This information only really seems to be for helping developers track

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.

* Moving the BlenderDebugDraw (derived from btIDebugDraw) from
KX_BlenderSceneConverter to CcdPhysicsEnvironment
* Moving CcdPhysicsEnvironment initialization to CcdPhysicsEnvironment
(this could probably be cleaned up some more with some sort of
factory, or at least moving code to CcdPhysicsEnvironment's
constructor)
* Simplifying physics environment initialization (went from two
switches to one)
Also refactor:
- Material property UI related to shadows
- Preparation of OR-ed mode flags (ma->mode_l) of render materials

These were used in BL_CreatePhysicsObjectNew() in the converter. However, all
of the data put into KX_ObjectProperties was then copied again in
KX_ConvertBulletObject(). So, instead KX_ConvertBulletObject() now gathers the
information it needs itself, which avoid this odd double conversion step for
physics.
As a side-effect, the old code would result in static non-mesh objects with no bounds
set to still have triangle mesh bounds. This would result in no bounds for these objects.
If a bounds was set that required a mesh, non-mesh objects would become sphere bounds.
This is now true regardless of whether user bounds were set. In other words, static
non-mesh objects now use sphere bounds by default instead of mesh bounds. This might
slightly alter some games, but these objects should generally be set to No Collision
anyways.
This change introduces a new checkbox to deactivate the sensors, controllers and/or actuators. It is useful during the development phase to avoid delete sensors, controllers or actuators if you want to test something new.
NOC: The wiki page is being updated (the images mostly), but the feature is already in the 2.71 release log.

There was some deadlock due to trying manage Python's GIL. Instead of
continuing to fight with it, anything needing to call into Python while
conversion during lib loading is just delayed until it can be done in
the main thread.
Our deformer system really needs some work. First, there was a crash
with shape keys because BL_ModifierDeformer derives from
BL_ShapeDeformer, which means we try to execute shape keys even if we do
not have them. Also, for some reason BL_ModifierDeformer::Update() does
not work if called from the threaded loop, so it is skipped for now. In
other words, skinned updates on meshes with modifiers are currently not
run in parallel.
This required BL_ArmatureObject to have tighter control over armatures and poses.
Also, (Blender) armature objects are now copied instead of shared between
BL_ArmatureObjects to avoid race conditions. Also, due to the armature copy,
shape key drivers need a bit of extra fiddling to get the correct armature copy.
Initially OpenMP was used for threading, but then BLI_task was used due to being
less compiler dependent.
This commit also places time spent on skinning updates in the Animation
profiler category (was previously under the Rasterizer category).
The ultimate goal is to only allow the rasterizer to handle OpenGL and bf_gpu
calls. This commit creates a RAS_ILightObject interface and a RAS_OpenGLLight
implementation.
These types of meshes do not use material caching, and thus only the first created
material would be saved, but subsequent ones were not. Those subsequent materials
were then not being freed. Now we make sure to track all of the materials.
Note: Meshes that cannot make use of material caching (no materials or using face textures)
can still use up a large amount of RAM since a material is created per face.
If bge.logic.addScene() could not find the scene to add it would add the
first scene again, which is just silly. Now, if no scene is found, a warning
is printed and nothing is added.
Non-camera objects are not supported as cameras, and trying to use them
just causes memory errors (some bad typecasts are involved). When converting
a Scene Actuator, only use the object as a camera if it is actually a camera.
Also, the logic brick UI now filters for camera objects, which should help
avoid confusion.
The "Cast Shadows" worked as expected, but it can cause problem in some cases.
For example, when using strand render, we need disabling only buffer shadows,
but the previous changes made that impossible. "Cast Shadows" should be added
as a newly created option.
Since threaded object update we've disabled in-place
curve evaluation (in cases when applying curve modifier
with target curve non-evaluated yet).
This requires game engine to take care of DAG and object
evaluation (currently it's designed to export only objects
it able to render).
This workaround will make sure that curve_cache for curves
is up-to-date.
This allows us to make materials that don't cast ray shadows.
Turning off this property can reduce the rendering time slightly.
Note: RNA path is changed to "use_cast_shadows" as well. The older
path "use_cast_buffer_shadows" still can be used as its alias, but
it will be removed after updating some addons.

Previously this only worked for some datablocks relevant to rendering, now it
can be used to detect if any type of datablock was added or removed (but not
yet to detect if it was modified, we need many more depsgraph tags for that).
Most of the changes are some function parameter changes, the important parts
are the DAG_id_type_tag calls.

Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.
