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)
+ normalize plane normal input for btStaticPlaneShape
+ fixed issue related to swapped collision detectors (SphereTriangleDetector in particular)
Thanks a lot to Andrey Tuganov for reporting the issue and his reproduction case ( http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2143 )
+ 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)
+ improved friction warm starting
+ made constraint solver configuration more consistent (moved m_solverMode into btContactSolverInfo)
+ reset timing in CDTestFramework after initialization (SAP init destorts timings)
+ make it easier to change default sizes for stack allocator in btDefaultCollisionConfiguration
+ fixed issue with persistent manifold, warmstarting values were not initialized properly
+ don't clear manifold in sphere-sphere collision (need warmstarting)
+ added support for 'split impulse', decouple positional error correction from velocity correction
This avoids adding momentum due to penetration correction, it can be tuned using following variables:
solverInfo.m_splitImpulse = true/false (disable/enable)
solverInfo.m_splitImpulsePenetrationThreshold (below this value, baumgarte/mixed velocity/penetration is used (cheaper, looks more plausible)
solverInfo.m_linearSlop (less jitter, when small amound of penetration is allowed)
Thanks Martijn Reuvers from Two Tribes B.V. (www.twotribes.com) for the patch
To make this work more visible, suppress warnings in external libraries in Extras (COLLADA_DOM, libxml and glui contain many warnings)
Added PreprocessorDefinitions: _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE;_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE to vcproj files
+ fix related btMinkowskiSumShape issue in btSubsimplexConvexCast and btGjkConvexCast
+ add hitpoint for btSubsimplexConvexCast
+ reduce maximum number of iterations in conservative advancement/CCD implementations
Added very basic drawTriangle for btIDebugDraw, useful for basic softbody visualization.
Added btGjkEpa2, contribution by Nathanael Presson. Improved version of EPA penetration depth computation, more suitable for multi-core/SPU (less memory usage). Note: btGjkEpa2 is not enabled by default currently.
