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.
It is called bt3DGridBroadphase and btCudaBroadphase is now derived from it rater than from btSimpleBroadphase
Test of bt3DGridBroadphase was added to CDTestFramework
Add Concave Convexcast demo back in AllBulletDemos, and tweaked it a bit.
Fix view frustum of ForkLiftDemo (caused picking to fail)
Removed innerloop profiling for ray and convex casts, it hurts performance.
Set default #aabb's in CDTestFramework to 8192
See USE_SOFTWARE_CACHE in Bullet\src\BulletMultiThreaded\SpuNarrowPhaseCollisionTask\SpuGatheringCollisionTask.cpp
It improves the Bullet midphase collision detection (triangle/vertex fetch)
The license is CommonPublicLicense-1.0, see included license docs.
Some cleanup for ForkLiftDemo
Enable textures for ConcavePhysicsDemo,
Added scaling to BasicDemo to show small objects (20 centimeter)
Removed demos from 'AllBulletDemos': less (clutter) = more
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
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
Don't create a todo list for doxygen by default (the chaotic todo's would confuse most developers)
Improve support for small objects, by having dynamic contact breaking thresholds. Still needs small internal timestep and some GJK improvements.
Fixed recently introduced issue: can't re-use stack as member variable (to reduce memory allocs) in btDbvt, due to recursion.
remove btGjkEpa.* from Makefile.am, Makefile and CMakeLists.txt
avoid division-by-zero in ODE boxbox contact reduction
Plan is to convert COLLADA XML into IFF, for faster, more compact and easier to read and parse files.
Reading/writing code is a few hundred lines of code, instead of COLLADA-DOM and libxml combo.
So it would be suitable as a run-time format for platforms ranging from iPhone to PlayStation 3.
Relevant physics data (and perhaps other data) will be converted from COLLADA -> IFF.
We could call the resulting files COLLADA binary IFF -> CLIFF.
