Does not have any effect for current registerable types (Operator, Menu, Panel, etc.), since none of those actually have a base struct, but will be required for future types with an actual hierarchy (custom nodes).
Vector.dot() was always leaking memory, and would crash if args sizes didnt match.
These errors were introduced with n-dimensional vector support.
also fixed an error with bmesh py api allocation.
Blender's import function check's the Text datablocks in main for additional modules for importing. However, libloaded scenes were 1) not loading Text datablocks and 2) not letting bpy know about them. Text datablocks are now loaded if a Scene is loaded and bpy can now looking through extra Mains to find additional modules.
Problem was in fact that non-linear-contiguous axis assignement was broken (i.e. location.xy would work as expected, but location.xz would only affect .x part)... Now all possibilities should work fine.
Did not try to fix the problem specific to obj.dimension (when assigning multiple times to this array, only the last one is taken into account - in fact, a simple print() shows that assigning to dimension is not taken into account immediately), not sure whether this is normal behavior, or if we need a specific "update" of some kind for this prop?
===============================================
This patch adds a new "Character" BGE physics type which uses Bullet's btKinematicCharacter for simulation instead of full-blown dynamics. It is appropiate for (player-controlled) characters, for which the other physics types often result unexpected results (bouncing off walls, sliding etc.) and for which simple kinematics offers much more precision.
"Character" can be chosen like any other physics type in the "Physics" section of the properties window. Current settings for tweaking are "Step Height" (to make the object automatically climb small steps if it collides with them), "Fall Speed" (the maximum speed that the object can have when falling) and "Jump Speed", which is currently not used.
See http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=127&aid=28476&group_id=9
for sample blends and a discussion on the patch: how to use it and what influences the behavior of the character object.
Known problem: there is a crash if the "compound" option is set in the physics panel of the Character object.
