minor fix in btTransformUtil::calculateVelocityQuaternion, report zero angular velocity on identical transforms (using above operator to check identical transforms)
Disable libxml LIBXML_MODULE_EXTENSION
Fixed include path in btConeTwistConstraint (it should be relative to src folder, not using ../../ )
Thanks to ejtttje, http://code.google.com/p/bullet/issues/detail?id=129
Don't create a todo list for doxygen by default (the chaotic todo's would confuse most developers)
Improve support for small objects, by having dynamic contact breaking thresholds. Still needs small internal timestep and some GJK improvements.
Add CMake install support for libbulletmath,libbulletcollision,libbulletdynamics,libbulletsoftbody,and toplevel include files
Options to enable/disable BUILD_DEMOS and BUILD_ETRAS
Fixed compile issue in BulletMultiThreaded
Fixed double-precision issues with btMatrix3x3::getEulerZYX
Fixed recently introduced issue: can't re-use stack as member variable (to reduce memory allocs) in btDbvt, due to recursion.
remove btGjkEpa.* from Makefile.am, Makefile and CMakeLists.txt
avoid division-by-zero in ODE boxbox contact reduction
to build, go to Bullet/src/ibm_sdk and run make
then, go to Bullet/src/BulletMultiThreaded/ibm_sdk
make -f Makefile.original spu
make -f Makefile.original ppu
btQuantizedBvh has a version number, memory layout might be different now (due to aligned btVector3)
reorganized some data members of some classes, to reduce memory footprint

Fix btConvexTriangleMeshShape::calculatePrincipalAxisTransform
Both thanks to Ole.
Use our own union to extract a scalar value from an SSE intrinsic (instead of relying on MSVC-only m128_u32
Thanks to BlindSide
Plan is to convert COLLADA XML into IFF, for faster, more compact and easier to read and parse files.
Reading/writing code is a few hundred lines of code, instead of COLLADA-DOM and libxml combo.
So it would be suitable as a run-time format for platforms ranging from iPhone to PlayStation 3.
Relevant physics data (and perhaps other data) will be converted from COLLADA -> IFF.
We could call the resulting files COLLADA binary IFF -> CLIFF.
BulletMultiThreaded/NarrowPhaseCollision makes use of this boxBoxDistance.
Cache some values in src/BulletMultiThreaded/SpuContactManifoldCollisionAlgorithm.cpp, to avoid DMA transfers
2) Added btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil: this allows caching of separating distance/vector as early-out to avoid convex-convex collision detection.
btConvexSeparatingDistanceUtil is used in src/BulletCollision/CollisionDispatch/btConvexConvexAlgorithm.cpp and can be controlled by btDispatcherInfo.m_useConvexConservativeDistanceUtil/m_convexConservativeDistanceThreshold
3) Use BulletMultiThreaded/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath/scalar/cpp/vectormath_aos.h as fallback for non-PlayStation 3 Cell SPU/PPU platforms (used by boxBoxDistance).
Note there are other implementations in Extras/vectormath folder, that are potentially faster for IBM Cell SDK 3.0 SPU (libspe2)
btGhostObject can be used for character control, fast short-ray tests, explosions, collision trigger zones etc
See Demos/CharacterDemo/KinematicCharacterController.* for example use. We add some explosion demo before next release.
It is a fast way to keep track of overlapping objects in an area, and doing rayTest and convexSweepTest for overlapping objects, instead of btCollisionWorld::rayTest/convexSweepTest.
Updated KinematicCharacterController to use btPairCachingGhostObject.
and rayTestInternal re-uses precomputed invRayDirection/signs.
also did some performance comparison with different ray-AABB test, from
http://jgt.akpeters.com/papers/EisemannEtAl07/
In short: it is faster, but it is not clear how to cull ray segments using ray slopes: when rays starts inside the AABB, we get a negative t value, but negatives also get false t-values...

Renamed collideRay -> rayTest to reflect change to (rayFrom,rayTo) interface.
Re-use btRayAabb2 function from src/LinearMath/btAabbUtil2.h in btDbvt instead of duplicated implementation.
Add rayTest to btBroadphaseInterface, and implement efficient version for btDbvtBroadphase to accelerate raycasting.
btAxisSweep3, btSimpleBroadphase and btMultiSapBroadphase implement brute-force method (as before). For now, it is recommended to use btDbvtBroadphase for fastest world raycast.
