## Short bluesky announcement:
We just released egui 0.33.0!
Highlights:
- `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 (check the diff on
[kitdiff](https://rerun-io.github.io/kitdiff/?url=https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/7431))

## Relaese Changelog:
egui is an easy-to-use immediate mode GUI for Rust that runs on both web
and native.

# 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

### 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.)

Please read the "Making a PR" section of
[`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/emilk/egui/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
before opening a Pull Request!
* Keep your PR:s small and focused.
* The PR title is what ends up in the changelog, so make it descriptive!
* If applicable, add a screenshot or gif.
* If it is a non-trivial addition, consider adding a demo for it to
`egui_demo_lib`, or a new example.
* Do NOT open PR:s from your `master` branch, as that makes it hard for
maintainers to test and add commits to your PR.
* Remember to run `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`.
* Open the PR as a draft until you have self-reviewed it and run
`./scripts/check.sh`.
* When you have addressed a PR comment, mark it as resolved.
Please be patient! I will review your PR, but my time is limited!

* Remove references to `glium` backend, because it is deprecated since
egui v0.18.0
* [x] I have followed the instructions in the PR template
* Expose raw window and display handles in eframe
* Ensure that no one implements `Clone` in the future
* Cleanup

* Add an optional app_id field to eframe's NativeOptions (#1600).
This is used in the window builder to set the application ID, which is e.g. important for a proper configuration in `.desktop` files under Wayland.
When no application ID is explicitly set, it defaults to the title of the window.
* Only enable NativeOptions::app_id under Linux.
The wayland feature is not sufficent as constraint and it won't compile e.g. under Windows.
While Wayland could also be used on other Unix-Systems like FreeBSD, this would probably need some specific testing. Winit uses the following definition as "wayland_platform" and on which the required packages are available:
> wayland_platform: { all(feature = "wayland", free_unix, not(wasm), not(redox)) },
* Do not use title as default application ID under Wayland.
The title might be used to also communicate state (opened file, ...) to the user and this might have unforeseen consequences for the application ID. It seems to be better to use the old behavior of not setting an application ID in this case. Also add an example on how to set the application ID in the documentation.
* Avoid as_deref(), which was a left-over of a previous version

`EventResult::Exit` is hit before `Event::LoopDestroyed` is, and due to
possibly some order of operations or drops the window is never destroyed
on Linux. Adding a call to `winit_app.save_and_destroy();` where
`EventResult::Exit` is checked solves this.
Closes#2892

* Check that we can compile eframe with --no-default-features
* Allow compiling eframe with `--no-default-features`
This is useful for libraries that depend on `eframe::Frame`
but don't care what renderer eframe is using.
