# 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.)
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).

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.

This introduces new `Tooltip` and `Popup` structs that unify and extend
the old popups and tooltips.
`Popup` handles the positioning and optionally stores state on whether
the popup is open (for click based popups like `ComboBox`, menus,
context menus).
`Tooltip` is based on `Popup` and handles state of whether the tooltip
should be shown (which turns out to be quite complex to handles all the
edge cases).
Both `Popup` and `Tooltip` can easily be constructed from a `Response`
and then customized via builder methods.
This also introduces `PositionAlign`, for aligning something outside of
a `Rect` (in contrast to `Align2` for aligning inside a `Rect`). But I
don't like the name, any suggestions? Inspired by [mui's tooltip
positioning](https://mui.com/material-ui/react-tooltip/#positioned-tooltips).

`Frame` now includes the width of the stroke as part of its size. From
the new docs:
### `Frame` docs
The total (outer) size of a frame is `content_size + inner_margin +
2*stroke.width + outer_margin`.
Everything within the stroke is filled with the fill color (if any).
```text
+-----------------^-------------------------------------- -+
| | outer_margin |
| +------------v----^------------------------------+ |
| | | stroke width | |
| | +------------v---^---------------------+ | |
| | | | inner_margin | | |
| | | +-----------v----------------+ | | |
| | | | ^ | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | |<------ content_size ------>| | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | v | | | |
| | | +------- content_rect -------+ | | |
| | | | | |
| | +-------------fill_rect ---------------+ | |
| | | |
| +----------------- widget_rect ------------------+ |
| |
+---------------------- outer_rect ------------------------+
```
The four rectangles, from inside to outside, are:
* `content_rect`: the rectangle that is made available to the inner
[`Ui`] or widget.
* `fill_rect`: the rectangle that is filled with the fill color (inside
the stroke, if any).
* `widget_rect`: is the interactive part of the widget (what sense
clicks etc).
* `outer_rect`: what is allocated in the outer [`Ui`], and is what is
returned by [`Response::rect`].
### Notes
This required rewriting a lot of the layout code for `egui::Window`,
which was a massive pain. But now the window margin and stroke width is
properly accounted for everywhere.
Adds `Marginf` to fill the previous niche.
This is all in a pursuit to shrink the sizes of often-used structs, to
improve performance (less cache misses, less memcpy:s, etc).
* On the path towards https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/4019
Adds support for animated WebP images. Used the already existing GIF
implementation as a template for most of it.

* Merge this first: https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/5517
This aligns all rectangles and (horizontal or vertical) line segments to
the physical pixel grid in the `epaint::Tessellator`, making these
shapes appear crisp everywhere.
* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/5164
* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3667
This undoes a lot of the explicit, egui-side aligning added in:
* https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/4943
The new approach has several benefits over the old one:
* It is done automatically by epaint, so it is applied to everything (no
longer opt-in)
* It is applied after any layer transforms (so it always works)
* It makes line segments crisper on high-DPI screens
* All filled rectangles now has sides that end on pixel boundaries
Hey! I am not sure if this is something that's been considered before
and decided against (I couldn't find any PR's or issues).
This change removes the internal profiling macros in library crates and
the `puffin` feature and replaces it with similar functions in the
[profiling](https://github.com/aclysma/profiling) crate. This crate
provides a layer of abstraction over various profiler instrumentation
crates and allows library users to pick their favorite (supported)
profiler.
An additional benefit for puffin users is that dependencies of egui are
included in the instrumentation output too (mainly wgpu which uses the
profiling crate), so more details might be available when profiling.
A breaking change is that instead of using the `puffin` feature on egui,
users that want to profile the crate with puffin instead have to enable
the `profile-with-puffin` feature on the profiling crate. Similarly they
could instead choose to use `profile-with-tracy` etc.
I tried to add a 'tracy' feature to egui_demo_app in order to showcase ,
however the /scripts/check.sh currently breaks on mutually exclusive
features (which this introduces), so I decided against including it for
the initial PR. I'm happy to iterate more on this if there is interest
in taking this PR though.
Screenshot showing the additional info for wgpu now available when using
puffin

Android support is "almost there". This PR pushes it just a bit further
by allowing `eframe` to be used on Android. It works by smuggling the
`AndroidApp` required by `winit` through `NativeOptions`.
The example isn't great because it doesn't leave space on the display
for Android's top status bar or the lower navigation bar. I don't know
what to do about that, yet. This is as far as I've managed to get it
working.
Another problem is that the development environment setup is completely
awful for Android unless you happen to already be a full-time Android
developer with everything configured on your build host. As a Rustacean,
this makes me very sad.
I've had some luck moving all of that mess to a container, adapted from
https://github.com/SergioRibera/docker-rust-android. It takes care of
all of the build dependencies, Android SDK, and the `cargo-apk` patches
for bugs that I hit while getting the example to work on my device. (I
also had to install an adb driver on my host and downloaded the Android
platform-tools to get access to `adb`. An alternative is exposing the
USB device to Docker. On Windows hosts, that means [installing
`usbipd`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/connect-usb). A
second alternative is using an `mtp` client to upload the APK as a file
with USB file transfer enabled, then manually install it through the
device's file manager.)
I'm not including the docker stuff in this PR, but here are the files
and instructions for future reference (and it will probably simplify
manual testing and CI, FWIW!)

This lets users trigger a screenshot from anywhere, and then when they
get back the results they have some context about what part of their
code triggered the screenshot.
egui never accesses the `FontDefinitions`' member fields mutably, except
in `fonts_tweak_ui` where it cloned the `FontDefinitions` object anyway.
This patch reduces system memory consumption for shared font
definitions.
And also removes some overhead from copying (e.g. for the per
`pixel_per_points` font atlas)
Also it allows to keep a copy of the font definitions outside of egui.
In my App that uses international fonts:
Before:
New:
Note: If `Arc` is not wanted, then it could ofc be abstracted away.
I know this is quite a breaking change API wise, but would like to hear
your opinion.

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.
Exposed the underlying PopupCloseBehavior of ComboBox in order to allow
more control of ComboBox behavior.
This allows ComboBox to be used rather than manually managing a popup
directly, while also gaining the convenience features of ComboBox such
as popup auto-sizing.

Unfortunately, this PR contains a bunch of breaking changes because
`Context` no longer has one style, but two. I could try to add some of
the methods back if that's desired.
The most subtle change is probably that `style_mut` mutates both the
dark and the light style (which from the usage in egui itself felt like
the right choice but might be surprising to users).
I decided to deviate a bit from the data structure suggested in the
linked issue.
Instead of this:
```rust
pub theme: Theme, // Dark or Light
pub follow_system_theme: bool, // Change [`Self::theme`] based on `RawInput::system_theme`?
```
I decided to add a `ThemePreference` enum and track the current system
theme separately.
This has a couple of benefits:
* The user's theme choice is not magically overwritten on the next
frame.
* A widget for changing the theme preference only needs to know the
`ThemePreference` and not two values.
* Persisting the `theme_preference` is fine (as opposed to persisting
the `theme` field which may actually be the system theme).
The `small_toggle_button` currently only toggles between dark and light
(so you can never get back to following the system). I think it's easy
to improve on this in a follow-up PR :)
I made the function `pub(crate)` for now because it should eventually be
a method on `ThemePreference`, not `Theme`.
To showcase the new capabilities I added a new example that uses
different "accent" colors in dark and light mode:
