# Objective
@cart noticed some issues with my work in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17348#discussion_r2001815637,
which I somehow missed before merging the PR.
## Solution
- feature gate the UiPickingPlugin correctly
- don't manually add the picking plugins
## Testing
Ran the debug_picking and sprite_picking examples (for UI and sprites
respectively): both seem to work fine.
# Objective
Currently, our picking backends are inconsistent:
- Mesh picking and sprite picking both have configurable opt in/out
behavior. UI picking does not.
- Sprite picking uses `SpritePickingCamera` and `Pickable` for control,
but mesh picking uses `RayCastPickable`.
- `MeshPickingPlugin` is not a part of `DefaultPlugins`.
`SpritePickingPlugin` and `UiPickingPlugin` are.
## Solution
- Add configurable opt in/out behavior to UI picking (defaults to opt
out).
- Replace `RayCastPickable` with `MeshPickingCamera` and `Pickable`.
- Remove `SpritePickingPlugin` and `UiPickingPlugin` from
`DefaultPlugins`.
## Testing
Ran some examples.
## Migration Guide
`UiPickingPlugin` and `SpritePickingPlugin` are no longer included in
`DefaultPlugins`. They must be explicitly added.
`RayCastPickable` has been replaced in favor of the `MeshPickingCamera`
and `Pickable` components. You should add them to cameras and entities,
respectively, if you have `MeshPickingSettings::require_markers` set to
`true`.

# Objective
It's difficult to understand or make changes to the UI systems because
of how each system needs to individually track changes to scale factor,
windows and camera targets in local hashmaps, particularly for new
contributors. Any major change inevitably introduces new scale factor
bugs.
Instead of per-system resolution we can resolve the camera target info
for all UI nodes in a system at the start of `PostUpdate` and then store
it per-node in components that can be queried with change detection.
Fixes#17578Fixes#15143
## Solution
Store the UI render target's data locally per node in a component that
is updated in `PostUpdate` before any other UI systems run.
This component can be then be queried with change detection so that UI
systems no longer need to have knowledge of cameras and windows and
don't require fragile custom change detection solutions using local
hashmaps.
## Showcase
Compare `measure_text_system` from main (which has a bug the causes it
to use the wrong scale factor when a node's camera target changes):
```
pub fn measure_text_system(
mut scale_factors_buffer: Local<EntityHashMap<f32>>,
mut last_scale_factors: Local<EntityHashMap<f32>>,
fonts: Res<Assets<Font>>,
camera_query: Query<(Entity, &Camera)>,
default_ui_camera: DefaultUiCamera,
ui_scale: Res<UiScale>,
mut text_query: Query<
(
Entity,
Ref<TextLayout>,
&mut ContentSize,
&mut TextNodeFlags,
&mut ComputedTextBlock,
Option<&UiTargetCamera>,
),

>,
mut text_reader: TextUiReader,
mut text_pipeline: ResMut<TextPipeline>,
mut font_system: ResMut<CosmicFontSystem>,
) {
scale_factors_buffer.clear();
let default_camera_entity = default_ui_camera.get();
for (entity, block, content_size, text_flags, computed, maybe_camera) in &mut text_query {
let Some(camera_entity) = maybe_camera
.map(UiTargetCamera::entity)
.or(default_camera_entity)
else {
continue;
};
let scale_factor = match scale_factors_buffer.entry(camera_entity) {
Entry::Occupied(entry) => *entry.get(),
Entry::Vacant(entry) => *entry.insert(
camera_query
.get(camera_entity)
.ok()
.and_then(|(_, c)| c.target_scaling_factor())
.unwrap_or(1.0)
* ui_scale.0,
),
};

|| computed.needs_rerender()
|| text_flags.needs_measure_fn
|| content_size.is_added()
{
create_text_measure(
entity,
&fonts,
scale_factor.into(),
text_reader.iter(entity),
block,
&mut text_pipeline,
content_size,
text_flags,
computed,
&mut font_system,
);
}
}
core::mem::swap(&mut *last_scale_factors, &mut *scale_factors_buffer);
}
```
with `measure_text_system` from this PR (which always uses the correct
scale factor):
```
pub fn measure_text_system(
fonts: Res<Assets<Font>>,
mut text_query: Query<
(
Entity,
Ref<TextLayout>,
&mut ContentSize,
&mut TextNodeFlags,
&mut ComputedTextBlock,
Ref<ComputedNodeTarget>,
),
With<Node>,
>,
mut text_reader: TextUiReader,
mut text_pipeline: ResMut<TextPipeline>,
mut font_system: ResMut<CosmicFontSystem>,
) {
for (entity, block, content_size, text_flags, computed, computed_target) in &mut text_query {
// Note: the ComputedTextBlock::needs_rerender bool is cleared in create_text_measure().
if computed_target.is_changed()
|| computed.needs_rerender()
|| text_flags.needs_measure_fn
|| content_size.is_added()
{
create_text_measure(
entity,
&fonts,
computed_target.scale_factor.into(),
text_reader.iter(entity),
block,
&mut text_pipeline,
content_size,
text_flags,
computed,
&mut font_system,
);
}
}
}
```
## Testing
I removed an alarming number of tests from the `layout` module but they
were mostly to do with the deleted camera synchronisation logic. The
remaining tests should all pass now.
The most relevant examples are `multiple_windows` and `split_screen`,
the behaviour of both should be unchanged from main.

# Objective
Fixes#17718
## Solution
Schedule `text_system` before `AssetEvents`.
I guess what was happening here is that glyphs weren't shown because
`text_system` was running before `AssetEevents` and so `prepare_uinodes`
never recieves the the asset modified event about the glyph texture
atlas image.
# Objective
Basic `TextShadow` support.
## Solution
New `TextShadow` component with `offset` and `color` fields. Just insert
it on a `Text` node to add a shadow.
New system `extract_text_shadows` handles rendering.
It's not "real" shadows just the text redrawn with an offset and a
different colour. Blur-radius support will need changes to the shaders
and be a lot more complicated, whereas this still looks okay and took a
couple of minutes to implement.
I added the `TextShadow` component to `bevy_ui` rather than `bevy_text`
because it only supports the UI atm.
We can add a `Text2d` version in a followup but getting the same effect
in `Text2d` is trivial even without official support.

# Objective
It's not immediately obvious that `TargetCamera` only works with UI node
entities. It's natural to assume from looking at something like the
`multiple_windows` example that it will work with everything.
## Solution
Rename `TargetCamera` to `UiTargetCamera`.

`TargetCamera` has been renamed to `UiTargetCamera`.

# Objective
I realized that setting these to `deny` may have been a little
aggressive - especially since we upgrade warnings to denies in CI.
## Solution
Downgrades these lints to `warn`, so that compiles can work locally. CI
will still treat these as denies.
# Objective
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111
## Solution
Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and
`clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `deny`, and bring
`bevy_ui` in line with the new restrictions.
## Testing
`cargo clippy --tests` and `cargo test --package bevy_ui` were run, and
no errors were encountered.
Currently, `check_visibility` is parameterized over a query filter that
specifies the type of potentially-visible object. This has the
unfortunate side effect that we need a separate system,
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`, to trigger view
visibility change detection. That system is quite slow because it must
iterate sequentially over all entities in the scene.
This PR moves the query filter from `check_visibility` to a new
component, `VisibilityClass`. `VisibilityClass` stores a list of type
IDs, each corresponding to one of the query filters we used to use.
Because `check_visibility` is no longer specialized to the query filter
at the type level, Bevy now only needs to invoke it once, leading to
better performance as `check_visibility` can do change detection on the
fly rather than delegating it to a separate system.
This commit also has ergonomic improvements, as there's no need for
applications that want to add their own custom renderable components to
add specializations of the `check_visibility` system to the schedule.
Instead, they only need to ensure that the `ViewVisibility` component is
properly kept up to date. The recommended way to do this, and the way
that's demonstrated in the `custom_phase_item` and
`specialized_mesh_pipeline` examples, is to make `ViewVisibility` a
required component and to add the type ID to it in a component add hook.
This patch does this for `Mesh3d`, `Mesh2d`, `Sprite`, `Light`, and
`Node`, which means that most app code doesn't need to change at all.
Note that, although this patch has a large impact on the performance of
visibility determination, it doesn't actually improve the end-to-end
frame time of `many_cubes`. That's because the render world was already
effectively hiding the latency from
`mark_view_visibility_as_changed_if_necessary`. This patch is, however,
necessary for *further* improvements to `many_cubes` performance.
`many_cubes` trace before:
`many_cubes` trace after:
## Migration Guide
* `check_visibility` no longer takes a `QueryFilter`, and there's no
need to add it manually to your app schedule anymore for custom
rendering items. Instead, entities with custom renderable components
should add the appropriate type IDs to `VisibilityClass`. See
`custom_phase_item` for an example.
# Objective
We were waiting for 1.83 to address most of these, due to a bug with
`missing_docs` and `expect`. Relates to, but does not entirely complete,
#15059.
## Solution
- Upgrade to 1.83
- Switch `allow(missing_docs)` to `expect(missing_docs)`
- Remove a few now-unused `allow`s along the way, or convert to `expect`
# Objective
- Register `BoxShadow` type for reflection
## Testing
- Tested that box shadow example compiles and runs
## Additional
- It would be nice to have this in 0.15.1
# 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.

of the `UiDebugOptions` resource to `true`.
# Objective
The `UiBoxShadowSamples` resource should be renamed to
`BoxShadowSamples` so it matches the `BoxShadow` component.
## Migration Guide
`UiBoxShadowSamples` has been renamed to `BoxShadowSamples`
# Objective
- Fixes#16472.
## Solution
- Add flags to `SpritePlugin` and `UiPlugin` to disable their picking
backends.
## Testing
- The change is pretty trivial, so not much to test!
---
## Migration Guide
- `UiPlugin` now contains an extra `add_picking` field if
`bevy_ui_picking_backend` is enabled.
- `SpritePlugin` is no longer a unit struct, and has one field if
`bevy_sprite_picking_backend` is enabled (otherwise no fields).
# Objective
Needing to derive `AnimationEvent` for `Event` is unnecessary, and the
trigger logic coupled to it feels like we're coupling "event producer"
logic with the event itself, which feels wrong. It also comes with a
bunch of complexity, which is again unnecessary. We can have the
flexibility of "custom animation event trigger logic" without this
coupling and complexity.
The current `animation_events` example is also needlessly complicated,
due to it needing to work around system ordering issues. The docs
describing it are also slightly wrong. We can make this all a non-issue
by solving the underlying ordering problem.
Related to this, we use the `bevy_animation::Animation` system set to
solve PostUpdate animation order-of-operations issues. If we move this
to bevy_app as part of our "core schedule", we can cut out needless
`bevy_animation` crate dependencies in these instances.
## Solution
- Remove `AnimationEvent`, the derive, and all other infrastructure
associated with it (such as the `bevy_animation/derive` crate)
- Replace all instances of `AnimationEvent` traits with `Event + Clone`
- Store and use functions for custom animation trigger logic (ex:
`clip.add_event_fn()`). For "normal" cases users dont need to think
about this and should use the simpler `clip.add_event()`
- Run the `Animation` system set _before_ updating text
- Move `bevy_animation::Animation` to `bevy_app::Animation`. Remove
unnecessary `bevy_animation` dependency from `bevy_ui`
- Adjust `animation_events` example to use the simpler `clip.add_event`
API, as the workarounds are no longer necessary
This is polishing work that will land in 0.15, and I think it is simple
enough and valuable enough to land in 0.15 with it, in the interest of
making the feature as compelling as possible.
# Objective
1. UI texture slicing chops and scales an image to fit the size of a
node and isn't meant to place any constraints on the size of the node
itself, but because the required components changes required `ImageSize`
and `ContentSize` for nodes with `UiImage`, texture sliced nodes are
laid out using an `ImageMeasure`.
2. In 0.14 users could spawn a `(UiImage, NodeBundle)` which would
display an image stretched to fill the UI node's bounds ignoring the
image's instrinsic size. Now that `UiImage` requires `ContentSize`,
there's no option to display an image without its size placing
constrains on the UI layout (unless you force the `Node` to a fixed
size, but that's not a solution).
3. It's desirable that the `Sprite` and `UiImage` share similar APIs.
Fixes#16109
## Solution
* Remove the `Component` impl from `ImageScaleMode`.
* Add a `Stretch` variant to `ImageScaleMode`.
* Add a field `scale_mode: ImageScaleMode` to `Sprite`.
* Add a field `mode: UiImageMode` to `UiImage`.
* Add an enum `UiImageMode` similar to `ImageScaleMode` but with
additional UI specific variants.
* Remove the queries for `ImageScaleMode` from Sprite and UI extraction,
and refer to the new fields instead.
* Change `ui_layout_system` to update measure funcs on any change to
`ContentSize`s to enable manual clearing without removing the component.
* Don't add a measure unless `UiImageMode::Auto` is set in
`update_image_content_size_system`. Mutably deref the `Mut<ContentSize>`
if the `UiImage` is changed to force removal of any existing measure
func.
## Testing
Remove all the constraints from the ui_texture_slice example:
```rust
//! This example illustrates how to create buttons with their textures sliced
//! and kept in proportion instead of being stretched by the button dimensions
use bevy::{
color::palettes::css::{GOLD, ORANGE},

winit::WinitSettings,

let mut text = text_query.get_mut(children[0]).unwrap();
match *interaction {
Interaction::Pressed => {
**text = "Press".to_string();
image.color = GOLD.into();

let slicer = TextureSlicer {

center_scale_mode: SliceScaleMode::Stretch,
sides_scale_mode: SliceScaleMode::Stretch,
max_corner_scale: 1.0,
};
// ui camera
commands.spawn(Camera2d);
commands
.spawn(Node {

height: Val::Percent(100.0),
align_items: AlignItems::Center,
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
..default()
})
.with_children(|parent| {
for [w, h] in [[150.0, 150.0], [300.0, 150.0], [150.0, 300.0]] {
parent
.spawn((
Button,
Node {
// width: Val::Px(w),
// height: Val::Px(h),
// horizontally center child text
justify_content: JustifyContent::Center,
// vertically center child text
align_items: AlignItems::Center,

..default()
},

// TextColor(Color::srgb(0.9, 0.9, 0.9)),
// ));
});
}
});
}
```
This should result in a blank window, since without any constraints the
texture slice image nodes should be zero-sized. But in main the image
nodes are given the size of the underlying unsliced source image
`textures/fantasy_ui_borders/panel-border-010.png`:
<img width="321" alt="slicing"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cbd74c9c-14cd-4b4d-93c6-7c0152bb05ee">
For this PR need to change the lines:
```
UiImage::new(image.clone()),
ImageScaleMode::Sliced(slicer.clone()),
```
to
```
UiImage::new(image.clone()).with_mode(UiImageMode::Sliced(slicer.clone()),
```
and then nothing should be rendered, as desired.

# Objective
`UiImage` isn't just a general image component now, it's the defining
component for the image widget so it belongs in the image widget's
module.
# Objective
- `MeshPickingBackend` and `SpritePickingBackend` do not have the
`Plugin` suffix
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is masquerading as a `Plugin` when in reality
it should be a `PluginGroup`
- Fixes#16081.
## Solution
- Rename some structures:
|Original Name|New Name|
|-|-|
|`MeshPickingBackend`|`MeshPickingPlugin`|
|`MeshPickingBackendSettings`|`MeshPickingSettings`|
|`SpritePickingBackend`|`SpritePickingPlugin`|
|`UiPickingBackendPlugin`|`UiPickingPlugin`|
- Make `DefaultPickingPlugins` a `PluginGroup`.
- Because `DefaultPickingPlugins` is within the `DefaultPlugins` plugin
group, I also added support for nested plugin groups to the
`plugin_group!` macro.
## Testing
- I used ripgrep to ensure all references were properly renamed.
- For the `plugin_group!` macro, I used `cargo expand` to manually
inspect the expansion of `DefaultPlugins`.
---
## Migration Guide
> [!NOTE]
>
> All 3 of the changed structures were added after 0.14, so this does
not need to be included in the 0.14 to 0.15 migration guide.
- `MeshPickingBackend` is now named `MeshPickingPlugin`.
- `MeshPickingBackendSettings` is now named `MeshPickingSettings`.
- `SpritePickingBackend` is now named `SpritePickingPlugin`.
- `UiPickingBackendPlugin` is now named `UiPickingPlugin`.
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is now a a `PluginGroup` instead of a
`Plugin`.
# Objective
Make UI rendering optional.
Quite a few people have been experimenting with using Bevy UI for layout
and interaction but replacing the rendering with `bevy_prototype_lyon`
or whatever. It's awkward to do though as there is no way to disable the
existing UI rendering requiring users to create their own custom node
bundles and components. Also, you can't replace the UI's shader and a
number of other things.
This PR makes the setup and initialization of UI rendering for the
RenderApp optional. Then you can do whatever you want by replacing
`build_ui_render` with your own function. For instance, one that loads a
custom shader.
The UI layout and interaction components are still updated as normal.
## Solution
Add a field `enable_rendering` to `UiPlugin`.
Only call `build_ui_render` and initialize the `UiPipeline` if
`enable_rendering` is false.
I thought about implementing a "bevy_ui_render" feature but suspect
everything is too tightly coupled atm and it would be very fragile.
Similar to the struggles with the "bevy_text" feature but worse.
---
## Changelog
`UiPlugin`
* Added a bool field `enable_rendering`.
* Only calls `build_ui_render` and initializes the `UiPipeline` if
`enable_rendering` is true.
## Migration Guide
`UiPlugin` has a new field `enable_rendering`. If set to false, the UI's
rendering systems won't be added to the `RenderApp` and no UI elements
will be drawn. The layout and interaction components will still be
updated as normal.
# Objective
Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)
## Solution
As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.
This accomplishes a number of goals:
## Ergonomics wins
Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
## Conceptual clarity
`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).
By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.
## Next Steps
* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.
---
## Migration Guide
Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.
Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
Node::default(),
Style {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
},
));
```
After:
```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
width: Val::Px(100.),
..default()
});
```
For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:
Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
for node in &nodes {
let computed_size = node.size();
}
}
```
After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
let computed_size = computed_node.size();
}
}
```
# 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
Cleanup naming and docs, add missing migration guide after #15591
All text root nodes now use `Text` (UI) / `Text2d`.
All text readers/writers use `Text<Type>Reader`/`Text<Type>Writer`
convention.
---
## Migration Guide
Doubles as #15591 migration guide.
Text bundles (`TextBundle` and `Text2dBundle`) were removed in favor of
`Text` and `Text2d`.
Shared configuration fields were replaced with `TextLayout`, `TextFont`
and `TextColor` components.
Just `TextBundle`'s additional field turned into `TextNodeFlags`
component,
while `Text2dBundle`'s additional fields turned into `TextBounds` and
`Anchor` components.
Text sections were removed in favor of hierarchy-based approach.
For root text entities with `Text` or `Text2d` components, child
entities with `TextSpan` will act as additional text sections.
To still access text spans by index, use the new `TextUiReader`,
`Text2dReader` and `TextUiWriter`, `Text2dWriter` system parameters.
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**
# Objective
- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014
## Solution
This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. I separated `TextSpan` from
`TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode`
component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI.
Extra changes:
- Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference.
This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than
`self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable
reference for this reason.
## Testing
- [x] Text examples all work.

TODO: very breaking
### Accessing text spans by index
Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a
hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters
to access spans by index.
Before:
```rust
fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) {
let text = query.single_mut();
text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
After:
```rust
fn refresh_text(
query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>,
mut writer: UiTextWriter,
time: Res<Time>
) {
let entity = query.single();
*writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```
### Iterating text spans
Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader`
and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that
hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal
iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of
the spans.

# Objective
- Closes#15720
## Solution
Wrap the handle in a new wrapper component: `UiMaterialHandle`
It's not possible to match the naming convention of `MeshMaterial3d/2d`
here with the trait already being called `UiMaterial`
Should we consider renaming to `Material3d/2dHandle` and `Mesh3d/2d` to
`Mesh3d/2dHandle`?
- This shouldn't have any merge conflicts with #15591
## Testing
Tested the `ui_material` example
## Migration Guide
Let's defer the migration guide to the required component port. I just
want to yeet the `Component` impl on `Handle` in the meantime :)
# Objective
UI box shadow support
Adds a new component `BoxShadow`:
```rust
pub struct BoxShadow {
/// The shadow's color
pub color: Color,
/// Horizontal offset
pub x_offset: Val,
/// Vertical offset
pub y_offset: Val,
/// Horizontal difference in size from the occluding uninode
pub spread_radius: Val,
/// Blurriness of the shadow
pub blur_radius: Val,
}
```
To use `BoxShadow`, add the component to any Bevy UI node and a shadow
will be drawn beneath that node.
Also adds a resource `BoxShadowSamples` that can be used to adjust the
shadow quality.
#### Notes
* I'm not super happy with the field names. Maybe we need a `struct Size
{ width: Val, height: Val }` type or something.
* The shader isn't very optimised but I don't see that it's too
important for now as the number of shadows being rendered is not going
to be massive most of the time. I think it's more important to get the
API and geometry correct with this PR.
* I didn't implement an inset property, it's not essential and can
easily be added in a follow up.
* Shadows are only rendered for uinodes, not for images or text.
* Batching isn't supported, it would need out-of-the-scope-of-this-pr
changes to the way the UI handles z-ordering for it to be effective.

systems to use it to traverse for UI children.
- [x] `ghost_hierarchy` module
- [x] Add `GhostNode`
- [x] Add `UiRootNodes` system param for iterating (ghost-aware) UI root
nodes

`ghost_hierarchy`
- [x] Ensure this fulfills the needs for currently known use cases
- [x] Reactivity libraries (test with `bevy_reactor`)
- [ ] Text spans (mentioned by koe [on
discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1285371432460881991/1285377442998915246))

## Performance
[See comment
below](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/15341#issuecomment-2385456820)
## Migration guide
Any code that previously relied on `Parent`/`Children` to iterate UI
children may now want to use `bevy_ui::UiChildren` to ensure ghost nodes
are skipped, and their first descendant Nodes included.
UI root nodes may now be children of ghost nodes, which means
`Without<Parent>` might not query all root nodes. Use
`bevy_ui::UiRootNodes` where needed to iterate root nodes instead.
## Potential future work
- Benchmarking/optimizations of hierarchies containing lots of ghost
nodes
- Further exploration of UI hierarchies and markers for root nodes/leaf
nodes to create better ergonomics for things like `UiLayer` (world-space
ui)

# 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.

# Objective
Fixes#15306
## Solution
- Add feature gate on the module and the place where each one is used
- Declare the features and make them default
## Testing
- CI
# Objective
> Rust 1.81 released the #[expect(...)] attribute, which works like
#[allow(...)] but throws a warning if the lint isn't raised. This is
preferred to #[allow(...)] because it tells us when it can be removed.
- Adopts the parts of #15118 that are complete, and updates the branch
so it can be merged.
- There were a few conflicts, let me know if I misjudged any of 'em.
Alice's

# 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. 🫠

# Objective
As discussed in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/7386, system
order ambiguities within `DefaultPlugins` are a source of bugs in the
engine and badly pollute diagnostic output for users.
We should eliminate them!
This PR is an alternative to #15027: with all external ambiguities
silenced, this should be much less prone to merge conflicts and the test
output should be much easier for authors to understand.
Note that system order ambiguities are still permitted in the
`RenderApp`: these need a bit of thought in terms of how to test them,
and will be fairly involved to fix. While these aren't *good*, they'll
generally only cause graphical bugs, not logic ones.
## Solution
All remaining system order ambiguities have been resolved.
Review this PR commit-by-commit to see how each of these problems were
fixed.
## Testing
`cargo run --example ambiguity_detection` passes with no panics or
logging!
# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14183
## Solution
Reimplement the UI texture atlas slicer using a shader.
The problems with #14183 could be fixed more simply by hacking around
with the coordinates and scaling but that way is very fragile and might
get broken again the next time we make changes to the layout
calculations. A shader based solution is more robust, it's impossible
for gaps to appear between the image slices with these changes as we're
only drawing a single quad.
I've not tried any benchmarks yet but it should much more efficient as
well, in the worst cases even hundreds or thousands of times faster.
Maybe could have used the UiMaterialPipeline. I wrote the shader first
and used fat vertices and then realised it wouldn't work that way with a
UiMaterial. If it's rewritten it so it puts all the slice geometry in
uniform buffer, then it might work? Adding the uniform buffer would
probably make the shader more complicated though, so don't know if it's
even worth it. Instancing is another alternative.
## Testing
The examples are working and it seems to match the old API correctly but
I've not used the texture atlas slicing API for anything before, I
reviewed the PR but that was back in January.
Needs a review by someone who knows the rendering pipeline and wgsl
really well because I don't really have any idea what I'm doing.
# Objective
`resolve_outlines_system` wasn't updated when multi-window support was
added and it always uses the size of the primary window when resolving
viewport coords, regardless of the layout's camera target.
Fixes#14945
## Solution
It's awkward to get the viewport size of the target for an individual
node without walking the tree or adding extra fields to `Node`, so I
removed `resolve_outlines_system` and instead the outline values are
updated in `ui_layout_system`.

# Objective
This `apply_deferred` doesn't seem to have any effect, pointlessly
restricts parallelism and is responsible for a large number of system
order ambiguities. Spotted as part of #7386.
## Solution
Remove it.
This is the *only* manual apply_deferred in the code base currently.
## Testing
I've checked various UI examples and `split_screen`, and couldn't
discern any difference.
This looks like a remnant of a `(a, apply_deferred, b).chain()` pattern
where `b` got removed, leaving us with a weird vestige.
Makes the newly merged picking usable for UI elements.
currently it both triggers the events, as well as sends them as throught
commands.trigger_targets. We should probably figure out if this is
needed for them all.
# Objective
Hooks up obserers and picking for a very simple example
## Solution
upstreamed the UI picking backend from bevy_mod_picking
## Testing
tested with the new example picking/simple_picking.rs

# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14277.
May also fix https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14255, needs
verification.
## Solution
Explicitly order `CameraUpdateSystem` before `UiSystem::Prepare`, so
that when the window resizes, `camera_system` will update the `Camera`'s
viewport size before `ui_layout_system` also reacts to the window resize
and tries to read the new `Camera` viewport size to set UI node sizes
accordingly.
## Testing
I tested that explicitly ordering `CameraUpdateSystem` _after_ triggers
the buggy behavior, and explicitly ordering it _before_ does not trigger
the buggy behavior or crash the app (which also demonstrates that the
system sets are ambiguous).
---
## Migration Guide
`CameraUpdateSystem` is now explicitly ordered before
`UiSystem::Prepare` instead of being ambiguous with it.
