1) Add fast branchless SIMD support for constraint solver (Windows only until we get other contributions).
See resolveSingleConstraintRowGenericSIMD in Bullet/src/BulletDynamics/ConstraintSolver/btSequentialImpulseConstraintSolver.cpp
resolveSingleConstraintRowGenericSIMD can be used for all constraints, including contact, point 2 point, hinge, generic etc.
2) During this refactoring, all constraints support the obsolete 'solveConstraintObsolete' while we add 'getInfo1' and 'getInfo2' support.
This interface is almost identical interface to Open Dynamics Engine, to make it easier to port Dantzig LCP solver.
3) Some minor refactoring to reduce huge constructor overhead in math classes.
Fix issues with btDbvt: use ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED16
Removed several places where variable was declared within for statement: for (int i=0; should be int i; for (i=0
minor fix in btTransformUtil::calculateVelocityQuaternion, report zero angular velocity on identical transforms (using above operator to check identical transforms)
Disable libxml LIBXML_MODULE_EXTENSION
Fixed include path in btConeTwistConstraint (it should be relative to src folder, not using ../../ )
Thanks to ejtttje, http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=129
Add CMake install support for libbulletmath,libbulletcollision,libbulletdynamics,libbulletsoftbody,and toplevel include files
Options to enable/disable BUILD_DEMOS and BUILD_ETRAS
Fixed compile issue in BulletMultiThreaded
Fixed double-precision issues with btMatrix3x3::getEulerZYX
btQuantizedBvh has a version number, memory layout might be different now (due to aligned btVector3)
reorganized some data members of some classes, to reduce memory footprint
BulletMultiThreaded/NarrowPhaseCollision makes use of this boxBoxDistance.
Cache some values in src/BulletMultiThreaded/SpuContactManifoldCollisionAlgorithm.cpp, to avoid DMA transfers
2) Added btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil: this allows caching of separating distance/vector as early-out to avoid convex-convex collision detection.
btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil is used in src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btConvexConvexAlgorithm.cpp and can be controlled by btDispatcherInfo.m_useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil/m_convexConservativeDistanceThreshold
3) Use BulletMultiThreaded/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath_aos.h as fallback for non-PlayStation 3 Cell SPU/PPU platforms (used by boxBoxDistance).
Note there are other implementations in Extras/vectormath folder, that are potentially faster for IBM Cell SDK 3.0 SPU (libspe2)
and rayTestInternal re-uses precomputed invRayDirection/signs.
also did some performance comparison with different ray-AABB test, from
http://jgt.akpeters.com/papers/EisemannEtAl07/
In short: it is faster, but it is not clear how to cull ray segments using ray slopes: when rays starts inside the AABB, we get a negative t value, but negatives also get false t-values...
1) re-allocate a pool allocator, if one of the soft body collision algorithms is larger than max pool element size
2) manage child shapes properly, and call RemoveReferences on the m_sparsesdf
Add dynamic aabb tree (btDbvt) optimization for btCompoundShape/btCompoundCollisionAlgorithm
Add btTransformAabb util, todo: deploy it throughout the codebase
+ improved btSubsimplexConvexCast, btContinuousConvexCollision and btGjkConvexCast to support configuration that start in touching/penetration, required for 'sliding'.
+ added files to CMakeLists.txt for CharacterController
+ bump up version to 2.70 (preparation for beta)
