warmstarting for contact points was broken, fix in btPersistentManifold
enable split impulse by default (at the cost of some performance)
add the option for zero-length friction (instead of recomputing friction directions using btPlaneSpace), use the solver mode flag SOLVER_ALLOW_ZERO_LENGTH_FRICTION_DIRECTIONS
precompute lateral friction directions (in btManifoldResult)
remove the mConstraintRow[3] from btManifoldPoint, it just took a lot of memory with no benefits: fixed it in btParallelConstraintSolver
Tweak the BenchmarkDemo a bit:
1) disable deactivation in graphical mode
2) add some settings that increase performance in the BenchmarkDemo2 (1000 stack) from 35ms to 15ms on this quad core (at the cost of a bit of quality)
virtual void btTypedConstraint::setParam(int num, btScalar value, int axis = -1) = 0;
virtual btScalar btTypedConstraint::getParam(int num, int axis = -1) const = 0;
Parameter can be BT_CONSTRAINT_ERP,BT_CONSTRAINT_STOP_ERP,BT_CONSTRAINT_CFM,BT_CONSTRAINT_STOP_CFM
Axis is 0 .. 5, first 3 for linear degrees of freedom, last 3 for angular. If no axis is specified it will take the 'default' degree of freedom. For a btHingeConstraint this would be the hinge axis (5)
Also comment-out some code for __SPU__ to reduce code size
Added btContactConstraint (only used on PS3 SPU right now, better to use btPersistentManifold directly for contact constraints)
Improved readblend utility library (see also usage in http://gamekit.googlecode.com with Irrlicht)
Fix for btConvexConvexAlgorithm, potential division by zero

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.
- applied a large patch to remove warnings
Thanks to Enrico, see http://www.bulletphysics.com/Bullet/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1568
- removed SSE includes, added #incude <string.h> for memset in Extras/quickstep, thanks Eternl Knight
- disabled 16-byte alignement on btQuadWord class, it causes problems under PS3 Linux. Need to check out why.
improved hinge constraint: adds limits
added btAtan2Fast
quaternion helper functions
All thanks to Starbreeze Studios / Marcus Hennix, Marten Svanfeldt
