### [Edict]

[Edict] by [@zakarumych] is powerful Rust ECS crate that expands traditional ECS
feature set. The new version 0.2 is getting [ready for release]. This ECS is based
on archetypes for fast cache-friendly iteration. And there are quite a few novel
features:

- [Edict] allows to express relations between entities using [`Relation`] trait.
Relations are linked to a pair of entities - origin and target. This opens a
wide range of opportunities to create entity graphs with custom logic.
- Custom hooks for components and relations to trigger actions when component is
dropped/replaced, or when relation target is dropped.
- Optional [`Component`] trait. [Edict] allows using component types that do not
implement [`Component`] with some restrictions.
- Change tracking with flexible queries for modified components suitable for
complex use cases. E.g. incremental saves can fetch all components modified
since previous save.
- Type-agnostic component borrowing. Component type may define list of types
that can be borrowed from it. Important use case is borrowing [`dyn Traits`].
- [Edict] supports parallel execution. Built-in scheduler uses systems that
implement [`System`] trait. Functions can be safely transformed into systems
similarly to [`bevy_ecs`].
