You'll notice in the code the var is actually set again
a few lines down before being used so better to set it
after you've made sure the pointer is valid.

- Removed/Commented some unused vars
- CValue::GetPropertyText() could return a temp reference to a variable on the stack, option wasnt used anywhere so removed.
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::GetConstraintId allows args but ignored them
- KX_ConstraintWrapper::PySetParam didnt return NULL on an error (messing up pythons exceptions).
- BLI_natstrcmp didnt return 0 when the while loop exited
+ fixed Python method, PyArg_ParseTuple already checks for errors, no returning of NULL, thanks Campbell too)
+ added linear/angular spring for each of the 6DOFs of a generic 6dof constraint. This makes the generic 6dof constraint very versatile.

(todo: expose this setting in World setting GUI)
Expose contact processing threshold in Advanced GUI, next to rigid body margin, called CPT.
Default to 1, makes rigid body stacking a bit more stable, smaller values makes sliding easier (at the cost of easier jittering).
Disabled for 'dynamic' objects that don't rotate, because characters etc. always need smooth sliding.
Four new buttons in World settings to control frame rate:
fps: Nominal frame rate in frame per second.
Also sets the physics timestep = 1/fps
phys: Maximum number of physics timestep per game frame in case
the actual fps is less than nominal. This allows the
physics to keep up with real time even if the graphics slows
down the game.
sub: Fixed number of simulation substeps per physic timestep.
Improves the precision of the physics simulation. Useful for
fast moving objects for example.
log: Maximum number of logic steps per game frame in case the
actual fps is less than nominal. This allows the logic
system to follow the physics simulation.
Upper bound = phys
(setting the value higher than phys has no effect).
On games with heavy logic system, it is useful to set this
value to 1, to keep logic time under control.
All these values were already accessible from Python except phys:
GameLogic.getMaxPhysicsFrame():
Gets the maximum number of physics frame per render frame.
GameLogic.setMaxPhysicsFrame(phys):
Sets the maximum number of physics timestep that are executed per render frame.
Higher value allows physics to keep up with realtime even if graphics slows down the game.
Physics timestep is fixed and equal to 1/tickrate (see setLogicTicRate)
maxphysics/ticrate is the maximum delay of the renderer that physics can compensate.
phys: integer
Compound shape control
======================
1) GUI control
It is now possible to control which child shape is added to
a parent compound shape in the Physics buttons. The "Compound"
shape button becomes "Add to parent" on child objects and
determines whether the child shape is to be added to the top
parent compound shape when the game is stated.
Notes: * "Compound" is only available to top parent objects
(objects without parent).
* Nesting of compound shape is not possible: a child
object with "Add to parent" button set will be added
to the top parent compound shape, regardless of its
position in the parent-child hierarchy and even if its
immediate parent doesn't have the "Add to parent" button set.
2) runtime control
It is now possible to control the compound shape at runtime:
The SetParent actuator has a new "Compound" button that indicates
whether the object shape should be added to the compound shape
of the parent object, provided the parent has a compound shape
of course. If not, the object retain it's individual state
while parented.
Similarly, the KX_GameObject.setParent() python function has
a new compound parameter.
Notes: * When an object is dynamically added to a compound
shape, it looses temporarily all its physics capability
to the benefit of the parent: it cannot register collisions
and the characteristics of its shape are lost (ghost, sensor,
dynamic, etc.).
* Nested compound shape is not supported: if the object
being parented is already a compound shape, it is not
added to the compound parent (as if the Compound option
was not set in the actuator or the setParent function).
* To ensure compatibility with old blend files, the Blender
subversion is changed to 2.48.5 and the old blend files
are automatically converted to match the old behavior:
all children of a Compound object will have the "Add to
parent" button set automatically.
Child ghost control
===================
It is now possible to control if an object should becomes ghost
or solid when parented. This is only applicable if the object
is not added to the parent compound shape (see above).
A new "Ghost" button is available on the SetParent actuator to
that effect. Similarly the KX_GameObject.setParent() python function
has a new compound parameter.
Notes: * This option is not applicable to sensor objects: they stay
ghost all the time.
* Make sure the child object does not enter in collision with
the parent shape when the Ghost option if off and the parent is
dynamic: the collision creates a reaction force but the parent
cannot escape the child, so the force builds up and produces
eratic movements.
* The collision capability of an ordinary object (dynamic or static)
is limited when it is parented: it becomes automatically static
and can only detect dynamic and sensor objects.
* A sensor object retain its full collision capability when parented:
it can detect static and dynamic object.
Python control
==============
KX_GameObject.setParent(parent,compound,ghost):
Sets this object's parent.
Control the shape status with the optional compound and ghost parameters:
compound=1: the object shape should be added to the parent compound shape (default)
compound=0: the object should keep its individual shape.
In that case you can control if it should be ghost or not:
ghost=1 if the object should be made ghost while parented (default)
ghost=0 if the object should be solid while parented
Note: if the object type is sensor, it stays ghost regardless of ghost parameter
parent: KX_GameObject reference or string (object name w/o OB prefix)
Servo control motion actuator did not work as expected when the object
is moving on a moving platform.
This patch introduces a new Ref field in the servo motion actuator
to set a reference object for the velocity calculation.
You can set the object during the game using the actuator "reference"
attribute; use an object name or an object reference.
The servo controller takes into account the angular velocity of the
reference object to compute the relative local velocity.
- Size adjustments can be accomplished with warp mesh data now. So we get a free spot in the GUI for a tilt option.
- Tilt option to tilt the camera (for planetarium domes).
Angle is in degree from -180 to +180. It's needed for planetarium domes (as this one http://domejunky.blogspot.com/2009/05/dome-corrected-bge.html ).
- This is the last commit regarding dome code I expected to 2.49. I consider this feature full implemented now. (working on docs now)
Particles using group-duplication, with Metaballs in group, enter eternal
loop in our code now. This is a non-supported case... metaball code doesn't
support recursions. Added a provision in code to catch this case, and print
an error in console to denote this.
fix this by freeing the lib-file-data after linking or appending, re-appending will be slower now
(as slow as appending for the first time).
Not strictly needed, set the memory for bhead's to zero in readfile.c since comparisons are done later on with this data making valgrind complain.
Added some missing headers too.
Blender crashed, when started in debug -d, with compositor, after render.
Reason was the BKE_image_print_memlist() which reads the ibuf->rect from
all images, but for Image types "VIEWER" that's not valid, this data is
coming from other sources.
I've managed to find a basic fail-safe method to prevent using the read
data with an OK popup. I then still will read the file, but wait for user
confirmation to continue, or just free the database.
The pupup tells the user that at least animation data will be lost.
For background renders of 2.5+ things are more tricky, so here I've added
a default failure to read, returning 0, which will typically gracefully
quit blender.
shrinkwrap wasn't using the updated coordinates/normals of vertexs
when the DerivedMesh had been modified by a previous modifier.
before revision 19744, users would only notice a strange behaviour
of shrinkwrap in projection mode (because it was using the wrong normals)
(jpbouza reported this)
after revision 19744 this bug was "bigger".
Anyway it's fixed now :)
Armature modifier didn't set amd->prevCos temp variable to NULL
after freeing. Saving this in file will cause error or crash on
reading. Quite weird how it survived so long?
Ray-transparent didn't pass on thread number to shading code, giving
"blothes" in render, when using node materials.
This also rewinds Campbells commit of feb 21, which tackled the error,
but not the cause.
The fix is, if the file was saved on the highest multires level, then mesh contains a copy of the vertices anyway, and we can just copy it back into multires.
Otherwise, multires is removed from the mesh to avoid a crash.
Realtime modifiers applied on mesh objects will be supported in
the game engine with the following limitations:
- Only real time modifiers are supported (basically all of them!)
- Virtual modifiers resulting from parenting are not supported:
armature, curve, lattice. You can still use these modifiers
(armature is really not recommended) but in non parent mode.
The BGE has it's own parenting capability for armature.
- Modifiers are computed on the host (using blender modifier
stack).
- Modifiers are statically evaluated: any possible time dependency
in the modifiers is not supported (don't know enough about
modifiers to be more specific).
- Modifiers are reevaluated if the underlying mesh is deformed
due to shape action or armature action. Beware that this is
very CPU intensive; modifiers should really be used for static
objects only.
- Physics is still based on the original mesh: if you have a
mirror modifier, the physic shape will be limited to one half
of the resulting object. Therefore, the modifiers should
preferably be used on graphic objects.
- Scripts have no access to the modified mesh.
- Modifiers that are based on objects interaction (boolean,..)
will not be dependent on the objects position in the GE.
What you see in the 3D view is what you get in the GE regardless
on the object position, velocity, etc.
Besides that, the feature is compatible with all the BGE features
that affect meshes: armature action, shape action, relace mesh,
VideoTexture, add object, dupligroup.
Known problems:
- This feature is a bit hacky: the BGE uses the derived mesh draw
functions to display the object. This drawing method is a
bit slow and is not 100% compatible with the BGE. There may
be some problems in multi-texture mode: the multi-texture
coordinates are not sent to the GPU.
Texface and GLSL on the other hand should be fully supported.
- Culling is still based on the extend of the original mesh.
If you have a modifer that extends the size of the mesh,
the object may disappear while still in the view frustrum.
- Derived mesh is not shared between replicas.
The derived mesh is allocated and computed for each object
with modifiers, regardless if they are static replicas.
- Display list are not created on objects with modifiers.
I should be able to fix the above problems before release.
However, the feature is already useful for game development.
Once you are ready to release the game, you can apply the modifiers
to get back display list support and mesh sharing capability.
MSVC, scons, Cmake, makefile updated.

- Removed the gen_utils.c dependency from Mathutils (since gen_utils wont go into 2.5 but mathutils will), repalced with python functions.
- removed Blender.Mathutils.Point, since it was not documented, the C api never used it, none of our scripts used it (and I never saw a script that used it).
