multi-threaded paging, where the Pager manages threads of reading local
and http files via seperate threads. This makes it possible to smoothly
browse large databases where parts of the data are locally cached while
others are on a remote server. Previously with this type of dataset
the pager would stall all paging while http requests were being served,
even when parts of the models are still loadable virtue of being in the
local cache.
Also as part of the refactoring the DatabaseRequest are now stored in the
ProxyNode/PagedLOD nodes to facilitate quite updating in the cull traversal,
with the new code avoiding mutex locks and searches. Previous on big
databases the overhead involved in make database requests could accumulate
to a point where it'd cause the cull traversal to break frame. The overhead
now is negligable.
Finally OSG_FILE_CACHE support has been moved from the curl plugin into
the DatabasePager. Eventually this functionality will be moved out into
osgDB for more general usage.
From Robert Osfield, refactored the FrameBufferObejcts::_drawBuffers set up so that its done
within the setAttachment method to avoid potential threading/execution order issues.
Introduced code in BoundgingSphere, BoundingBox, ProxyNode and LOD to utilise the above settings.
Added Matrix::value_type, Plane::value_type, BoundingSphere::value_type and BoundingBox::value_type command line
options that report where the types of floats or doubles.
and a new scheme for computing the scaling when using autoscale that introduces smooth
transitions to the scaling of the subgraph so that it looks more natural.
The win32 pbuffer implementation returned an error unless both the
WGL_ARB_pbuffer and the WGL_ARB_render_texture functions were present.
This was too restrictive, as a pbuffer can usefully be created without
render-to-texture, e.g. for use with glReadPixels. The osg 1.2/Producer
pbuffers worked without RTT, and osgUtil::RenderStage has all the code to
handle both RTT and non-RTT pbuffers, doing a read and copy in the
latter case.
With these changes I have successfully tested the osgprerender example
on a graphics card which supports RTT, and one which doesn't. Plus
tested in my own application.
In order to aid diagnostics I have also added more function status
return checks, and associated error messages. I have included the win32
error text in all error messages output. And there were some errors
with multi-threaded handling of "bind to texture" and a temporary window
context which I have corrected.
These is one (pre-existing) problem with multi-threaded use of pbuffers
in osgViewer & osgprerender, which I have not been able to fix. A win32
device context (HDC) can only be destroyed from the thread that created
it. The pbuffers for pre-render cameras are created in
osgUtil::RenderStage::runCameraSetUp, from the draw thread. But
closeImplementation is normally invoked from the destructor in the main
application thread. With the additional error messages I have added,
osgprerender will now output a couple of warnings from
osgViewer::PixelBufferWin32::closeImplementation() at exit, after
running multi-threaded on windows. I think that is a good thing, to
highlight the problem. I looked into fixing it in osgViewer::Renderer &
osgUtil::RenderStage, but it was too involved for me. My own
application requirements are only single-threaded.

osg::GraphicsThread::FlushDeletedGLObjectsOperation().

there is a bug. The header file do specify something
like this:
FrameBufferAttachment(Texture3D* target, int zoffset,
int level = 0);
However in the .cpp file we have:
FrameBufferAttachment::FrameBufferAttachment(Texture3D*
target, int level, int zoffset)
Which means that the meaning of level and zoffset is
interchanged.

to STOP. Subsequently, you can restart it from the beginning by
setting the mode to START. This does not work as expected. The _now
time is not updated while the mode is STOP, which causes the items in
the sequence to flash by very quickly when the mode is set to START.
For example, if the mode was set to STOP and left that way for 30
seconds, and there are 10 items in the sequence, when the mode is set
to START all the items will flash by (in 3 loops) while the _now time
catches up with the real time, and then the sequence will go on at the
rate it should.
This is a simple fix for that, which updates the _now time regardless
of the mode the sequence is in."

shapes worked fine. So I have fixed this. Code attached.
My modification is in the PrimitiveShapeVisitor, and is based on the
DrawShapeVisitor - I added methods called createCylinderBody and
createHalfSphere, and used them in apply(Cylinder&) and
apply(Capsule&). In my testing they work fine, tested even with
transforms and moving around the scene.

Previously the complete StateSet was cleared, even the non clipping releted
state attributes and modes in this stateset on a call to
setLocalSetateSetModes.
With this change only those modes/attributes are changed that need to be
changed. That is, if a clip plane is removed from the ClipNode, only this
assiciated mode is removed from the state set, instead of throwing away the
whole state set.
In this way we have less surprising results if the state set of a clip node is
used for more state than just the clip state.

It does not like that the prototype of ClipNode::setStateSetModes() differs
from implementation of that function in the constness of the second
parameter.
On SunOS it compiles fine, but I get link errors when the variant that is
declared in the header is referenced.
The attached src/osg/ClipNode.cpp file removes the const qualifier from the
implementation to match exactly the prototype in the header file.
The file is based on revision 7386 as of today.

- GL2Extensions, Program and Program.cpp
Features:
- Support for fragment output binding. (e.g. You can now specify in the fragment shader varying out vec3 fragOut; fragOut = vec3(1,0,1); to write to the fragOut variable. In your program you call glBindFragDataLocation(program, 1, "fragOut") to bind the fragOut variable with the MRT 1 - GL_COLOR_ATTACHMENT1_EXT)
- new methods Program::add/removeBindFragDataLocation Program::getFragDataBindingList

- Implementation of integer textures as in EXT_texture_integer
- setBorderColor(Vec4) changed to setBorderColor(Vec4d) to pass double values
as border color. (Probably we have to provide an overloading function to
still support Vec4f ?)
- new method Texture::getInternalFormatType() added. Gives information if the
internal format normalized, float, signed integer or unsigned integer. Can
help people to write better code ;-)

"A new texture class Texture2DArray derived from
Texture extends the osg to support the new
EXT_texture_array extensions. Texture arrays provides
a feature for people interesting in GPGPU programming.
Faetures and changes:
- Full support for layered 2D textures.
- New uniform types were added (sampler2DArray)
- FrameBufferObject implementation were changed to
support attaching of 2D array textures to the
framebuffer
- StateSet was slightly changed to support texture
arrays. NOTE: array textures can not be used in fixed
function pipeline. Thus using the layered texture as a
statemode for a Drawable produce invalid enumerant
OpenGL errors.
- Image class was extended to support handling of
array textures
Tests:
I have used this class as a new feature of my
application. It works for me without problems (Note:
Texture arrays were introduced only for shading
languages and not for fixed function pipelines!!!).
RTT with Texture2DArray works, as I have tested them
as texture targets for a camera with 6 layers/faces
(i.e. replacement for cube maps). I am using the array
textures in shader programming. Array textures can be
attached to the FBO and used as input and as output."

the interlaced stereo code have support for 'absolute' positions?
