If user wants more accurate inertia tensor for multi-sphere shape, use btCompoundShape instead
(amd btCompoundShape::calculatePrincipalAxisTransform)
Thanks rcharlton for bringing this up.

Force activation state of static objects to be ISLAND_SLEEPING, once they are added to the world
Add backwards compatibility option btDiscreteDynamicsWorld::setSynchronizeAllMotionStates, just in case only updating active objects broke someones code
Don't disable 3D box-box in box2ddemo
Thanks Ole for the report and suggested fix:

Applied Character/btKinematicCharacterController.cpp patch:
Thanks Thomas for the patch!

- 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).
+ applied patch to mix double/single precision meshes independent from double/single precision Bullet build
Thanks to Ole for the patch, http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=213
+ re-enable warming starting in constraint solver, it was disabled by accident
+ fix btConvexHullShape constructor, so accept vertices with non-16-byte striding
Thanks Shawn Baird for report and fix: http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=204
For example, to only allow linear motion in the X-Z plane, and only rotation around Y axis use:
body->setLinearFactor(btVector3(1,0,1));
body->setAngularFactor(btVector3(0,1,0));
Fix build issues with CodeBlocks, when generating projectfiles using CMake 2.6:
${OPENGL_glU_LIBRARY} should be ${OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY}
Fix build issue with CodeBlocks, comment out xmlfree in Extras/COLLADA_DOM/src/modules/LIBXMLPlugin/daeLIBXMLPlugin.cpp (will leak memory)
btRaycastVehicle and btKinematicCharacterController are derived from btActionInterface now.
Some cosmetic cleanup: changed sourceforce/sf.net url to bulletphysics.com.
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
Please see HfFluidDemo.cpp for examples of how to use the height field fluid along with buoyant collision shapes.
The implementation is still lacking in my ways:
1) Need to complete more collision algorithms for buoyant collision shapes
2) Support compound buoyant shapes
3) The buoyancy model isn't that great
4) Fluid volume can be lost over time
