Until last summer we sorted by object origin to camera distance
Since then we used nearest transformed bbox-extent to camera.
I've now added an enum to allow switching those plus 2 new:
- none (so sorting based on scenegraph instead)
- object center to camera. Which I made the new default as it worked the best in my tests.
I already experimented with a few more ones like different sphere sizes (bbox radius, minimal inbound radius, maximal inbound radius) around center or origin to handle objects with different sizes, but that just gave worse results for all my test cases.
Likely algorithms we should still try:
- Collision point with bounding-box in line between camera and object center (sounds a bit slow, but maybe worth it)
- Distance to camera plane (instead of camera position). But needs additional parameter to distance functions first (maybe normalized view vector will do). That should be useful when working with planar objects.

A bit annoying that it kinda has the opposite meaning for png and jpg compression for same parameter (png compression goes up, jpg goes down).
Also unfortunate we chose u32 instead of int here or we could at least use the usual zlib value range for png.
But I think it still won't mess up in many cases. Defaults (value 0) stay the same as before.
And setting a jpg range <= 10 is rarely done and even if so it just changes png sizes a bit now if people use writer for both.
People just have to be careful now when they override defaults for png and then also write jpg - but can't help it.
And it's too useful to not have this - this can massively change the write-speed for png's (like up to 3 times faster with no compression on my system).

Different UserData values are no longer by default causing materials to be different.
It now always checks in this case the IUserData != operator.
This allows more user control. Can still have them be different by checking pointers in overloaded compare function.

This can't work as on deserialize it would need to have the type for IUserData already.
And that's impossible with the way it's used right now.
Would need some kind of factory or so probably, but I'll ignore this for now.
Note that it's still possible to call some serialization manually on the derived classes by adding it there if needed.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6568 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475
Irrlicht generally avoided user pointers in the past, but after trying all kind of ugly workarounds - this is just easier and
not that much downsides really. Tiny speed costs due to additional SMaterial memory size and new comparison tests.
But allows to keep SMaterial alive and useful for a while longer without needing a complete rewrite and it can now be used for stuff like writing PBR shaders.
Using a new interface io::IUserData for this which also allows serialization the user data (that part is untested so far, sorry)

LensShift got added recently.
Also there was some change in PolygonOffsetDirection longer ago (although that one didn't cause tests to fail)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6566 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475
As Blender docs describe it so nicely: Using lens shift is equivalent to rendering an image with a larger FOV and cropping it off-center.
This can be quite useful for architecture renderings, but I guess also has it's use in other situations.
Note: Didn't make the ICameraSceneNode functions pure virtual so users don't have to update their cameras for this
Also some change in serialization - same as in other places by now, do use existing values as defaults values when they are not found instead of resetting them to 0.

Returns now getMipMapsData instead which for now will always be 0 in this case (but might work one day)
Also removing comment about ITexture::lock() mipmapLevel parameter being broken. It got fixed in November 2019.

Software driver sometimes works with original image (in 2D) and sometimes with POT version of the image (in 3D).
That is probably useful so it can draw the UI in best quality while having relative fast 3D.
The problem is that lock() only returns one data - so it decided to return the original data and then in unlock it updates the other data. But lock() data usually depends on getSize() so using EDT_SOFTWARE like other drivers causes crashes.
Not sure what the best solution here would be (maybe more flags or more lock functions?), so I just document the deviating behaviour and leave it as is.

Previously we handled all sizes as unsigned, but Windows BMP files can have negative height to signal top-down images.
No clue about left-right (would be trivial to swap as well, but found no info so far if that would be correct)
Also casting away some new compile warning in gcc for COBJMeshFileLoader

Just updating changes.txt (stuff got backported, so changes are now mentioned in 1.8.6 instead of 1.9)

Thanks @sfan5 for report and patch
Was part of the Minetest commit 80e1609 patch which was applied earlier
(couldn't apply this with the rest as the rest could be fixed in Irrlicht 1.8, while this one is about new Irrlicht 1.9 code)

Rest of Irrlicht is using left-handed rotatations.
But 2d vector rotations all uses ccw which is kinda the same direction as this one if you consider those as rotations around Y, so I guess that was maybe the reason back then.

Image size calculation could overflow s32 in one place (but not others where it was done correct), which first lead to wrong amount of memory getting allocated for image data and later crash in the CColorConverter.
Thanks @sfan5 for his fuzzing tests @https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/issues/236

From sfan5's fuzzing test reported in Minetest here: https://github.com/minetest/irrlicht/issues/236
Was missing test if it writes beyond allocated memory which can be triggered by TGA's which lie in their RLE data.

Was creating 16-bit images for those before.
Could also support 24-bit images, but either we need another convert function or another palette for that (the 16 and 32 bit both work with 32 bit palettes, the 24 bit conversion function only with 24 bit palettes)
git-svn-id: svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/irrlicht/code/trunk@6533 dfc29bdd-3216-0410-991c-e03cc46cb475
TGA's can claim to use less palette colors than they later do.
We only support 8-bit palettes, so to make this safer lets just always allocate at least 256 bytes.

We had 4 near identical functions, those now all call buildProjectionMatrixPerspectiveFov
They were a bit hard to check for errors otherwise.
Especially with the tiny confusing non-differences like one using (a-b) and other -(b-a)
Also new one uses matrix template parameter in case someone needs for example a high-precision matrix.

Removing includes which were not needed by headers
Note that if you include those headers directly (instead of including irrlicht.h) you may have to add some new includes now.
Thought I generally tried to avoid removing headers where it leads to too much changes in user-code
Reason was mainly that IntelliSense in VisualStudio 17.7 added a new feature which shows those unused headers :)
Has to be used a bit careful as it doesn't know about defines and other platforms
And I only did clean up public headers so far (will probably do some more later or another time)

Note: Due to OSX always failing merge OSX it's rather applying a second patch
from Ryan Schmidt from bugreport #462 to trunk
(Not sure why svn merging always fails for OSX. Probably related to MacOSX files getting moved in the past. Was that done without svn move commands? I guess that can't be fixed anymore now)

Note those were mostly backport, so trunk already had most changes.
Also we've not merged all from 1.8 branch, will need another merge (backports tend to cause lots of ugly conflicts, so have to split this a bit)

Also document that gl_FrontMaterial is no longer supported in Irrlicht 1.9 (this has been the case for a few years, I just never noticed this was changed as I never even knew that was possible in the past...). Will keep it that way is it's definitely going in the right direction (getting rid of legacy support and going towards OpenGL core instead),

What Irrlicht calls ShaderConstants is called uniforms by everyone else. So let's mention this at least.
Also reworked setVertexShaderConstant interface had an example for the old interface in the header.

Fix: When appending to an empty mesh boundingbox has to be initialized with first position
Adding updateBoundingBox parameter as there is a bit costs involved in updating that and it might not be necessary at that point
Default is still to do it - and with the default parameter it's at least compile compatible to old interface (unless users created their own meshbuffers).
Optimizing the copying of vertices in CDynamicMeshBuffer::append by using memset when possible instead of pushing each vertex (which goes through quite a few virtual functions)

Couldn't allocate enough memory before appending several buffers for all of them as first append shrunk the memory again.

Doesn't change it's own type - so can still drop data. Or overflow 16-bit buffers (which creates broken models, but no crashes).
But it no longer has a problem adding 16-bit index-buffers to a 32-bit index-buffer for example.

Some in CMeshBuffer got disabled in svn r1515 (before Irrlicht 1.7) without comment.
I suspect reason might have been that they are a bit unsafe and it was meant to be reworked.
Maybe was planned to put that into MeshManipulator?
And CDynamicMeshBuffer never had them.
Anyway, it's useful stuff and having functions do nothing doesn't help. So now they do at least basic work.
Meaning - as long as index and vertex types are identical it's possible to attach meshbuffers again.
While totally ignoring things like 16-bit index overflow for now (so could be improved).
It would probably be better if attach functions had info about vertex/index types, but just keeping interface as it is/was for now.
This also fixes Bug #310 reported by Gaz.
