This is related to task T29419. Credit also goes to Goran Milovanovic
(goran) for proposing an initial fix for this issue.
The issue is the current behavior of applyImpulse doesn't match the behavior
described in the documentation as instead of a impulse point in world coordinates,
it seems to require a coordinate in a local space.
Additionally, applyImpulse function isn't consistent with similar functions (applyForce, applyTorque, etc)
as it doesn't allow to choose in which space (local or global) the impulse is applied.
Now, we have the following function:
applyImpulse(point, impulse, local=False)
being "point" the point to apply the impulse to (in world or local coordinates). When local is False will
have both point and impulse in World space and when local is True will have point and impulse in local space.

Disclaimer: The author of this patch is Geoffrey Gollmer (gomer). I only updated the patch to the current git master status, reworked several parts to fit well with current coding style and applied several fixes.
This actuator allows users to show/hide the mouse cursor using logic bricks, as well as control object rotation with a mouse in the BGE.
The mouse rotation is flexible enough to allow any type of mouse look, as well as banking for flight controls.

Current temporary data of Blender suffers one major issue - default 'temp' dir on Windows is never
automatically cleaned up, and can end being quite big when used by Blender, especially when we have
to store per-process data (using getpid() in file names).
To address this, this patch:
* Divides tempdir paths in two, one for 'base' temp dir (the same as previous unique tempdir path),
the other is a mkdtemp-generated sub-dir, specific to each Blender instance.
* Only uses base tempdir when we need some shallow persistance accross Blender sessions - and we always
reuse the same filename (quit.blend...) or generate small file (crash reports...).
* Uses temp sub-dir for heavy files like pointcache or renderEXRs (Save Buffer option).
* Erases temp sub-dir on quit or crash.
To get this working it also adds a working 'recursive delete' to BLI_delete() under Windows.
Note that, as in current code, the 'recover render result' hack-feature that was possible
with SaveBuffer option is still removed. A real renderresult cache feature will be added
soon, though.

The replace mesh actuator was reconverting the mesh data which causes
conflicts with the LoD code. Instead, we just look for an already
converted mesh, which should already be in the scene.
Using layer visibility in active render layer makes more accurate
preview but can cause problems in some cases:

GLSL lamps now ignore layer visibility if lock_camera_and_layers is
OFF or game engine is running. The material lamp group still works
unconditionally though.
Due to skinning changes for multi-threaded animations, the LOD check was
being done after skinning. Now the LOD check is run before animations.
This means the culling information is a frame old, but this should be
fine.
This information only really seems to be for helping developers track
down bugs, and isn't really something the user needs. So, lets not spam
their console.
The Bullet 2.82 update uses a different method for ray casting that
seems incompatible with our older files. So, for now we just force the
vehicle physics to use the older ray casting method.
The shadow render passes could set a mesh's modified status to false
even if they were not rendered. This means their display lists do not
get updated. For now, just skip setting all buckets' modified to false
during shadow render passes.
This patch removes the limitations on the number of action layers in the BGE.
BL_ActionManager currently uses a fixed array to keep track of the action layers. This patch replaces the fixed array with a map which allows for dynamic allocation of action layers. Layers (map items) are automatically removed on BL_ActionManager's update function. The maximum number of layers is roughly the value of a short. Backwards functionality is maintained and there are no changes to the Python API.

Updating object IPOs is not currently thread-safe since it also updates
children. This leads to problems when parents and children are both
animated. For now, updating object IPOs is done in its own loop to avoid
threading issues.
I'm not sure why this function ever increased the object's refcount. Any
place in the code that calls KX_GameObject::GetParent() has to turn
around and call parent->Release(). Forgetting to call Release() was a
common cause of memory leaks (in fact, KX_SteeringActuator was probably
leaking). If the refcount needs to be increased, the calling code can
handle calling AddRef().
