vector_math and stability

[Dominic Hamon]

Hello

I've just pushed v0.1.5 (and published it to pub) that reverts the integration with John McCutchan's vector_math library. Through no fault of his, and complete fault of mine, the integration introduced instabilities in the collision code that I have not found time to resolve.

The safest way forward, then, is to revert master to v0.0.7 and roll in any fixes necessary to build against the latest SDK, and that's exactly what I've just done.

I will be working to introduce some basic optimizations using typed data, and consolidating num/double/int usage, and will be working to once again integrate the vector_math library on the side. However, this integration will not go in to master until I'm comfortable that it doesn't introduce any instability.

Thank you

Sorry to hear that, Dominic. Know you'll nail it when you have the time :-)

One more update: I just pushed a change that converts the internal math library to use typed_data and converted a bunch of num types to doubles. I've attached the before and after benchmark numbers to illustrate why.

Note that the performance is either comparable or dramatically better.
