[pybullet] updated pybullet_quickstartguide.pdf
Fail clearly (assert, return BT_INFINITY) if link index is out of range for btMultiBody methods localPosToWorld,worldPosToLocal,localDirToWorld,worldDirToLocal.
pybullet getConstraintInfo
Fix warnings due to Mac OSX 10.12 upgrade (with backward compatibility)

added b3InitSyncBodyInfoCommand, to retrieve body info, when connecting to a server with existing bodies
pybullet will call this b3InitSyncBodyInfoCommand automatically after connecting
Avoid overriding the py.setVRCameraState setting in VR
add inverse_kinematics.py and hello_pybullet.py pybullet examples
add m_worldLinkFramePosition/Orientation fields to b3LinkState, and in pybullet.getLinkState (URDF link frame in Cartesian/world coordinates)
Windows shared memory: allow to use custom key.
Improve GUI performance on Windows, submit letters in text as a batch (fewer draw-calls)
quadruped.py: first try to connect to SHARED_MEMORY, if it fails (<0) use GUI
increase Chrome about://tracing json export capacity (press 'p' in Example Browser)
UDP physics server: add --port and --sharedMemoryKey command-line arguments
PhysicsServerExample: add --sharedMemoryKey command-line option (for VR example too)
ExampleBrowser: sleep a few milliseconds if rendering is too fast, use --minUpdateTimeMicroSecs=0 to disable
vrevent.py: add a Tiltbrush-style drawing example using pybullet
Expose getVREvents to pybullet / shared memory API, access to any VR controller state & state changes.
Improve performance of user debug lines (pybullet/shared memory API) by batching lines with same color/width
expose rayTest to pybullet/shared memory API (single ray for now)
add pybullet getMatrixFromQuaterion
allow 'useMaximalCoordinates' and 'useFixedBase' in pybullet.loadURDF.
enable split impulse for btRigidBody, even in btMultiBodyDynamicsWorld.
allow initialization of velocity and apply force for btRigidBody in pybullet/shared memory API.
process contact parameters in URDF also for btRigidBody (friction, restitution etc)
add pybullet.setPhysicsEngineParameter with numSolverIterations, useSplitImpulse etc.
fix build_cmake_pybullet_win32.bat, so it links against correct version of pythonx.lib pythonx_d.lib. Still, I would prefer using premake on Windows, it has more native Visual Studio features.
add option to perform filtering of 'getClosestPoints' using linkA/linkB.
don't use 'realtimesimulation' as default
add/remove debug items within same thread
pybullet, report contact points and normal as [x,y,z] triplet/vector, not 3 scalars
separate 'getClosestPointsAlgorithm': box-box doesn't report closest points with positive distance, and the query shouldn't impact regular 'closesst points'
always pass in width, hight and viewMatrix, projectionMatrix, optionally lightDir
added helper methods computeViewMatrix, computeViewMatrixFromYawPitchRoll, computeProjectionMatrix, computeProjectionMatrixFOV
see Bullet/examples/pybullet/testrender.py + testrender_np.py for example use
add missing base_link.stl for husky.urdf
update to OpenVR sdk 1.03 from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr
add camPosX/Y/Z and camRotZ to adjust relative camera/world transform for VR (so you can align virtual table with real table etc)
tweak quadruped.py to move a bit
add mouse picking to physics server
