Revert btHashKeyPtr and introduce btHashPtr (to avoid breaking API/COLLADA Converter), see http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=318
Disable separating distance util (it just costs CPU cycles and is disabled by default in the API anyway)
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
+ 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 )
virtual void getAllContactManifolds(btManifoldArray& manifoldArray)
See Demos/CharacterDemo/CharacterDemo.cpp for example usage of getAllContactManifolds
Added btDbvtBroadphase to btBulletCollisionCommon.h headerfile
Enable soft body vs concave (albeit slow)
Improved contact point debug rendering (moved from constraint solver into debugDrawWorld)
- copy user data over to child shape
- added applied impulse to btManifoldPoint
- add ContactProcessedCallback (needs test/demo)
- didn't copy over m_additionalDampingFactor into btRigidBody.
added hashtable based PairManager, thanks Pierre Terdiman and Erin Catto
improved friction in 'cachefriendly' solver
moved 'refreshcontactpoints' into collision detection, instead of solver
avoid linear search for contact manifolds, by storing an index
ignore margin for sphere shape (its entire radius is already margin)
avoid alignment checks in BVH serialization, they don't compile on 64-bit architectures
made 'bomb' box more heavy
Some dynamic memory allocations have been replace by pool allocation or stack allocations.
quantized aabb versus quantized aabb overlap check is made branch-free (helps a lot on consoles PS3/XBox 360)
Collision algorithms are now created through a new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration, to decouple dependency (this is the API change):
Example:
btDefaultCollisionConfiguration* collisionConfiguration = new btDefaultCollisionConfiguration();
m_dispatcher = new btCollisionDispatcher(collisionConfiguration);
improved performance of constraint solver by precalculating the cross product/impulse arm
added collision comparison code: ODE box-box, also sphere-triangle
added safety check into GJK, and an assert for AABB's that are very large
write partid/triangle index outside of GJK
CompoundShapes are tricky to manage with respect to persistent contact points and swapped order of btCollisionObjects,
During dispatch, finding an algorith etc. order can be swapped.
fixed several other issues, related to SimpleBroadphase (removing a proxy was not working)
removed two cached optimizations, type in btTransform and cached inverse transform (todo: test performance impact)
committed fixes that make the code adhere to 'who creates it, also destroys it'
