As discussed on the opensim-dev mailing list, this is to avoid a demonstrated ODE collider segfault when stress-testing a simulator running more than one region using the bundled pCampbot.exe
As before, the ODE revision used is r1755 - only the collider has changed.
Tests so far reveal little performance change.
However, if noticeable issues do arise, please report on mantis and/or the opensim-dev mailing list.
The previous libraries are temporarily in bin/Physics-previous-ode-libs
These can be copied back to bin if one wants to compare behaviour with the previous libraries.
* Mac users, pray to chi11ken to make you a .dylib version
* This is semi-tuned and post teravus hack. (Though I didn't apply the terrain pitting fix hack. I'm still deciding if it's necessary as there was a lot of work over the past several months on the heightfield collider.
* Please use '--enable-shared --disable-demos --disable-asserts' if you are building your own libode in the configure step. Asserts are pretty much useless for use with .NET
* This also updates ODE.NET as, there were some API changes in May that were just added to ODE.NET today.
* If you compile your own libraries, be sure to follow the updated directions on http://opensimulator.org/wiki/PhysicsEngines
* The previous libs are now -debug for people who wish to work on the ODELibrary and want the feedback.
* Updated the ode.dll for windows with a more reasonable stack space reserve. Linux users will need to type ulimit -s 262144 before starting up OpenSimulator if using Physical Prim to protect against stack collisions. or run the included ./bin/opensim-ode.sh to start up OpenSimulator in ODE mode.
* Added internal collision score and am keeping track of 'high usage' prim.
* Tweaked collisions some more
* Tested up to 460 physical prim in extremely close quarters (which was previously impossible in OpenSim). After 460 in tight quarters, physics slows down enough to make it hard to do any moving, however.. non physics things still work, such as logging on to the simulator, etc.
* Added a ThrottleUpdates member to PhysicsActor to expose 'throttle' ability to the Scene.
* Updated the ode.dll file with a fix to invalid data passed to ODE's heightfield collision calculator.
