Vulkan Backend, IK Spiders, and holiday voxels - This Week in Bevy

The release candidate process continues, which means more stabilization PRs and small bug fixes this week for the most part.

wgpu 23 was released and is now merged for Bevy 0.15. Animation Blending had some blending weight changes to make the blending more reasonable to reason about.

In the community showcase this week there's multiple inverse-kinematic spiders, the holiday season is starting to rear its head, and a really interesting Vulkan backend for Bevy that I'm hoping to see more of in the future.

Thanks for mentioning my graphing calculator, it was fun to make!

I think bevy needs more centralised resources around rendering, the graphics pipeline, shaders and so on
Especially the pipeline
ESPECIALLY the pipeline

OpenGL and Vulkan is the first what game developers need to learn
