# 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`

### 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.)
* egui-winit: fix unsafe API of Clipboard::new
The old API allowed passing an arbitrary pointer. The new
API still breaks safety by allowing the object to outlive
the input, but is at least safer.

* Attempt to fix monitor clamping on Windows so window positions can be restored between sessions.
* Missed a change.
* Renamed variables, reorganized some lines of code, and added some more comments.
* Cargo fmt run
* Updated CHANGELOG.md to briefly describe my change
* Updated CHANGELOG.md to briefly describe my change
* Applied suggested fixes from emilk
Discovered an issue where putting the monitor off a non-primary monitor to the left causes the position to be off the monitor x and y range, clamping to the primary instead of the non-primary.
* Fix for matching negative restored window positions. Should clamp if any part of the window had been visible on a remaining monitor.
* Apparently compiler attributes on statements have been marked unstable.
Rather than just wrap in blocks, I kind of prefer the more explicit if cfg! call for line 114.
CHANGELOG.md - correct a missing paren I noticed
* I was being silly, I don't need to clone inner_size_points on line 112
* Cargo fmt run
* Update crates/egui-winit/CHANGELOG.md

* Update to winit 0.28
Mac trackpads pinch gestures will now generate `egui::Event::Zoom`
* Update accesskit_winit
* Try to get Android CI green
* Fix wayland compilation
* Add comment about android-activity
* Update changelogs
* Fix call to register_xlib_error_hook
* Remove native screen reader support
Use the "accesskit" feature flag to `eframe` instead.
[AccessKit](https://github.com/AccessKit/accesskit) is the future.
`tts` was a mess to compile on many platforms, so I no longer want
the native `tts` dependency.
* Update tts to 0.25
* Update changelogs
* Turn on all feature flags for package.metadata.docs.rs
* remove tts from deny.toml skip-tree
* Update web build scripts
* Update deny.toml
* Fix docs.rs build issues for eframe, egui-winit, egui_glium, egui_glow
I hope we can get rid of the `tts` crate very soon,
now that AcessKit has landed. It is only used for web atm.
Should probably be removed from all native libraries.
* Update changelogs
* squash before rebase
* Update AccessKit, introducing support for editable spinners on Windows and an important fix for navigation order on macOS
* Restore support for increment and decrement actions in DragValue
* Avoid VoiceOver race condition bug
* fix clippy lint
* Tell AccessKit that the default action for a text edit (equivalent to a click) is to set the focus. This matters to some platform adapters.
* Refactor InputState functions for AccessKit actions
* Support the AccessKit SetValue for DragValue; this is the only way for a Windows AT to programmatically adjust the value
* Same for Slider
* Properly associate the slider label with both the slider and the drag value
* Lazily activate egui's AccessKit support
* fix clippy lint
* Update AccessKit
* More documentation, particularly around lazy activation
* Tweak one of the doc comments
* See if I can get AccessKit exempted from the 'missing backticks' lint
* Make PlatformOutput::accesskit_update an Option
* Refactor lazy activation
* Refactor node mutation (again)
* Eliminate the need for an explicit is_accesskit_active method, at least for now
* Fix doc comment
* More refactoring of tree construction; don't depend on Arc::get_mut
* Override a clippy lint; I seem to have no other choice
* Final planned refactor: a more flexible approach to hierarchy
* Last AccessKit update for this PR; includes an important macOS DPI fix
* Move and document the optional accesskit dependency
* Fix comment typo
