Release notes version 0.2.1

Profile render queries

A option named Show Render Queries is implemented to display three render query: samples passed query, primitves passed and time passed. The UI is near to profiler option:

When enabled the text displayed looks like:

Multiple physics constraint solvers

The user is now able to select the physics constraint solver, the default solver was and is sequential solver. Four different solvers are available, the solver selection is in Scene panel:

The user must deeply test physics constraint solver before using it as default.

Soft body iteration limitation

The soft body position and cluster iteration are now not limited to small value but to 1000 for both.

Soft body bending constraint distance

Soft body bending constraint option helps to rigidify soft bodies, a second option named Bending Distance indicate the distance of the constraint used to rigidify the body, larger is this value rigid is the body.

The UI option looks as follow:

Python functions keywords

Python functions in KX_GameObject using more than two optional arguments are now converted to use keyword arguments. In example the user can type:

obj.rayCast(objto="Target", dist=100, mask=0xFF00)

Instead typing all the arguments until the last used.
