Added split impulse & number of constraint solver iteration attributes to PhysicsWorld. Split impulse gives more accurate collision detection but is disabled by default for better performance.
Fixed File::GetChecksum() logging numerous errors if file open in write mode. This prevented AssetImporter scene mode from working properly.
Fixed DocConverter asserting in debug mode. Added safe IsAlpha() & IsDigit() functions to StringUtils and exposed them to script.
Added Extras directory for contributions which are not strictly Urho3D core.
Added OgreBatchConverter utility from Carlo Carollo, modified to use Urho3D classes to be crossplatform compatible.
Changes:
I. Build environment
1. Added new cmake definition to disable/enable Log subsystem in main's CMakeLists.txt.
2. Added setting in main's CMakeLists.txt to pass the "-D_DEBUG" compiler flags for Debug configuration build on non-MSVC compiler. At least it is needed on XCode to get verbose debug log. I assume MSVC does not have this problem.
3. Added '../Engine. to include directories in Input's CMakeLists.txt to allow Input to reference Engine class for handling of SDL_QUIT event (see V.5 and VII.1).
4. Changed cmake_gcc.sh to sed Doxyfile to exclude Direct3D9 and include OpenGL variants of the classes, assuming gcc is only for Mac OS X and Linux.
5. Changed cmake_ios.sh to sed Doxyfile to exclude Direct3D9 and include OpenGL variants of the classes.
6. Added new cmake_macosx.sh shell script to prepare cmake for Xcode in Mac OS X environment.
7. Updated Docs/Reference.dox to correct the URL to AMD's Compressonator.
8. Updated Docs/ScriptAPI.dox to reflect API changes in UI.
9. Added *.sh scripts in the Bin folder to invoke the respective demos.
II. Audio
1. Minor refactoring on Audio class: removed redundant header include, removed redundant call.
2. Corrected minor documentation typo error in Sound.h.
III. Container
1. HashMap minor optimisation: operator [] implementation would not traverse the container twice before node insertion, refactored Clear() and Sort() implementation, changed to static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast, etc.
2. HashSet minor optimisation: refactored Clear() and Sort() implementation, changed to static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast, etc.
3. List minor optimisation: refactored Clear() implementation and changed to static_cast instead of reinterpret_cast.
4. Corrected documentation error for operator > in Pair class.
5. Added new Contains() methods and renamed Print()/PrintArgs() to AppendWithFormat()/AppendWithFormatArgs (while they are still new :-) in String class. Added ToString() global function in StringUtils class to take advantage of new append methods (useful in constructing a formatted string for logging in one liner; becomes no-ops when logging not enabled).
6. Added new Remove() method in Vector and PODVector classes.
IV. Core
1. Enhanced ProcessUtils class to add native approach to detect number of Physical and Logical CPUs for iOS platform.
BUG FIX: Previous ParseArguments(int, char**) implementation assumed there were no space in the pathname which causes parsing error when it does. Fixed by enclosed the argument in quotes before appending into command line. With this fix, Ninja War demo is runable in iPhoneSimulator.
2. In StringUtils added new convenient global function to construct a formatted string, see III.6.
3. In Variant added MAX_VAR_TYPES enum for guarding a while loop.
V. Engine

4. Refactored DebugHUD class to use the String's new append method instead of a series of strings concatenation.
5. Enhanced Engine class to make Logging an optional feature that can be turned on/off like Profiler subsystem (see I.1), only unpause the audio when it was pause by the Engine previously, no need to check for uninitialized graphics due to window was closed (see VII.1) as engine's exiting_ flag should be set when SDL quits (even by quitting the process externally).
6. GraphicsAPI minor optimisation: Add call to reserve vector to the required known size.
7. Enhanced IOAPI to add preprocessor directive to no-ops the logging functions when Logging not enabled, see I.1.

11. Refactored Material class to set or unset the specular_ flag without traversing the shader parameters each time.
12. Refactored Model class: added call to reserve container capacity, removed redundant call to set the number of vertex buffer to 1 (which is Geometry's default).
13. Modified OcclusionBuffer Clear() method to use post decrement.

3. SDL: Changed XCODE_DEBUG_CONFIGURATION to _DEBUG in SDL_uikitappdelegate.m, see VIII.2.
BUG FIX: The touch focus was always zero causing the touch event from touchpad in Mac OS X platform was not handled correctly by Input class because the GetInputInstance() method returns 0 when windowID is 0. Assign the touch's focus with current focus window ID. NOT SURE THIS IS THE CORRECT FIX THOUGH.
XVII. Demos
1. BUG FIX: TestScene.as and TestSceneOld.as assert in the btAlignedObjectArray.h. It was caused by the script trying to remove the RigidBody and/or CollisionShape while in the middle of physics collision event handling. The Bullet's assert could be observed when build using _DEBUG. Fixed by postponinig the removal to post step.
2. Enhanced the NinjaSnowWar to support no-background-music (nobgm) option.
BUG FIX: BGM was purposely not played on multiplayer mode assuming testing is done on a same test machine, however, this has caused the BGM not to be played on the genuinue multiplayer mode using different machines. Re-enable BGM on multiplayer mode. Instead, added comments in the demo shell/batch script on how to avoid multiple BGM played on a same test machine.
Do not draw debug geometry for bones that do not contribute to skinning.
Activate input immediately after title bar drag (Windows) or when the cursor is moved into the client area after title bar drag (Mac & Linux).
Removed link time code generation from the release build as it greatly increases compile time, but does not seem to provide observable performance benefit.

Fixed missing sound type enum in the editor. Added Ambient sound type.
Fixed incorrect occlusion when a drawable is set for no occlusion, but the parent octant is occluded.
Removed unnecessary node lookup in network replication.
Added GetScene() to Component for convenience.
Find the zone at far clip plane and use it for the background color.

When zone moves or changes its bounding box, clear the cached zone from all drawables that were inside.
Optimized shaders to do more work in the vertex shader.
Deferred rendering removed, at least for now.
Switched to RGB normal maps, with specular intensity in the alpha channel. Removed NormalMapTool.

Guard against cyclic parent-child assignments in Node & UIElement.
Fixed deletion of object, if no shared pointer to it existed previously, and it sent an event.
Fixed threading issue with objects' static type names. Now they are defined inside OBJECTTYPESTATIC macro as well.
Fixed Engine crash when running without the script system.
Documentation update.
Moved Engine scripting initialization to a separate function. This will result in significantly smaller executable if skipped.
Fixed ErrorDialog() when called from script.
