Bullet 2.72 has been released (SVN revision r1364)

http://code.google.com/p/bullet/downloads/list

• Blender 3D has Bullet real-time soft body integrated in the built-in game engine. See Youtube Video or check out the soft body user guide. Dynamica Maya plugin next?
• Autotools/automake Makefile support, next to cmake, jam and visual studio projectfiles
• Add Debug DLL and Release DLL configurations for MSVC project files, and use it for Dynamica plugin
• btScaledBvhTriangleMeshShape allows to share BVH & btBvhTriangleMeshShape of different scales
• btConvexPointCloudShape allows to collide with the convex hull of vertices, without duplicating the vertices.
• btBvhTriangleMeshShape improved serialization support, thanks to reltham
• Improved ColladaConverter: plane shape and custum shape management support
• Improved Dynamica Maya plugin, fixes in rotation, thanks to Nicola, and COLLADA physics export
• CCD motion clamping. Avoid tunneling by enabled clamping of motion based on continuous collision detection, for fast moving objects. See Wiki documentation on Motion Clamping using setCcdMotionThreshold, setCcdSweptSphereRadius.
• NSIS installer for Dynamica Maya plugin, thanks to bazuka
• Improved Soft Body - Concave collision detection support
• Sharing of GJK and EPA implementation between PPU and SPU/BulletMultiThreaded version
• Improved quanitation/clamping in sweep and prune broadphase, thanks to O. Kniemeyer.
• Improved rigid body damping formula, thanks to sparkprime
• Several bugfixes, see http://code.google.com/p/bullet/source/list

Thanks to everyone for contributions and feedback,
Enjoy,
