# 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.)
Adds an accessibility inspector plugin that shows the current AccessKit
tree:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/78f4f221-1bd2-4ce4-adf5-fc3b00f5c16c
Macos has a built in accessibility inspector, but it doesn't seem to
work with AccessKit / eframe so this provides some insight into the
accesskit state.
This also showed a couple issues that are easy to fix:
- [ ] Links show up as `Label` instead of links
- [ ] Not all supported actions are advertised (e.g. scrolling)
- [ ] The resize handles in windows shouldn't be focusable
- [ ] Checkbox has no value
- [ ] Menus should have the button as parent widget (not 100% sure on
this one)
Currently the plugin lives in the demo app, but I think it should be
moved somewhere else. Maybe egui_extras?
This could also be relevant for #4650
Adds a helper to quickly see whats going on in a kittest test.
Not all test have snapshots, but when debugging tests it might still be
useful to see whats actually going on, so this adds a helper fn that
renders a snapshot image to a temporary file and opens it with the
default image viewer:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/08785850-0a12-4572-b9b5-cea36951081c
This PR is a continuation of #4915 by @frederik-uni and @lucasmerlin
that introduces support for keeping egui content within the 'safe area'
on iOS (avoiding the notch / dynamic island / menu bar etc.), with the
following changes:
- `SafeArea` now wraps `MarginF32` and has been renamed to
`SafeAreaInsets` to clarify its purpose.
- `InputState::screen_rect` is now marked as deprecated in favour of
either `viewport_rect` (which contains the entire screen), or
`content_rect` (which is the viewport rect with the safe area insets
removed).
- I added some comments to the safe area insets logic pointing out the
[safe area API coming in winit
v0.31](https://github.com/rust-windowing/winit/issues/3910).

* related #7494
Removes the `deadlock_detection` feature, since we now have a more
primitive panic-after-30s deadlock detection which works well enough and
even detects kinds of deadlocks that the `deadlock_detection` feature
never supported.

Update some of the core dependencies and run cargo update for selected
dependencies to remove total number and older versions.
This adds a custom Node struct with proper support for egui types
(`Key`, `Modifiers`, `egui::Event`, `Rect`) instead of needing to use
the kittest / accesskit types.
I also changed the `click` function to do a proper mouse move / mouse
down instead of the accesskit click. Also added `accesskit_click` to
trigger the accesskit event. This resulted in some changed snapshots,
since the elements are now hovered.
Also renamed `press_key` to `key_press` for consistency with
`key_down/key_up`.
Also removed the Deref to the AccessKit Node, to make it clearer when to
expect egui and when to expect accesskit types.

Today each widget does its own custom layout, which has some drawbacks:
- not very flexible
- you can add an `Image` to `Button` but it will always be shown on the
left side
- you can't add a `Image` to a e.g. a `SelectableLabel`
- a lot of duplicated code
This PR introduces `Atoms` and `AtomLayout` which abstracts over "widget
content" and layout within widgets, so it'd be possible to add images /
text / custom rendering (for e.g. the checkbox) to any widget.
A simple custom button implementation is now as easy as this:
```rs
pub struct ALButton<'a> {
al: AtomicLayout<'a>,
}
impl<'a> ALButton<'a> {
pub fn new(content: impl IntoAtomics) -> Self {
Self { al: content.into_atomics() }
}
}
impl<'a> Widget for ALButton<'a> {
fn ui(mut self, ui: &mut Ui) -> Response {
let response = ui.ctx().read_response(ui.next_auto_id());
let visuals = response.map_or(&ui.style().visuals.widgets.inactive, |response| {
ui.style().interact(&response)
});
self.al.frame = self
.al
.frame
.inner_margin(ui.style().spacing.button_padding)
.fill(visuals.bg_fill)
.stroke(visuals.bg_stroke)
.corner_radius(visuals.corner_radius);
self.al.show(ui)
}
}
```
The initial implementation only does very basic layout, just enough to
be able to implement most current egui widgets, so:
- only horizontal layout
- everything is centered
- a single item may grow/shrink based on the available space
- everything can be contained in a Frame
There is a trait `IntoAtoms` that conveniently allows you to construct
`Atoms` from a tuple
```
ui.button((Image::new("image.png"), "Click me!"))
```
to get a button with image and text.
This PR reimplements three egui widgets based on the new AtomLayout:
- Button
- matches the old button pixel-by-pixel
- Button with image is now [properly
aligned](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/5830/files#diff-962ce2c68ab50724b01c6b64c683c4067edd9b79fcdcb39a6071021e33ebe772)
in justified layouts
- selected button style now matches SelecatbleLabel look
- For some reason the DragValue text seems shifted by a pixel almost
everywhere, but I think it's more centered now, yay?
- Checkbox
- basically pixel-perfect but apparently the check mesh is very slightly
different so I had to update the snapshot
- somehow needs a bit more space in some snapshot tests?
- RadioButton
- pixel-perfect
- somehow needs a bit more space in some snapshot tests?
I plan on updating TextEdit based on AtomLayout in a separate PR (so
you could use it to add a icon within the textedit frame).
Parley's bumped accesskit to 0.19, so we have to as well. It's a bit
concerning that we may end up locked to the version of accesskit that
Parley uses, but oh well.
[This kittest PR will have to be merged
first.](https://github.com/rerun-io/kittest/pull/11)

Adds `create_native`. Similiar to `run_native` but it returns an
`EframeWinitApplication` which is a `winit::ApplicationHandler`. This
can be run on your own event loop. A helper fn `pump_eframe_app` is
provided to pump the event loop and get the control flow state back.
I have been using this approach for a few months.

Previously, navigating text in `TextEdit` with Ctrl + left/right arrow
would jump inside words that contained combining characters (i.e.
diacritics). This PR introduces new dependency of `unicode-segmentation`
to handle grapheme encoding. The new implementation ignores whitespace
and other separators such as `-` (dash) between words, but respects `_`
(underscore).

## What
(written by @emilk)
When editing long text (thousands of line), egui would previously
re-layout the entire text on each edit. This could be slow.
With this PR, we instead split the text into paragraphs (split on `\n`)
and then cache each such paragraph. When editing text then, only the
changed paragraph needs to be laid out again.
Still, there is overhead from splitting the text, hashing each
paragraph, and then joining the results, so the runtime complexity is
still O(N).
In our benchmark, editing a 2000 line string goes from ~8ms to ~300 ms,
a speedup of ~25x.
In the future, we could also consider laying out each paragraph in
parallel, to speed up the initial layout of the text.
## Details
This is an ~~almost complete~~ implementation of the approach described
by emilk [in this
comment](<https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3086#issuecomment-1724205777>),
excluding CoW semantics for `LayoutJob` (but including them for `Row`).
It supersedes the previous unsuccessful attempt here:
https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/4000.
Draft because:
- [X] ~~Currently individual rows will have `ends_with_newline` always
set to false.
This breaks selection with Ctrl+A (and probably many other things)~~
- [X] ~~The whole block for doing the splitting and merging should
probably become a function (I'll do that later).~~
- [X] ~~I haven't run the check script, the tests, and haven't made sure
all of the examples build (although I assume they probably don't rely on
Galley internals).~~
- [x] ~~Layout is sometimes incorrect (missing empty lines, wrapping
sometimes makes text overlap).~~
- A lot of text-related code had to be changed so this needs to be
properly tested to ensure no layout issues were introduced, especially
relating to the now row-relative coordinate system of `Row`s. Also this
requires that we're fine making these very breaking changes.
It does significantly improve the performance of rendering large blocks
of text (if they have many newlines), this is the test program I used to
test it (adapted from <https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3086>):
<details>
<summary>code</summary>
```rust
use eframe::egui::{self, CentralPanel, TextEdit};
use std::fmt::Write;
fn main() -> Result<(), eframe::Error> {
let options = eframe::NativeOptions {
..Default::default()
};
eframe::run_native(
"editor big file test",
options,
Box::new(|_cc| Ok(Box::<MyApp>::new(MyApp::new()))),
)
}
struct MyApp {
text: String,
}
impl MyApp {
fn new() -> Self {
let mut string = String::new();
for line_bytes in (0..50000).map(|_| (0u8..50)) {
for byte in line_bytes {
write!(string, " {byte:02x}").unwrap();
}
write!(string, "\n").unwrap();
}
println!("total bytes: {}", string.len());
MyApp { text: string }
}
}
impl eframe::App for MyApp {
fn update(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, _frame: &mut eframe::Frame) {
CentralPanel::default().show(ctx, |ui| {
let start = std::time::Instant::now();
egui::ScrollArea::vertical().show(ui, |ui| {
let code_editor = TextEdit::multiline(&mut self.text)
.code_editor()
.desired_width(f32::INFINITY)
.desired_rows(40);
let response = code_editor.show(ui).response;
if response.changed() {
println!("total bytes now: {}", self.text.len());
}
});
let end = std::time::Instant::now();
let time_to_update = end - start;
if time_to_update.as_secs_f32() > 0.5 {
println!("Long update took {:.3}s", time_to_update.as_secs_f32())
}
});
}
}
```
</details>
I think the way to proceed would be to make a new type, something like
`PositionedRow`, that would wrap an `Arc<Row>` but have a separate `pos`
~~and `ends_with_newline`~~ (that would mean `Row` only holds a `size`
instead of a `rect`). This type would of course have getters that would
allow you to easily get a `Rect` from it and probably a `Deref` to the
underlying `Row`.
~~I haven't done this yet because I wanted to get some opinions whether
this would be an acceptable API first.~~ This is now implemented, but of
course I'm still open to discussion about this approach and whether it's
what we want to do.
Breaking changes (currently):
- The `Galley::rows` field has a different type.
- There is now a `PlacedRow` wrapper for `Row`.
- `Row` now uses a coordinate system relative to itself instead of the
`Galley`.

Continuation of #5713
**Silently breaking changes:**
- Menus now close on click by default, this is configurable via
`PopupCloseBehavior`
**Additional additions:**
- `Button::right_text`
- `StyleModifier`
This is a rewrite of the egui menus, with the following goals:
- submenu buttons should work everywhere, in a popup, context menu,
area, in some random Ui
- remove the menu state from Ui
- should work just like the previous menu
- ~proper support for keyboard navigation~
- It's better now but requires further work to be perfect
- support `PopupCloseBehavior`

Closes <https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3862>.
Factoring the `bool` members of `Response` into a bitfield, the size of
`Response` is now 96 bytes (down from 104).
I gave `Sense` the same treatment, however this has no effects on
`Response` due to padding. I've decided not to pursue `PointerState`, as
it is quite large (_many_ members that are sized and aligned to
multiples of 8 bytes), so I don't expect any noticeable benefit from
making handful of `bool`s slightly leaner.
In any case, the changes to `Sense` are already quite a bit more
intrusive than those to `Response`.
The previous implementation overloaded the names of the attributes
`click` and `drag` with similarly named methods that _construct_ `Sense`
with the corresponding flag set. Now, that the attributes can no longer
be accessed directly, I had to introduce methods with new names
(`senses_click()`, `senses_drag()` and `is_focusable()`). I don't think
this is the cleanest solution: the old methods are essentially redundant
now that the named constants like `Sense::CLICK` exist. I did however
not want to needlessly break backwards compatibility.
I am happy to revert it (or go further 🙂) if there are concerns.
