As for motivation behind the change, I think it makes more sense that way because only the CullVisitor cares about rendering. Say an intersection visitor or update visitor only needs to traverse the subgraph once, not once for each pass. For these visitors there is no point in traversing the subgraph more than once, since it's exactly the same graph. Another motivation is the performance improvement had when an intersection visitor tests against a multipass Technique."
Note about mods by Robert Osfield, "Changed dyanmic_cast<> and check against getTraversalType() to utilize the new asCullVisitor() instead to improve efficiency."
forcing users to use osgDB::readRef*File() methods. The later is preferable as it closes a potential threading bug when using paging databases in conjunction
with the osgDB::Registry Object Cache. This threading bug occurs when one thread gets an object from the Cache via an osgDB::read*File() call where only
a pointer to the object is passed back, so taking a reference to the object is delayed till it gets reassigned to a ref_ptr<>, but at the same time another
thread calls a flush of the Object Cache deleting this object as it's referenceCount is now zero. Using osgDB::readREf*File() makes sure the a ref_ptr<> is
passed back and the referenceCount never goes to zero.
To ensure the OSG builds when OSG_PROVIDE_READFILE is to OFF the many cases of osgDB::read*File() usage had to be replaced with a ref_ptr<> osgDB::readRef*File()
usage. The avoid this change causing lots of other client code to be rewritten to handle the use of ref_ptr<> in place of C pointer I introduced a serious of
templte methods in various class to adapt ref_ptr<> to the underly C pointer to be passed to old OSG API's, example of this is found in include/osg/Group:
bool addChild(Node* child); // old method which can only be used with a Node*
tempalte<class T> bool addChild(const osg::ref_ptr<T>& child) { return addChild(child.get()); } // adapter template method
These changes together cover 149 modified files, so it's a large submission. This extent of changes are warrent to make use of the Object Cache
and multi-threaded loaded more robust.

New methods osg::Geometry::containsDeprecatedData() and osg::Geometry::fixDeprecatedData() provide a means for converting geometries that still use the array indices and BIND_PER_PRIMITIVE across to complient
versions.
Cleaned up the rest of the OSG where use of array indices and BIND_PER_PRIMITIVE were accessed or used.
SETUP_EXE, in order to have a unique entry point to build the
libraries. With this changes the android integration will be less
painful (currently is a big IF(ANDROID) for each CMakeLists.txt) and
more maintainable in the future. I hope next submissions will be for
supporting android from my colleague Jorge.
"
1. When an outline object was occluded by another object, the backfacing wireframe was exposed. To fix that, I removed the disabling of GL_DEPTH_TEST.
2. In some cases, the outline color was the same color as the geometry being drawn instead of the specified color. I'm not sure I have completely fixed this issue, but I did make some changes to match up to how we do a scribe effect."
Also, there was also a small bug in osgDB's CMakeLists.txt that was causing an error when I tested with CMake 2.4.4.
IF(${OSG_DEFAULT_IMAGE_PLUGIN_FOR_OSX} STREQUAL "quicktime")
was changed to
IF(OSG_DEFAULT_IMAGE_PLUGIN_FOR_OSX STREQUAL "quicktime")
"
so I' ve set up a macro that uses the variable name expanded for linking, and test if a variable ${LINK_VAR_NAME}_DEBUG
like OPENTHREADS_LIBRARY_DEBUG exists and in case uses it for linking in debug mode.
I' ve also set up FindOpenThreads to set up these variables.
I had to edit the core libraries CMakeLists to add the calls to the macros used.
I' ve tested under MSVC"
Note, this required adding a unsigned int context ID to the osg::isGLUExtensionSupported(,)
and osg::isGLExtensionSupported(,) functions. This may require reimplementation
of end user code to accomodate the new calling convention.
