# egui 0.33.0 changelog
Highlights from this release:
- `egui::Plugin` a improved way to create and access egui plugins
- [kitdiff](https://github.com/rerun-io/kitdiff), a viewer for
egui_kittest image snapshots (and a general image diff tool)
- better kerning
### Improved kerning
As a step towards using [parley](https://github.com/linebender/parley)
for font rendering, @valadaptive has refactored the font loading and
rendering code. A result of this (next to the font rendering code being
much nicer now) is improved kerning.
Notice how the c moved away from the k:
### `egui::Plugin` trait
We've added a new trait-based plugin api, meant to replace
`Context::on_begin_pass` and `Context::on_end_pass`.
This makes it a lot easier to handle state in your plugins. Instead of
having to write to egui memory it can live right on your plugin struct.
The trait based api also makes easier to add new hooks that plugins can
use. In addition to `on_begin_pass` and `on_end_pass`, the `Plugin`
trait now has a `input_hook` and `output_hook` which you can use to
inspect / modify the `RawInput` / `FullOutput`.
### kitdiff, a image diff viewer
At rerun we have a ton of snapshots. Some PRs will change most of them
(e.g. [the](https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/pull/11253/files)
[one](https://rerun-io.github.io/kitdiff/?url=https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/pull/11253/files)
that updated egui and introduced the kerning improvements, ~500
snapshots changed!).
If you really want to look at every changed snapshot it better be as
efficient as possible, and the experience on github, fiddeling with the
sliders, is kind of frustrating.
In order to fix this, we've made
[kitdiff](https://rerun-io.github.io/kitdiff/).
You can use it locally via
- `kitdiff files .` will search for .new.png and .diff.png files
- `kitdiff git` will compare the current files to the default branch
(main/master)
Or in the browser via
- going to https://rerun-io.github.io/kitdiff/ and pasting a PR or
github artifact url
- linking to kitdiff via e.g. a github workflow
`https://rerun-io.github.io/kitdiff/?url=<link_to_pr_or_artefact>`
To install kitdiff run `cargo install --git
https://github.com/rerun-io/kitdiff`
Here is a video showing the kerning changes in kitdiff ([try it
yourself](https://rerun-io.github.io/kitdiff/?url=https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/pull/11253/files)):

### Migration guide
- `egui::Mutex` now has a timeout as a simple deadlock detection
- If you use a `egui::Mutex` in some place where it's held for longer
than a single frame, you should switch to the std mutex or parking_lot
instead (egui mutexes are wrappers around parking lot)
- `screen_rect` is deprecated
- In order to support safe areas, egui now has `viewport_rect` and
`content_rect`.
- Update all usages of `screen_rect` to `content_rect`, unless you are
sure that you want to draw outside the `safe area` (which would mean
your Ui may be covered by notches, system ui, etc.)

It could be useful when you want to preprocess an image using SIMD
instructions without extra copying to convert it to a texture.
Possibly we might add it as a feature.

deserialization when the `serde` feature is enabled.

The bug was in `Color32::from_rgba_unmultiplied` and by extension
affects:
* `Color32::from_rgba_unmultiplied`
* `hex_color!`
* `HexColor`
* `ColorImage::from_rgba_unmultiplied`
* All images with transparency (png, webp, …)
* `Color32::from_white_alpha`
The bug caused translucent colors to appear too bright.
## More
Color is hard.
When I started out egui I thought "linear space is objectively better,
for everything!" and then I've been slowly walking that back for various
reasons:
* sRGB textures not available everywhere
* gamma-space is more _perceptually_ even, so it makes sense to use for
anti-aliasing
* other applications do everything in gamma space, so that's what people
expect (this PR)
Similarly, pre-multiplied alpha _makes sense_ for blending colors. It
also enables additive colors, which is nice. But it does complicate
things. Especially when mixed with sRGB/gamma (As @karhu [points
out](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/5824#issuecomment-2738099254)).

## Defining what `Rounding` is
This PR defines what `Rounding` means: it is the corner radius of
underlying `RectShape` rectangle. If you use `StrokeKind::Inside`, this
means the rounding is of the outer part of the stroke. Conversely, if
you use `StrokeKind::Outside`, the stroke is outside the rounded
rectangle, so the stroke has an inner radius or `rounding`, and an outer
radius that is larger by `stroke.width`.
This definitions is the same as Figma uses.
## Improving general shape rendering
The rendering of filled shapes (rectangles, circles, paths, bezier) has
been rewritten. Instead of first painting the fill with the stroke on
top, we now paint them as one single mesh with shared vertices at the
border. This has several benefits:
* Less work (faster and with fewer vertices produced)
* No overdraw (nicer rendering of translucent shapes)
* Correct blending of stroke and fill
The logic for rendering thin strokes has also been improved, so that the
width of a stroke of `StrokeKind::Outside` never affects the filled area
(this used to be wrong for thin strokes).
## Improving of rectangle rendering
Rectangles also has specific improvements in how thin rectangles are
painted.
The handling of "Blur width" is also a lot better, and now works for
rectangles with strokes.
There also used to be bugs with specific combinations of corner radius
and stroke width, that are now fixed.
## But why?
With the new `egui::Scene` we end up with a lot of zoomed out shapes,
with sub-pixel strokes. These need to look good! One thing led to
another, and then I became obsessive 😅
## Tessellation Test
In order to investigate the rendering, I created a Tessellation Test in
the `egui_demo_lib`.
[Try it
here](https://egui-pr-preview.github.io/pr/5669-emilkimprove-tessellator)
As someone who uses "grey" instead of "gray", it is annoying that my
autocomplete can never find any of the "gray" color related things, so
this adds doc aliases for that.

I am preparing a separate PR that adds support for JXL with `jxl-oxide`,
which is unlikely to be added to the `image` crate anytime soon (more
context will be provided in that PR).
`jxl-oxide` makes use of the
[`array::each_mut`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.array.html#method.each_mut)
API which was stabilized in 1.77, which is the motivation for this MSRV
bump.
Rust 1.77 was officially released to stable on 21 March, 2024.
It cannot be made const with the current version of Rust, and that is
counterintuitive since it does compile-time checks, so we make that
clear in the documentation. It might be possible to make it const once
MSRV is bumped to 1.82.

You can see this feature in action
[here](https://docs.rs/sysinfo/latest/src/sysinfo/common/system.rs.html#46)
or on any of dtolnay's crates and many others. I found myself going
through your project code recently on docs.rs and I was a bit sad I
couldn't have this feature enabled. This should fix it at next release.
:)

I removed (I hope so) all wildcard imports I found.
For me on my pc this improved the build time:
- for egui -5s
- for eframe -12s

I took the liberty of removing that comment since I *think* that I got
all "relevant" ones (showing up more than once, sort of).
Removes `egui_assert` etc and replaces it with normal `debug_assert`
calls.
Previously you could opt-in to more runtime checks using feature flags.
Now these extra runtime checks are always enabled for debug builds.
You are most likely to encounter them if you use negative sizes or NaNs
or other similar bugs.
These usually indicate bugs in user space.
