original name: "Allow to change the strenght of the "go behind" constraint of the camera actuator"
The camera actuator is an actuator that drive the camera to follow an object, with a set of constraint.
Currently, when the object followed rotate on himself (like a person, or an helicopter), the camera is really slow to go behind (at least 10 seconds).
This patch gives the UI to tweak the strenght of the 'go behind'[named damping] constraint.

epydocs (rst) updated too
I still would love to see a change in the action actuators (Action, Shape and FCurve) even if only a rename or unifying them in a single actuator (I do have some patch for that). Anyways
the old FH setting was blended with the other physics settings (friction and elastic)
Also in the Physics panel it was saying "Use Material Physics" but the button is only for Force Field.
Since I was here I decided to change the Constraint FH ui name from Fh to Force. I don't think users really understand what FH is (I for once don't).
Thanks to Carsten Wartmann for pointing that out.
after discussion over the mailing-list it seems that it really makes no sense to restrict that. Specially since we have the "Property" playback mode that usually will be a float.
Since there is no need for do_version or whatoever I don't see a problem. Any Thoughts? Maube to allow it only through the Python API?
- Armature Actuator now only shows the "Secondary Target" option when the Bone Constraint supports it (IK only now).
-- that may be overkill I don't know. It shouldn't slow down the UI considerably, so it should be fine. Easy to revert if needed though.
- renaming things such as "Start frame" to "Start Frame"
1) damping factor is not percentage (it's in frames, who would know that)
2) angles as degrees (cleaning the tooltips for those too)
3) setting Direction to None when changing from Loc and Fh Consts to Ori - negative axis is not supported in Ori Const. Buggy since ever (2.49).
In 2.49 we had this implemented in the logic_windows.c. I think I skipped this when porting the new UI. I probably didn't know how to do it back then or was waiting for something. Anyhoo, it's all good now.
For the records, the Logic Bricks that I haven't gone over to make sure everything is 100% are:
Filter 2D, Constraints and Animation (action, shapekey, fcurve)
I'm going over them this week, so the Logic Bricks are close to receive a "revisited review check-up" ISO 9000 :)
ParentActuator: sub options only available when mode==setParent + deactive ghost option when compound is true (isntead of saying that in the tooltip)
PropertyActuator: I never knew that you could pass a property name to the Add and Assign options of the Property Actuator. Where it's by design or a side effect is cool. And a tooltip explaining that does help.
* fix for armature sensor (Status Changed doesn't use any value to evaluate itself) + renamed "Test Type" to "Test"
* visibility tooltip was wrong - now we can change visibility from the physic buttons instead of the outliner
* bonus * when you change the visibility from the physics panel the icon in the outliner wasn't changing
- disable instead hiding UI checkbox for facing_axis and normal_up parameters of steering actuator
- fit rna names to the name convention for steering actuator and recast data structures
Rough summary of fixes/changes:
- Blender Py API: GameLogic -> bge.logic
- Blender Py API: Implemented missing KX_PYATTRIBUTE_TODOs and -DUMMYs.
- Fix for [#22924] KX_PolygonMaterial.diffuse does not return expected list[r,g,b]
- Py API: Renaming _owner attribute of mathutils classes to owner.
- Fix some minor errors in mathutils and blf.
- Enabling game engine autoplay again based on a patch by Dalai:
* The biggest 3D view in the open scene is used, if there is none, blender opens the file normally and raises an error.
* The 3D view are is made fullscreen.
* Quad view, header, properties and toolbox panel are all hidden to get the maximum view.
* If the game engine full screen setting is set, the game starts in fullscreen.
- Fix for ipo conversion on file transition in the game engine.
