Dead(Some('~')), state: Pressed, text: None, repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: KeyD, logical_key: Character("d"), state: Pressed, text: Some("~d"), repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: Quote, logical_key: Dead(Some('~')), state: Pressed, text: None, repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
KeyboardInput { key_code: Quote, logical_key: Dead(Some('~')), state: Pressed, text: Some("~~"), repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
```
The logic for getting an input is pretty simple: check if `text` is
`Some`. If it is, this is actual input text, otherwise it isn't.
There's a small caveat: certain keys generate control characters in the
input text, which needs to be filtered out:
```
KeyboardInput { key_code: Escape, logical_key: Escape, state: Pressed, text: Some("\u{1b}"), repeat: false, window: 0v1#4294967296 }
```
I've updated the text_input example to include egui's solution to this,
which works well.
## Migration Guide
The `KeyboardInput` event now has a new `text` field.
# Objective
Rust-Analyzer was reporting problems with dead code in the 3d testbed
scene.
## Solution
These scenes don't work in CI on the Windows runner (because they're too
weak).
Mirror the feature flags from above onto the offending modules.
## Testing
RA no longer complains.
# Objective
I have something of a niche use case. I have a camera rendering pixel
art with a scale factor set, and another camera that renders to an
off-screen texture which is supposed to match the main camera exactly.
However, when computing camera target info, Bevy [hardcodes a scale
factor of
1.0](116c2b02fe/crates/bevy_render/src/camera/camera.rs (L828))
for image targets which means that my main camera and my image target
camera get different `OrthographicProjections` calculated.
## Solution
This PR adds an `ImageRenderTarget` struct which allows scale factors to
be specified.
## Testing
I tested the affected examples on macOS and they still work. This is an
additive change and should not break any existing code, apart from what
is trivially fixable by following compiler error messages.
---
## Migration Guide
`RenderTarget::Image` now takes an `ImageRenderTarget` instead of a
`Handle<Image>`. You can call `handle.into()` to construct an
`ImageRenderTarget` using the same settings as before.
# 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()`.
Currently, `check_visibility` is parameterized over a query filter that
specifies the type of potentially-visible object. This has the
unfortunate side effect that we need a separate system,
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`, to trigger view
visibility change detection. That system is quite slow because it must
iterate sequentially over all entities in the scene.
This PR moves the query filter from `check_visibility` to a new
component, `VisibilityClass`. `VisibilityClass` stores a list of type
IDs, each corresponding to one of the query filters we used to use.
Because `check_visibility` is no longer specialized to the query filter
at the type level, Bevy now only needs to invoke it once, leading to
better performance as `check_visibility` can do change detection on the
fly rather than delegating it to a separate system.
This commit also has ergonomic improvements, as there's no need for
applications that want to add their own custom renderable components to
add specializations of the `check_visibility` system to the schedule.
Instead, they only need to ensure that the `ViewVisibility` component is
properly kept up to date. The recommended way to do this, and the way
that's demonstrated in the `custom_phase_item` and
`specialized_mesh_pipeline` examples, is to make `ViewVisibility` a
required component and to add the type ID to it in a component add hook.
This patch does this for `Mesh3d`, `Mesh2d`, `Sprite`, `Light`, and
`Node`, which means that most app code doesn't need to change at all.
Note that, although this patch has a large impact on the performance of
visibility determination, it doesn't actually improve the end-to-end
frame time of `many_cubes`. That's because the render world was already
effectively hiding the latency from
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`. This patch is, however,
necessary for *further* improvements to `many_cubes` performance.
`many_cubes` trace before:
`many_cubes` trace after:
## Migration Guide
* `check_visibility` no longer takes a `QueryFilter`, and there's no
need to add it manually to your app schedule anymore for custom
rendering items. Instead, entities with custom renderable components
should add the appropriate type IDs to `VisibilityClass`. See
`custom_phase_item` for an example.
# Objective
This PR continues the work of `bevy_input_focus` by adding a pluggable
tab navigation framework.
As part of this work, `FocusKeyboardEvent` now propagates to the window
after exhausting all ancestors.
## Testing
Unit tests and manual tests.

This PR adds support for *mixed lighting* to Bevy, whereby some parts of
the scene are lightmapped, while others take part in real-time lighting.
(Here *real-time lighting* means lighting at runtime via the PBR shader,
as opposed to precomputed light using lightmaps.) It does so by adding a
new field, `affects_lightmapped_meshes` to `IrradianceVolume` and
`AmbientLight`, and a corresponding field
`affects_lightmapped_mesh_diffuse` to `DirectionalLight`, `PointLight`,
`SpotLight`, and `EnvironmentMapLight`. By default, this value is set to
true; when set to false, the light contributes nothing to the diffuse
irradiance component to meshes with lightmaps.
Note that specular light is unaffected. This is because the correct way
to bake specular lighting is *directional lightmaps*, which we have no
support for yet.
There are two general ways I expect this field to be used:
1. When diffuse indirect light is baked into lightmaps, irradiance
volumes and reflection probes shouldn't contribute any diffuse light to
the static geometry that has a lightmap. That's because the baking tool
should have already accounted for it, and in a higher-quality fashion,
as lightmaps typically offer a higher effective texture resolution than
the light probe does.
2. When direct diffuse light is baked into a lightmap, punctual lights
shouldn't contribute any diffuse light to static geometry with a
lightmap, to avoid double-counting. It may seem odd to bake *direct*
light into a lightmap, as opposed to indirect light. But there is a use
case: in a scene with many lights, avoiding light leaks requires shadow
mapping, which quickly becomes prohibitive when many lights are
involved. Baking lightmaps allows light leaks to be eliminated on static
geometry.
A new example, `mixed_lighting`, has been added. It demonstrates a sofa
(model from the [glTF Sample Assets]) that has been lightmapped offline
using [Bakery]. It has four modes:
1. In *baked* mode, all objects are locked in place, and all the diffuse
direct and indirect light has been calculated ahead of time. Note that
the bottom of the sphere has a red tint from the sofa, illustrating that
the baking tool captured indirect light for it.
2. In *mixed direct* mode, lightmaps capturing diffuse direct and
indirect light have been pre-calculated for the static objects, but the
dynamic sphere has real-time lighting. Note that, because the diffuse
lighting has been entirely pre-calculated for the scenery, the dynamic
sphere casts no shadow. In a real app, you would typically use real-time
lighting for the most important light so that dynamic objects can shadow
the scenery and relegate baked lighting to the less important lights for
which shadows aren't as important. Also note that there is no red tint
on the sphere, because there is no global illumination applied to it. In
an actual game, you could fix this problem by supplementing the
lightmapped objects with an irradiance volume.
3. In *mixed indirect* mode, all direct light is calculated in
real-time, and the static objects have pre-calculated indirect lighting.
This corresponds to the mode that most applications are expected to use.
Because direct light on the scenery is computed dynamically, shadows are
fully supported. As in mixed direct mode, there is no global
illumination on the sphere; in a real application, irradiance volumes
could be used to supplement the lightmaps.
4. In *real-time* mode, no lightmaps are used at all, and all punctual
lights are rendered in real-time. No global illumination exists.
In the example, you can click around to move the sphere, unless you're
in baked mode, in which case the sphere must be locked in place to be
lit correctly.
## Showcase
Baked mode:
Mixed direct mode:
Mixed indirect mode (default):
Real-time mode:
## Migration guide
* The `AmbientLight` resource, the `IrradianceVolume` component, and the
`EnvironmentMapLight` component now have `affects_lightmapped_meshes`
fields. If you don't need to use that field (for example, if you aren't
using lightmaps), you can safely set the field to true.
* `DirectionalLight`, `PointLight`, and `SpotLight` now have
`affects_lightmapped_mesh_diffuse` fields. If you don't need to use that
field (for example, if you aren't using lightmaps), you can safely set
the field to true.

[Bakery]:
https://geom.io/bakery/wiki/index.php?title=Bakery_-_GPU_Lightmapper
This commit allows Bevy to bind 16 lightmaps at a time, if the current
platform supports bindless textures. Naturally, if bindless textures
aren't supported, Bevy falls back to binding only a single lightmap at a
time. As lightmaps are usually heavily atlased, I doubt many scenes will
use more than 16 lightmap textures.
This has little performance impact now, but it's desirable for us to
reap the benefits of multidraw and bindless textures on scenes that use
lightmaps. Otherwise, we might have to break batches in order to switch
those lightmaps.
Additionally, this PR slightly reduces the cost of binning because it
makes the lightmap index in `Opaque3dBinKey` 32 bits instead of an
`AssetId`.
## Migration Guide
* The `Opaque3dBinKey::lightmap_image` field is now
`Opaque3dBinKey::lightmap_slab`, which is a lightweight identifier for
an entire binding array of lightmaps.
# Objective
- #16813 added the ability to mute sinks and added a new method
`toggle_mute()`.
- Leaving `toggle()` as is creates inconsistency and a bit of confusion
about what is being toggled.
## Solution
- Rename `toggle()` to `toggle_playback()`.
- The choice to use the `_playback` suffix was easy because the method
comment was already telling us what is being toggled: `Toggles playback
of the sink.`
- [Raised in Discord] and got the OK from Alice.

## Testing
- I ran the example and also updated the instruction text to make it
clear `Space` is toggling the playback not just pausing.
- I added a unit test for `toggle_playback()` because why not.

## Migration Guide
- `AudioSinkPlayback`'s `toggle` method has been renamed to
`toggle_playback`. This was done to create consistency with the
`toggle_mute` method added in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16813. Change instances of
`toggle` to `toggle_playback`. E.g.:
Before:
```rust
fn pause(keyboard_input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>, sink: Single<&AudioSink>) {
if keyboard_input.just_pressed(KeyCode::Space) {
sink.toggle();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn pause(keyboard_input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>, sink: Single<&AudioSink>) {
if keyboard_input.just_pressed(KeyCode::Space) {
sink.toggle_playback();
}
}
```
# Objective
- Allow users to mute audio.
```rust
fn mute(
keyboard_input: Res<ButtonInput<KeyCode>>,
mut sink: Single<&mut AudioSink, With<MyMusic>>,
) {
if keyboard_input.just_pressed(KeyCode::KeyM) {
sink.toggle_mute();
}
}
```
- I want to be able to press, say, `M` and mute all my audio. I want
this for dev, but I'm sure it's a useful player setting as well.
- Muting is different to pausing—I don't want to pause my sounds, I want
them to keep playing but with no volume. For example if I have
background music playing which is made up of 5 tracks, I want to be able
to temporarily mute my background music, and if I unmute at, say, track
4, I want to play track 4 rather than have had everything paused and
still be on the first track.
- I want to be able to continue to control the volume of my audio even
when muted. Like in the example, if I have muted my audio but I use the
volume up/down controls, I want Bevy to remember those volume changes so
that when I unmute, the volume corresponds to that.
## Solution
- Add methods to audio to allow muting, unmuting and toggling muting.
- To preserve the user's intended volume, each sink needs to keep track
of a "managed volume".
- I checked `rodio` and I don't see any built in support for doing this,
so I added it to `bevy_audio`.
- I'm interested to hear if this is a good idea or a bad idea. To me,
this API looks nice and looks usable, but I'm aware it involves some
changes to the existing API and now also requires mutable access in some
places compared to before.
- I'm also aware of work on *Better Audio*, but I'm hoping that if this
change isn't too wild it might be a useful addition considering we don't
really know when we'll eventually get better audio.
## Testing
- Update and run the example: `cargo run --example audio_control`
- Run the example: `cargo run --example soundtrack`
- Update and run the example: `cargo run --example spatial_audio_3d`
- Add unit tests.
---
## Showcase
See 2 changed examples that show how you can mute an audio sink and a
spatial audio sink.
## Migration Guide
- The `AudioSinkPlayback` trait now has 4 new methods to allow you to
mute audio sinks: `is_muted`, `mute`, `unmute` and `toggle_mute`. You
can use these methods on `bevy_audio`'s `AudioSink` and
`SpatialAudioSink` components to manage the sink's mute state.
- `AudioSinkPlayback`'s `set_volume` method now takes a mutable
reference instead of an immutable one. Update your code which calls
`set_volume` on `AudioSink` and `SpatialAudioSink` components to take a
mutable reference. E.g.:
Before:
```rust
fn increase_volume(sink: Single<&AudioSink>) {
sink.set_volume(sink.volume() + 0.1);
}
```
After:
```rust
fn increase_volume(mut sink: Single<&mut AudioSink>) {
let current_volume = sink.volume();
sink.set_volume(current_volume + 0.1);
}
```
- The `PlaybackSettings` component now has a `muted` field which you can
use to spawn your audio in a muted state. `PlaybackSettings` also now
has a helper method `muted` which you can use when building the
component. E.g.:
```rust
commands.spawn((
// ...
AudioPlayer::new(asset_server.load("sounds/Windless Slopes.ogg")),
PlaybackSettings::LOOP.with_spatial(true).muted(),
));
```

# Objective
- Allow skiping components that don't have ComponentId yet instead of
failing `bevy/query` request.
## Solution
- Describe the solution used to achieve the objective above.
## Testing
My naive approach boils down to:
- bevy/list to get list of all components.
- bevy/query with empty components and has fields and a option that
contains result of the bevy/list.
Before that change I end up with bunch of `Component xxx isn't used in
the world` because some of the components wasn't spawned at any moment
yet in the game. Now it should work.
## Migration Guide
- `BrpQueryParams` now has `strict` boolean field. It serfs as a flag to
fail when encountering an invalid component rather than skipping it.
Defaults to false.
This patch replaces the undocumented `NoGpuCulling` component with a new
component, `NoIndirectDrawing`, effectively turning indirect drawing on
by default. Indirect mode is needed for the recently-landed multidraw
feature (#16427). Since multidraw is such a win for performance, when
that feature is supported the small performance tax that indirect mode
incurs is virtually always worth paying.
To ensure that custom drawing code such as that in the
`custom_shader_instancing` example continues to function, this commit
additionally makes GPU culling take the `NoFrustumCulling` component
into account.
This PR is an alternative to #16670 that doesn't break the
`custom_shader_instancing` example. **PR #16755 should land first in
order to avoid breaking deferred rendering, as multidraw currently
breaks it**.
## Migration Guide
* Indirect drawing (GPU culling) is now enabled by default, so the
`GpuCulling` component is no longer available. To disable indirect mode,
which may be useful with custom render nodes, add the new
`NoIndirectDrawing` component to your camera.
# 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.

Updating dependencies; adopted version of #15696. (Supercedes #15696.)
Long answer: hashbrown is no longer using ahash by default, meaning that
we can't use the default-hasher methods with ahasher. So, we have to use
the longer-winded versions instead. This takes the opportunity to also
switch our default hasher as well, but without actually enabling the
default-hasher feature for hashbrown, meaning that we'll be able to
change our hasher more easily at the cost of all of these method calls
being obnoxious forever.
One large change from 0.15 is that `insert_unique_unchecked` is now
`unsafe`, and for cases where unsafe code was denied at the crate level,
I replaced it with `insert`.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_utils` has updated its version of `hashbrown` to 0.15 and now
defaults to `foldhash` instead of `ahash`. This means that if you've
hard-coded your hasher to `bevy_utils::AHasher` or separately used the
`ahash` crate in your code, you may need to switch to `foldhash` to
ensure that everything works like it does in Bevy.
This commit makes `StandardMaterial` use bindless textures, as
implemented in PR #16368. Non-bindless mode, as used for example in
Metal and WebGL 2, remains fully supported via a plethora of `#ifdef
BINDLESS` preprocessor definitions.
Unfortunately, this PR introduces quite a bit of unsightliness into the
PBR shaders. This is a result of the fact that WGSL supports neither
passing binding arrays to functions nor passing individual *elements* of
binding arrays to functions, except directly to texture sample
functions. Thus we're unable to use the `sample_texture` abstraction
that helped abstract over the meshlet and non-meshlet paths. I don't
think there's anything we can do to help this other than to suggest
improvements to upstream Naga.
# Objective
The `RayCastSettings` type is only used in the context of ray casts with
the `MeshRayCast` system parameter. The current name is somewhat
inconsistent with other existing types, like `MeshRayCast` and
`MeshPickingSettings`, but more importantly, it easily conflicts with
physics, and forces those crates to opt for some other name like
`RayCastConfig` or `RayCastOptions`.
We should rename `RayCastSettings` to `MeshRayCastSettings` to avoid
naming conflicts and improve consistency.
## Solution
Rename `RayCastSettings` to `MeshRayCastSettings`.
---
## Migration Guide
`RayCastSettings` has been renamed to `MeshRayCastSettings` to avoid
naming conflicts with other ray casting backends and types.
# Objective
We currently have no benchmarks for large worlds with many entities,
components and systems.
Having a benchmark for a world with many components is especially useful
for the performance improvements needed for relations. This is also a
response to this [comment from
cart](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/14385#issuecomment-2311292546).
> I'd like both a small bevy_ecs-scoped executor benchmark that
generates thousands of components used by hundreds of systems.
## Solution
I use dynamic components and components to construct a benchmark with
2000 components, 4000 systems, and 10000 entities.
## Some notes
- ~I use a lot of random entities, which creates unpredictable
performance, I should use a seeded PRNG.~
- Not entirely sure if everything is ran concurrently currently. And
there are many conflicts, meaning there's probably a lot of
first-come-first-serve going on. Not entirely sure if these benchmarks
are very reproducible.
- Maybe add some more safety comments
- Also component_reads_and_writes() is about to be deprecated #16339,
but there's no other way to currently do what I'm trying to do.

Fixes#16192
## Solution
I renamed the Pointer<Down/Up> to <Pressed/Released> and then I resolved
all the errors.
Renamed variables like "is_down" to "is_pressed" to maintain
consistency.
Modified the docs in places where 'down/up' were used to maintain
consistency.

I haven't tested this in any way beside the checks from rust analyzer
and the examples in the examples/ directory.

### `bevy_picking/src/pointer.rs`:
#### `enum PressDirection`:
- `PressDirection::Down` changes to `PressDirection::Pressed`.
- `PressDirection::Up` changes to `PressDirection::Released`.
These changes are also relevant when working with `enum PointerAction`
### `bevy_picking/src/events.rs`:
Clicking and pressing Events in events.rs categories change from [Down],
[Up], [Click] to [Pressed], [Released], [Click].
- `struct Down` changes to `struct Pressed` - fires when a pointer
button is pressed over the 'target' entity.
- `struct Up` changes to `struct Released` - fires when a pointer button
is released over the 'target' entity.
- `struct Click` now fires when a pointer sends a Pressed event followed
by a Released event on the same 'target'.
- `struct DragStart` now fires when the 'target' entity receives a
pointer Pressed event followed by a pointer Move event.
- `struct DragEnd` now fires when the 'target' entity is being dragged
and receives a pointer Released event.
- `PickingEventWriters<'w>::down_events: EventWriter<'w, Pointer<Down>>`
changes to `PickingEventWriters<'w>::pressed_events: EventWriter<'w,
Pointer<Pressed>>`.

# Objective
Currently function reflection requires users to manually monomorphize
their generic functions. For example:
```rust
fn add<T: Add<Output=T>>(a: T, b: T) -> T {
a + b
}
// We have to specify the type of `T`:
let reflect_add = add::<i32>.into_function();
```
This PR doesn't aim to solve that problem—this is just a limitation in
Rust. However, it also means that reflected functions can only ever work
for a single monomorphization. If we wanted to support other types for
`T`, we'd have to create a separate function for each one:
```rust
let reflect_add_i32 = add::<i32>.into_function();
let reflect_add_u32 = add::<u32>.into_function();
let reflect_add_f32 = add::<f32>.into_function();
// ...
```
So in addition to requiring manual monomorphization, we also lose the
benefit of having a single function handle multiple argument types.
If a user wanted to create a small modding script that utilized function
reflection, they'd have to either:
- Store all sets of supported monomorphizations and require users to
call the correct one
- Write out some logic to find the correct function based on the given
arguments
While the first option would work, it wouldn't be very ergonomic. The
second option is better, but it adds additional complexity to the user's
logic—complexity that `bevy_reflect` could instead take on.
## Solution
Introduce [function
overloading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading).
A `DynamicFunction` can now be overloaded with other `DynamicFunction`s.
We can rewrite the above code like so:
```rust
let reflect_add = add::<i32>
.into_function()
.with_overload(add::<u32>)
.with_overload(add::<f32>);
```
When invoked, the `DynamicFunction` will attempt to find a matching
overload for the given set of arguments.
And while I went into this PR only looking to improve generic function
reflection, I accidentally added support for variadic functions as well
(hence why I use the broader term "overload" over "generic").
```rust
// Supports 1 to 4 arguments
let multiply_all = (|a: i32| a)
.into_function()
.with_overload(|a: i32, b: i32| a * b)
.with_overload(|a: i32, b: i32, c: i32| a * b * c)
.with_overload(|a: i32, b: i32, c: i32, d: i32| a * b * c * d);
```
This is simply an added bonus to this particular implementation. ~~Full
variadic support (i.e. allowing for an indefinite number of arguments)
will be added in a later PR.~~ I actually decided to limit the maximum
number of arguments to 63 to supplement faster lookups, a reduced memory
footprint, and faster cloning.
### Alternatives & Rationale
I explored a few options for handling generic functions. This PR is the
one I feel the most confident in, but I feel I should mention the others
and why I ultimately didn't move forward with them.
#### Adding `GenericDynamicFunction`
**TL;DR:** Adding a distinct `GenericDynamicFunction` type unnecessarily
splits and complicates the API.
<details>
<summary>Details</summary>
My initial explorations involved a dedicated `GenericDynamicFunction` to
contain and handle the mappings.
This was initially started back when `DynamicFunction` was distinct from
`DynamicClosure`. My goal was to not prevent us from being able to
somehow make `DynamicFunction` implement `Copy`. But once we reverted
back to a single `DynamicFunction`, that became a non-issue.
But that aside, the real problem was that it created a split in the API.
If I'm using a third-party library that uses function reflection, I have
to know whether to request a `DynamicFunction` or a
`GenericDynamicFunction`. I might not even know ahead of time which one
I want. It might need to be determined at runtime.
And if I'm creating a library, I might want a type to contain both
`DynamicFunction` and `GenericDynamicFunction`. This might not be
possible if, for example, I need to store the function in a `HashMap`.
The other concern is with `IntoFunction`. Right now `DynamicFunction`
trivially implements `IntoFunction` since it can just return itself. But
what should `GenericDynamicFunction` do? It could return itself wrapped
into a `DynamicFunction`, but then the API for `DynamicFunction` would
have to account for this. So then what was the point of having a
separate `GenericDynamicFunction` anyways?
And even apart from `IntoFunction`, there's nothing stopping someone
from manually creating a generic `DynamicFunction` through lying about
its `FunctionInfo` and wrapping a `GenericDynamicFunction`.
That being said, this is probably the "best" alternative if we added a
`Function` trait and stored functions as `Box<dyn Function>`.
However, I'm not convinced we gain much from this. Sure, we could keep
the API for `DynamicFunction` the same, but consumers of `Function` will
need to account for `GenericDynamicFunction` regardless (e.g. handling
multiple `FunctionInfo`, a ranged argument count, etc.). And for all
cases, except where using `DynamicFunction` directly, you end up
treating them all like `GenericDynamicFunction`.
Right now, if we did go with `GenericDynamicFunction`, the only major
benefit we'd gain would be saving 24 bytes. If memory ever does become
an issue here, we could swap over. But I think for the time being it's
better for us to pursue a clearer mental model and end-user ergonomics
through unification.
</details>
##### Using the `FunctionRegistry`
**TL;DR:** Having overloads only exist in the `FunctionRegistry`
unnecessarily splits and complicates the API.
<details>
<summary>Details</summary>
Another idea was to store the overloads in the `FunctionRegistry`. Users
would then just call functions directly through the registry (i.e.
`registry.call("my_func", my_args)`).
I didn't go with this option because of how it specifically relies on
the functions being registered. You'd not only always need access to the
registry, but you'd need to ensure that the functions you want to call
are even registered.
It also means you can't just store a generic `DynamicFunction` on a
type. Instead, you'll need to store the function's name and use that to
look up the function in the registry—even if it's only ever used by that
type.
Doing so also removes all the benefits of `DynamicFunction`, such as the
ability to pass it to functions accepting `IntoFunction`, modify it if
needed, and so on.
Like `GenericDynamicFunction` this introduces a split in the ecosystem:
you either store `DynamicFunction`, store a string to look up the
function, or force `DynamicFunction` to wrap your generic function
anyways. Or worse yet: have `DynamicFunction` wrap the lookup function
using `FunctionRegistryArc`.
</details>
#### Generic `ArgInfo`
**TL;DR:** Allowing `ArgInfo` and `ReturnInfo` to store the generic
information introduces a footgun when interpreting `FunctionInfo`.
<details>
<summary>Details</summary>
Regardless of how we represent a generic function, one thing is clear:
we need to be able to represent the information for such a function.
This PR does so by introducing a `FunctionInfoType` enum to wrap one or
more `FunctionInfo` values.
Originally, I didn't do this. I had `ArgInfo` and `ReturnInfo` allow for
generic types. This allowed us to have a single `FunctionInfo` to
represent our function, but then I realized that it actually lies about
our function.
If we have two `ArgInfo` that both allow for either `i32` or `u32`, what
does this tell us about our function? It turns out: nothing! We can't
know whether our function takes `(i32, i32)`, `(u32, u32)`, `(i32,
u32)`, or `(u32, i32)`.
It therefore makes more sense to just represent a function with multiple
`FunctionInfo` since that's really what it's made up of.
</details>
#### Flatten `FunctionInfo`
**TL;DR:** Flattening removes additional per-overload information some
users may desire and prevents us from adding more information in the
future.
<details>
<summary>Details</summary>
Why don't we just flatten multiple `FunctionInfo` into just one that can
contain multiple signatures?
This is something we could do, but I decided against it for a few
reasons:
- The only thing we'd be able to get rid of for each signature would be
the `name`. While not enough to not do it, it doesn't really suggest we
*have* to either.
- Some consumers may want access to the names of the functions that make
up the overloaded function. For example, to track a bug where an
undesirable function is being added as an overload. Or to more easily
locate the original function of an overload.
- We may eventually allow for more information to be stored on
`FunctionInfo`. For example, we may allow for documentation to be stored
like we do for `TypeInfo`. Consumers of this documentation may want
access to the documentation of each overload as they may provide
documentation specific to that overload.
</details>
## Testing
This PR adds lots of tests and benchmarks, and also adds to the example.
To run the tests:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --all-features
```
To run the benchmarks:
```
cargo bench --bench reflect_function --all-features
```
To run the example:
```
cargo run --package bevy --example function_reflection --all-features
```
### Benchmarks
One of my goals with this PR was to leave the typical case of
non-overloaded functions largely unaffected by the changes introduced in
this PR. ~~And while the static size of `DynamicFunction` has increased
by 17% (from 136 to 160 bytes), the performance has generally stayed the
same~~ The static size of `DynamicFunction` has decreased from 136 to
112 bytes, while calling performance has generally stayed the same:
| | `main` | 7d293ab | 252f3897d |
|-------------------------------------|--------|---------|-----------|
| `into/function` | 37 ns | 46 ns | 142 ns |
| `with_overload/01_simple_overload` | - | 149 ns | 268 ns |
| `with_overload/01_complex_overload` | - | 332 ns | 431 ns |
| `with_overload/10_simple_overload` | - | 1266 ns | 2618 ns |
| `with_overload/10_complex_overload` | - | 2544 ns | 4170 ns |
| `call/function` | 57 ns | 58 ns | 61 ns |
| `call/01_simple_overload` | - | 255 ns | 242 ns |
| `call/01_complex_overload` | - | 595 ns | 431 ns |
| `call/10_simple_overload` | - | 740 ns | 699 ns |
| `call/10_complex_overload` | - | 1824 ns | 1618 ns |
For the overloaded function tests, the leading number indicates how many
overloads there are: `01` indicates 1 overload, `10` indicates 10
overloads. The `complex` cases have 10 unique generic types and 10
arguments, compared to the `simple` 1 generic type and 2 arguments.
I aimed to prioritize the performance of calling the functions over
creating them, hence creation speed tends to be a bit slower.
There may be other optimizations we can look into but that's probably
best saved for a future PR.
The important bit is that the standard ~~`into/function`~~ and
`call/function` benchmarks show minimal regressions. Since the latest
changes, `into/function` does have some regressions, but again the
priority was `call/function`. We can probably optimize `into/function`
if needed in the future.

## Showcase
Function reflection now supports [function
overloading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloading)! This
can be used to simulate generic functions:
```rust
fn add<T: Add<Output=T>>(a: T, b: T) -> T {
a + b
}
let reflect_add = add::<i32>
.into_function()
.with_overload(add::<u32>)
.with_overload(add::<f32>);
let args = ArgList::default().push_owned(25_i32).push_owned(75_i32);
let result = func.call(args).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(result.try_take::<i32>().unwrap(), 100);
let args = ArgList::default().push_owned(25.0_f32).push_owned(75.0_f32);
let result = func.call(args).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(result.try_take::<f32>().unwrap(), 100.0);
```
You can also simulate variadic functions:
```rust
#[derive(Reflect, PartialEq, Debug)]
struct Player {
name: Option<String>,
health: u32,
}
// Creates a `Player` with one of the following:
// - No name and 100 health
// - A name and 100 health
// - No name and custom health
// - A name and custom health
let create_player = (|| Player {
name: None,
health: 100,
})
.into_function()
.with_overload(|name: String| Player {
name: Some(name),
health: 100,
})
.with_overload(|health: u32| Player {
name: None,
health
})
.with_overload(|name: String, health: u32| Player {
name: Some(name),
health,
});
let args = ArgList::default()
.push_owned(String::from("Urist"))
.push_owned(55_u32);
let player = create_player
.call(args)
.unwrap()
.unwrap_owned()
.try_take::<Player>()
.unwrap();
assert_eq!(
player,
Player {
name: Some(String::from("Urist")),
health: 55
}
);
```
# Objective
- A `Trigger` has multiple associated `Entity`s - the entity observing
the event, and the entity that was targeted by the event.
- The field `entity: Entity` encodes no semantic information about what
the entity is used for, you can already tell that it's an `Entity` by
the type signature!
## Solution
- Rename `trigger.entity()` to `trigger.target()`
---
## Changelog
- `Trigger`s are associated with multiple entities. `Trigger::entity()`
has been renamed to `Trigger::target()` to reflect the semantics of the
entity being returned.

# Objective
Fixes typos in bevy project, following suggestion in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/1912#pullrequestreview-2483499337
## Solution
I used https://github.com/crate-ci/typos to find them.
I included only the ones that feel undebatable too me, but I am not in
game engine so maybe some terms are expected.
I left out the following typos:
- `reparametrize` => `reparameterize`: There are a lot of occurences, I
believe this was expected
- `semicircles` => `hemicircles`: 2 occurences, may mean something
specific in geometry
- `invertation` => `inversion`: may mean something specific
- `unparented` => `parentless`: may mean something specific
- `metalness` => `metallicity`: may mean something specific
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? I did not test the changes,
most changes are related to raw text. I expect the others to be tested
by the CI.
- Are there any parts that need more testing? I do not think
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know? To me there is nothing to test
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
---
## Migration Guide
> This section is optional. If there are no breaking changes, you can
delete this section.
(kept in case I include the `reparameterize` change here)
- If this PR is a breaking change (relative to the last release of
Bevy), describe how a user might need to migrate their code to support
these changes
- Simply adding new functionality is not a breaking change.
- Fixing behavior that was definitely a bug, rather than a questionable
design choice is not a breaking change.
## Questions
- [x] Should I include the above typos? No
(https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16702#issuecomment-2525271152)
- [ ] Should I add `typos` to the CI? (I will check how to configure it
properly)
This project looks awesome, I really enjoy reading the progress made,
thanks to everyone involved.

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
Error handling in bevy is hard. See for reference
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11562,
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10874 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12660. The goal of this PR is
to make it better, by allowing users to optionally return `Result` from
systems as outlined by Cart in
<https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14275#issuecomment-2223708314>.
## Solution
This PR introduces a new `ScheuleSystem` type to represent systems that
can be added to schedules. Instances of this type contain either an
infallible `BoxedSystem<(), ()>` or a fallible `BoxedSystem<(),
Result>`. `ScheuleSystem` implements `System<In = (), Out = Result>` and
replaces all uses of `BoxedSystem` in schedules. The async executor now
receives a result after executing a system, which for infallible systems
is always `Ok(())`. Currently it ignores this result, but more useful
error handling could also be implemented.
Aliases for `Error` and `Result` have been added to the `bevy_ecs`
prelude, as well as const `OK` which new users may find more friendly
than `Ok(())`.
## Testing
- Currently there are not actual semantics changes that really require
new tests, but I added a basic one just to make sure we don't break
stuff in the future.
- The behavior of existing systems is totally unchanged, including
logging.
- All of the existing systems tests pass, and I have not noticed
anything strange while playing with the examples
## Showcase
The following minimal example prints "hello world" once, then completes.
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn main() {
App::new().add_systems(Update, hello_world_system).run();
}
fn hello_world_system() -> Result {
println!("hello world");
Err("string")?;
println!("goodbye world");
OK
}
```
## Migration Guide
This change should be pretty much non-breaking, except for users who
have implemented their own custom executors. Those users should use
`ScheduleSystem` in place of `BoxedSystem<(), ()>` and import the
`System` trait where needed. They can choose to do whatever they wish
with the result.
## Current Work
+ [x] Fix tests & doc comments
+ [x] Write more tests
+ [x] Add examples
+ [X] Draft release notes
## Draft Release Notes
As of this release, systems can now return results.
First a bit of background: Bevy has hisotrically expected systems to
return the empty type `()`. While this makes sense in the context of the
ecs, it's at odds with how error handling is typically done in rust:
returning `Result::Error` to indicate failure, and using the
short-circuiting `?` operator to propagate that error up the call stack
to where it can be properly handled. Users of functional languages will
tell you this is called "monadic error handling".
Not being able to return `Results` from systems left bevy users with a
quandry. They could add custom error handling logic to every system, or
manually pipe every system into an error handler, or perhaps sidestep
the issue with some combination of fallible assignents, logging, macros,
and early returns. Often, users would just litter their systems with
unwraps and possible panics.
While any one of these approaches might be fine for a particular user,
each of them has their own drawbacks, and none makes good use of the
language. Serious issues could also arrise when two different crates
used by the same project made different choices about error handling.
Now, by returning results, systems can defer error handling to the
application itself. It looks like this:
```rust
// Previous, handling internally
app.add_systems(my_system)
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) {
let Ok(window) = query.get_single() else {
return;
};
// ... do something to the window here
}
// Previous, handling externally
app.add_systems(my_system.pipe(my_error_handler))
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) -> Result<(), impl Error> {
let window = query.get_single()?;
// ... do something to the window here
Ok(())
}
// Previous, panicking
app.add_systems(my_system)
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) {
let window = query.single();
// ... do something to the window here
}
// Now
app.add_systems(my_system)
fn my_system(window: Query<&Window>) -> Result {
let window = query.get_single()?;
// ... do something to the window here
Ok(())
}
```
There are currently some limitations. Systems must either return `()` or
`Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>>`, with no
in-between. Results are also ignored by default, and though implementing
a custom handler is possible, it involves writing your own custom ecs
executor (which is *not* recomended).
Systems should return errors when they cannot perform their normal
behavior. In turn, errors returned to the executor while running the
schedule will (eventually) be treated as unexpected. Users and library
authors should prefer to return errors for anything that disrupts the
normal expected behavior of a system, and should only handle expected
cases internally.
We have big plans for improving error handling further:
+ Allowing users to change the error handling logic of the default
executors.
+ Adding source tracking and optional backtraces to errors.
+ Possibly adding tracing-levels (Error/Warn/Info/Debug/Trace) to
errors.
+ Generally making the default error logging more helpful and
inteligent.
+ Adding monadic system combininators for fallible systems.
+ Possibly removing all panicking variants from our api.

The bindless PR (#16368) broke some examples:
* `specialized_mesh_pipeline` and `custom_shader_instancing` failed
because they expect to be able to render a mesh with no material, by
overriding enough of the render pipeline to be able to do so. This PR
fixes the issue by restoring the old behavior in which we extract meshes
even if they have no material.
* `texture_binding_array` broke because it doesn't implement
`AsBindGroup::unprepared_bind_group`. This was tricky to fix because
there's a very good reason why `texture_binding_array` doesn't implement
that method: there's no sensible way to do so with `wgpu`'s current
bindless API, due to its multiple levels of borrowed references. To fix
the example, I split `MaterialBindGroup` into
`MaterialBindlessBindGroup` and `MaterialNonBindlessBindGroup`, and
allow direct custom implementations of `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` for
the latter type of bind groups. To opt in to the new behavior, return
the `AsBindGroupError::CreateBindGroupDirectly` error from your
`AsBindGroup::unprepared_bind_group` implementation, and Bevy will call
your custom `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` method as before.
## Migration Guide
* Bevy will now unconditionally call
`AsBindGroup::unprepared_bind_group` for your materials, so you must no
longer panic in that function. Instead, return the new
`AsBindGroupError::CreateBindGroupDirectly` error, and Bevy will fall
back to calling `AsBindGroup::as_bind_group` as before.
# Objective
- Fixes#16208
## Solution
- Added an associated type to `Component`, `Mutability`, which flags
whether a component is mutable, or immutable. If `Mutability= Mutable`,
the component is mutable. If `Mutability= Immutable`, the component is
immutable.
- Updated `derive_component` to default to mutable unless an
`#[component(immutable)]` attribute is added.
- Updated `ReflectComponent` to check if a component is mutable and, if
not, panic when attempting to mutate.
## Testing
- CI
- `immutable_components` example.
---
## Showcase
Users can now mark a component as `#[component(immutable)]` to prevent
safe mutation of a component while it is attached to an entity:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
#[component(immutable)]
struct Foo {
// ...
}
```
This prevents creating an exclusive reference to the component while it
is attached to an entity. This is particularly powerful when combined
with component hooks, as you can now fully track a component's value,
ensuring whatever invariants you desire are upheld. Before this would be
done my making a component private, and manually creating a `QueryData`
implementation which only permitted read access.
<details>
<summary>Using immutable components as an index</summary>
```rust
/// This is an example of a component like [`Name`](bevy::prelude::Name), but immutable.
#[derive(Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq, PartialOrd, Ord, Hash, Component)]
#[component(
immutable,
on_insert = on_insert_name,
on_replace = on_replace_name,
)]
pub struct Name(pub &'static str);
/// This index allows for O(1) lookups of an [`Entity`] by its [`Name`].
#[derive(Resource, Default)]
struct NameIndex {
name_to_entity: HashMap<Name, Entity>,
}
impl NameIndex {
fn get_entity(&self, name: &'static str) -> Option<Entity> {
self.name_to_entity.get(&Name(name)).copied()
}
}
fn on_insert_name(mut world: DeferredWorld<'_>, entity: Entity, _component: ComponentId) {
let Some(&name) = world.entity(entity).get::<Name>() else {
unreachable!()
};
let Some(mut index) = world.get_resource_mut::<NameIndex>() else {
return;
};
index.name_to_entity.insert(name, entity);
}
fn on_replace_name(mut world: DeferredWorld<'_>, entity: Entity, _component: ComponentId) {
let Some(&name) = world.entity(entity).get::<Name>() else {
unreachable!()
};
let Some(mut index) = world.get_resource_mut::<NameIndex>() else {
return;
};
index.name_to_entity.remove(&name);
}
// Setup our name index
world.init_resource::<NameIndex>();
// Spawn some entities!
let alyssa = world.spawn(Name("Alyssa")).id();
let javier = world.spawn(Name("Javier")).id();
// Check our index
let index = world.resource::<NameIndex>();
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Alyssa"), Some(alyssa));
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Javier"), Some(javier));
// Changing the name of an entity is also fully capture by our index
world.entity_mut(javier).insert(Name("Steven"));
// Javier changed their name to Steven
let steven = javier;
// Check our index
let index = world.resource::<NameIndex>();
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Javier"), None);
assert_eq!(index.get_entity("Steven"), Some(steven));
```
</details>
Additionally, users can use `Component<Mutability = ...>` in trait
bounds to enforce that a component _is_ mutable or _is_ immutable. When
using `Component` as a trait bound without specifying `Mutability`, any
component is applicable. However, methods which only work on mutable or
immutable components are unavailable, since the compiler must be
pessimistic about the type.
## Migration Guide
- When implementing `Component` manually, you must now provide a type
for `Mutability`. The type `Mutable` provides equivalent behaviour to
earlier versions of `Component`:
```rust
impl Component for Foo {
type Mutability = Mutable;
// ...
}
```
- When working with generic components, you may need to specify that
your generic parameter implements `Component<Mutability = Mutable>`
rather than `Component` if you require mutable access to said component.
- The entity entry API has had to have some changes made to minimise
friction when working with immutable components. Methods which
previously returned a `Mut<T>` will now typically return an
`OccupiedEntry<T>` instead, requiring you to add an `into_mut()` to get
the `Mut<T>` item again.
## Draft Release Notes
Components can now be made immutable while stored within the ECS.
Components are the fundamental unit of data within an ECS, and Bevy
provides a number of ways to work with them that align with Rust's rules
around ownership and borrowing. One part of this is hooks, which allow
for defining custom behavior at key points in a component's lifecycle,
such as addition and removal. However, there is currently no way to
respond to _mutation_ of a component using hooks. The reasons for this
are quite technical, but to summarize, their addition poses a
significant challenge to Bevy's core promises around performance.
Without mutation hooks, it's relatively trivial to modify a component in
such a way that breaks invariants it intends to uphold. For example, you
can use `core::mem::swap` to swap the components of two entities,
bypassing the insertion and removal hooks.
This means the only way to react to this modification is via change
detection in a system, which then begs the question of what happens
_between_ that alteration and the next run of that system?
Alternatively, you could make your component private to prevent
mutation, but now you need to provide commands and a custom `QueryData`
implementation to allow users to interact with your component at all.
Immutable components solve this problem by preventing the creation of an
exclusive reference to the component entirely. Without an exclusive
reference, the only way to modify an immutable component is via removal
or replacement, which is fully captured by component hooks. To make a
component immutable, simply add `#[component(immutable)]`:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
#[component(immutable)]
struct Foo {
// ...
}
```
When implementing `Component` manually, there is an associated type
`Mutability` which controls this behavior:
```rust
impl Component for Foo {
type Mutability = Mutable;
// ...
}
```
Note that this means when working with generic components, you may need
to specify that a component is mutable to gain access to certain
methods:
```rust
// Before
fn bar<C: Component>() {
// ...
}
// After
fn bar<C: Component<Mutability = Mutable>>() {
// ...
}
```
With this new tool, creating index components, or caching data on an
entity should be more user friendly, allowing libraries to provide APIs
relying on components and hooks to uphold their invariants.
## Notes
- ~~I've done my best to implement this feature, but I'm not happy with
how reflection has turned out. If any reflection SMEs know a way to
improve this situation I'd greatly appreciate it.~~ There is an
outstanding issue around the fallibility of mutable methods on
`ReflectComponent`, but the DX is largely unchanged from `main` now.
- I've attempted to prevent all safe mutable access to a component that
does not implement `Component<Mutability = Mutable>`, but there may
still be some methods I have missed. Please indicate so and I will
address them, as they are bugs.
- Unsafe is an escape hatch I am _not_ attempting to prevent. Whatever
you do with unsafe is between you and your compiler.
- I am marking this PR as ready, but I suspect it will undergo fairly
major revisions based on SME feedback.
- I've marked this PR as _Uncontroversial_ based on the feature, not the
implementation.

# 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`.
Benchmarks can be found here:
This branch:
https://github.com/tim-blackbird/line_racing/tree/retained-gizmos
Bevy 0.14: https://github.com/DGriffin91/line_racing
## 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
Currently, the prepass has no support for visibility ranges, so
artifacts appear when using dithering visibility ranges in conjunction
with a prepass. This patch fixes that problem.
Note that this patch changes the prepass to use sparse bind group
indices instead of sequential ones. I figured this is cleaner, because
it allows for greater sharing of WGSL code between the forward pipeline
and the prepass pipeline.
The `visibility_range` example has been updated to allow the prepass to
be toggled on and off.
# 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.
# Objective
Add support for multiple box shadows on a single `Node`.
## Solution
* Rename `BoxShadow` to `ShadowStyle` and remove its `Component` derive.
* Create a new `BoxShadow` component that newtypes a `Vec<ShadowStyle>`.
* Add a `new` constructor method to `BoxShadow` for single shadows.
* Change `extract_shadows` to iterate through a list of shadows per
node.
Render order is determined implicitly from the order of the shadows
stored in the `BoxShadow` component, back-to-front.
Might be more efficient to use a `SmallVec<[ShadowStyle; 1]>` for the
list of shadows but not sure if the extra friction is worth it.
## Testing
Added a node with four differently coloured shadows to the `box_shadow`
example.
---
## Showcase
```
cargo run --example box_shadow
```

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2f728c47-33b4-42e1-96ba-28a774b94b24">
## Migration Guide
Bevy UI now supports multiple shadows per node. A new struct
`ShadowStyle` is used to set the style for each shadow. And the
`BoxShadow` component is changed to a tuple struct wrapping a vector
containing a list of `ShadowStyle`s. To spawn a node with a single
shadow you can use the `new` constructor function:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
BoxShadow::new(
Color::BLACK.with_alpha(0.8),
Val::Percent(offset.x),
Val::Percent(offset.y),
Val::Percent(spread),
Val::Px(blur),
)
));
```
