# Objective
- Fixes#15460 (will open new issues for further `no_std` efforts)
- Supersedes #17715
## Solution
- Threaded in new features as required
- Made certain crates optional but default enabled
- Removed `compile-check-no-std` from internal `ci` tool since GitHub CI
can now simply check `bevy` itself now
- Added CI task to check `bevy` on `thumbv6m-none-eabi` to ensure
`portable-atomic` support is still valid [^1]
[^1]: This may be controversial, since it could be interpreted as
implying Bevy will maintain support for `thumbv6m-none-eabi` going
forward. In reality, just like `x86_64-unknown-none`, this is a
[canary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/canary_in_a_coal_mine) target to
make it clear when `portable-atomic` no longer works as intended (fixing
atomic support on atomically challenged platforms). If a PR comes
through and makes supporting this class of platforms impossible, then
this CI task can be removed. I however wager this won't be a problem.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Release Notes
Bevy now has support for `no_std` directly from the `bevy` crate.
Users can disable default features and enable a new `default_no_std`
feature instead, allowing `bevy` to be used in `no_std` applications and
libraries.
```toml
# Bevy for `no_std` platforms
bevy = { version = "0.16", default-features = false, features = ["default_no_std"] }
```
`default_no_std` enables certain required features, such as `libm` and
`critical-section`, and as many optional crates as possible (currently
just `bevy_state`). For atomically-challenged platforms such as the
Raspberry Pi Pico, `portable-atomic` will be used automatically.
For library authors, we recommend depending on `bevy` with
`default-features = false` to allow `std` and `no_std` users to both
depend on your crate. Here are some recommended features a library crate
may want to expose:
```toml
[features]
# Most users will be on a platform which has `std` and can use the more-powerful `async_executor`.
default = ["std", "async_executor"]
# Features for typical platforms.
std = ["bevy/std"]
async_executor = ["bevy/async_executor"]
# Features for `no_std` platforms.
libm = ["bevy/libm"]
critical-section = ["bevy/critical-section"]
[dependencies]
# We disable default features to ensure we don't accidentally enable `std` on `no_std` targets, for example.
bevy = { version = "0.16", default-features = false }
```
While this is verbose, it gives the maximum control to end-users to
decide how they wish to use Bevy on their platform.
We encourage library authors to experiment with `no_std` support. For
libraries relying exclusively on `bevy` and no other dependencies, it
may be as simple as adding `#![no_std]` to your `lib.rs` and exposing
features as above! Bevy can also provide many `std` types, such as
`HashMap`, `Mutex`, and `Instant` on all platforms. See
`bevy::platform_support` for details on what's available out of the box!
## Migration Guide
- If you were previously relying on `bevy` with default features
disabled, you may need to enable the `std` and `async_executor`
features.
- `bevy_reflect` has had its `bevy` feature removed. If you were relying
on this feature, simply enable `smallvec` and `smol_str` instead.

## Objective
Get rid of a redundant Cargo feature flag.
## Solution
Use the built-in `target_abi = "sim"` instead of a custom Cargo feature
flag, which is set for the iOS (and visionOS and tvOS) simulator. This
has been stable since Rust 1.78.
In the future, some of this may become redundant if Wgpu implements
proper supper for the iOS Simulator:
https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/issues/7057
CC @mockersf who implemented [the original
fix](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10178).
## Testing
- Open mobile example in Xcode.
- Launch the simulator.
- See that no errors are emitted.
- Remove the code cfg-guarded behind `target_abi = "sim"`.
- See that an error now happens.
(I haven't actually performed these steps on the latest `main`, because
I'm hitting an unrelated error (EDIT: It was
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17637). But tested it on
0.15.0).
---
## Migration Guide
> If you're using a project that builds upon the mobile example, remove
the `ios_simulator` feature from your `Cargo.toml` (Bevy now handles
this internally).
Didn't remove WgpuWrapper. Not sure if it's needed or not still.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? Example runner
- Are there any parts that need more testing? Web (portable atomics
thingy?), DXC.
## Migration Guide
- Bevy has upgraded to [wgpu
v24](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/trunk/CHANGELOG.md#v2400-2025-01-15).
- When using the DirectX 12 rendering backend, the new priority system
for choosing a shader compiler is as follows:
- If the `WGPU_DX12_COMPILER` environment variable is set at runtime, it
is used
- Else if the new `statically-linked-dxc` feature is enabled, a custom
version of DXC will be statically linked into your app at compile time.
- Else Bevy will look in the app's working directory for
`dxcompiler.dll` and `dxil.dll` at runtime.
- Else if they are missing, Bevy will fall back to FXC (not recommended)

This commit allows specular highlights to be tinted with a color and for
the reflectance and color tint values to vary across a model via a pair
of maps. The implementation follows the [`KHR_materials_specular`] glTF
extension. In order to reduce the number of samplers and textures in the
default `StandardMaterial` configuration, the maps are gated behind the
`pbr_specular_textures` Cargo feature.
Specular tinting is currently unsupported in the deferred renderer,
because I didn't want to bloat the deferred G-buffers. A possible fix
for this in the future would be to make the G-buffer layout more
configurable, so that specular tints could be supported on an opt-in
basis. As an alternative, Bevy could force meshes with specular tints to
render in forward mode. Both of these solutions require some more
design, so I consider them out of scope for now.
Note that the map is a *specular* map, not a *reflectance* map. In Bevy
and Filament terms, the reflectance values in the specular map range
from [0.0, 0.5], rather than [0.0, 1.0]. This is an unfortunate
[`KHR_materials_specular`] specification requirement that stems from the
fact that glTF is specified in terms of a specular strength model, not
the reflectance model that Filament and Bevy use. A workaround, which is
noted in the `StandardMaterial` documentation, is to set the
`reflectance` value to 2.0, which spreads the specular map range from
[0.0, 1.0] as normal.
The glTF loader has been updated to parse the [`KHR_materials_specular`]
extension. Note that, unless the non-default `pbr_specular_textures` is
supplied, the maps are ignored. The `specularFactor` value is applied as
usual. Note that, as with the specular map, the glTF `specularFactor` is
twice Bevy's `reflectance` value.
This PR adds a new example, `specular_tint`, which demonstrates the
specular tint and map features. Note that this example requires the
[`KHR_materials_specular`] Cargo feature.
[`KHR_materials_specular`]:
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/tree/main/extensions/2.0/Khronos/KHR_materials_specular
## Changelog
### Added
* Specular highlights can now be tinted with the `specular_tint` field
in `StandardMaterial`.
* Specular maps are now available in `StandardMaterial`, gated behind
the `pbr_specular_textures` Cargo feature.
* The `KHR_materials_specular` glTF extension is now supported, allowing
for customization of specular reflectance and specular maps. Note that
the latter are gated behind the `pbr_specular_textures` Cargo feature.
# Objective
- As stated in the related issue, this PR is to better align the feature
flag name with what it actually does and the plans for the future.
- Fixes#16852
## Solution
- Simple find / replace
## Testing
- Local run of `cargo run -p ci`
## Migration Guide
The `track_change_detection` feature flag has been renamed to
`track_location` to better reflect its extended capabilities.
# Objective
- Fixes#16563
- Make sure bevy_image is available when needed
## Solution
- Add a new feature for `bevy_image`
- Also enable the `bevy_image` feature in `bevy_internal` for all
features that use `bevy_image` themselves
# Objective
Expand `track_change_detection` feature to also track entity spawns and
despawns. Use this to create better error messages.
# Solution
Adds `Entities::entity_get_spawned_or_despawned_by` as well as `{all
entity reference types}::spawned_by`.
This also removes the deprecated `get_many_entities_mut` & co (and
therefore can't land in 0.15) because we don't yet have no Polonius.
## Testing
Added a test that checks that the locations get updated and these
updates are ordered correctly vs hooks & observers.
---
## Showcase
Access location:
```rust
let mut world = World::new();
let entity = world.spawn_empty().id();
println!("spawned by: {}", world.entity(entity).spawned_by());
```
```
spawned by: src/main.rs:5:24
```
Error message (with `track_change_detection`):
```rust
world.despawn(entity);
world.entity(entity);
```
```
thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:11:11:
Entity 0v1#4294967296 was despawned by src/main.rs:10:11
```
and without:
```
thread 'main' panicked at src/main.rs:11:11:
Entity 0v1#4294967296 does not exist (enable `track_change_detection` feature for more details)
```
Similar error messages now also exists for `Query::get`,
`World::entity_mut`, `EntityCommands` creation and everything that
causes `B0003`, e.g.
```
error[B0003]: Could not insert a bundle (of type `MaterialMeshBundle<StandardMaterial>`) for entity Entity { index: 7, generation: 1 }, which was despawned by src/main.rs:10:11. See: https://bevyengine.org/learn/errors/#b0003

# 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`.
# Objective
- Fixes#16469.
## Solution
- Make the picking backend features not enabled by default in each
sub-crate.
- Make features in `bevy_internal` to set the backend features
- Make the root `bevy` crate set the features by default.
## Testing
- The mesh and sprite picking examples still work correctly.
# Objective
- Fixes#16152
## Solution
- Put `bevy_window` and `bevy_a11y` behind the `bevy_window` feature.
they were the only difference
- Add `ScheduleRunnerPlugin` to the `DefaultPlugins` when `bevy_window`
is disabled
- Remove `HeadlessPlugins`
- Update the `headless` example
# Objective
PCSS still has some fundamental issues (#16155). We should resolve them
before "releasing" the feature.
## Solution
1. Rename the already-optional `pbr_pcss` cargo feature to
`experimental_pbr_pcss` to better communicate its state to developers.
2. Adjust the description of the `experimental_pbr_pcss` cargo feature
to better communicate its state to developers.
3. Gate PCSS-related light component fields behind that cargo feature,
to prevent surfacing them to developers by default.
The two additional linear texture samplers that PCSS added caused us to
blow past the limit on Apple Silicon macOS and WebGL. To fix the issue,
this commit adds a `--feature pbr_pcss` feature gate that disables PCSS
if not present.
Closes#15345.

# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
Resolves#15968. Since this feature never worked, and enabling it in the
`image` crate requires system dependencies, we've decided that it's best
to just remove it and let other plugin crates offer support for it as
needed.
## Migration Guide
AVIF images are no longer supported. They never really worked, and
require system dependencies (libdav1d) to work correctly, so, it's
better to simply offer this support via an unofficial plugin instead as
needed. The corresponding types have been removed from Bevy to account
for this.
# Objective
As discussed in #15341, ghost nodes are a contentious and experimental
feature. In the interest of enabling ecosystem experimentation, we've
decided to keep them in Bevy 0.15.
That said, we don't use them internally, and don't expect third-party
crates to support them. If the experimentation returns a negative result
(they aren't very useful, an alternative design is preferred etc) they
will be removed.
We should clearly communicate this status to users, and make sure that
users don't use ghost nodes in their projects without a very clear
understanding of what they're getting themselves into.
## Solution
To make life easy for users (and Bevy), `GhostNode` and all associated
helpers remain public and are always available.
However, actually constructing these requires enabling a feature flag
that's clearly marked as experimental. To do so, I've added a
meaningless private field.
When the feature flag is enabled, our constructs (`new` and `default`)
can be used. I've added a `new` constructor, which should be preferred
over `Default::default` as that can be readily deprecated, allowing us
to prompt users to swap over to the much nicer `GhostNode` syntax once
this is a unit struct again.
Full credit: this was mostly @cart's design: I'm just implementing it!
## Testing
I've run the ghost_nodes example and it fails to compile without the
feature flag. With the feature flag, it works fine :)

# Objective
Closes#15545.
`bevy_picking` supports UI and sprite picking, but not mesh picking.
Being able to pick meshes would be extremely useful for various games,
tools, and our own examples, as well as scene editors and inspectors.
So, we need a mesh picking backend!
Luckily,
[`bevy_mod_picking`](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking) (which
`bevy_picking` is based on) by @aevyrie already has a [backend for
it](74f0c3c0fb/backends/bevy_picking_raycast/src/lib.rs)
using [`bevy_mod_raycast`](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_raycast).
As a side product of adding mesh picking, we also get support for
performing ray casts on meshes!
## Solution
Upstream a large chunk of the immediate-mode ray casting functionality
from `bevy_mod_raycast`, and add a mesh picking backend based on
`bevy_mod_picking`. Huge thanks to @aevyrie who did all the hard work on
these incredible crates!
All meshes are pickable by default. Picking can be disabled for
individual entities by adding `PickingBehavior::IGNORE`, like normal.
Or, if you want mesh picking to be entirely opt-in, you can set
`MeshPickingBackendSettings::require_markers` to `true` and add a
`RayCastPickable` component to the desired camera and target entities.
You can also use the new `MeshRayCast` system parameter to cast rays
into the world manually:
```rust
fn ray_cast_system(mut ray_cast: MeshRayCast, foo_query: Query<(), With<Foo>>) {
let ray = Ray3d::new(Vec3::ZERO, Dir3::X);
// Only ray cast against entities with the `Foo` component.
let filter = |entity| foo_query.contains(entity);
// Never early-exit. Note that you can change behavior per-entity.
let early_exit_test = |_entity| false;
// Ignore the visibility of entities. This allows ray casting hidden entities.
let visibility = RayCastVisibility::Any;
let settings = RayCastSettings::default()
.with_filter(&filter)
.with_early_exit_test(&early_exit_test)
.with_visibility(visibility);
// Cast the ray with the settings, returning a list of intersections.
let hits = ray_cast.cast_ray(ray, &settings);
}
```
This is largely a direct port, but I did make several changes to match
our APIs better, remove things we don't need or that I think are
unnecessary, and do some general improvements to code quality and
documentation.
### Changes Relative to `bevy_mod_raycast` and `bevy_mod_picking`
- Every `Raycast` and "raycast" has been renamed to `RayCast` and "ray
cast" (similar reasoning as the "Naming" section in #15724)
- `Raycast` system param has been renamed to `MeshRayCast` to avoid
naming conflicts and to be explicit that it is not for colliders
- `RaycastBackend` has been renamed to `MeshPickingBackend`
- `RayCastVisibility` variants are now `Any`, `Visible`, and
`VisibleInView` instead of `Ignore`, `MustBeVisible`, and
`MustBeVisibleAndInView`
- `NoBackfaceCulling` has been renamed to `RayCastBackfaces`, to avoid
implying that it affects the rendering of backfaces for meshes (it
doesn't)
- `SimplifiedMesh` and `RayCastBackfaces` live near other ray casting
API types, not in their own 10 LoC module
- All intersection logic and types are in the same `intersections`
module, not split across several modules
- Some intersection types have been renamed to be clearer and more
consistent
- `IntersectionData` -> `RayMeshHit`
- `RayHit` -> `RayTriangleHit`
- General documentation and code quality improvements
### Removed / Not Ported
- Removed unused ray helpers and types, like `PrimitiveIntersection`
- Removed getters on intersection types, and made their properties
public
- There is no `2d` feature, and `Raycast::mesh_query` and
`Raycast::mesh2d_query` have been merged into `MeshRayCast::mesh_query`,
which handles both 2D and 3D
- I assume this existed previously because `Mesh2dHandle` used to be in
`bevy_sprite`. Now both the 2D and 3D mesh are in `bevy_render`.
- There is no `debug` feature or ray debug rendering
- There is no deferred API (`RaycastSource`)
- There is no `CursorRayPlugin` (the picking backend handles this)
### Note for Reviewers
In case it's helpful, the [first
commit](281638ef10)
here is essentially a one-to-one port. The rest of the commits are
primarily refactoring and cleaning things up in the ways listed earlier,
as well as changes to the module structure.
It may also be useful to compare the original [picking
backend](74f0c3c0fb/backends/bevy_picking_raycast/src/lib.rs)
and [`bevy_mod_raycast`](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_raycast) to
this PR. Feel free to mention if there are any changes that I should
revert or something I should not include in this PR.
## Testing
I tested mesh picking and relevant components in some examples, for both
2D and 3D meshes, and added a new `mesh_picking` example. I also
~~stole~~ ported over the [ray-mesh intersection
benchmark](dbc5ef32fe/benches/ray_mesh_intersection.rs)
from `bevy_mod_raycast`.
---
## Showcase
Below is a version of the `2d_shapes` example modified to demonstrate 2D
mesh picking. This is not included in this PR.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7742528c-8630-4c00-bacd-81576ac432bf
And below is the new `mesh_picking` example:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b65c7a5a-fa3a-4c2d-8bbd-e7a2c772986e
There is also a really cool new `mesh_ray_cast` example ported over from
`bevy_mod_raycast`:

# Objective
Bevy supports feature gates for each format it supports, but several
formats that it loads via the `image` crate do not have feature gates.
Additionally, the QOI format is supported by the `image` crate and
wasn't available at all. This fixes that.
## Solution
The following feature gates are added:
* `avif`
* `ff` (Farbfeld)
* `gif`
* `ico`
* `qoi`
* `tiff`
None of these formats are enabled by default, despite the fact that all
these formats appeared to be enabled by default before. Since
`default-features` was disabled for the `image` crate, it's likely that
using any of these formats would have errored by default before this
change, although this probably needs additional testing.
## Testing
The changes seemed minimal enough that a compile test would be
sufficient.
## Migration guide
Image formats that previously weren't feature-gated are now
feature-gated, meaning they will have to be enabled if you use them:
* `avif`
* `ff` (Farbfeld)
* `gif`
* `ico`
* `tiff`
Additionally, the `qoi` feature has been added to support loading QOI
format images.
Previously, these formats appeared in the enum by default, but weren't
actually enabled via the `image` crate, potentially resulting in weird
bugs. Now, you should be able to add these features to your projects to
support them properly.
# Objective
- `bevy_render` should not depend on `bevy_winit`
- Fixes#15565
## Solution
- `bevy_render` no longer depends on `bevy_winit`
- The following is behind the `custom_cursor` feature
- Move custom cursor code from `bevy_render` to `bevy_winit` behind the
`custom_cursor` feature
- `bevy_winit` now depends on `bevy_render` (for `Image` and
`TextureFormat`)
- `bevy_winit` now depends on `bevy_asset` (for `Assets`, `Handle` and
`AssetId`)
- `bevy_winit` now depends on `bytemuck` (already in tree)
- Custom cursor code in `bevy_winit` reworked to use `AssetId` (other
than that it is taken over 1:1)
- Rework `bevy_winit` custom cursor interface visibility now that the
logic is all contained in `bevy_winit`
## Testing
- I ran the screenshot and window_settings examples
- Tested on linux wayland so far
---
## Migration Guide
`CursorIcon` and `CustomCursor` previously provided by
`bevy::render::view::cursor` is now available from `bevy::winit`.
A new feature `custom_cursor` enables this functionality (default
feature).
# Objective
Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!
## Solution
As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.
Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.
## Testing
I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.
---
## Migration Guide
`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.
# Objective
Add two features to switch bevy to use `NativeActivity` or
`GameActivity` on Android, use `GameActivity` by default.
Also close #12058 and probably #12026 .
## Solution
Add two features to the corresponding crates so you can toggle it, like
what `winit` and `android-activity` crate did.
---
## Changelog
Removed default `NativeActivity` feature implementation for Android,
added two new features to enable `NativeActivity` and `GameActivity`,
and use `GameActivity` by default.
## Migration Guide
Because `cargo-apk` is not compatible with `GameActivity`,
building/running using `cargo apk build/run -p bevy_mobile_example` is
no longer possible.
Users should follow the new workflow described in document.

# Objective
Adopted from #13563.
The goal is to implement the Bevy Remote Protocol over HTTP/JSON,
allowing the ECS to be interacted with remotely.
## Solution
At a high level, there are really two separate things that have been
undertaken here:
1. First, `RemotePlugin` has been created, which has the effect of
embedding a [JSON-RPC](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) endpoint
into a Bevy application.
2. Second, the [Bevy Remote Protocol
verbs](https://gist.github.com/coreh/1baf6f255d7e86e4be29874d00137d1d#file-bevy-remote-protocol-md)
(excluding `POLL`) have been implemented as remote methods for that
JSON-RPC endpoint under a Bevy-exclusive namespace (e.g. `bevy/get`,
`bevy/list`, etc.).
To avoid some repetition, here is the crate-level documentation, which
explains the request/response structure, built-in-methods, and custom
method configuration:
<details>
<summary>Click to view crate-level docs</summary>
```rust
//! An implementation of the Bevy Remote Protocol over HTTP and JSON, to allow
//! for remote control of a Bevy app.
//!
//! Adding the [`RemotePlugin`] to your [`App`] causes Bevy to accept
//! connections over HTTP (by default, on port 15702) while your app is running.
//! These *remote clients* can inspect and alter the state of the
//! entity-component system. Clients are expected to `POST` JSON requests to the
//! root URL; see the `client` example for a trivial example of use.
//!
//! The Bevy Remote Protocol is based on the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol.
//!
//! ## Request objects
//!
//! A typical client request might look like this:
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "method": "bevy/get",
//! "id": 0,
//! "params": {
//! "entity": 4294967298,
//! "components": [
//! "bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform"
//! ]
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `id` and `method` fields are required. The `param` field may be omitted
//! for certain methods:
//!
//! * `id` is arbitrary JSON data. The server completely ignores its contents,
//! and the client may use it for any purpose. It will be copied via
//! serialization and deserialization (so object property order, etc. can't be
//! relied upon to be identical) and sent back to the client as part of the
//! response.
//!
//! * `method` is a string that specifies one of the possible [`BrpRequest`]
//! variants: `bevy/query`, `bevy/get`, `bevy/insert`, etc. It's case-sensitive.
//!
//! * `params` is parameter data specific to the request.
//!
//! For more information, see the documentation for [`BrpRequest`].
//! [`BrpRequest`] is serialized to JSON via `serde`, so [the `serde`
//! documentation] may be useful to clarify the correspondence between the Rust
//! structure and the JSON format.
//!
//! ## Response objects
//!
//! A response from the server to the client might look like this:
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "jsonrpc": "2.0",
//! "id": 0,
//! "result": {
//! "bevy_transform::components::transform::Transform": {
//! "rotation": { "x": 0.0, "y": 0.0, "z": 0.0, "w": 1.0 },
//! "scale": { "x": 1.0, "y": 1.0, "z": 1.0 },
//! "translation": { "x": 0.0, "y": 0.5, "z": 0.0 }
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `id` field will always be present. The `result` field will be present if the
//! request was successful. Otherwise, an `error` field will replace it.
//!
//! * `id` is the arbitrary JSON data that was sent as part of the request. It
//! will be identical to the `id` data sent during the request, modulo
//! serialization and deserialization. If there's an error reading the `id` field,
//! it will be `null`.
//!
//! * `result` will be present if the request succeeded and will contain the response
//! specific to the request.
//!
//! * `error` will be present if the request failed and will contain an error object
//! with more information about the cause of failure.
//!
//! ## Error objects
//!
//! An error object might look like this:
//!
//! ```json
//! {
//! "code": -32602,
//! "message": "Missing \"entity\" field"
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `code` and `message` fields will always be present. There may also be a `data` field.
//!
//! * `code` is an integer representing the kind of an error that happened. Error codes documented
//! in the [`error_codes`] module.
//!
//! * `message` is a short, one-sentence human-readable description of the error.
//!
//! * `data` is an optional field of arbitrary type containing additional information about the error.
//!
//! ## Built-in methods
//!
//! The Bevy Remote Protocol includes a number of built-in methods for accessing and modifying data
//! in the ECS. Each of these methods uses the `bevy/` prefix, which is a namespace reserved for
//! BRP built-in methods.
//!
//! ### bevy/get
//!
//! Retrieve the values of one or more components from an entity.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity whose components will be fetched.
//! - `components`: An array of fully-qualified type names of components to fetch.
//!
//! `result`: A map associating each type name to its value on the requested entity.
//!
//! ### bevy/query
//!
//! Perform a query over components in the ECS, returning all matching entities and their associated
//! component values.
//!
//! All of the arrays that comprise this request are optional, and when they are not provided, they
//! will be treated as if they were empty.
//!
//! `params`:
//! `params`:
//! - `data`:
//! - `components` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components to fetch.
//! - `option` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components to fetch optionally.
//! - `has` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components whose presence will be
//! reported as boolean values.
//! - `filter` (optional):
//! - `with` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components that must be present
//! on entities in order for them to be included in results.
//! - `without` (optional): An array of fully-qualified type names of components that must *not* be
//! present on entities in order for them to be included in results.
//!
//! `result`: An array, each of which is an object containing:
//! - `entity`: The ID of a query-matching entity.
//! - `components`: A map associating each type name from `components`/`option` to its value on the matching
//! entity if the component is present.
//! - `has`: A map associating each type name from `has` to a boolean value indicating whether or not the
//! entity has that component. If `has` was empty or omitted, this key will be omitted in the response.
//!
//! ### bevy/spawn
//!
//! Create a new entity with the provided components and return the resulting entity ID.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `components`: A map associating each component's fully-qualified type name with its value.
//!
//! `result`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the newly spawned entity.
//!
//! ### bevy/destroy
//!
//! Despawn the entity with the given ID.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity to be despawned.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/remove
//!
//! Delete one or more components from an entity.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity whose components should be removed.
//! - `components`: An array of fully-qualified type names of components to be removed.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/insert
//!
//! Insert one or more components into an entity.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity to insert components into.
//! - `components`: A map associating each component's fully-qualified type name with its value.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/reparent
//!
//! Assign a new parent to one or more entities.
//!
//! `params`:
//! - `entities`: An array of entity IDs of entities that will be made children of the `parent`.
//! - `parent` (optional): The entity ID of the parent to which the child entities will be assigned.
//! If excluded, the given entities will be removed from their parents.
//!
//! `result`: null.
//!
//! ### bevy/list
//!
//! List all registered components or all components present on an entity.
//!
//! When `params` is not provided, this lists all registered components. If `params` is provided,
//! this lists only those components present on the provided entity.
//!
//! `params` (optional):
//! - `entity`: The ID of the entity whose components will be listed.
//!
//! `result`: An array of fully-qualified type names of components.
//!
//! ## Custom methods
//!
//! In addition to the provided methods, the Bevy Remote Protocol can be extended to include custom
//! methods. This is primarily done during the initialization of [`RemotePlugin`], although the
//! methods may also be extended at runtime using the [`RemoteMethods`] resource.
//!
//! ### Example
//! ```ignore
//! fn main() {
//! App::new()
//! .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
//! .add_plugins(
//! // `default` adds all of the built-in methods, while `with_method` extends them
//! RemotePlugin::default()
//! .with_method("super_user/cool_method".to_owned(), path::to::my:🆒:handler)
//! // ... more methods can be added by chaining `with_method`
//! )
//! .add_systems(
//! // ... standard application setup
//! )
//! .run();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The handler is expected to be a system-convertible function which takes optional JSON parameters
//! as input and returns a [`BrpResult`]. This means that it should have a type signature which looks
//! something like this:
//! ```
//! # use serde_json::Value;
//! # use bevy_ecs::prelude::{In, World};
//! # use bevy_remote::BrpResult;
//! fn handler(In(params): In<Option<Value>>, world: &mut World) -> BrpResult {
//! todo!()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Arbitrary system parameters can be used in conjunction with the optional `Value` input. The
//! handler system will always run with exclusive `World` access.
//!
//! [the `serde` documentation]: https://serde.rs/
```
</details>
### Message lifecycle
At a high level, the lifecycle of client-server interactions is
something like this:
1. The client sends one or more `BrpRequest`s. The deserialized version
of that is just the Rust representation of a JSON-RPC request, and it
looks like this:
```rust
pub struct BrpRequest {
/// The action to be performed. Parsing is deferred for the sake of error reporting.
pub method: Option<Value>,
/// Arbitrary data that will be returned verbatim to the client as part of
/// the response.
pub id: Option<Value>,
/// The parameters, specific to each method.
///
/// These are passed as the first argument to the method handler.
/// Sometimes params can be omitted.
pub params: Option<Value>,
}
```
2. These requests are accumulated in a mailbox resource (small lie but
close enough).
3. Each update, the mailbox is drained by a system
`process_remote_requests`, where each request is processed according to
its `method`, which has an associated handler. Each handler is a Bevy
system that runs with exclusive world access and returns a result; e.g.:
```rust
pub fn process_remote_get_request(In(params): In<Option<Value>>, world: &World) -> BrpResult { // ... }
```
4. The result (or an error) is reported back to the client.
## Testing
This can be tested by using the `server` and `client` examples. The
`client` example is not particularly exhaustive at the moment (it only
creates barebones `bevy/query` requests) but is still informative. Other
queries can be made using `curl` with the `server` example running.
For example, to make a `bevy/list` request and list all registered
components:
```bash
curl -X POST -d '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "bevy/list" }' 127.0.0.1:15702 | jq .
```
---
## Future direction
There were a couple comments on BRP versioning while this was in draft.
I agree that BRP versioning is a good idea, but I think that it requires
some consensus on a couple fronts:
- First of all, what does the version actually mean? Is it a version for
the protocol itself or for the `bevy/*` methods implemented using it?
Both?
- Where does the version actually live? The most natural place is just
where we have `"jsonrpc"` right now (at least if it's versioning the
protocol itself), but this means we're not actually conforming to
JSON-RPC any more (so, for example, any client library used to construct
JSON-RPC requests would stop working). I'm not really against that, but
it's at least a real decision.
- What do we actually do when we encounter mismatched versions? Adding
handling for this would be actual scope creep instead of just a little
add-on in my opinion.
Another thing that would be nice is making the internal structure of the
implementation less JSON-specific. Right now, for example, component
values that will appear in server responses are quite eagerly converted
to JSON `Value`s, which prevents disentangling the handler logic from
the communication medium, but it can probably be done in principle and I
imagine it would enable more code reuse (e.g. for custom method
handlers) in addition to making the internals more readily usable for
other formats.

- Declare the features and make them default
## Testing
- CI
**Note:** This is an adoption of @Shfty 's adoption (#8131) of #3996!
All I've done is updated the branch and run the docs CI.

# Objective
- Remove the `wgpu_trace` feature while still making it easy/possible to
record wgpu traces for debugging.
- Close#14725.
- Get a taste of the bevy codebase. :P
## Solution
This PR performs the above objective by removing the `wgpu_trace`
feature from all `Cargo.toml` files.
However, wgpu traces are still useful for debugging - but to record
them, you need to pass in a directory path to store the traces in. To
avoid forcing users into manually creating the renderer,
`bevy_render::settings::WgpuSettings` now has a `trace_path` field, so
that all of Bevy's automatic initialization can happen while still
allowing for tracing.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
- I have tested these changes, but only via running `cargo run -p ci`. I
am hoping the Github Actions workflows will catch anything I missed.
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
- I do not believe so.
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
- If you want to test these changes, I have updated the debugging guide
(`docs/debugging.md`) section on WGPU Tracing.
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
- I ran the above command on a Windows 10 64-bit (x64) machine, using
the `stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` toolchain. I do not have anything
set up for other platforms or targets (though I can't imagine this needs
testing on other platforms).
---
## Migration Guide
1. The `bevy/wgpu_trace`, `bevy_render/wgpu_trace`, and
`bevy_internal/wgpu_trace` features no longer exist. Remove them from
your `Cargo.toml`, CI, tooling, and what-not.
2. Follow the instructions in the updated `docs/debugging.md` file in
the repository, under the WGPU Tracing section.
Because of the changes made, you can now generate traces to any path,
rather than the hardcoded `%WorkspaceRoot%/wgpu_trace` (where
`%WorkspaceRoot%` is... the root of your crate's workspace) folder.
(If WGPU hasn't restored tracing functionality...) Do note that WGPU has
not yet restored tracing functionality. However, once it does, the above
should be sufficient to generate new traces.

# Objective
- Dynamic plugins were deprecated in #13080 due to being unsound. The
plan was to deprecate them in 0.14 and remove them in 0.15.
## Solution
- Remove all dynamic plugin functionality.
- Update documentation to reflect this change.
---
## Migration Guide
Dynamic plugins were deprecated in 0.14 for being unsound, and they have
now been fully removed. Please consider using the alternatives listed in
the `bevy_dynamic_plugin` crate documentation, or worst-case scenario
you may copy the code from 0.14.
# Objective
- Make it possible to know *what* changed your component or resource.
- Common need when debugging, when you want to know the last code
location that mutated a value in the ECS.
- This feature would be very useful for the editor alongside system
stepping.
## Solution
- Adds the caller location to column data.
- Mutations now `track_caller` all the way up to the public API.
- Commands that invoke these functions immediately call
`Location::caller`, and pass this into the functions, instead of the
functions themselves attempting to get the caller. This would not work
for commands which are deferred, as the commands are executed by the
scheduler, not the user's code.
## Testing
- The `component_change_detection` example now shows where the component
was mutated:
```
2024-07-28T06:57:48.946022Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(0.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.004371Z INFO component_change_detection: Entity { index: 1, generation: 1 }: New value: MyComponent(1.0)
2024-07-28T06:57:49.012738Z WARN component_change_detection: Change detected!
-> value: Ref(MyComponent(1.0))
-> added: false
-> changed: true
-> changed by: examples/ecs/component_change_detection.rs:36:23
```
- It's also possible to inspect change location from a debugger:
<img width="608" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c90ecc7a-0462-457a-80ae-42e7f5d346b4">
---
## Changelog
- Added source locations to ECS change detection behind the
`track_change_detection` flag.
## Migration Guide
- Added `changed_by` field to many internal ECS functions used with
change detection when the `track_change_detection` feature flag is
enabled. Use Location::caller() to provide the source of the function
call.

# Objective
Function reflection requires a lot of macro code generation in the form
of several `all_tuples!` invocations, as well as impls generated in the
`Reflect` derive macro.
Seeing as function reflection is currently a bit more niche, it makes
sense to gate it all behind a feature.
## Solution
Add a `functions` feature to `bevy_reflect`, which can be enabled in
Bevy using the `reflect_functions` feature.
## Testing
You can test locally by running:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
That should ensure that everything still works with the feature
disabled.
To test with the feature on, you can run:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect --features functions
```
---
## Changelog
- Moved function reflection behind a Cargo feature
(`bevy/reflect_functions` and `bevy_reflect/functions`)
- Add `IntoFunction` export in `bevy_reflect::prelude`
## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This
migration guide was written for developers relying on `main` during this
cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.
Function reflection is now gated behind a feature. To use function
reflection, enable the feature:
- If using `bevy_reflect` directly, enable the `functions` feature
- If using `bevy`, enable the `reflect_functions` feature
# Replace ab_glyph with the more capable cosmic-text
Fixes#7616.
Cosmic-text is a more mature text-rendering library that handles scripts
and ligatures better than ab_glyph, it can also handle system fonts
which can be implemented in bevy in the future
Rebase of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8808
## Changelog
Replaces text renderer ab_glyph with cosmic-text
The definition of the font size has changed with the migration to cosmic
text. The behavior is now consistent with other platforms (e.g. the
web), where the font size in pixels measures the height of the font (the
distance between the top of the highest ascender and the bottom of the
lowest descender). Font sizes in your app need to be rescaled to
approximately 1.2x smaller; for example, if you were using a font size
of 60.0, you should now use a font size of 50.0.
## Migration guide
- `Text2dBounds` has been replaced with `TextBounds`, and it now accepts
`Option`s to the bounds, instead of using `f32::INFINITY` to inidicate
lack of bounds
- Textsizes should be changed, dividing the current size with 1.2 will
result in the same size as before.
- `TextSettings` struct is removed
- Feature `subpixel_alignment` has been removed since cosmic-text
already does this automatically
- TextBundles and things rendering texts requires the `CosmicBuffer`
Component on them as well
## Suggested followups:
- TextPipeline: reconstruct byte indices for keeping track of eventual
cursors in text input
- TextPipeline: (future work) split text entities into section entities
- TextPipeline: (future work) text editing
- Support line height as an option. Unitless `1.2` is the default used
in browsers (1.2x font size).
- Support System Fonts and font families
- Example showing of animated text styles. Eg. throbbing hyperlinks

# Objective
- Standard Material is starting to run out of samplers (currently uses
13 with no additional features off, I think in 0.13 it was 12).
- This change adds a new feature switch, modelled on the other ones
which add features to Standard Material, to turn off the new anisotropy
feature by default.
## Solution
- feature + texture define
## Testing
- Anisotropy example still works fine
- Other samples work fine
- Standard Material now takes 12 samplers by default on my Mac instead
of 13
## Migration Guide
- Add feature pbr_anisotropy_texture if you are using that texture in
any standard materials.

# Objective
- Fixes#13728
## Solution
- add a new feature `smaa_luts`. if enables, it also enables `ktx2` and
`zstd`. if not, it doesn't load the files but use placeholders instead
- adds all the resources needed in the same places that system that uses
them are added.
# Objective
This is the first of a series of PRs intended to begin the upstreaming
process for `bevy_mod_picking`. The purpose of this PR is to:
+ Create the new `bevy_picking` crate
+ Upstream `CorePlugin` as `PickingPlugin`
+ Upstream the core pointer and backend abstractions.
This code has been ported verbatim from the corresponding files in
[bevy_picking_core](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_mod_picking/tree/main/crates/bevy_picking_core/src)
with a few tiny naming and docs tweaks.
The work here is only an initial foothold to get the up-streaming
process started in earnest. We can do refactoring and improvements once
this is in-tree.

# Objective
Extracts the state mechanisms into a new crate called "bevy_state".
This comes with a few goals:
- state wasn't really an inherent machinery of the ecs system, and so
keeping it within bevy_ecs felt forced
- by mixing it in with bevy_ecs, the maintainability of our more robust
state system was significantly compromised
moving state into a new crate makes it easier to encapsulate as it's own
feature, and easier to read and understand since it's no longer a
single, massive file.
## Solution
move the state-related elements from bevy_ecs to a new crate
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how? all the automated tests
migrated and passed, ran the pre-existing examples without changes to
validate.
---
## Migration Guide
Since bevy_state is now gated behind the `bevy_state` feature, projects
that use state but don't use the `default-features` will need to add
that feature flag.
Since it is no longer part of bevy_ecs, projects that use bevy_ecs
directly will need to manually pull in `bevy_state`, trigger the
StateTransition schedule, and handle any of the elements that bevy_app
currently sets up.

# Objective
Fixes#12966
## Solution
Renaming multi_threaded feature to match snake case
## Migration Guide
Bevy feature multi-threaded should be refered to multi_threaded from now
on.
Clearcoat is a separate material layer that represents a thin
translucent layer of a material. Examples include (from the [Filament
spec]) car paint, soda cans, and lacquered wood. This commit implements
support for clearcoat following the Filament and Khronos specifications,
marking the beginnings of support for multiple PBR layers in Bevy.
The [`KHR_materials_clearcoat`] specification describes the clearcoat
support in glTF. In Blender, applying a clearcoat to the Principled BSDF
node causes the clearcoat settings to be exported via this extension. As
of this commit, Bevy parses and reads the extension data when present in
glTF. Note that the `gltf` crate has no support for
`KHR_materials_clearcoat`; this patch therefore implements the JSON
semantics manually.
Clearcoat is integrated with `StandardMaterial`, but the code is behind
a series of `#ifdef`s that only activate when clearcoat is present.
Additionally, the `pbr_feature_layer_material_textures` Cargo feature
must be active in order to enable support for clearcoat factor maps,
clearcoat roughness maps, and clearcoat normal maps. This approach
mirrors the same pattern used by the existing transmission feature and
exists to avoid running out of texture bindings on platforms like WebGL
and WebGPU. Note that constant clearcoat factors and roughness values
*are* supported in the browser; only the relatively-less-common maps are
disabled on those platforms.
This patch refactors the lighting code in `StandardMaterial`
significantly in order to better support multiple layers in a natural
way. That code was due for a refactor in any case, so this is a nice
improvement.
A new demo, `clearcoat`, has been added. It's based on [the
corresponding three.js demo], but all the assets (aside from the skybox
and environment map) are my original work.

## Changelog
### Added
* `StandardMaterial` now supports a clearcoat layer, which represents a
thin translucent layer over an underlying material.
* The glTF loader now supports the `KHR_materials_clearcoat` extension,
representing materials with clearcoat layers.
## Migration Guide
* The lighting functions in the `pbr_lighting` WGSL module now have
clearcoat parameters, if `STANDARD_MATERIAL_CLEARCOAT` is defined.
* The `R` reflection vector parameter has been removed from some
lighting functions, as it was unused.
# Objective
Fix#11931
## Solution
- Make stepping a non-default feature
- Adjust documentation and examples
- In particular, make the breakout example not show the stepping prompt
if compiled without the feature (shows a log message instead)
---
## Changelog
- Removed `bevy_debug_stepping` from default features
## Migration Guide
The system-by-system stepping feature is now disabled by default; to use
it, enable the `bevy_debug_stepping` feature explicitly:
```toml
[dependencies]
bevy = { version = "0.14", features = ["bevy_debug_stepping"] }
```
Code using
[`Stepping`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/ecs/schedule/struct.Stepping.html)
will still compile with the feature disabled, but will print a runtime
error message to the console if the application attempts to enable
stepping.

# Objective
As we start to migrate to `bevy_color` in earnest (#12056), we should
make it visible to Bevy users, and usable in examples.
## Solution
1. Add a prelude to `bevy_color`: I've only excluded the rarely used
`ColorRange` type and the testing-focused color distance module. I
definitely think that some color spaces are less useful than others to
end users, but at the same time the types used there are very unlikely
to conflict with user-facing types.
2. Add `bevy_color` to `bevy_internal` as an optional crate.
3. Re-export `bevy_color`'s prelude as part of `bevy::prelude`.

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

# Objective
Keep core dependencies up to date.
## Solution
Update the dependencies.
wgpu 0.19 only supports raw-window-handle (rwh) 0.6, so bumping that was
included in this.
The rwh 0.6 version bump is just the simplest way of doing it. There
might be a way we can take advantage of wgpu's new safe surface creation
api, but I'm not familiar enough with bevy's window management to
untangle it and my attempt ended up being a mess of lifetimes and rustc
complaining about missing trait impls (that were implemented). Thanks to
@MiniaczQ for the (much simpler) rwh 0.6 version bump code.
Unblocks https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9172 and
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10812
~~This might be blocked on cpal and oboe updating their ndk versions to
0.8, as they both currently target ndk 0.7 which uses rwh 0.5.2~~ Tested
on android, and everything seems to work correctly (audio properly stops
when minimized, and plays when re-focusing the app).
---
## Changelog
- `wgpu` has been updated to 0.19! The long awaited arcanization has
been merged (for more info, see
https://gfx-rs.github.io/2023/11/24/arcanization.html), and Vulkan
should now be working again on Intel GPUs.
- Targeting WebGPU now requires that you add the new `webgpu` feature
(setting the `RUSTFLAGS` environment variable to
`--cfg=web_sys_unstable_apis` is still required). This feature currently
overrides the `webgl2` feature if you have both enabled (the `webgl2`
feature is enabled by default), so it is not recommended to add it as a
default feature to libraries without putting it behind a flag that
allows library users to opt out of it! In the future we plan on
supporting wasm binaries that can target both webgl2 and webgpu now that
wgpu added support for doing so (see
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11505).
- `raw-window-handle` has been updated to version 0.6.
## Migration Guide
- `bevy_render::instance_index::get_instance_index()` has been removed
as the webgl2 workaround is no longer required as it was fixed upstream
in wgpu. The `BASE_INSTANCE_WORKAROUND` shaderdef has also been removed.
- WebGPU now requires the new `webgpu` feature to be enabled. The
`webgpu` feature currently overrides the `webgl2` feature so you no
longer need to disable all default features and re-add them all when
targeting `webgpu`, but binaries built with both the `webgpu` and
`webgl2` features will only target the webgpu backend, and will only
work on browsers that support WebGPU.
- Places where you conditionally compiled things for webgl2 need to be
updated because of this change, eg:
- `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl"), not(target_arch = "wasm32")))]`
becomes `#[cfg(any(not(feature = "webgl") ,not(target_arch = "wasm32"),
feature = "webgpu"))]`
- `#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))]` becomes
`#[cfg(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))]`
- `if cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32"))` becomes `if
cfg!(all(feature = "webgl", target_arch = "wasm32", not(feature =
"webgpu")))`
- `create_texture_with_data` now also takes a `TextureDataOrder`. You
can probably just set this to `TextureDataOrder::default()`
- `TextureFormat`'s `block_size` has been renamed to `block_copy_size`
- See the `wgpu` changelog for anything I might've missed:

This PR adds both diffuse and specular light transmission capabilities
to the `StandardMaterial`, with support for screen space refractions.
This enables realistically representing a wide range of real-world
materials, such as:
- Glass; (Including frosted glass)
- Transparent and translucent plastics;
- Various liquids and gels;
- Gemstones;
- Marble;
- Wax;
- Paper;
- Leaves;
- Porcelain.
Unlike existing support for transparency, light transmission does not
rely on fixed function alpha blending, and therefore works with both
`AlphaMode::Opaque` and `AlphaMode::Mask` materials.
## Solution
- Introduces a number of transmission related fields in the
`StandardMaterial`;
- For specular transmission:
- Adds logic to take a view main texture snapshot after the opaque
phase; (in order to perform screen space refractions)
- Introduces a new `Transmissive3d` phase to the renderer, to which all
meshes with `transmission > 0.0` materials are sent.
- Calculates a light exit point (of the approximate mesh volume) using
`ior` and `thickness` properties
- Samples the snapshot texture with an adaptive number of taps across a
`roughness`-controlled radius enabling “blurry” refractions
- For diffuse transmission:
- Approximates transmitted diffuse light by using a second, flipped +
displaced, diffuse-only Lambertian lobe for each light source.
## To Do
- [x] Figure out where `fresnel_mix()` is taking place, if at all, and
where `dielectric_specular` is being calculated, if at all, and update
them to use the `ior` value (Not a blocker, just a nice-to-have for more
correct BSDF)
- To the _best of my knowledge, this is now taking place, after
964340cdd. The fresnel mix is actually "split" into two parts in our
implementation, one `(1 - fresnel(...))` in the transmission, and
`fresnel()` in the light implementations. A surface with more
reflectance now will produce slightly dimmer transmission towards the
grazing angle, as more of the light gets reflected.
- [x] Add `transmission_texture`
- [x] Add `diffuse_transmission_texture`
- [x] Add `thickness_texture`
- [x] Add `attenuation_distance` and `attenuation_color`
- [x] Connect values to glTF loader
- [x] `transmission` and `transmission_texture`
- [x] `thickness` and `thickness_texture`
- [x] `ior`
- [ ] `diffuse_transmission` and `diffuse_transmission_texture` (needs
upstream support in `gltf` crate, not a blocker)
- [x] Add support for multiple screen space refraction “steps”
- [x] Conditionally create no transmission snapshot texture at all if
`steps == 0`
- [x] Conditionally enable/disable screen space refraction transmission
snapshots
- [x] Read from depth pre-pass to prevent refracting pixels in front of
the light exit point
- [x] Use `interleaved_gradient_noise()` function for sampling blur in a
way that benefits from TAA
- [x] Drill down a TAA `#define`, tweak some aspects of the effect
conditionally based on it
- [x] Remove const array that's crashing under HLSL (unless a new `naga`
release with https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga/pull/2496 comes out before
we merge this)
- [ ] Look into alternatives to the `switch` hack for dynamically
indexing the const array (might not be needed, compilers seem to be
decent at expanding it)
- [ ] Add pipeline keys for gating transmission (do we really want/need
this?)
- [x] Tweak some material field/function names?
## A Note on Texture Packing
_This was originally added as a comment to the
`specular_transmission_texture`, `thickness_texture` and
`diffuse_transmission_texture` documentation, I removed it since it was
more confusing than helpful, and will likely be made redundant/will need
to be updated once we have a better infrastructure for preprocessing
assets_
Due to how channels are mapped, you can more efficiently use a single
shared texture image
for configuring the following:
- R - `specular_transmission_texture`
- G - `thickness_texture`
- B - _unused_
- A - `diffuse_transmission_texture`
The `KHR_materials_diffuse_transmission` glTF extension also defines a
`diffuseTransmissionColorTexture`,
that _we don't currently support_. One might choose to pack the
intensity and color textures together,
using RGB for the color and A for the intensity, in which case this
packing advice doesn't really apply.
---
## Changelog
- Added a new `Transmissive3d` render phase for rendering specular
transmissive materials with screen space refractions
- Added rendering support for transmitted environment map light on the
`StandardMaterial` as a fallback for screen space refractions
- Added `diffuse_transmission`, `specular_transmission`, `thickness`,
`ior`, `attenuation_distance` and `attenuation_color` to the
`StandardMaterial`
- Added `diffuse_transmission_texture`, `specular_transmission_texture`,
`thickness_texture` to the `StandardMaterial`, gated behind a new
`pbr_transmission_textures` cargo feature (off by default, for maximum
hardware compatibility)
- Added `Camera3d::screen_space_specular_transmission_steps` for
controlling the number of “layers of transparency” rendered for
transmissive objects
- Added a `TransmittedShadowReceiver` component for enabling shadows in
(diffusely) transmitted light. (disabled by default, as it requires
carefully setting up the `thickness` to avoid self-shadow artifacts)
- Added support for the `KHR_materials_transmission`,
`KHR_materials_ior` and `KHR_materials_volume` glTF extensions
- Renamed items related to temporal jitter for greater consistency
## Migration Guide
- `SsaoPipelineKey::temporal_noise` has been renamed to
`SsaoPipelineKey::temporal_jitter`
- The `TAA` shader def (controlled by the presence of the
`TemporalAntiAliasSettings` component in the camera) has been replaced
with the `TEMPORAL_JITTER` shader def (controlled by the presence of the
`TemporalJitter` component in the camera)
- `MeshPipelineKey::TAA` has been replaced by
`MeshPipelineKey::TEMPORAL_JITTER`
- The `TEMPORAL_NOISE` shader def has been consolidated with
`TEMPORAL_JITTER`
# Objective
Make it obvious why stuff renders pink when rendering stuff with bevy
with `default_features = false` and bevy's default tonemapper
(TonyMcMapFace, it requires a LUT which requires the `tonemapping_luts`,
`ktx2`, and `zstd` features).
Not sure if this should be considered as fixing these issues, but in my
previous PR (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9073, and old
discussions on discord that I only somewhat remember) it seemed like we
didn't want to make ktx2 and zstd required features for
bevy_core_pipeline.
Related https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9179
Related https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9098
## Solution
This logs an error when a LUT based tonemapper is used without the
`tonemapping_luts` feature enabled, and cleans up the default features a
bit (`tonemapping_luts` now includes the `ktx2` and `zstd` features,
since it panics without them).
Another solution would be to fall back to a non-lut based tonemapper,
but I don't like this solution as then it's not explicitly clear to
users why eg. a library example renders differently than a normal bevy
app (if the library forgot the `tonemapping_luts` feature).
I did remove the `ktx2` and `zstd` features from the list of default
features in Cargo.toml, as I don't believe anything else currently in
bevy relies on them (or at least searching through every hit for `ktx2`
and `zstd` didn't show anything except loading an environment map in
some examples), and they still show up in the `cargo_features` doc as
default features.
---
## Changelog
- The `tonemapping_luts` feature now includes both the `ktx2` and `zstd`
features to avoid a panic when the `tonemapping_luts` feature was enable
without both the `ktx2` and `zstd` feature enabled.
# Objective
- I want to use the `debug_glam_assert` feature with bevy.
## Solution
- Re-export the feature flag
---
## Changelog
- Re-export `debug_glam_assert` feature flag from glam.
# Objective
Users shouldn't need to change their source code between "development
workflows" and "releasing". Currently, Bevy Asset V2 has two "processed"
asset modes `Processed` (assumes assets are already processed) and
`ProcessedDev` (starts an asset processor and processes assets). This
means that the mode must be changed _in code_ when switching from "app
dev" to "release". Very suboptimal.
We have already removed "runtime opt-in" for hot-reloading. Enabling the
`file_watcher` feature _automatically_ enables file watching in code.
This means deploying a game (without hot reloading enabled) just means
calling `cargo build --release` instead of `cargo run --features
bevy/file_watcher`.
We should adopt this pattern for asset processing.
## Solution
This adds the `asset_processor` feature, which will start the
`AssetProcessor` when an `AssetPlugin` runs in `AssetMode::Processed`.
The "asset processing workflow" is now:
1. Enable `AssetMode::Processed` on `AssetPlugin`
2. When developing, run with the `asset_processor` and `file_watcher`
features
3. When releasing, build without these features.
The `AssetMode::ProcessedDev` mode has been removed.
# Objective
- Fixes#9382
## Solution
- Added a few extra notes in regards to WebGPU experimental state and
the need of enabling unstable APIs through certain attribute flags in
`cargo_features.md` and the examples `README.md` files.
