Tangentally related - we should call out the next meetup in the next newsletter :)

@ozkriff I'll quickly do a writeup that you can put wherever if you like

[AngelOnFira]

The Rust Gamedev meetup will happen on the second Saturday of every month at 16:00 GMT+0. The meetup will be an opportunity to chat with others from the Rust game development community and see what people are working on. The meetup will take place on the Rust Gamedev Discord server:

Looks great 💯

Github won't let me point out the relevant section, but the Bevy section was changed to use semicolons instead of periods or commas to end bulleted lists, which feels a bit awkward nothing else in the newsletter does that:

- a WebGL2 render backend;
- cross platform main function: `#[bevy_main]`;
- live shader reloading;
- Schedule v2 with custom stages, run criteria, fixed timestep,
  and typed stage builders;
- States that allow you to enable/disable systems
  according to the state your app is in;
- scenes can now be spawned as children;
- dynamic linking that significantly cuts compile times.
- a new general-purpose Rust reflection API;
- 3D texture assets;
- HIDPI fixes;
- GLTF, timer, text layout, task system, logging & profiling improvements;
- ECS improvements: flexible system parameters, improved query filter API,
  and system inputs/outputs/chaining;
- Apple Silicon support!

A plugin integrating Bevy. ECS with doryen-rs Ascii roguelike library.

Was meant to be "Bevy's ECS" ?

[kvark]

Glad to see this is happening, thank you!

Yup. Looks like that got added in this style-fix commit:
5cc9150

Edit: or rather "Bevy ECS"

Ok, so I'm merging this, but feel free to report other issues if you happen to see them - I'll fix them in separate commits.
