Option to de/serialize btPersistentContactManifolds and fix lossy conversion during btMultiBody de/serialization of base world transform
(serialize the quaternion, not the converted 3x3 matrix)
There are still several caches not taken into account, and btMultiBody links/constraints are not deserialized yet etc.
See examples\pybullet\examples\saveRestoreState.py for an example.
pybullet/C-API, expose linear/angular damping
fix some warnings (param name needs to be same in .h and .cpp)
fix potential startup threading issue (args were deleted in main thread while still possibly use in child thread)
fix for spinning/rolling friction in case of mixing maximal and reduced coordinate btMultiBody+btRigidBody
Add several MSVC optimization flags to cmake.
Bump up VERSION because serialization format changed
Expose btScalar& jointMaxForce, btScalar& jointMaxVelocity to 'getJointInfo2' API, add backwards compatibility to examples\Importers\ImportURDFDemo\URDFImporterInterface::getJointInfo.
pybullet: expose 4 more fields to getJointInfo: jointLowerLimit/jointUpperLimit/jointMaxForce/jointMaxVelocity
fix performance issue in CMD_ACTUAL_STATE_UPDATE_COMPLETED
[pybullet] updated pybullet_quickstartguide.pdf
Fail clearly (assert, return BT_INFINITY) if link index is out of range for btMultiBody methods localPosToWorld,worldPosToLocal,localDirToWorld,worldDirToLocal.
pybullet getConstraintInfo
Fix warnings due to Mac OSX 10.12 upgrade (with backward compatibility)
use btAssert to detect 0 determinant in btMatrix3x3 inverse
Remove obsolete comment in PosixSharedMemory, the Windows shared memory implementation was done over a year ago
Parse and use colors from URDF file (single rgba color per link, not per visual)
Rename btMultiBody 'stepVelocities' to 'computeAccelerationsArticulatedBodyAlgorithmMultiDof'
btHashMap, add const Value* operator[]
remove a few more obsolete btMultiBody methods (on the non-multi-dof path)
fix spelling typo in fillConstraintJacobianMultiDof (fil -> fill)
Add mention to Jakub Stepien for his work on btMultiBody
remove targetdir from all libraries in premake, so it is much easier to create a separate folder for all binary+lib
transmit the serialized btMultiBody data back from server to client, after the server loads a URDF file. This includes base+link+joint names
tweak the serialization routines, so it is easier to skip pointers and to serialize directly to a shared memory buffer
also tweak the serialization code to allow to process data without 'DNA' schema data (assuming file-DNA = memory DNA)
remove various vertex format structures and use GLInstanceVertex from #include "OpenGLWindow/GLInstanceGraphicsShape.h"
btMultiBody::setupPrismatic takes an additional argument to allow a shift of inertia tensor, relative to the joint frame (link frame at q=0)
Fix WinXP GetTickCount64 with a typedef
Expose debug drawing mode/flags in UI (hot keys A,D,L,W for now, buttons later)
GLInstancingRenderer: tweak near/far planes to allow closer approach of camera
btDiscreteDynamicsWorld: enable debug drawing for btGeneric6DofSpring2Constraint
btMultiBodyDynamicsWorld: enable basic debug drawing for btMultiBody
btMultibody: allow center-of-mass shift for prismatic and fixed constraint
improve btMultiBody version of URDF reader (still work-in-progress)
enabled planar joint for btMultiBody (untested)
enable loading from relative path for .stl meshes
