bge.logic.setRender(flag) to enable/disable render.
The render pass is enabled by default but it can be disabled with
bge.logic.setRender(False).
Once disabled, the render pass is skipped and a new logic frame starts
immediately. Note that VSync no longer limits the fps when render is off
but the 'Use Frame Rate' option in the Render Properties still does.
To run as many frames as possible, untick the option
This function is useful when you don't need the default render, e.g.
when doing offscreen render to an alternate device than the monitor.
Note that without VSync, you must limit the frame rate by other means.
fbo = bge.render.offScreenCreate(width,height,[,samples=0][,target=bge.render.RAS_OFS_RENDER_BUFFER])
Use this method to create an offscreen buffer of given size, with given MSAA
samples and targetting either a render buffer (bge.render.RAS_OFS_RENDER_BUFFER)
or a texture (bge.render.RAS_OFS_RENDER_TEXTURE). Use the former if you want to
retrieve the frame buffer on the host and the latter if you want to pass the render
to another context (texture are proper OGL object, render buffers aren't)
The object created by this function can only be used as a parameter of the
bge.texture.ImageRender() constructor to send the the render to the FBO rather
than to the frame buffer. This is best suited when you want to create a render
of specific size, or if you need an image with an alpha channel.
bge.texture.<imagetype>.refresh(buffer=None, format="RGBA", ts=-1.0)
Without arg, the refresh method of the image objects is pretty much a no-op, it
simply invalidates the image so that on next texture refresh, the image will
be recalculated.
It is now possible to pass an optional buffer object to transfer the image (and
recalculate it if it was invalid) to an external object. The object must implement
the 'buffer protocol'. The image will be transfered as "RGBA" or "BGRA" pixels
depending on format argument (only those 2 formats are supported) and ts is an
optional timestamp in the image depends on it (e.g. VideoFFmpeg playing a video file).
With this function you don't need anymore to link the image object to a Texture
object to use: the image object is self-sufficient.
bge.texture.ImageRender(scene, camera, fbo=None)
Render to buffer is possible by passing a FBO object (see offScreenCreate).
bge.texture.ImageRender.render()
Allows asynchronous render: call this method to render the scene but without
extracting the pixels yet. The function returns as soon as the render commands
have been send to the GPU. The render will proceed asynchronously in the GPU
while the host can perform other tasks.
To complete the render, you can either call refresh() directly of refresh the texture
to which this object is the source. Asynchronous render is useful to achieve optimal
performance: call render() on frame N and refresh() on frame N+1 to give as much as
time as possible to the GPU to render the frame while the game engine can perform other tasks.
Support negative scale on camera.
Camera scale was previously ignored in the BGE.
It is now injected in the modelview matrix as a vertical or horizontal flip
of the scene (respectively if scaleY<0 and scaleX<0).
Note that the actual value of the scale is not used, only the sign.
This allows to flip the image produced by ImageRender() without any performance
degradation: the flip is integrated in the render itself.
Optimized image transfer from ImageRender to buffer.
Previously, images that were transferred to the host were always going through
buffers in VideoTexture. It is now possible to transfer ImageRender
images to external buffer without intermediate copy (i.e. directly from OGL to buffer)
if the attributes of the ImageRender objects are set as follow:
flip=False, alpha=True, scale=False, depth=False, zbuff=False.
(if you need to flip the image, use camera negative scale)
Use float in moto instead of double for MT_Scalar.
This switch allow future optimization like SSE.
Additionally, it changes the OpenGL calls to float versions as they are
very bad with doubles.

This is related to Task T34861 to increase up & track axis options for TrackTo actuator. I've just added it to differential to facilitate an easier review.
With the patch applied you can select X, Y and Z axis for the Up axis, and X, Y, Z, -X, -Y and -Z for the track axis.
Related to the implementation I have used the algorithm from Trackto constrain placed in constrain.c but adapted to be used with MOTO library.
The wiki docs are here (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Lordloki/Doc:2.6/Manual/Game_Engine/Logic/Actuators/Edit_Object#Trackto_Actuator).

Any 3x3 or 4x4 rna matrix will automatically be returned as a Mathutils matrix.
This makes useful stuff like multiplying a vector location by an object matrix possible.
ob = bpy.data.scenes[0].objects[0]
print (ob.data.verts[0].co * ob.matrix)
Also added mathutils matrix types to the BGE GameObject.localOrientation, worldOrientation
* MT_Matrix3x3 added getValue3x3 and setValue3x3, assumed a 4x3 float array.
* KX_GameObject.cpp convenience functions NodeSetGlobalOrientation, NodeGetLocalOrientation, NodeGetLocalScaling, NodeGetLocalPosition.
* 2.5 python api now initializes modules BGL, Mathutils and Geometry
* modules py3 PyModuleDef's use PyModuleDef_HEAD_INIT, rather then {}, was making msvc fail to build.
* added macros for Vector_ReadCallback, Vector_WriteCallback etc. to check if the callback pointer is set before calling the function.
the features that are needed to run the game. Compile tested with
scons, make, but not cmake, that seems to have an issue not related
to these changes. The changes include:
* GLSL support in the viewport and game engine, enable in the game
menu in textured draw mode.
* Synced and merged part of the duplicated blender and gameengine/
gameplayer drawing code.
* Further refactoring of game engine drawing code, especially mesh
storage changed a lot.
* Optimizations in game engine armatures to avoid recomputations.
* A python function to get the framerate estimate in game.
* An option take object color into account in materials.
* An option to restrict shadow casters to a lamp's layers.
* Increase from 10 to 18 texture slots for materials, lamps, word.
An extra texture slot shows up once the last slot is used.
* Memory limit for undo, not enabled by default yet because it
needs the .B.blend to be changed.
* Multiple undo for image painting.
* An offset for dupligroups, so not all objects in a group have to
be at the origin.
=============================
* Clean up and optimizations in skinned/deformed mesh code.
* Compatibility fixes and clean up in the rasterizer.
* Changes related to GLSL shadow buffers which should have no
effect, to keep the code in sync with apricot.
1. All Ipo channels are now independent.
In Blender 2.45, all 3 Loc Ipo channels were automatically set
together. For example, having just a LocX Ipo channel was sufficient
to fix the X, Y and Z coordinates, with the Y and Z value taken
from the object original Y and Z location in Blender. The same
was true for the 3 Rot and the 3 Scale Ipo channels: the missing
channels were assumed to have constant value taken from the object
original orientation/scale in Blender.
With this patch, all Ipo channels are now independent.
THIS WILL CREATE BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY PROBLEM if you omit to
define the 3 channels of a same type together in your Blend file:
the undefined Loc, Rot, Scale coordinates of the object will
be influenced by the parent/spawner Loc/Rot/Scale in case the
object is a child or dynamically created.
2. Delta Loc, Rot, Scale are now supported with the following
limitations:
- The delta Loc/Rot Ipo modify the object global (NOT local)
location/orientation
- The delta Scale change the object local scale
- The delta Ipo curves are relative to the object starting
Loc/Rot/Scale when the Ipo was first activated; after that, the
delta Ipo becomes global. This means that the object will return
to this initial Loc/Rot/Scale when you later restart the Ipo
curve, even if you had changed the object Loc/Rot/Scale in the
meantime. Of course this applies only to the specific Loc/Rot/Scale
coordinate that are defined in the Ipo channels as the channels
are now independent.
3. When the objects are converted from Blender to the BGE, the
delta Loc/Rot/Scale that might result from initial non-zero values
in delta Ipo Curves will be ignored. However, as soon as the
delta Ipo curve is activated, the non-zero values will be taken
into account and the object will jump to the same Loc/Rot/Scale
situation as in Blender. Note that delta Ipo curves with initial
non-zero values is bad practice; logically, a delta Ipo curver
should always start from 0.
4. If you define both a global and delta channel of the same
type (LocX and DLocX), the result will be a global channel equivalent
to the sum of the two channels (LocX+DLocX).

Merge with latest soc code.
What changed in IK lib:
Fully restructured, with components now as follows:
- IK_Solver: C <=> C++ interface
- IK_QSegment: base class for bone/segment with 0
to 3 DOF
- IK_QTask: base class for a task (currently there's
a position and a rotation task)
- IK_QJacobian: the Jacobian matrix, with SVD
decomposition, damping, etc
- IK_QJacobianSolver: the iterative solver
The exponential map parametrization is no longer used,
instead we have now:
- 3DOF and 2DOF XZ segments: directly update matrix
with Rodrigues' formula
- Other: Euler angles (no worries about singularities
here)
Computation of the Jacobian inverse has also changed:
- The SVD algorithm is now based on LAPACK code,
instead of NR, to avoid some problems with rounding
errors.
- When the problem is underconstrained (as is the case
most of the time), the SVD is computed for the transpose
of the Jacobian (faster).
- A new damping algorithm called the Selectively Damped
Least Squares is used, result in faster and more
stable convergence.
- Stiffness is implemented as if a weighted psuedo-inverse
was used.
Tree structure support.
Rotation limits:
- 3DOF and 2DOF XZ segments limits are based on a swing
(direct axis-angle over XZ) and twist/roll (rotation
over Y) decomposition. The swing region is an ellipse
on a sphere.
- Rotation limits are implemented using an inner clamping
loop: as long as there is a violation, a violating DOF
is clamped and removed from the Jacobian, and the solution
is recomputed.
Convergence checking is based now on the max norm of angle
change, or the maximum number of iterations.

Solves bug #2598, which crashed blender on using non-manifold meshes with
decimator.
I got rid of a few warnings about blah shadows a previous declaration.
In the gameengine files I fix the following:
removed some unused vars
removed dos style line breaks
added newlines to last line in a couple of files to remove warnings.

It will attempt to break into the debugger instead of aborting the program. On Windows you have a nice MessageBox function, so you can choose to break, ignore, or permanently ignore the assert.
Floating point imprecision made MT_Quaternion::angle return NaN, since acos(x) is NaN for |x| > 1.
Because of the way NaN's propagate through float math, the view pos would be set to [NaN, NaN, NaN] resulting in a grey screen.
So now by default, assert is not used in moto code.
If you want to use assert (and stop blender if one fail),
define MT_DEBUG.
solve bug #1292 and better fix for #1260
I took out the following from the includes in the intern dir that still had
it:
