"Dropping Swift from our Bevy iOS crates" new blog post published on our migration from crate+swift-package to pure rust: https://rustunit.com/blog/2026/09-04-bevy-ios-crates-objc2/ #rustlang #gamedev #Bevy 🦀🎮

All our @bevy@mastodon.social crates are now up to date for #Bevy 0.19 and even more exciting all our iOS crates now drop the companion swift package and work on pure rust via objc2: https://github.com/rustunit/bevy_ios_notifications #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Last week Bevy 0.19 got released with really nice performance improvements and the first version of the vividly anticipated BSN - the new way to describe and assemble scenes in Bevy code: https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19/ #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Bevy 0.19 ships with plenty of performance improvements by shifting more work from the CPU to the GPU: https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19/#render-big-scenes-faster #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Bevy 0.19 ships with a important ECS change: resources are now components, so no special case anymore, all nice @bevy_ecs features that apply for components now apply to resources (singletons): https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19/#resources-as-components #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Bevy 0.19 ships with "areal lights" using Linearly Transformed Cosines method - a really nice looking effect: https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19/#rectangular-area-lights #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Its been a good week since our last virtual #Bevy meetup (13) happened. If you missed talks of one of our three community speakers its a great opportunity to watch it on the recorded YouTube stream now: https://youtube.com/live/CeaMEDb9hZ8 #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy@mastodon.social

Bevy by default builds on gpu and therefore modern rendering APIs like Metal and Vulkan, now we have a OpenGL 2 backend: https://github.com/DGriffin91/bgl2 - #Bevy on Windows XP anyone? #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy@mastodon.social

Bevy 0.19 ships with more and more UI widgets (feathers) that will be the foundation for the highly anticipated @bevy@mastodon.social scene editor: https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19/#more-feathers-widgets #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Few month ago I moved from #GitHub + private CI runners to #Gitea and the only thing bugging me was the lack of runner autoscaling. Solved now with a little #rustlang app. atm requires a #Hetzner token but I will eventually open source it once it proved its stability.

Its my pleasure to share the date for the next #@bevy@mastodon.social meetup: https://rustunit.com/bevy-meetup/bevy-meetup-13/ - with three amazing speakers: Doce, Mads and Brian with talks from building engaging UIs, over running Bevy on iOS to better debugging - rsvp, save the date #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮

Watch Brian share his experience bringing some of the common Unreal debug tooling to #rustlang and #Bevy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSyj5cQjCiM #rust #gamedev 🦀🎮 @bevy@mastodon.social

For a while we are operating our own ci autoscaling for Gitea successfully, now it is open source: https://rustunit.com/blog/2026/03-30-gitea-ci-autoscaler/ #rustlang #kubernetes #rust 🦀🕸️

Following the GitUI 0.28 release I want to especially highlight the progress that is being made to "oxidize" away from its current ties to C and libgit2 - if you wanna support this process find open issues here: https://github.com/gitui-org/gitui/issues/2676 #rustlang #cpp 🦀

Bevy 0.19 ships with the new bsn! macro introducing a DSL to describe/build scenes in a more ergonomic way in code and soon also in an asset format: https://bevy.org/news/bevy-0-19/#next-generation-scenes #rustlang #gamedev 🦀🎮
