bevy_reflect: Add clone registrations project-wide (#18307)
# Objective Now that #13432 has been merged, it's important we update our reflected types to properly opt into this feature. If we do not, then this could cause issues for users downstream who want to make use of reflection-based cloning. ## Solution This PR is broken into 4 commits: 1. Add `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types marked `#[reflect(opaque)]` that are also `Clone`. This is mandatory as these types would otherwise cause the cloning operation to fail for any type that contains it at any depth. 2. Update the reflection example to suggest adding `#[reflect(Clone)]` on opaque types. 3. Add `#[reflect(clone)]` attributes on all fields marked `#[reflect(ignore)]` that are also `Clone`. This prevents the ignored field from causing the cloning operation to fail. Note that some of the types that contain these fields are also `Clone`, and thus can be marked `#[reflect(Clone)]`. This makes the `#[reflect(clone)]` attribute redundant. However, I think it's safer to keep it marked in the case that the `Clone` impl/derive is ever removed. I'm open to removing them, though, if people disagree. 4. Finally, I added `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types that are also `Clone`. While not strictly necessary, it enables us to reduce the generated output since we can just call `Clone::clone` directly instead of calling `PartialReflect::reflect_clone` on each variant/field. It also means we benefit from any optimizations or customizations made in the `Clone` impl, including directly dereferencing `Copy` values and increasing reference counters. Along with that change I also took the liberty of adding any missing registrations that I saw could be applied to the type as well, such as `Default`, `PartialEq`, and `Hash`. There were hundreds of these to edit, though, so it's possible I missed quite a few. That last commit is **_massive_**. There were nearly 700 types to update. So it's recommended to review the first three before moving onto that last one. Additionally, I can break the last commit off into its own PR or into smaller PRs, but I figured this would be the easiest way of doing it (and in a timely manner since I unfortunately don't have as much time as I used to for code contributions). ## Testing You can test locally with a `cargo check`: ``` cargo check --workspace --all-features ``` |

Support decibels in bevy_audio::Volume (#17605)
# Objective - Allow users to configure volume using decibels by changing the `Volume` type from newtyping an `f32` to an enum with `Linear` and `Decibels` variants. - Fixes #9507. - Alternative reworked version of closed #9582. ## Solution Compared to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9582, this PR has the following main differences: 1. It uses the term "linear scale" instead of "amplitude" per https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9582/files#r1513529491. 2. Supports `ops` for doing `Volume` arithmetic. Can add two volumes, e.g. to increase/decrease the current volume. Can multiply two volumes, e.g. to get the “effective” volume of an audio source considering global volume. [requested and blessed on Discord]: https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749430447326625812/1318272597003341867 ## Testing - Ran `cargo run --example soundtrack`. - Ran `cargo run --example audio_control`. - Ran `cargo run --example spatial_audio_2d`. - Ran `cargo run --example spatial_audio_3d`. - Ran `cargo run --example pitch`. - Ran `cargo run --example decodable`. - Ran `cargo run --example audio`. --- ## Migration Guide Audio volume can now be configured using decibel values, as well as using linear scale values. To enable this, some types and functions in `bevy_audio` have changed. - `Volume` is now an enum with `Linear` and `Decibels` variants. Before: ```rust let v = Volume(1.0); ``` After: ```rust let volume = Volume::Linear(1.0); let volume = Volume::Decibels(0.0); // or now you can deal with decibels if you prefer ``` - `Volume::ZERO` has been renamed to the more semantically correct `Volume::SILENT` because `Volume` now supports decibels and "zero volume" in decibels actually means "normal volume". - The `AudioSinkPlayback` trait's volume-related methods now deal with `Volume` types rather than `f32`s. `AudioSinkPlayback::volume()` now returns a `Volume` rather than an `f32`. `AudioSinkPlayback::set_volume` now receives a `Volume` rather than an `f32`. This affects the `AudioSink` and `SpatialAudioSink` implementations of the trait. The previous `f32` values are equivalent to the volume converted to linear scale so the `Volume:: Linear` variant should be used to migrate between `f32`s and `Volume`. - The `GlobalVolume::new` function now receives a `Volume` instead of an `f32`. --------- Co-authored-by: Zachary Harrold <zac@harrold.com.au> |

Relationships (non-fragmenting, one-to-many) (#17398)
This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities with the same relationship type, but different relationship targets, are not forced into separate tables (which would cause "table fragmentation"). Functionally, this fills a similar niche as the current Parent/Children system. The biggest differences are: 1. Relationships have simpler internals and significantly improved performance and UX. Commands and specialized APIs are no longer necessary to keep everything in sync. Just spawn entities with the relationship components you want and everything "just works". 2. Relationships are generalized. Bevy can provide additional built in relationships, and users can define their own. **REQUEST TO REVIEWERS**: _please don't leave top level comments and instead comment on specific lines of code. That way we can take advantage of threaded discussions. Also dont leave comments simply pointing out CI failures as I can read those just fine._ ## Built on top of what we have Relationships are implemented on top of the Bevy ECS features we already have: components, immutability, and hooks. This makes them immediately compatible with all of our existing (and future) APIs for querying, spawning, removing, scenes, reflection, etc. The fewer specialized APIs we need to build, maintain, and teach, the better. ## Why focus on one-to-many non-fragmenting first? 1. This allows us to improve Parent/Children relationships immediately, in a way that is reasonably uncontroversial. Switching our hierarchy to fragmenting relationships would have significant performance implications. ~~Flecs is heavily considering a switch to non-fragmenting relations after careful considerations of the performance tradeoffs.~~ _(Correction from @SanderMertens: Flecs is implementing non-fragmenting storage specialized for asset hierarchies, where asset hierarchies are many instances of small trees that have a well defined structure)_ 2. Adding generalized one-to-many relationships is currently a priority for the [Next Generation Scene / UI effort](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437). Specifically, we're interested in building reactions and observers on top. ## The changes This PR does the following: 1. Adds a generic one-to-many Relationship system 3. Ports the existing Parent/Children system to Relationships, which now lives in `bevy_ecs::hierarchy`. The old `bevy_hierarchy` crate has been removed. 4. Adds on_despawn component hooks 5. Relationships can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, meaning that the entire relationship hierarchy is despawned when `entity.despawn()` is called. The built in Parent/Children hierarchies enable this behavior, and `entity.despawn_recursive()` has been removed. 6. `world.spawn` now applies commands after spawning. This ensures that relationship bookkeeping happens immediately and removes the need to manually flush. This is in line with the equivalent behaviors recently added to the other APIs (ex: insert). 7. Removes the ValidParentCheckPlugin (system-driven / poll based) in favor of a `validate_parent_has_component` hook. ## Using Relationships The `Relationship` trait looks like this: ```rust pub trait Relationship: Component + Sized { type RelationshipSources: RelationshipSources<Relationship = Self>; fn get(&self) -> Entity; fn from(entity: Entity) -> Self; } ``` A relationship is a component that: 1. Is a simple wrapper over a "target" Entity. 2. Has a corresponding `RelationshipSources` component, which is a simple wrapper over a collection of entities. Every "target entity" targeted by a "source entity" with a `Relationship` has a `RelationshipSources` component, which contains every "source entity" that targets it. For example, the `Parent` component (as it currently exists in Bevy) is the `Relationship` component and the entity containing the Parent is the "source entity". The entity _inside_ the `Parent(Entity)` component is the "target entity". And that target entity has a `Children` component (which implements `RelationshipSources`). In practice, the Parent/Children relationship looks like this: ```rust #[derive(Relationship)] #[relationship(relationship_sources = Children)] pub struct Parent(pub Entity); #[derive(RelationshipSources)] #[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent)] pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>); ``` The Relationship and RelationshipSources derives automatically implement Component with the relevant configuration (namely, the hooks necessary to keep everything in sync). The most direct way to add relationships is to spawn entities with relationship components: ```rust let a = world.spawn_empty().id(); let b = world.spawn(Parent(a)).id(); assert_eq!(world.entity(a).get::<Children>().unwrap(), &[b]); ``` There are also convenience APIs for spawning more than one entity with the same relationship: ```rust world.spawn_empty().with_related::<Children>(|s| { s.spawn_empty(); s.spawn_empty(); }) ``` The existing `with_children` API is now a simpler wrapper over `with_related`. This makes this change largely non-breaking for existing spawn patterns. ```rust world.spawn_empty().with_children(|s| { s.spawn_empty(); s.spawn_empty(); }) ``` There are also other relationship APIs, such as `add_related` and `despawn_related`. ## Automatic recursive despawn via the new on_despawn hook `RelationshipSources` can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, which will despawn all related entities in the relationship hierarchy: ```rust #[derive(RelationshipSources)] #[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent, despawn_descendants)] pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>); ``` This means that `entity.despawn_recursive()` is no longer required. Instead, just use `entity.despawn()` and the relevant related entities will also be despawned. To despawn an entity _without_ despawning its parent/child descendants, you should remove the `Children` component first, which will also remove the related `Parent` components: ```rust entity .remove::<Children>() .despawn() ``` This builds on the on_despawn hook introduced in this PR, which is fired when an entity is despawned (before other hooks). ## Relationships are the source of truth `Relationship` is the _single_ source of truth component. `RelationshipSources` is merely a reflection of what all the `Relationship` components say. By embracing this, we are able to significantly improve the performance of the system as a whole. We can rely on component lifecycles to protect us against duplicates, rather than needing to scan at runtime to ensure entities don't already exist (which results in quadratic runtime). A single source of truth gives us constant-time inserts. This does mean that we cannot directly spawn populated `Children` components (or directly add or remove entities from those components). I personally think this is a worthwhile tradeoff, both because it makes the performance much better _and_ because it means theres exactly one way to do things (which is a philosophy we try to employ for Bevy APIs). As an aside: treating both sides of the relationship as "equivalent source of truth relations" does enable building simple and flexible many-to-many relationships. But this introduces an _inherent_ need to scan (or hash) to protect against duplicates. [`evergreen_relations`](https://github.com/EvergreenNest/evergreen_relations) has a very nice implementation of the "symmetrical many-to-many" approach. Unfortunately I think the performance issues inherent to that approach make it a poor choice for Bevy's default relationship system. ## Followup Work * Discuss renaming `Parent` to `ChildOf`. I refrained from doing that in this PR to keep the diff reasonable, but I'm personally biased toward this change (and using that naming pattern generally for relationships). * [Improved spawning ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920) * Consider adding relationship observers/triggers for "relationship targets" whenever a source is added or removed. This would replace the current "hierarchy events" system, which is unused upstream but may have existing users downstream. I think triggers are the better fit for this than a buffered event queue, and would prefer not to add that back. * Fragmenting relations: My current idea hinges on the introduction of "value components" (aka: components whose type _and_ value determines their ComponentId, via something like Hashing / PartialEq). By labeling a Relationship component such as `ChildOf(Entity)` as a "value component", `ChildOf(e1)` and `ChildOf(e2)` would be considered "different components". This makes the transition between fragmenting and non-fragmenting a single flag, and everything else continues to work as expected. * Many-to-many support * Non-fragmenting: We can expand Relationship to be a list of entities instead of a single entity. I have largely already written the code for this. * Fragmenting: With the "value component" impl mentioned above, we get many-to-many support "for free", as it would allow inserting multiple copies of a Relationship component with different target entities. Fixes #3742 (If this PR is merged, I think we should open more targeted followup issues for the work above, with a fresh tracking issue free of the large amount of less-directed historical context) Fixes #17301 Fixes #12235 Fixes #15299 Fixes #15308 ## Migration Guide * Replace `ChildBuilder` with `ChildSpawnerCommands`. * Replace calls to `.set_parent(parent_id)` with `.insert(Parent(parent_id))`. * Replace calls to `.replace_children()` with `.remove::<Children>()` followed by `.add_children()`. Note that you'll need to manually despawn any children that are not carried over. * Replace calls to `.despawn_recursive()` with `.despawn()`. * Replace calls to `.despawn_descendants()` with `.despawn_related::<Children>()`. * If you have any calls to `.despawn()` which depend on the children being preserved, you'll need to remove the `Children` component first. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> |

bevy_audio: Apply #![deny(clippy::allow_attributes, clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason)] (#17119)
# Objective - https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111 ## Solution Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and `clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `deny`, and bring `bevy_audio` in line with the new restrictions. No code changes have been made - except if a lint that was previously `allow(...)`'d could be removed via small code changes. For example, `unused_variables` can be handled by adding a `_` to the beginning of a field's name. ## Testing `cargo clippy` and `cargo test --package bevy_audio` were run, and no errors were encountered. |

Remove tracing re-export from bevy_utils (#17161)
# Objective - Contributes to #11478 ## Solution - Made `bevy_utils::tracing` `doc(hidden)` - Re-exported `tracing` from `bevy_log` for end-users - Added `tracing` directly to crates that need it. ## Testing - CI --- ## Migration Guide If you were importing `tracing` via `bevy::utils::tracing`, instead use `bevy::log::tracing`. Note that many items within `tracing` are also directly re-exported from `bevy::log` as well, so you may only need `bevy::log` for the most common items (e.g., `warn!`, `trace!`, etc.). This also applies to the `log_once!` family of macros. ## Notes - While this doesn't reduce the line-count in `bevy_utils`, it further decouples the internal crates from `bevy_utils`, making its eventual removal more feasible in the future. - I have just imported `tracing` as we do for all dependencies. However, a workspace dependency may be more appropriate for version management. |

Rename AudioSinkPlayback::toggle to toggle_playback (#16837)
# 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. [Raised in Discord]: https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749430447326625812/1318000355824504905 ## 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. --- ## Showcase Example instructions: <img width="292" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/585c36c6-c4d7-428b-acbe-a92f3a37b460" /> ## 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(); } } ``` |

Add ability to mute audio sinks (#16813)
# 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(), )); ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Nathan Graule <solarliner@gmail.com> |

AudioPlayer::new() (#16287)
# Objective `AudioPlayer::<AudioSource>(assets.load("audio.mp3"))` is awkward and complicated to type because the `AudioSource` generic type cannot be elided. This is especially annoying because `AudioSource` is used in the majority of cases. Most users don't need to think about it. ## Solution Add an `AudioPlayer::new()` function that is hard-coded to `AudioSource`, allowing `AudioPlayer::new(assets.load("audio.mp3"))`. Prefer using that in the relevant places. |

Migrate audio to required components (#15573)
# Objective What's that? Another PR for the grand migration to required components? This time, audio! ## Solution Deprecate `AudioSourceBundle`, `AudioBundle`, and `PitchBundle`, as per the [chosen proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2Fzxgp-zMMRUCdT7LY1ZDQwQ). However, we cannot call the component `AudioSource`, because that's what the stored asset is called. I deliberated on a few names, like `AudioHandle`, or even just `Audio`, but landed on `AudioPlayer`, since it's probably the most accurate and "nice" name for this. Open to alternatives though. --- ## Migration Guide Replace all insertions of `AudioSoucreBundle`, `AudioBundle`, and `PitchBundle` with the `AudioPlayer` component. The other components required by it will now be inserted automatically. In cases where the generics cannot be inferred, you may need to specify them explicitly. For example: ```rust commands.spawn(AudioPlayer::<AudioSource>(asset_server.load("sounds/sick_beats.ogg"))); ``` |

Cleanup unneeded lifetimes in bevy_asset (#15546)
# Objective Fixes #15541 A bunch of lifetimes were added during the Assets V2 rework, but after moving to async traits in #12550 they can be elided. That PR mentions that this might be the case, but apparently it wasn't followed up on at the time. ~~I ended up grepping for `<'a` and finding a similar case in `bevy_reflect` which I also fixed.~~ (edit: that one was needed apparently) Note that elided lifetimes are unstable in `impl Trait`. If that gets stabilized then we can elide even more. ## Solution Remove the extra lifetimes. ## Testing Everything still compiles. If I have messed something up there is a small risk that some user code stops compiling, but all the examples still work at least. --- ## Migration Guide The traits `AssetLoader`, `AssetSaver` and `Process` traits from `bevy_asset` now use elided lifetimes. If you implement these then remove the named lifetime. |

Add core and alloc over std Lints (#15281)
# Objective - Fixes #6370 - Closes #6581 ## Solution - Added the following lints to the workspace: - `std_instead_of_core` - `std_instead_of_alloc` - `alloc_instead_of_core` - Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A) to split all `use` statements into single items. - Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix --allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically (usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate root). - Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses. - Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A) to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling. - Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use` statements due to conditional compilation attributes. ## Testing - Ran CI locally ## Migration Guide The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher. ## Notes - This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this fails and someone else tries again in the future. - Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std` where possible. - This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std` options for Bevy. --------- Co-authored-by: François Mockers <francois.mockers@vleue.com> |

Unify crate-level preludes (#15080)
# Objective
- Crate-level prelude modules, such as `bevy_ecs::prelude`, are plagued
with inconsistency! Let's fix it!
## Solution
Format all preludes based on the following rules:
1. All preludes should have brief documentation in the format of:
> The _name_ prelude.
>
> This includes the most common types in this crate, re-exported for
your convenience.
2. All documentation should be outer, not inner. (`///` instead of
`//!`.)
3. No prelude modules should be annotated with `#[doc(hidden)]`. (Items
within them may, though I'm not sure why this was done.)
## Testing
- I manually searched for the term `mod prelude` and updated all
occurrences by hand. 🫠

Optimize common usages of AssetReader (#14082)
# Objective The `AssetReader` trait allows customizing the behavior of fetching bytes for an `AssetPath`, and expects implementors to return `dyn AsyncRead + AsyncSeek`. This gives implementors of `AssetLoader` great flexibility to tightly integrate their asset loading behavior with the asynchronous task system. However, almost all implementors of `AssetLoader` don't use the async functionality at all, and just call `AsyncReadExt::read_to_end(&mut Vec<u8>)`. This is incredibly inefficient, as this method repeatedly calls `poll_read` on the trait object, filling the vector 32 bytes at a time. At my work we have assets that are hundreds of megabytes which makes this a meaningful overhead. ## Solution Turn the `Reader` type alias into an actual trait, with a provided method `read_to_end`. This provided method should be more efficient than the existing extension method, as the compiler will know the underlying type of `Reader` when generating this function, which removes the repeated dynamic dispatches and allows the compiler to make further optimizations after inlining. Individual implementors are able to override the provided implementation -- for simple asset readers that just copy bytes from one buffer to another, this allows removing a large amount of overhead from the provided implementation. Now that `Reader` is an actual trait, I also improved the ergonomics for implementing `AssetReader`. Currently, implementors are expected to box their reader and return it as a trait object, which adds unnecessary boilerplate to implementations. This PR changes that trait method to return a pseudo trait alias, which allows implementors to return `impl Reader` instead of `Box<dyn Reader>`. Now, the boilerplate for boxing occurs in `ErasedAssetReader`. ## Testing I made identical changes to my company's fork of bevy. Our app, which makes heavy use of `read_to_end` for asset loading, still worked properly after this. I am not aware if we have a more systematic way of testing asset loading for correctness. --- ## Migration Guide The trait method `bevy_asset::io::AssetReader::read` (and `read_meta`) now return an opaque type instead of a boxed trait object. Implementors of these methods should change the type signatures appropriately ```rust impl AssetReader for MyReader { // Before async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<Box<Reader<'a>>, AssetReaderError> { let reader = // construct a reader Box::new(reader) as Box<Reader<'a>> } // After async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<impl Reader + 'a, AssetReaderError> { // create a reader } } ``` `bevy::asset::io::Reader` is now a trait, rather than a type alias for a trait object. Implementors of `AssetLoader::load` will need to adjust the method signature accordingly ```rust impl AssetLoader for MyLoader { async fn load<'a>( &'a self, // Before: reader: &'a mut bevy::asset::io::Reader, // After: reader: &'a mut dyn bevy::asset::io::Reader, _: &'a Self::Settings, load_context: &'a mut LoadContext<'_>, ) -> Result<Self::Asset, Self::Error> { } ``` Additionally, implementors of `AssetReader` that return a type implementing `futures_io::AsyncRead` and `AsyncSeek` might need to explicitly implement `bevy::asset::io::Reader` for that type. ```rust impl bevy::asset::io::Reader for MyAsyncReadAndSeek {} ``` |

Implement clone for most bundles. (#12993)
# Objective Closes #12985. ## Solution - Derive clone for most types with bundle in their name. - Bundle types missing clone: - [`TextBundle`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/prelude/struct.TextBundle.html) (Contains [`ContentSize`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/ui/struct.ContentSize.html) which can't be cloned because it itself contains a `Option<MeasureFunc>` where [`MeasureFunc`](https://docs.rs/taffy/0.3.18/taffy/node/enum.MeasureFunc.html) isn't clone) - [`ImageBundle`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/prelude/struct.ImageBundle.html) (Same as `TextBundle`) - [`AtlasImageBundle`](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/prelude/struct.AtlasImageBundle.html) (Will be deprecated in 0.14 there's no point) |

Use async-fn in traits rather than BoxedFuture (#12550)
# Objective Simplify implementing some asset traits without Box::pin(async move{}) shenanigans. Fixes (in part) https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11308 ## Solution Use async-fn in traits when possible in all traits. Traits with return position impl trait are not object safe however, and as AssetReader and AssetWriter are both used with dynamic dispatch, you need a Boxed version of these futures anyway. In the future, Rust is [adding ](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/12/21/async-fn-rpit-in-traits.html)proc macros to generate these traits automatically, and at some point in the future dyn traits should 'just work'. Until then.... this seemed liked the right approach given more ErasedXXX already exist, but, no clue if there's plans here! Especially since these are public now, it's a bit of an unfortunate API, and means this is a breaking change. In theory this saves some performance when these traits are used with static dispatch, but, seems like most code paths go through dynamic dispatch, which boxes anyway. I also suspect a bunch of the lifetime annotations on these function could be simplified now as the BoxedFuture was often the only thing returned which needed a lifetime annotation, but I'm not touching that for now as traits + lifetimes can be so tricky. This is a revival of [pull/11362](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11362) after a spectacular merge f*ckup, with updates to the latest Bevy. Just to recap some discussion: - Overall this seems like a win for code quality, especially when implementing these traits, but a loss for having to deal with ErasedXXX variants. - `ConditionalSend` was the preferred name for the trait that might be Send, to deal with wasm platforms. - When reviewing be sure to disable whitespace difference, as that's 95% of the PR. ## Changelog - AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader, AssetSaver and Process now use async-fn in traits rather than boxed futures. ## Migration Guide - Custom implementations of AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader, AssetSaver and Process should switch to async fn rather than returning a bevy_utils::BoxedFuture. - Simultaniously, to use dynamic dispatch on these traits you should instead use dyn ErasedXXX. |

Contribution guidelines for bevy_audio (#12338)

The section concludes with links to more resources about audio programming. I might have gone overboard with the writeup, but I didn't want to assume a lot out of potential `bevy_audio` contributors, and so I spent a bit of time defining terms as simply as I could. I didn't want to pressure people to do so, but the first link on the additional resources should really be "required reading" as it goes more in depth about the why and how of audio programming. --------- Co-authored-by: Nathan Graule <nathan.graule@arturia.com> |

That issue and its comments do a great job of laying out the case for this. ## Solution Added an optional `spatial_scale` field to `PlaybackSettings`, which overrides the default value set on `AudioPlugin`. ## Changelog - `AudioPlugin::spatial_scale` has been renamed to `default_spatial_scale`. - `SpatialScale` is no longer a resource and is wrapped by `DefaultSpatialScale`. - Added an optional `spatial_scale` to `PlaybackSettings`. ## Migration Guide `AudioPlugin::spatial_scale` has been renamed to `default_spatial_scale` and the default spatial scale can now be overridden on individual audio sources with `PlaybackSettings::spatial_scale`. If you were modifying or reading `SpatialScale` at run time, use `DefaultSpatialScale` instead. ```rust // before app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AudioPlugin { spatial_scale: SpatialScale::new(AUDIO_SCALE), ..default() })); // after app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AudioPlugin { default_spatial_scale: SpatialScale::new(AUDIO_SCALE), ..default() })); ``` |

Remove the ability to ignore global volume (#11092)
# Objective The ability to ignore the global volume doesn't seem desirable and complicates the API. #7706 added global volume and the ability to ignore it, but there was no further discussion about whether that's useful. Feel free to discuss here :) ## Solution Replace the `Volume` type's functionality with the `VolumeLevel`. Remove `VolumeLevel`. I also removed `DerefMut` derive that effectively made the volume `pub` and actually ensured that the volume isn't set below `0` even in release builds. ## Migration Guide The option to ignore the global volume using `Volume::Absolute` has been removed and `Volume` now stores the volume level directly, removing the need for the `VolumeLevel` struct. |

More ergonomic spatial audio (#9800)
# Objective Spatial audio was heroically thrown together at the last minute for Bevy 0.10, but right now it's a bit of a pain to use -- users need to manually update audio sinks with the position of the listener / emitter. Hopefully the migration guide entry speaks for itself. ## Solution Add a new `SpatialListener` component and automatically update sinks with the position of the listener and and emitter. ## Changelog `SpatialAudioSink`s are now automatically updated with positions of emitters and listeners. ## Migration Guide Spatial audio now automatically uses the transform of the `AudioBundle` and of an entity with a `SpatialListener` component. If you were manually scaling emitter/listener positions, you can use the `spatial_scale` field of `AudioPlugin` instead. ```rust // Old commands.spawn( SpatialAudioBundle { source: asset_server.load("sounds/Windless Slopes.ogg"), settings: PlaybackSettings::LOOP, spatial: SpatialSettings::new(listener_position, gap, emitter_position), }, ); fn update( emitter_query: Query<(&Transform, &SpatialAudioSink)>, listener_query: Query<&Transform, With<Listener>>, ) { let listener = listener_query.single(); for (transform, sink) in &emitter_query { sink.set_emitter_position(transform.translation); sink.set_listener_position(*listener, gap); } } // New commands.spawn(( SpatialBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_translation(emitter_position)), AudioBundle { source: asset_server.load("sounds/Windless Slopes.ogg"), settings: PlaybackSettings::LOOP.with_spatial(true), }, )); commands.spawn(( SpatialBundle::from_transform(Transform::from_translation(listener_position)), SpatialListener::new(gap), )); ``` ## Discussion I removed `SpatialAudioBundle` because the `SpatialSettings` component was made mostly redundant, and without that it was identical to `AudioBundle`. `SpatialListener` is a bare component and not a bundle which is feeling like a maybe a strange choice. That happened from a natural aversion both to nested bundles and to duplicating `Transform` etc in bundles and from figuring that it is likely to just be tacked on to some other bundle (player, head, camera) most of the time. Let me know what you think about these things / everything else. --------- Co-authored-by: Mike <mike.hsu@gmail.com> |

Removed anyhow (#10003)
# Objective - Fixes #8140 ## Solution - Added Explicit Error Typing for `AssetLoader` and `AssetSaver`, which were the last instances of `anyhow` in use across Bevy. --- ## Changelog - Added an associated type `Error` to `AssetLoader` and `AssetSaver` for use with the `load` and `save` methods respectively. - Changed `ErasedAssetLoader` and `ErasedAssetSaver` `load` and `save` methods to use `Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync + 'static>` to allow for arbitrary `Error` types from the non-erased trait variants. Note the strict requirements match the pre-existing requirements around `anyhow::Error`. ## Migration Guide - `anyhow` is no longer exported by `bevy_asset`; Add it to your own project (if required). - `AssetLoader` and `AssetSaver` have an associated type `Error`; Define an appropriate error type (e.g., using `thiserror`), or use a pre-made error type (e.g., `anyhow::Error`). Note that using `anyhow::Error` is a drop-in replacement. - `AssetLoaderError` has been removed; Define a new error type, or use an alternative (e.g., `anyhow::Error`) - All the first-party `AssetLoader`'s and `AssetSaver`'s now return relevant (and narrow) error types instead of a single ambiguous type; Match over the specific error type, or encapsulate (`Box<dyn>`, `thiserror`, `anyhow`, etc.) ## Notes A simpler PR to resolve this issue would simply define a Bevy `Error` type defined as `Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>`, but I think this type of error handling should be discouraged when possible. Since only 2 traits required the use of `anyhow`, it isn't a substantive body of work to solidify these error types, and remove `anyhow` entirely. End users are still encouraged to use `anyhow` if that is their preferred error handling style. Arguably, adding the `Error` associated type gives more freedom to end-users to decide whether they want more or less explicit error handling (`anyhow` vs `thiserror`). As an aside, I didn't perform any testing on Android or WASM. CI passed locally, but there may be mistakes for those platforms I missed. |

Bevy Asset V2 (#8624)
# Bevy Asset V2 Proposal ## Why Does Bevy Need A New Asset System? Asset pipelines are a central part of the gamedev process. Bevy's current asset system is missing a number of features that make it non-viable for many classes of gamedev. After plenty of discussions and [a long community feedback period](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/3972), we've identified a number missing features: * **Asset Preprocessing**: it should be possible to "preprocess" / "compile" / "crunch" assets at "development time" rather than when the game starts up. This enables offloading expensive work from deployed apps, faster asset loading, less runtime memory usage, etc. * **Per-Asset Loader Settings**: Individual assets cannot define their own loaders that override the defaults. Additionally, they cannot provide per-asset settings to their loaders. This is a huge limitation, as many asset types don't provide all information necessary for Bevy _inside_ the asset. For example, a raw PNG image says nothing about how it should be sampled (ex: linear vs nearest). * **Asset `.meta` files**: assets should have configuration files stored adjacent to the asset in question, which allows the user to configure asset-type-specific settings. These settings should be accessible during the pre-processing phase. Modifying a `.meta` file should trigger a re-processing / re-load of the asset. It should be possible to configure asset loaders from the meta file. * **Processed Asset Hot Reloading**: Changes to processed assets (or their dependencies) should result in re-processing them and re-loading the results in live Bevy Apps. * **Asset Dependency Tracking**: The current bevy_asset has no good way to wait for asset dependencies to load. It punts this as an exercise for consumers of the loader apis, which is unreasonable and error prone. There should be easy, ergonomic ways to wait for assets to load and block some logic on an asset's entire dependency tree loading. * **Runtime Asset Loading**: it should be (optionally) possible to load arbitrary assets dynamically at runtime. This necessitates being able to deploy and run the asset server alongside Bevy Apps on _all platforms_. For example, we should be able to invoke the shader compiler at runtime, stream scenes from sources like the internet, etc. To keep deployed binaries (and startup times) small, the runtime asset server configuration should be configurable with different settings compared to the "pre processor asset server". * **Multiple Backends**: It should be possible to load assets from arbitrary sources (filesystems, the internet, remote asset serves, etc). * **Asset Packing**: It should be possible to deploy assets in compressed "packs", which makes it easier and more efficient to distribute assets with Bevy Apps. * **Asset Handoff**: It should be possible to hold a "live" asset handle, which correlates to runtime data, without actually holding the asset in memory. Ex: it must be possible to hold a reference to a GPU mesh generated from a "mesh asset" without keeping the mesh data in CPU memory * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: Different platforms and app distributions have different capabilities and requirements. Some platforms need lower asset resolutions or different asset formats to operate within the hardware constraints of the platform. It should be possible to define per-platform asset processing profiles. And it should be possible to deploy only the assets required for a given platform. These features have architectural implications that are significant enough to require a full rewrite. The current Bevy Asset implementation got us this far, but it can take us no farther. This PR defines a brand new asset system that implements most of these features, while laying the foundations for the remaining features to be built. ## Bevy Asset V2 Here is a quick overview of the features introduced in this PR. * **Asset Preprocessing**: Preprocess assets at development time into more efficient (and configurable) representations * **Dependency Aware**: Dependencies required to process an asset are tracked. If an asset's processed dependency changes, it will be reprocessed * **Hot Reprocessing/Reloading**: detect changes to asset source files, reprocess them if they have changed, and then hot-reload them in Bevy Apps. * **Only Process Changes**: Assets are only re-processed when their source file (or meta file) has changed. This uses hashing and timestamps to avoid processing assets that haven't changed. * **Transactional and Reliable**: Uses write-ahead logging (a technique commonly used by databases) to recover from crashes / forced-exits. Whenever possible it avoids full-reprocessing / only uncompleted transactions will be reprocessed. When the processor is running in parallel with a Bevy App, processor asset writes block Bevy App asset reads. Reading metadata + asset bytes is guaranteed to be transactional / correctly paired. * **Portable / Run anywhere / Database-free**: The processor does not rely on an in-memory database (although it uses some database techniques for reliability). This is important because pretty much all in-memory databases have unsupported platforms or build complications. * **Configure Processor Defaults Per File Type**: You can say "use this processor for all files of this type". * **Custom Processors**: The `Processor` trait is flexible and unopinionated. It can be implemented by downstream plugins. * **LoadAndSave Processors**: Most asset processing scenarios can be expressed as "run AssetLoader A, save the results using AssetSaver X, and then load the result using AssetLoader B". For example, load this png image using `PngImageLoader`, which produces an `Image` asset and then save it using `CompressedImageSaver` (which also produces an `Image` asset, but in a compressed format), which takes an `Image` asset as input. This means if you have an `AssetLoader` for an asset, you are already half way there! It also means that you can share AssetSavers across multiple loaders. Because `CompressedImageSaver` accepts Bevy's generic Image asset as input, it means you can also use it with some future `JpegImageLoader`. * **Loader and Saver Settings**: Asset Loaders and Savers can now define their own settings types, which are passed in as input when an asset is loaded / saved. Each asset can define its own settings. * **Asset `.meta` files**: configure asset loaders, their settings, enable/disable processing, and configure processor settings * **Runtime Asset Dependency Tracking** Runtime asset dependencies (ex: if an asset contains a `Handle<Image>`) are tracked by the asset server. An event is emitted when an asset and all of its dependencies have been loaded * **Unprocessed Asset Loading**: Assets do not require preprocessing. They can be loaded directly. A processed asset is just a "normal" asset with some extra metadata. Asset Loaders don't need to know or care about whether or not an asset was processed. * **Async Asset IO**: Asset readers/writers use async non-blocking interfaces. Note that because Rust doesn't yet support async traits, there is a bit of manual Boxing / Future boilerplate. This will hopefully be removed in the near future when Rust gets async traits. * **Pluggable Asset Readers and Writers**: Arbitrary asset source readers/writers are supported, both by the processor and the asset server. * **Better Asset Handles** * **Single Arc Tree**: Asset Handles now use a single arc tree that represents the lifetime of the asset. This makes their implementation simpler, more efficient, and allows us to cheaply attach metadata to handles. Ex: the AssetPath of a handle is now directly accessible on the handle itself! * **Const Typed Handles**: typed handles can be constructed in a const context. No more weird "const untyped converted to typed at runtime" patterns! * **Handles and Ids are Smaller / Faster To Hash / Compare**: Typed `Handle<T>` is now much smaller in memory and `AssetId<T>` is even smaller. * **Weak Handle Usage Reduction**: In general Handles are now considered to be "strong". Bevy features that previously used "weak `Handle<T>`" have been ported to `AssetId<T>`, which makes it statically clear that the features do not hold strong handles (while retaining strong type information). Currently Handle::Weak still exists, but it is very possible that we can remove that entirely. * **Efficient / Dense Asset Ids**: Assets now have efficient dense runtime asset ids, which means we can avoid expensive hash lookups. Assets are stored in Vecs instead of HashMaps. There are now typed and untyped ids, which means we no longer need to store dynamic type information in the ID for typed handles. "AssetPathId" (which was a nightmare from a performance and correctness standpoint) has been entirely removed in favor of dense ids (which are retrieved for a path on load) * **Direct Asset Loading, with Dependency Tracking**: Assets that are defined at runtime can still have their dependencies tracked by the Asset Server (ex: if you create a material at runtime, you can still wait for its textures to load). This is accomplished via the (currently optional) "asset dependency visitor" trait. This system can also be used to define a set of assets to load, then wait for those assets to load. * **Async folder loading**: Folder loading also uses this system and immediately returns a handle to the LoadedFolder asset, which means folder loading no longer blocks on directory traversals. * **Improved Loader Interface**: Loaders now have a specific "top level asset type", which makes returning the top-level asset simpler and statically typed. * **Basic Image Settings and Processing**: Image assets can now be processed into the gpu-friendly Basic Universal format. The ImageLoader now has a setting to define what format the image should be loaded as. Note that this is just a minimal MVP ... plenty of additional work to do here. To demo this, enable the `basis-universal` feature and turn on asset processing. * **Simpler Audio Play / AudioSink API**: Asset handle providers are cloneable, which means the Audio resource can mint its own handles. This means you can now do `let sink_handle = audio.play(music)` instead of `let sink_handle = audio_sinks.get_handle(audio.play(music))`. Note that this might still be replaced by https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8424. **Removed Handle Casting From Engine Features**: Ex: FontAtlases no longer use casting between handle types ## Using The New Asset System ### Normal Unprocessed Asset Loading By default the `AssetPlugin` does not use processing. It behaves pretty much the same way as the old system. If you are defining a custom asset, first derive `Asset`: ```rust #[derive(Asset)] struct Thing { value: String, } ``` Initialize the asset: ```rust app.init_asset:<Thing>() ``` Implement a new `AssetLoader` for it: ```rust #[derive(Default)] struct ThingLoader; #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)] pub struct ThingSettings { some_setting: bool, } impl AssetLoader for ThingLoader { type Asset = Thing; type Settings = ThingSettings; fn load<'a>( &'a self, reader: &'a mut Reader, settings: &'a ThingSettings, load_context: &'a mut LoadContext, ) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<Thing, anyhow::Error>> { Box::pin(async move { let mut bytes = Vec::new(); reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?; // convert bytes to value somehow Ok(Thing { value }) }) } fn extensions(&self) -> &[&str] { &["thing"] } } ``` Note that this interface will get much cleaner once Rust gets support for async traits. `Reader` is an async futures_io::AsyncRead. You can stream bytes as they come in or read them all into a `Vec<u8>`, depending on the context. You can use `let handle = load_context.load(path)` to kick off a dependency load, retrieve a handle, and register the dependency for the asset. Then just register the loader in your Bevy app: ```rust app.init_asset_loader::<ThingLoader>() ``` Now just add your `Thing` asset files into the `assets` folder and load them like this: ```rust fn system(asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) { let handle = Handle<Thing> = asset_server.load("cool.thing"); } ``` You can check load states directly via the asset server: ```rust if asset_server.load_state(&handle) == LoadState::Loaded { } ``` You can also listen for events: ```rust fn system(mut events: EventReader<AssetEvent<Thing>>, handle: Res<SomeThingHandle>) { for event in events.iter() { if event.is_loaded_with_dependencies(&handle) { } } } ``` Note the new `AssetEvent::LoadedWithDependencies`, which only fires when the asset is loaded _and_ all dependencies (and their dependencies) have loaded. Unlike the old asset system, for a given asset path all `Handle<T>` values point to the same underlying Arc. This means Handles can cheaply hold more asset information, such as the AssetPath: ```rust // prints the AssetPath of the handle info!("{:?}", handle.path()) ``` ### Processed Assets Asset processing can be enabled via the `AssetPlugin`. When developing Bevy Apps with processed assets, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev())) ``` This runs the `AssetProcessor` in the background with hot-reloading. It reads assets from the `assets` folder, processes them, and writes them to the `.imported_assets` folder. Asset loads in the Bevy App will wait for a processed version of the asset to become available. If an asset in the `assets` folder changes, it will be reprocessed and hot-reloaded in the Bevy App. When deploying processed Bevy apps, do this: ```rust app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed())) ``` This does not run the `AssetProcessor` in the background. It behaves like `AssetPlugin::unprocessed()`, but reads assets from `.imported_assets`. When the `AssetProcessor` is running, it will populate sibling `.meta` files for assets in the `assets` folder. Meta files for assets that do not have a processor configured look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` This is metadata for an image asset. For example, if you have `assets/my_sprite.png`, this could be the metadata stored at `assets/my_sprite.png.meta`. Meta files are totally optional. If no metadata exists, the default settings will be used. In short, this file says "load this asset with the ImageLoader and use the file extension to determine the image type". This type of meta file is supported in all AssetPlugin modes. If in `Unprocessed` mode, the asset (with the meta settings) will be loaded directly. If in `ProcessedDev` mode, the asset file will be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder. The meta will also be copied directly to the `.imported_assets` folder, but with one addition: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 12415480888597742505, full_hash: 14344495437905856884, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), ), ) ``` `processed_info` contains `hash` (a direct hash of the asset and meta bytes), `full_hash` (a hash of `hash` and the hashes of all `process_dependencies`), and `process_dependencies` (the `path` and `full_hash` of every process_dependency). A "process dependency" is an asset dependency that is _directly_ used when processing the asset. Images do not have process dependencies, so this is empty. When the processor is enabled, you can use the `Process` metadata config: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Process( processor: "bevy_asset::processor::process::LoadAndSave<bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader, bevy_render::texture::compressed_image_saver::CompressedImageSaver>", settings: ( loader_settings: ( format: FromExtension, ), saver_settings: ( generate_mipmaps: true, ), ), ), ) ``` This configures the asset to use the `LoadAndSave` processor, which runs an AssetLoader and feeds the result into an AssetSaver (which saves the given Asset and defines a loader to load it with). (for terseness LoadAndSave will likely get a shorter/friendlier type name when [Stable Type Paths](#7184) lands). `LoadAndSave` is likely to be the most common processor type, but arbitrary processors are supported. `CompressedImageSaver` saves an `Image` in the Basis Universal format and configures the ImageLoader to load it as basis universal. The `AssetProcessor` will read this meta, run it through the LoadAndSave processor, and write the basis-universal version of the image to `.imported_assets`. The final metadata will look like this: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", processed_info: Some(( hash: 905599590923828066, full_hash: 9948823010183819117, process_dependencies: [], )), asset: Load( loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader", settings: ( format: Format(Basis), ), ), ) ``` To try basis-universal processing out in Bevy examples, (for example `sprite.rs`), change `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)` to `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev()))` and run with the `basis-universal` feature enabled: `cargo run --features=basis-universal --example sprite`. To create a custom processor, there are two main paths: 1. Use the `LoadAndSave` processor with an existing `AssetLoader`. Implement the `AssetSaver` trait, register the processor using `asset_processor.register_processor::<LoadAndSave<ImageLoader, CompressedImageSaver>>(image_saver.into())`. 2. Implement the `Process` trait directly and register it using: `asset_processor.register_processor(thing_processor)`. You can configure default processors for file extensions like this: ```rust asset_processor.set_default_processor::<ThingProcessor>("thing") ``` There is one more metadata type to be aware of: ```rust ( meta_format_version: "1.0", asset: Ignore, ) ``` This will ignore the asset during processing / prevent it from being written to `.imported_assets`. The AssetProcessor stores a transaction log at `.imported_assets/log` and uses it to gracefully recover from unexpected stops. This means you can force-quit the processor (and Bevy Apps running the processor in parallel) at arbitrary times! `.imported_assets` is "local state". It should _not_ be checked into source control. It should also be considered "read only". In practice, you _can_ modify processed assets and processed metadata if you really need to test something. But those modifications will not be represented in the hashes of the assets, so the processed state will be "out of sync" with the source assets. The processor _will not_ fix this for you. Either revert the change after you have tested it, or delete the processed files so they can be re-populated. ## Open Questions There are a number of open questions to be discussed. We should decide if they need to be addressed in this PR and if so, how we will address them: ### Implied Dependencies vs Dependency Enumeration There are currently two ways to populate asset dependencies: * **Implied via AssetLoaders**: if an AssetLoader loads an asset (and retrieves a handle), a dependency is added to the list. * **Explicit via the optional Asset::visit_dependencies**: if `server.load_asset(my_asset)` is called, it will call `my_asset.visit_dependencies`, which will grab dependencies that have been manually defined for the asset via the Asset trait impl (which can be derived). This means that defining explicit dependencies is optional for "loaded assets". And the list of dependencies is always accurate because loaders can only produce Handles if they register dependencies. If an asset was loaded with an AssetLoader, it only uses the implied dependencies. If an asset was created at runtime and added with `asset_server.load_asset(MyAsset)`, it will use `Asset::visit_dependencies`. However this can create a behavior mismatch between loaded assets and equivalent "created at runtime" assets if `Assets::visit_dependencies` doesn't exactly match the dependencies produced by the AssetLoader. This behavior mismatch can be resolved by completely removing "implied loader dependencies" and requiring `Asset::visit_dependencies` to supply dependency data. But this creates two problems: * It makes defining loaded assets harder and more error prone: Devs must remember to manually annotate asset dependencies with `#[dependency]` when deriving `Asset`. For more complicated assets (such as scenes), the derive likely wouldn't be sufficient and a manual `visit_dependencies` impl would be required. * Removes the ability to immediately kick off dependency loads: When AssetLoaders retrieve a Handle, they also immediately kick off an asset load for the handle, which means it can start loading in parallel _before_ the asset finishes loading. For large assets, this could be significant. (although this could be mitigated for processed assets if we store dependencies in the processed meta file and load them ahead of time) ### Eager ProcessorDev Asset Loading I made a controversial call in the interest of fast startup times ("time to first pixel") for the "processor dev mode configuration". When initializing the AssetProcessor, current processed versions of unchanged assets are yielded immediately, even if their dependencies haven't been checked yet for reprocessing. This means that non-current-state-of-filesystem-but-previously-valid assets might be returned to the App first, then hot-reloaded if/when their dependencies change and the asset is reprocessed. Is this behavior desirable? There is largely one alternative: do not yield an asset from the processor to the app until all of its dependencies have been checked for changes. In some common cases (load dependency has not changed since last run) this will increase startup time. The main question is "by how much" and is that slower startup time worth it in the interest of only yielding assets that are true to the current state of the filesystem. Should this be configurable? I'm starting to think we should only yield an asset after its (historical) dependencies have been checked for changes + processed as necessary, but I'm curious what you all think. ### Paths Are Currently The Only Canonical ID / Do We Want Asset UUIDs? In this implementation AssetPaths are the only canonical asset identifier (just like the previous Bevy Asset system and Godot). Moving assets will result in re-scans (and currently reprocessing, although reprocessing can easily be avoided with some changes). Asset renames/moves will break code and assets that rely on specific paths, unless those paths are fixed up. Do we want / need "stable asset uuids"? Introducing them is very possible: 1. Generate a UUID and include it in .meta files 2. Support UUID in AssetPath 3. Generate "asset indices" which are loaded on startup and map UUIDs to paths. 4 (maybe). Consider only supporting UUIDs for processed assets so we can generate quick-to-load indices instead of scanning meta files. The main "pro" is that assets referencing UUIDs don't need to be migrated when a path changes. The main "con" is that UUIDs cannot be "lazily resolved" like paths. They need a full view of all assets to answer the question "does this UUID exist". Which means UUIDs require the AssetProcessor to fully finish startup scans before saying an asset doesnt exist. And they essentially require asset pre-processing to use in apps, because scanning all asset metadata files at runtime to resolve a UUID is not viable for medium-to-large apps. It really requires a pre-generated UUID index, which must be loaded before querying for assets. I personally think this should be investigated in a separate PR. Paths aren't going anywhere ... _everyone_ uses filesystems (and filesystem-like apis) to manage their asset source files. I consider them permanent canonical asset information. Additionally, they behave well for both processed and unprocessed asset modes. Given that Bevy is supporting both, this feels like the right canonical ID to start with. UUIDS (and maybe even other indexed-identifier types) can be added later as necessary. ### Folder / File Naming Conventions All asset processing config currently lives in the `.imported_assets` folder. The processor transaction log is in `.imported_assets/log`. Processed assets are added to `.imported_assets/Default`, which will make migrating to processed asset profiles (ex: a `.imported_assets/Mobile` profile) a non-breaking change. It also allows us to create top-level files like `.imported_assets/log` without it being interpreted as an asset. Meta files currently have a `.meta` suffix. Do we like these names and conventions? ### Should the `AssetPlugin::processed_dev` configuration enable `watch_for_changes` automatically? Currently it does (which I think makes sense), but it does make it the only configuration that enables watch_for_changes by default. ### Discuss on_loaded High Level Interface: This PR includes a very rough "proof of concept" `on_loaded` system adapter that uses the `LoadedWithDependencies` event in combination with `asset_server.load_asset` dependency tracking to support this pattern ```rust fn main() { App::new() .init_asset::<MyAssets>() .add_systems(Update, on_loaded(create_array_texture)) .run(); } #[derive(Asset, Clone)] struct MyAssets { #[dependency] picture_of_my_cat: Handle<Image>, #[dependency] picture_of_my_other_cat: Handle<Image>, } impl FromWorld for ArrayTexture { fn from_world(world: &mut World) -> Self { picture_of_my_cat: server.load("meow.png"), picture_of_my_other_cat: server.load("meeeeeeeow.png"), } } fn spawn_cat(In(my_assets): In<MyAssets>, mut commands: Commands) { commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_cat.clone(), ..default() }); commands.spawn(SpriteBundle { texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_other_cat.clone(), ..default() }); } ``` The implementation is _very_ rough. And it is currently unsafe because `bevy_ecs` doesn't expose some internals to do this safely from inside `bevy_asset`. There are plenty of unanswered questions like: * "do we add a Loadable" derive? (effectively automate the FromWorld implementation above) * Should `MyAssets` even be an Asset? (largely implemented this way because it elegantly builds on `server.load_asset(MyAsset { .. })` dependency tracking). We should think hard about what our ideal API looks like (and if this is a pattern we want to support). Not necessarily something we need to solve in this PR. The current `on_loaded` impl should probably be removed from this PR before merging. ## Clarifying Questions ### What about Assets as Entities? This Bevy Asset V2 proposal implementation initially stored Assets as ECS Entities. Instead of `AssetId<T>` + the `Assets<T>` resource it used `Entity` as the asset id and Asset values were just ECS components. There are plenty of compelling reasons to do this: 1. Easier to inline assets in Bevy Scenes (as they are "just" normal entities + components) 2. More flexible queries: use the power of the ECS to filter assets (ex: `Query<Mesh, With<Tree>>`). 3. Extensible. Users can add arbitrary component data to assets. 4. Things like "component visualization tools" work out of the box to visualize asset data. However Assets as Entities has a ton of caveats right now: * We need to be able to allocate entity ids without a direct World reference (aka rework id allocator in Entities ... i worked around this in my prototypes by just pre allocating big chunks of entities) * We want asset change events in addition to ECS change tracking ... how do we populate them when mutations can come from anywhere? Do we use Changed queries? This would require iterating over the change data for all assets every frame. Is this acceptable or should we implement a new "event based" component change detection option? * Reconciling manually created assets with asset-system managed assets has some nuance (ex: are they "loaded" / do they also have that component metadata?) * "how do we handle "static" / default entity handles" (ties in to the Entity Indices discussion: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/8319). This is necessary for things like "built in" assets and default handles in things like SpriteBundle. * Storing asset information as a component makes it easy to "invalidate" asset state by removing the component (or forcing modifications). Ideally we have ways to lock this down (some combination of Rust type privacy and ECS validation) In practice, how we store and identify assets is a reasonably superficial change (porting off of Assets as Entities and implementing dedicated storage + ids took less than a day). So once we sort out the remaining challenges the flip should be straightforward. Additionally, I do still have "Assets as Entities" in my commit history, so we can reuse that work. I personally think "assets as entities" is a good endgame, but it also doesn't provide _significant_ value at the moment and it certainly isn't ready yet with the current state of things. ### Why not Distill? [Distill](https://github.com/amethyst/distill) is a high quality fully featured asset system built in Rust. It is very natural to ask "why not just use Distill?". It is also worth calling out that for awhile, [we planned on adopting Distill / I signed off on it](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/708). However I think Bevy has a number of constraints that make Distill adoption suboptimal: * **Architectural Simplicity:** * Distill's processor requires an in-memory database (lmdb) and RPC networked API (using Cap'n Proto). Each of these introduces API complexity that increases maintenance burden and "code grokability". Ignoring tests, documentation, and examples, Distill has 24,237 lines of Rust code (including generated code for RPC + database interactions). If you ignore generated code, it has 11,499 lines. * Bevy builds the AssetProcessor and AssetServer using pluggable AssetReader/AssetWriter Rust traits with simple io interfaces. They do not necessitate databases or RPC interfaces (although Readers/Writers could use them if that is desired). Bevy Asset V2 (at the time of writing this PR) is 5,384 lines of Rust code (ignoring tests, documentation, and examples). Grain of salt: Distill does have more features currently (ex: Asset Packing, GUIDS, remote-out-of-process asset processor). I do plan to implement these features in Bevy Asset V2 and I personally highly doubt they will meaningfully close the 6115 lines-of-code gap. * This complexity gap (which while illustrated by lines of code, is much bigger than just that) is noteworthy to me. Bevy should be hackable and there are pillars of Distill that are very hard to understand and extend. This is a matter of opinion (and Bevy Asset V2 also has complicated areas), but I think Bevy Asset V2 is much more approachable for the average developer. * Necessary disclaimer: counting lines of code is an extremely rough complexity metric. Read the code and form your own opinions. * **Optional Asset Processing:** Not all Bevy Apps (or Bevy App developers) need / want asset preprocessing. Processing increases the complexity of the development environment by introducing things like meta files, imported asset storage, running processors in the background, waiting for processing to finish, etc. Distill _requires_ preprocessing to work. With Bevy Asset V2 processing is fully opt-in. The AssetServer isn't directly aware of asset processors at all. AssetLoaders only care about converting bytes to runtime Assets ... they don't know or care if the bytes were pre-processed or not. Processing is "elegantly" (forgive my self-congratulatory phrasing) layered on top and builds on the existing Asset system primitives. * **Direct Filesystem Access to Processed Asset State:** Distill stores processed assets in a database. This makes debugging / inspecting the processed outputs harder (either requires special tooling to query the database or they need to be "deployed" to be inspected). Bevy Asset V2, on the other hand, stores processed assets in the filesystem (by default ... this is configurable). This makes interacting with the processed state more natural. Note that both Godot and Unity's new asset system store processed assets in the filesystem. * **Portability**: Because Distill's processor uses lmdb and RPC networking, it cannot be run on certain platforms (ex: lmdb is a non-rust dependency that cannot run on the web, some platforms don't support running network servers). Bevy should be able to process assets everywhere (ex: run the Bevy Editor on the web, compile + process shaders on mobile, etc). Distill does partially mitigate this problem by supporting "streaming" assets via the RPC protocol, but this is not a full solve from my perspective. And Bevy Asset V2 can (in theory) also stream assets (without requiring RPC, although this isn't implemented yet) Note that I _do_ still think Distill would be a solid asset system for Bevy. But I think the approach in this PR is a better solve for Bevy's specific "asset system requirements". ### Doesn't async-fs just shim requests to "sync" `std::fs`? What is the point? "True async file io" has limited / spotty platform support. async-fs (and the rust async ecosystem generally ... ex Tokio) currently use async wrappers over std::fs that offload blocking requests to separate threads. This may feel unsatisfying, but it _does_ still provide value because it prevents our task pools from blocking on file system operations (which would prevent progress when there are many tasks to do, but all threads in a pool are currently blocking on file system ops). Additionally, using async APIs for our AssetReaders and AssetWriters also provides value because we can later add support for "true async file io" for platforms that support it. _And_ we can implement other "true async io" asset backends (such as networked asset io). ## Draft TODO - [x] Fill in missing filesystem event APIs: file removed event (which is expressed as dangling RenameFrom events in some cases), file/folder renamed event - [x] Assets without loaders are not moved to the processed folder. This breaks things like referenced `.bin` files for GLTFs. This should be configurable per-non-asset-type. - [x] Initial implementation of Reflect and FromReflect for Handle. The "deserialization" parity bar is low here as this only worked with static UUIDs in the old impl ... this is a non-trivial problem. Either we add a Handle::AssetPath variant that gets "upgraded" to a strong handle on scene load or we use a separate AssetRef type for Bevy scenes (which is converted to a runtime Handle on load). This deserves its own discussion in a different pr. - [x] Populate read_asset_bytes hash when run by the processor (a bit of a special case .. when run by the processor the processed meta will contain the hash so we don't need to compute it on the spot, but we don't want/need to read the meta when run by the main AssetServer) - [x] Delay hot reloading: currently filesystem events are handled immediately, which creates timing issues in some cases. For example hot reloading images can sometimes break because the image isn't finished writing. We should add a delay, likely similar to the [implementation in this PR](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8503). - [x] Port old platform-specific AssetIo implementations to the new AssetReader interface (currently missing Android and web) - [x] Resolve on_loaded unsafety (either by removing the API entirely or removing the unsafe) - [x] Runtime loader setting overrides - [x] Remove remaining unwraps that should be error-handled. There are number of TODOs here - [x] Pretty AssetPath Display impl - [x] Document more APIs - [x] Resolve spurious "reloading because it has changed" events (to repro run load_gltf with `processed_dev()`) - [x] load_dependency hot reloading currently only works for processed assets. If processing is disabled, load_dependency changes are not hot reloaded. - [x] Replace AssetInfo dependency load/fail counters with `loading_dependencies: HashSet<UntypedAssetId>` to prevent reloads from (potentially) breaking counters. Storing this will also enable "dependency reloaded" events (see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [x] Re-add filesystem watcher cargo feature gate (currently it is not optional) - [ ] Migration Guide - [ ] Changelog ## Followup TODO - [ ] Replace "eager unchanged processed asset loading" behavior with "don't returned unchanged processed asset until dependencies have been checked". - [ ] Add true `Ignore` AssetAction that does not copy the asset to the imported_assets folder. - [ ] Finish "live asset unloading" (ex: free up CPU asset memory after uploading an image to the GPU), rethink RenderAssets, and port renderer features. The `Assets` collection uses `Option<T>` for asset storage to support its removal. (1) the Option might not actually be necessary ... might be able to just remove from the collection entirely (2) need to finalize removal apis - [ ] Try replacing the "channel based" asset id recycling with something a bit more efficient (ex: we might be able to use raw atomic ints with some cleverness) - [ ] Consider adding UUIDs to processed assets (scoped just to helping identify moved assets ... not exposed to load queries ... see [Next Steps](#next-steps)) - [ ] Store "last modified" source asset and meta timestamps in processed meta files to enable skipping expensive hashing when the file wasn't changed - [ ] Fix "slow loop" handle drop fix - [ ] Migrate to TypeName - [x] Handle "loader preregistration". See #9429 ## Next Steps * **Configurable per-type defaults for AssetMeta**: It should be possible to add configuration like "all png image meta should default to using nearest sampling" (currently this hard-coded per-loader/processor Settings::default() impls). Also see the "Folder Meta" bullet point. * **Avoid Reprocessing on Asset Renames / Moves**: See the "canonical asset ids" discussion in [Open Questions](#open-questions) and the relevant bullet point in [Draft TODO](#draft-todo). Even without canonical ids, folder renames could avoid reprocessing in some cases. * **Multiple Asset Sources**: Expand AssetPath to support "asset source names" and support multiple AssetReaders in the asset server (ex: `webserver://some_path/image.png` backed by an Http webserver AssetReader). The "default" asset reader would use normal `some_path/image.png` paths. Ideally this works in combination with multiple AssetWatchers for hot-reloading * **Stable Type Names**: this pr removes the TypeUuid requirement from assets in favor of `std::any::type_name`. This makes defining assets easier (no need to generate a new uuid / use weird proc macro syntax). It also makes reading meta files easier (because things have "friendly names"). We also use type names for components in scene files. If they are good enough for components, they are good enough for assets. And consistency across Bevy pillars is desirable. However, `std::any::type_name` is not guaranteed to be stable (although in practice it is). We've developed a [stable type path](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7184) to resolve this, which should be adopted when it is ready. * **Command Line Interface**: It should be possible to run the asset processor in a separate process from the command line. This will also require building a network-server-backed AssetReader to communicate between the app and the processor. We've been planning to build a "bevy cli" for awhile. This seems like a good excuse to build it. * **Asset Packing**: This is largely an additive feature, so it made sense to me to punt this until we've laid the foundations in this PR. * **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: It should be possible to generate assets for multiple platforms by supporting multiple "processor profiles" per asset (ex: compress with format X on PC and Y on iOS). I think there should probably be arbitrary "profiles" (which can be separate from actual platforms), which are then assigned to a given platform when generating the final asset distribution for that platform. Ex: maybe devs want a "Mobile" profile that is shared between iOS and Android. Or a "LowEnd" profile shared between web and mobile. * **Versioning and Migrations**: Assets, Loaders, Savers, and Processors need to have versions to determine if their schema is valid. If an asset / loader version is incompatible with the current version expected at runtime, the processor should be able to migrate them. I think we should try using Bevy Reflect for this, as it would allow us to load the old version as a dynamic Reflect type without actually having the old Rust type. It would also allow us to define "patches" to migrate between versions (Bevy Reflect devs are currently working on patching). The `.meta` file already has its own format version. Migrating that to new versions should also be possible. * **Real Copy-on-write AssetPaths**: Rust's actual Cow (clone-on-write type) currently used by AssetPath can still result in String clones that aren't actually necessary (cloning an Owned Cow clones the contents). Bevy's asset system requires cloning AssetPaths in a number of places, which result in actual clones of the internal Strings. This is not efficient. AssetPath internals should be reworked to exhibit truer cow-like-behavior that reduces String clones to the absolute minimum. * **Consider processor-less processing**: In theory the AssetServer could run processors "inline" even if the background AssetProcessor is disabled. If we decide this is actually desirable, we could add this. But I don't think its a priority in the short or medium term. * **Pre-emptive dependency loading**: We could encode dependencies in processed meta files, which could then be used by the Asset Server to kick of dependency loads as early as possible (prior to starting the actual asset load). Is this desirable? How much time would this save in practice? * **Optimize Processor With UntypedAssetIds**: The processor exclusively uses AssetPath to identify assets currently. It might be possible to swap these out for UntypedAssetIds in some places, which are smaller / cheaper to hash and compare. * **One to Many Asset Processing**: An asset source file that produces many assets currently must be processed into a single "processed" asset source. If labeled assets can be written separately they can each have their own configured savers _and_ they could be loaded more granularly. Definitely worth exploring! * **Automatically Track "Runtime-only" Asset Dependencies**: Right now, tracking "created at runtime" asset dependencies requires adding them via `asset_server.load_asset(StandardMaterial::default())`. I think with some cleverness we could also do this for `materials.add(StandardMaterial::default())`, making tracking work "everywhere". There are challenges here relating to change detection / ensuring the server is made aware of dependency changes. This could be expensive in some cases. * **"Dependency Changed" events**: Some assets have runtime artifacts that need to be re-generated when one of their dependencies change (ex: regenerate a material's bind group when a Texture needs to change). We are generating the dependency graph so we can definitely produce these events. Buuuuut generating these events will have a cost / they could be high frequency for some assets, so we might want this to be opt-in for specific cases. * **Investigate Storing More Information In Handles**: Handles can now store arbitrary information, which makes it cheaper and easier to access. How much should we move into them? Canonical asset load states (via atomics)? (`handle.is_loaded()` would be very cool). Should we store the entire asset and remove the `Assets<T>` collection? (`Arc<RwLock<Option<Image>>>`?) * **Support processing and loading files without extensions**: This is a pretty arbitrary restriction and could be supported with very minimal changes. * **Folder Meta**: It would be nice if we could define per folder processor configuration defaults (likely in a `.meta` or `.folder_meta` file). Things like "default to linear filtering for all Images in this folder". * **Replace async_broadcast with event-listener?** This might be approximately drop-in for some uses and it feels more light weight * **Support Running the AssetProcessor on the Web**: Most of the hard work is done here, but there are some easy straggling TODOs (make the transaction log an interface instead of a direct file writer so we can write a web storage backend, implement an AssetReader/AssetWriter that reads/writes to something like LocalStorage). * **Consider identifying and preventing circular dependencies**: This is especially important for "processor dependencies", as processing will silently never finish in these cases. * **Built-in/Inlined Asset Hot Reloading**: This PR regresses "built-in/inlined" asset hot reloading (previously provided by the DebugAssetServer). I'm intentionally punting this because I think it can be cleanly implemented with "multiple asset sources" by registering a "debug asset source" (ex: `debug://bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr.wgsl` asset paths) in combination with an AssetWatcher for that asset source and support for "manually loading pats with asset bytes instead of AssetReaders". The old DebugAssetServer was quite nasty and I'd love to avoid that hackery going forward. * **Investigate ways to remove double-parsing meta files**: Parsing meta files currently involves parsing once with "minimal" versions of the meta file to extract the type name of the loader/processor config, then parsing again to parse the "full" meta. This is suboptimal. We should be able to define custom deserializers that (1) assume the loader/processor type name comes first (2) dynamically looks up the loader/processor registrations to deserialize settings in-line (similar to components in the bevy scene format). Another alternative: deserialize as dynamic Reflect objects and then convert. * **More runtime loading configuration**: Support using the Handle type as a hint to select an asset loader (instead of relying on AssetPath extensions) * **More high level Processor trait implementations**: For example, it might be worth adding support for arbitrary chains of "asset transforms" that modify an in-memory asset representation between loading and saving. (ex: load a Mesh, run a `subdivide_mesh` transform, followed by a `flip_normals` transform, then save the mesh to an efficient compressed format). * **Bevy Scene Handle Deserialization**: (see the relevant [Draft TODO item](#draft-todo) for context) * **Explore High Level Load Interfaces**: See [this discussion](#discuss-on_loaded-high-level-interface) for one prototype. * **Asset Streaming**: It would be great if we could stream Assets (ex: stream a long video file piece by piece) * **ID Exchanging**: In this PR Asset Handles/AssetIds are bigger than they need to be because they have a Uuid enum variant. If we implement an "id exchanging" system that trades Uuids for "efficient runtime ids", we can cut down on the size of AssetIds, making them more efficient. This has some open design questions, such as how to spawn entities with "default" handle values (as these wouldn't have access to the exchange api in the current system). * **Asset Path Fixup Tooling**: Assets that inline asset paths inside them will break when an asset moves. The asset system provides the functionality to detect when paths break. We should build a framework that enables formats to define "path migrations". This is especially important for scene files. For editor-generated files, we should also consider using UUIDs (see other bullet point) to avoid the need to migrate in these cases. --------- Co-authored-by: BeastLe9enD <beastle9end@outlook.de> Co-authored-by: Mike <mike.hsu@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Nicola Papale <nicopap@users.noreply.github.com> |
