Pipelined rendering increases motion-to-photon latency.

It can, but with care you can largely resolve this. And you can always disable pipelining if the performance benefits aren't worth it to you. Unity has a great article on this topic here: https://blog.unity.com/technology/fixing-time-deltatime-in-u...

Evil question:

I wonder why do you have version zero.something - this looks good enough for a version 1.

What do you like to accomplish?

And... What kind of help you'll need to get there??

Looks like a good reason to finally try out Rust. Does HN have any recommended IDEs?

You can either use rust-analyzer[1] (for which vscode is most well supported), or IntelliJ Rust [2]. Personally, I use `rust-analyzer` with vscode as a bevy developer.

I’m in favor of intelliJ or CLion but I hear good stuff about rust analyzer and vacode as well.

I can't speak for cart here, but from my perspective as a contributor to `bevy`, it's extremely useful having freedom from backwards compatibility concerns to improve our APIs.

For example, we want to rework our input handling, asset handling and UI; supporting this current UI solution indefinitely would be frustrating when we hope to make something much better once we can focus on that. As an example of this, we massively changed our rendering APIs for this release, allowing the improvements listed in the blog post to be implemented.

I'm just learning myself, and I found just Visual Studio Code and the Rust extension are great on Windows

Seconded! It all works incredibly well. Rust with Visual Studio Code and the relevant suggested extensions (CodeLLDB, rust-analyzer) must be least hostile expert system I've ever used (and I've tried a few).

All the way to the bottom of the blogpost, there is a list of areas being focused on.

Super happy to see 0.6 released, great work!

I've been sponsoring for close to a year, but haven't kept up with the Discord in many months. Currently I'm just been checking for updates every couple of weeks, and sometimes checking the state of GitHub issues and milestones.

However, is there any better way for me to keep up with progress? If not, has there been any thought about having regular status updates? They don't have to take a lot of your (or someone else's) time, but just a few sentences on what's been decided, what's happened, etc, would be nice! Once every 30 or 60 days would definitely be enough.
