Custom Cursors, Picking, and Space games - This Week in Bevy Engine

https://thisweekinbevy.com/issue/2024...

A PR for an implementation of Required Components went up this week. If you have crates that will be affected and are interested in the ongoing Next Generation Scene/UI work then this is an important PR to check out.

This week we see a number of quality-of-life improvements as well as great new lands like custom cursors. Other work merged this week feels like groundswell work than will make for a great 0.15 release.

We also see some interesting crates this week such as bevy_transform_interpolation which aid the use of FixedTimesteps as well as some crates that slipped from last week's issue like leafwing-input-manger 0.15.
