This would cause a very tiny inconvenience where ndof transform wouldn't work if there wasn't an active object (so, only a problem after you delete something and then select objects without setting active).
[#8067] external texture plugin thread-safe modifications
Submitted By: David Anderson (davywavy)
It makes it so the "result" array is passed in, instead of a global var.
I expanded the patch so it will play nice with older plugins that are not
thread safe as well.
I also updated the existing plugins in the release, so they are thread safe.
--------------- What do people think of this.... ------------------
This should maybe be talked about in the functionality board or something,
but what do people think of adding in default texture/sequence plugins.
or making a seperate tree like lib for plugins.
The reason I ask is we have had a couple of upgrades to the plugin system.
(supporting float buffers for sequencer, and this one for textures)
http://www.cs.umn.edu/~mein/blender/plugins does not store revisions of
plugins I just make sure they work with the latest version. This is
getting messy. I haven't upgraded a lot of them to use floats (I know,
I'm lazy, and now this will also make modifications to the plugins)
It would be nice to have some of the standard ones under revision control.
We also seem to be having an explosion of platforms supported. It would
be nice to have platform maintainers compiling plugins as well for releases.
(Its getting to be more work for me to keep up with things...)
I'll go back to my corner now and be quite. ;)

[#7113] GE crash pressing as soon as P on 64 bit
Note: glext.h has been removed from the source
If you get errors compiling with it you have 2 options
download/install glext.h (preferred method)
or set WITH_BF_GLEXT=false
If your a user and having problems with game engine try
setting the env var: WITHOUT_GLEXT 1

It is now possible for Action Channels to be displayed using the colour of its group. The colour for an Action Group is only set when it is auto-created by keyframing (controls to tweak this may/may-not be added, time permitting).
To enable the display of these colours, the View -> 'Use Group Colors' must be enabled. However, this is disabled by default.
Unfortunately, my previous fixes here to get gears working resulted in this problem. The flip side of that was that gears worked for quite a few cases.
Alas, it is not to be... The bug is now fixed, but gears no longer work any more. Sadly, there is not much I can do about this.

The old code trys to do a sscanf %s %d %s %d from a line in the
image file.
Now it copies over that line to a max buffer of size 540 chars before doing
the sscanf.
(I just picked a constant that was siginficatly large)
It also checks to see if it gets all 4 values if not return NULL.

This bug fix is made of two parts:
1) It's now possible to dynamically add a camera.
2) Empty camera name on a SetCamera actuator now points to the actuator's parent object if this object is a camera.
This trick is useful to make current a dynamically created camera: just add a SetCamera actuator on the camera itself and leave the name empty. Later, when the camera is added in the scene with an AddObject actuator, either directly or via a parent object, you just need to activate the actuator to make the newly created camera current. If you set a name on a SetCamera actuator, it will always point to the original camera, even after replication.
working correct with translucency. Removed a check that presumably
is an optimization, but can't work correct and also gives no noticable
performance difference in my tests.
computers, probably due to slow multithreaded malloc. Now each render
thread keeps a list of qmc samplers that it fills as needed while
rendering (since it is hard to predict the actual amount needed in
advance due to ray recursion).
