Released for Windows:
-IMPORTANT: SoftBodyMesh file format has been updated, previously saved softbody files will not work
-Object Physical Bodies can now be directly created in the World Editor Object Properties window using "Quick Create" ComboBox (file will be automatically saved to the same path as mesh file)
-adding shapes in Model Editor Physical body mode will now try to automatically match the size of the Mesh
-simplified access/adding/removing of certain elements (Skeleton::bone,point; Animation::bone,event; Mesh::part; Particles:: p; ..) to new Mems (Memory Simple) containers (which work almost exactly as Memc containers, except they use slightly less memory, however are slower when it comes to adding/removing elements)
-Mems are now suggested as complete replacement for c++ pointers which allocate memory, as Mems like all other containers automatically release the memory, provide automatic debug InRange checks, and many other built-in functions
-each text character is now per-pixel aligned when drawing text, which can result in better quality if text draw settings scale is set to per pixel size
-removed Ms.inv,invert
-removed GuiCustom pointer to methods _update and _draw, please override virtual update/draw methods instead (an example of 'draw' method would be : draw(..) {if(!gpc.hidden && !hidden()){D.clip(gpc.clip); ..draw..}}
-updated some of the tutorials to use MaterialLock during rendering instead of Mesh::setMaterial, as 'setMaterial' shouldn't be used during rendering as it's too slow
-fixed small artifacts in mesh outlining effect
-removed D.text(.., Char* left, Char* right, ..)
-merged renderer.h with rendertargets.h
-material ambient color will now work also in forward and simple renderers
-moved some headers to H\_\Extra\
-fixed small bug in World Editor when overwriting object properties didn't modified other objects using that properties
-fixed bug in Mesh::boneRename and ClothMesh::boneRename
-new world editor menu option "view/physical bodies"
-added support for importing TGA files under DX10+ and OpenGL
-added option to align objects to vertical grid in World Editor
-various small fixes

RE: January 2011
Released for Windows:
-IMPORTANT: added 'volumetric' parameter to object lights (point and cone), and 'angle' parameter to cone lights, because of this previous savegames may not work, also default access mode for lights has been changed to Constant
-added support for volumetric lights in Forward renderer
-added new object type OBJ_ANIMATABLE and Game::Animatable class
-Game::Waypoint::pos now has additional default parameter "smooth" which allows accesing spline smoothed position
-new method Cpu.name() allowing to access cpu name
-fixed minor issue in Memx container sorting, which may have disabled the ability of removing object parameters which were overriding the default value
