Highlights include Bevy 0.15 and 0.16 releases, 2 million+ crates.io downloads, 40,900 GitHub stars, and the Bevy Foundation gaining 501(c)(3) status. Major efforts underway include GPU-driven rendering, real-time ray tracing (Solari), a new scene/UI system called BSN, standard UI widgets (Feathers), hot reloading, a CLI, and WESL shader tooling. The post also discusses funding struggles at the Bevy Foundation, reflections on past predictions, and priorities for the coming year including BSN, reactivity, UI widgets, and a baseline editor platform. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
