need to be de/respawned when a given asset changes
* simplified & streamlined internals of hot reloading using the above
* related cleanups & minor improvements
* fixed huge logical error in component processing (require Name components) that was breaking
scene level extras/components

* bumped up Bevy version to v0.14 !
* fixed (albeit in a clunky way) issues with sub blueprint detection
* improved error message for missing material library
* added HideUntilReady component & logic, to hide 'in-spawning' blueprint instances until they are ready
* "add-to-world" is now only trigerred for blueprint instances that have no parents (avoid footgun)
* minor cleanups & tweaks
* added test component with Vec3 to double check for issues
* updated test blend file to include the component above + added a light to the test spawnable blueprint
to check for "light flashes" (aka indirectly testing "HideUntilReady")
* fixed issue with parenting due to Blender's very weird matrix_parent_inverse ... solves all issues with children of empties
blueprint instances within blueprint instances etc having the wrong transforms in some cases
* fixed bad gltf format propagation: semi ok solution, but a cleaner one would be better
* added additional custom properties to the blacklist , level/blueprint exports are now using the one in the constants
instead of a local copy

(aka all its assets have been loaded, blueprint scene & sub scenes spawned & processed etc)
* reworked spawning steps for more determinism & reliability
* no more "seperate" spawning post process
* lots of related changes
* still messy but functional
* Blender: some additional component filtering for upgrade ui
* Bevy:
* experimenting with overhauled blueprint spawning logic, sub-blueprint instance tracking etc
* added a more simple blend file to test things out with
* cleaned up hot reload code a bit
* renamed a few things for clarity
* experimented with hiding entity while spawning & showing it again after spawn to
try and remove "flashes" happening when spawning blueprints with lights
* for testing example, fixed dynamic spawner test
* fixed issues with selections
* discovered more issues with selection button in "upgrade/rename" screen, partially fixed
* improved visualization of selections for objects, collections, meshes & materials, including auto-switching
to the correct properties tab for clarity
* fixed ui issues in the upgrade components screen
* made distinction between local & remote ones clearer
* minor tweaks & improvements
* added additional test "upgreadeable components"
* added test "buggy" hierarchies: blueprint instances as children of empties and blueprint
instances as children of other blueprint instance
* more materials
* testing cases for various levels of nesting/ targets for components
* reorganized objects in 3d scene for more clarity
* changed camera view for more clarity
* added background color & filmic
* fixed bad hashing causing hashed project across two different blender sessions to appear different
aka, no more systematic re-export of everything when reloading a project in blender !
* fixed issues with modifier & material hashing that was also causing overly eager change detection
* previous_xxx_settings are now only saved AFTER a sucessfull export, for coherence
* added more fine grained setting change detection (aka some setting changes do not require a re-export of all levels & blueprints !)
* fixed handling of level & library scene names as part of the settings
* fixed numerous issues with core, auto_export & component settings
* cleaned up a ton of very verbose debug message
* BlenvyAssets => BlueprintAssets
* a lot of minor cleanups
* contains both name & path
* also experimented with merging the asset load tracking into BlenvyAssets by adding the fields from the
asset loading tracker & ignoring them/ defaulting them for deserialization
to get the list of assets & preload them
* a tiny bit clunky but works and is somewhat cleaner than the previous "staggered loading" approach
* enables having level load state (could be used for progress information & co)
* modified blueprints spawning to used the new system
* various cleanups & related tweaks
* fixed issues on the Blender side when with the formating of the ron data for assets
* fixed handling of scene gltf_extras
* fixed handling of colors for BlenderBackgroundShader
* added scene tonemapping & scene colorgrading and handling on the Bevy side.
* experimented with exporting ron asset files, updated & overhauled asset file generation, adapted
for blueprints
* various cleanups
* added a much improved "get current selection in outliner" helper function
* added MESH and MATERIAL variants to the type enums
* added metadata to both Mesh & Material types
* various related tweaks & improvements
* includes components, registry export & blueprints
* overhauled settings / config to match the new structure
* keeping the different sub plugins for now
* cleaned up some of the internals of the blueprints code
* related tweaks & cleanups
* added events to blueprints : for when assets have been loaded & when a blueprint has been spawned (wip)
* various experiments with blueprints
* updated testing to make use of new crate & logic
* tweaked & changed code where relevant
* also added support for the new gltf_xxx_extras in bevy_gltf_components
* animation support needs an overhaul given the extensive changes in v0.14 (wip)
* still a giant mess, but works
* examples not yet updated, will get overhauled
* testing project is now independant from the "common" example code: ie no debug ui, no physics,
no bevy_asset_loader
* testing project WORKS , even without any of the above, so asset loading (even if rough), is functional !
* added VERY rough hierarchy/ components debug to testing project to visualize things
without bevy_editor_pls egui & co
* related tweaks & changes
* now correctly using nested long names + attribute name for structs
* so no more hashing collisions for all test cases !
* restructured internals of property group generation & registration
* dynamically generated property group classes are now unregistered correctly
* lots of minor related tweaks & improvements
* to fix issues with hash collisions because of incomplete & incorect "component paths"
(ie the different nesting levels of the structs within components)
* removed short name nested component path passing
* changed the way the composite paths are created & the hash is generated
* a lot of other related changes
* also changed the registry's default path, to use the blenvy level assets path
* fixed broken registry reload
* fixed incorect handling of the "invalid" flag when reloading the registry should fix that
* fixed unreliable generate_propGroup_name : now uses tiger-hash to generate hashes of nested paths + long names
this ensures that even if there are additions & removals to the registry, it does not break existing components !
* fixed & overhauled list & map components ui handling for objects + collections/blueprints
* merged the various list component ui operators into a single one
* removed obsolete code in registry & components
* improved handling of invalid components in the UI: now they are not displayed ! much cleaner & simpler
* overall cleanup to components
* lots of minor tweaks & co
* all operators, panels etc are now respecting the Blender naming convention
* tweaks & improvements to some of the component operators
* clearer naming for the "advanced" tools for components
* removed obsolete / overly complex pieces of UI
* complete rework of component selections: much nicer, searchable, simpler ui
* main component selector & per "error" component selectors , as well as bulk replace
ones are now all independant
* overhauled a lot of helpers to work with both objects & collections
* reworked ui ordering for upgrade/ rename
* more clearer status display for invalid components
* etc etc
