v0.7.0

0.7.0 - 2025-02-27

This release supports Bevy version 0.15 and has an MSRV of 1.85.

Added

• Added VelloView marker component used for identifying cameras rendering vello content.
• Added VelloEntityCountDiagnosticsPlugin which can be used to provide vello entity type data at runtime. See the diagnostics example.
• Added VelloFrameProfileDiagnosticsPlugin which can be used to provide vello frame profile data at runtime. See the diagnostics example.

Changed

• bevy_vello now uses Bevy 0.15
• Camera2d now requires a VelloView marker for rendering.
• VelloAsset assets have been separated into VelloSvg and VelloLottie
• VelloAssetBundle has been separated into VelloSvgBundle and VelloLottieBundle
• Handle<VelloAsset> has been separated into VelloSvgHandle and VelloLottieHandle
• VelloAssetAnchor has been separated into VelloSvgAnchor and VelloLottieAnchor
• The license on bevy_vello no longer includes OFL 1.1
• The experimental-dotLottie feature was removed and merged into the lottie feature.
• DotLottiePlayer was renamed to LottiePlayer.
• All render types (VelloSvgHandle, VelloLottieHandle, VelloScene, and VelloTextSection) now have required components as an alternative to their bundle counterparts.

Removed

• Removed DebugVisualizations. Now you should use BorderColor for UI Nodes and Gizmos for world assets. Several examples show this capability, such as the svg and svg_ui examples.
• Removed CoordinateSpace. If you wish to render scene or asset UI, insert a Node component. For more information, see the scene_ui, svg_ui, or lottie_ui examples.
• VelloText (with CoordinateSpace::ScreenSpace) can no longer render text in screen space. You should be using bevy's native Text for UI text, which is more feature rich and widely used.

Fixed

• We no longer bundle the default font twice when the default_font feature is active.

Full Changelog: v0.6.1...v0.7.0

v0.6.1

0.6.1 - 2024-08-14

This release supports Bevy version 0.14 and has an MSRV of 1.80.

Fixed

• Text is now properly skipped when a SkipEncoding component is present. (#77 by @simbleau)

v0.6.0

0.6.0 - 2024-08-09

This release supports Bevy version 0.14 and has an MSRV of 1.80.

Added

• There is now a default_font feature that uses the same FiraMono-subset.ttf font used in the bevy/default_font feature.
• There is now a render_layers example.
• There is now a cube_3d example.
• You may now choose the render layers for the Vello canvas. This can be configured through the VelloPlugin.
• You may now choose to use CPU rendering with Vello and configure anti-aliasing. This can be configured through the VelloPlugin.
• Added the SkipEncoding component, which allows you to skip encoding any renderable asset without removing the asset.

Changed

• VelloPlugin now has configuration. To retain previous behavior, use VelloPlugin::default().
• VelloRenderer is now a resource.
• The VelloRenderer will attempt CPU fallback if it cannot obtain a GPU.
• The font API has changed significantly. Please visit examples/text for further usage. This is to prepare for additional text features such as linebreak behavior, bounded text, and text justification.
  • VelloText has been renamed to VelloTextSection.
  • VelloText.content has been renamed to VelloText.value.
  • There is now a VelloTextStyle struct and it is a required field of VelloText.
  • VelloFont has been removed from VelloTextBundle and moved into VelloTextStyle.
• The field VelloAssetBundle.vector was renamed to VelloAssetBundle.asset.
• Renamed VelloAssetAlignment to VelloAssetAnchor. Fields were renamed alignment were renamed to asset_anchor.
• Renamed VelloTextAlignment to VelloTextAnchor. Fields were renamed alignment were renamed to text_anchor.
• The SSRenderTarget (fullscreen quad that renders your frame) no longer renders at a zepth of -0.001. This was a legacy hack used to ensure Gizmos rendered on-top. RenderLayers should be used now (there's an example).

Removed

• Removed ZFunctions from the render pipeline. Now ordering is based solely on the Transform's z component. If you dependeded on this behavior, you'll need to adjust the transform Z in a system prior to render.
• VelloRenderPlugin is now private, as it is not helpful for downstream developers to add manually.
• Removed VelloCanvasMaterial from prelude, as it is not typical to use.

Fixed

• Text, assets, and scenes rendered will now correctly respect camera RenderLayers.

v0.5.1

0.5.1

Fixed

• Updated to patch vello 0.2.1. It is now no-longer possible to panic when the vello encodings are empty.
• The demo CI now deploys that bevy_pancam has been updated to bevy 0.14

Full Changelog: v0.5.0...v0.5.1

Changed

• Updated to bevy 0.14

Fixed

• Removed Arc in another Arc for VelloFont
• Opacity now correctly applies to SVG assets.
• Opacity now applies correctly to the lottie image group, rather than each element and path within it, causing overdraw.
• VelloScene components on bevy::ui::Node entities now account for Bevy's UI layout systems and render at the expected viewport coordinates

Removed

• Pancam and/or egui from all examples besides the demo, as external dependencies can bottleneck upgrading to the next bevy version.

Changed

  • SVG (.svg) support is now added through a cargo feature svg.
  • Lottie (.json) support is now added through the cargo feature lottie.
  • experimental dotLottie features (LottiePlayer, PlayerTransition, PlayerState) are now feature-gated through the cargo feature experimental-dotLottie. This is only partial support, and a work in progress.
  • Theme is now activated through the lottie feature, as it was only possible to style runtime lotties.
  • VelloAsset.metadata() is no longer available, as it is specific to Lottie. There is now a trait, LottieExt that can be imported to call .metadata() on a Composition instead. This is no longer fallible as a result.

• LottiePlayer was renamed to DotLottiePlayer.
