use btConvexPolyhedron for debug rendering, if available
fixes in btConvexConvexAlgorithm for polyhedral contact clipping, if GJK separating normal is zero
don't shift vertices in btPolyhedralConvexShape
Make the winding consistent in btConvexHullComputer (and related fixes in btPolyhedralConvexShape), thanks to Ole!
Some fixes in the btPolyhedralContactClipping implementation (never report a penetration deeper than GJK/EPA found, to avoid issues due to its approximate contact normal directions)
Properly visualize btPolyhedralConvexHullShape that have a btConvexPolyhedron (by calling initializePolyhedralFeatures() method)
improved debug rendering for polyhedra
allow to dynamically switch between gjk and sat test to compute separating axis (independent from the polyhedral clipping)
Continuous sweeps do not detect hits unless body0 and body1 penetrate more than allowedCcdPenetration.
This is to allow sliding objects (characters) where otherwise any contact would result in TOI = 0.
If objects penetrate deeper than allowedCcdPenetration at the start of the sweep, a TOI=0 is reported, unless the motion will separate the objects.
Secondly, a reportFailure method is added to CastResults, to handle failures gracefully (in case max iterations of conservative advancement is reached etc)
Added initial support for polyhedral contact clipping.
This clipping takes a separating normal, that can be computed using either SAT or GJK/EPA.
To enable clipping, use btPolyhedralConvexShape::initializePolyhedralFeatures(); (needs to be enabled for both convex shapes)
No concave trimesh support for SAT/clipping yet. To enable SAT, see the toggle in btConvexConvexAlgorithm.
Fixes in contact normal in btGjkPairDetector. Hopefully this doesn't cause any regression (we need unit tests!)
Toggle between point to point and generic 6dof constraint for mouse picking in the demos
Use a 'equal vertex thresdhold' in the btVoronoiSimplexSolver of 0.0001f by default.
This can be disabled (or configured) using defaultCollisionConfiguration->getSimplexSolver()->setEqualVertexThreshold(0.f);
See http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=305
Make btTypedConstraint and btPersistentManifold both derive from btTypedObject to make SPU-side generic constraint solver easier.
Note: all build systems need to be updated: remove SpuVoronoiSimplexSolver.cpp, SpuGjkPairDetector.cpp, SpuEpaPenetrationDepthSolver.cpp, SpuGjkEpa2.cpp
+ Allow user to enable useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil . Use dynamicsWorld->getDispatchInfo().m_useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil = true;
(see Demos/Benchmarks/Benchmark4 (convex objects falling down)
+ Fix for plane drawing (just wire-frame)
+ Gimpact: use collision margin of 0.07 for demo (because BULLET_TRIANGLE_COLLISION is used)
+ replace dot,cross,distance,angle,triple in btVector3 by btDot, btCross,btDistance,btAngle,btDistance to avoid naming conflicts
+ Some fixes in GJK penetration depth normal direction (broken in a previous commit)
+ fix in calculateDiffAxisAngleQuaternion to make ConvexConservativeDistanceUtil work properly
+ allow debug drawing to debug btContinuousConvexCollision
+ add comment/warning that btTriangleMesh::findOrAddVertex is an internal method, users should use addTriangle instead
Thanks Ole for the report and suggested fix:

Applied Character/btKinematicCharacterController.cpp patch:
Thanks Thomas for the patch!
http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=196#makechanges
- added a normalizedDirection member variable. This is
slightly more efficient than recalculating the normalized
direction every simulation step.
- I overloaded the m_walkDirection member variable to hold
either the walkDirection or the Velocity, and used a boolean
flag to determine which behavior was required.
- The normalization behavior seemed custom, and I needed it
twice, so I moved it to a static helper method.
- I added the setVelocityForTimeInterval() method to the
base interface class. This to me is the scariest change
since people inheriting from it will need to make changes
(if only to add an empty function).
Added optional flag btSoftBody::appendAnchor( int node,btRigidBody* body, bool disableCollisionBetweenLinkedBodies=false), to disable collision between soft body and rigid body, when pinned
Added btCollisionObject::setAnisotropicFriction, to scale friction in x,y,z direction.
Added btCollisionObject::setContactProcessingThreshold(float threshold), to avoid collision resolution of contact above a certain distance.
Avoid collisions between static objects (causes the CharacterDemo to assert, when a dynamic object hits character)
Usage: set RayResultCallback.m_flags to kF_FilterBackfaces, optionally combined with kF_KeepUnflippedNormal.
Thanks Andy O'Neil for the patch!
Remove the force_inline for some internal constraint solver methods, it makes re-use easier.
Workaround/avoid MSVC 2005 compiler error in LibXML/trionan.c
Revert definition for ATTRIBUTE_ALIGNED16, and try to force sizeof(btSolverConstraint) by using unions with btScalar, for non-btScalar data types.
Use btAssert and not assert.
Don't access btAlignedObjectArray elements, for zero sets
improve CollisionDemo.cpp, show multi-contact generation using perturbation
improve ColladaConverter: add hinge/point 2 point constraint conversion support, add btScaledTriangleMeshShape support
Fix Dynamica MayaPlygin: remove 'active' flag, it has to be replaced by mass=0 for active, mass<>0 for passive
Added missing projectfiles
Fixed single-shot contact generation. it is disabled by default to improve performance
Bugfixes for character controller, thanks to John McCutchan for reporting
Constraint solver: better default settings
btDefaultAllocator: aligned allocator uses non-aligned allocator (instead of directly malloc/free)
disable memalign by default, use Bullet's aligned allocator
Thanks to Ole for reporting
Fix a bug , causing some deep penetrations to be missed. Not likely to have impacted many users, as such deep penetrations should have prevented in the first place.
Thanks a lot to Andy O'Neil for reporting and reproduction case.
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.
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)
