Bevy 0.16
hey simbleau,
i started to migrate bevy_vello to bevy 0.16.0, but there is a dependency problem with vello 0.4.x and wgpu 23.
Maybe you're interested to take a look into the changes, to save some time.

Yes, vello needs a release cut for wgpu 23.
This is a known issue and being discussed on Zulip:
https://xi.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/197075-vello/topic/wgpu.2025.20plans/with/515132773
As it stands, we are blocked for a bevy 0.16 release until vello 0.5 is released, and we are not their first priority. It may well be a month or less until this happens, so please don't wait up!
Vello has been released now. I have a semi working port here: https://github.com/StarArawn/bevy_vello/tree/bevy-16
It needs a lot of cleanup and I would only really use it as a reference for some stuff.
Hi @simbleau is there any official work on the Bevy 0.16 porting? @StarArawn are you planning on it? If not, I can work on the upgrade!
I have not yet,but planned on it next week.
Thanks @nixon-voxell - go ahead!

Entirely up to you, I can probably handle the upgrade if nobody else is available to do it. I'm a little unsure how to handle visibility, but I'm sure it's not that hard to figure out.
My primary goal is to get my bevy UI library released and it uses bevy vello. 👍
Any updates on this?
No one has filed a PR.
I started on a full upgrade but I hit issues with vello_svg and velato. They need to be updated to the new vello version.
I messaged the vello devs here: #vello > New release for velato/vello_svg? @ 💬
vello_svg update is merged and released (https://github.com/linebender/velato/pull/63) velato update is being reviewed and considered (https://github.com/linebender/vello_svg/pull/63)
Started work here, it works: https://github.com/linebender/bevy_vello/pull/152
Will be drafted pending velato release.
If you have any idea about how to rewrite the visibility code to work with bevy 0.16 feel free to hit me up on zulip.
I have a feeling we might have to think about writing code to integrate bevy_vello into the bevy render graph (DAG).

Looking at bevy sprite code there is a new extracted component called: ViewVisibility which you can see here:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/3d3746e5d021f561ab9aa7a18c19063a8dd10b99/crates/bevy_sprite/src/render/mod.rs#L394
We should be able to use this same component to handle visibility.
ViewVisibility docs:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/3d3746e5d021f561ab9aa7a18c19063a8dd10b99/crates/bevy_render/src/view/visibility/mod.rs#L170
No joy using ViewVisibility, I pushed commit so you can look at it and maybe tinker yourself @StarArawn
Good progress has been made in the PR. Seems to be working fine. Unsure whether or not the Aabb example should be part of the update.
It was mostly done to verify view visibility works.
Just a quick sup, there is a Bevy jam 6 going on, will start today and end at the 8th of June. I was looking to potentially use bevy_vello there, but since I'm going to use Bevy 0.16, can't. Ofc I don't wanna push you or anything, just giving some context. I hope you are doing good work here, keep it up 😃.

Fun, me as well! 😄
You can most likely use the PR branch for now to verify you can use it for Jam.
@adsick - Expect the bevy 0.16 update to come out today or tomorrow.
For now... the usual magic:
bevy_vello = { git = "https://github.com/RobertBrewitz/bevy_vello.git", branch = "bevy-0.16" }
