# 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.)

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!

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.

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:

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.
* eframe::run_native: return errors instead of crashing
* Detect and handle glutin errors
* egui_demo_app: silence wgpu log spam
* Add trace logs for why eframe is shutting down
* Fix: only save App state once on Mac
* Handle Winit failure
* Log where we load app state from
* Don't panic on zero-sized window
* Clamp loaded window size to not be too tiny to see
* Simplify code: more shared code in window_builder
* Improve code readability
* Fix wasm32 build
* fix android
* Update changelog
* Use total_cmp for clamping DragValue
* Added test for clamping
* Increase MSRV in all crates
* Increased rust version for github actions and lib.rs
* Inversed ranges are now working properply with clamp_to_range
* Added more tests
Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/2068
Before this PR, the default font, Ubuntu-Light, was ~11% smaller
than it should have been, and the default monospace font, Hack,
was ~14% smaller. This means that setting the font size `12` in egui
would yield smaller text than using that font size in any other app.
Ooops!
The change is that this PR now takes into account the ttf properties
`units_per_em` and `height_unscaled`.
If your egui application has specified you own font sizes or text styles
you will see the text in your application grow
larger, unless you go in and compensate by dividing all font sizes by
~1.21 for Ubuntu-Light/Proportional and ~1.16 for Hack/Monospace,
and with something else if you are using a custom font!
This effects any use of `FontId`, `RichText::size`, etc.
This PR changes the default `Style::text_styles` to compensate,
so the default egui style should look the same before and after this PR.
