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
added preliminary continuous dynamics world (under construction, not ready yet)
fix crash on when restarting simplex demo using spacebar, Thanks Jorrit Tyberghein for reporting!
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);
Thanks Jay for reporting
Added braking capability to btRaycastVehicle, see Bullet/Demos/VehicleDemo/VehicleDemo.cpp
Added glutKeyboardUpFunc, for vehicle demo (keep accelerating/breaking, until key released/UP). Hope this is compatible with most GLUT implementations.
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)
Fixed memoryleak in btOptimizedBvh (delete []m_contiguousNodes;)
Changed DemoApplication::localCreateRigidBody, so it adds the rigidbody to the btDynamicsWorld.
Added check for duplicate objects in world when adding.
Added assert to prevent setLinearVelocity on static rigidbodies
Added btCollisionFilterGroups to btBroadphaseProxy
removed duplicate 'btBroadphaseProxy* m_broadphaseProxy;' in btRigidBody
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'
removed deletion of motionstate in CcdPhysics/CcdPhysicsController destructor
disabled m_type optimization in SimdTransform (making the memory size 64 byte, potentially more cache friendly)
fixed a bug in island generation, causing the activation not propagating in one frame, but one 'layer' of rigidbodies at a time
