## What
This deprecates `eframe::App::update` and replaces it with two new
functions:
```rs
pub trait App {
/// Called just before `ui`, and in the future this will
/// also be called for background apps when needed.
fn logic(&mut self, ctx: &egui::Context, frame: &mut Frame) { }
/// Show your user interface to the user.
fn ui(&mut self, ui: &mut egui::Ui, frame: &mut Frame);
…
}
```
Similarly, `Context::run` is deprecated in favor of `Context::run_ui`.
`Plugin`s are now handed a `Ui` instead of just a `Context` in
`on_begin/end_frame`.
## TODO
…either in this PR or a later one
* [x] Deprecate `App::update`
* [x] Deprecate `Context::run`
* [x] Change plugins to get a `Ui`
* [x] Update kittest
* [x] Change viewports to get UI:s (`show_viewport_immediate` etc)
- https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/7779
## Later PRs
* [ ] Deprecate `Panel::show`
* [ ] Deprecate `CentralPanel::show`
* [ ] Deprecate `CentralPanel` ?

# 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.)

* 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`.

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.
The closure passed to `eframe::run_native` now returns a `Result`,
allowing you to return an error during app creation, which will be
returned to the caller of `run_native`.
This means you need to wrap your `Box::new(MyApp::new(…))` in an
`Ok(…)`.
* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4474
Motivation: I want to replace `cargo-cranky` with workspace lints, first
available in Rust 1.74.
However, `cargo doc` would hange on `wgpu` and `wgpu-core` on 1.74 and
1.75… so now we're on 1.76.
I think this is fine - when 1.78 is released next week we're still two
versions behind the bleeding edge.
…and the branch name is just wrong 🤦
* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3941
Workspace dependencies can be annoying.
If you don't set them to `default-features=false`, then you cannot opt
out of their default features anywhere else, and get warnings if you
try.
So you set `default-features=false`, and then you need to manually opt
in to the default features everywhere else.
Or, as in my case, don't.
I don't have the energy to do this tonight, so I'll just revert.

This PR replaces a bunch of options in `eframe::NativeOptions` with
`egui::ViewportBuilder`. For instance:
``` diff
let options = eframe::NativeOptions {
- initial_window_size: Some(egui::vec2(320.0, 240.0)),
- drag_and_drop_support: true,
+ viewport: egui::ViewportBuilder::default()
+ .with_inner_size([320.0, 240.0])
+ .with_drag_and_drop(true),
centered: true,
..Default::default()
};
```

## In short
You now almost never need to use `eframe::Frame` - instead use
`ui.input(|i| i.viewport())` for information about the current viewport
(native window), and use `ctx.send_viewport_cmd` to modify it.
## In detail
This PR removes most commands from `eframe::Frame`, and replaces them
with `ViewportCommand`.
So `frame.close()` becomes
`ctx.send_viewport_cmd(ViewportCommand::Close)`, etc.
`frame.info().window_info` is now also gone, replaced with `ui.input(|i|
i.viewport())`.
`frame.info().native_pixels_per_point` is replaced with `ui.input(|i|
i.raw.native_pixels_per_point)`.
`RawInput` now contains one `ViewportInfo` for each viewport.
Screenshots are taken with
`ctx.send_viewport_cmd(ViewportCommand::Screenshots)` and are returned
in `egui::Event` which you can check with:
``` ust
ui.input(|i| {
for event in &i.raw.events {
if let egui::Event::Screenshot { viewport_id, image } = event {
// handle it here
}
}
});
```
### Motivation
You no longer need to pass around the `&eframe::Frame` everywhere.
This also opens the door for other integrations to use the same API of
`ViewportCommand`s.
* add method for requesting attention to the main window
* use another enum member for user attention type instead of nested `Option`s
(also, document the enum members now that they don't mirror `winit`)
* update the docstring

* add an example app for testing window attention requests
* Apply suggestions from code review

* remove `chrono` dependency and improve the attention example's readability
