0d74d508df From Tim Moore, "his submission fixes a bug when the ModularEmitter and ParticleSystem are in different frames of reference. Specifically, it supports the case where the ParticleSystem is not in the world frame. One way this can come up is if your world coordinate system is Earth-centric; the float coordinates of particles don't have enough precision to avoid terrible jitter and other rendering artifacts, so it's convenient to root the particle systems in a local Z-up coordinate system that gets moved around from time to time.

Tweak from Robert Osfield, converted code to use new Drawable::getWorldMatrices method

1e508d432b Added SmokeTrailEffect which renders created particles as single quad or line
strip, in the case of the quad strip the strip is aligned to the be orthogonal with
the eye point.

be285c62c0 Added support for rapid movement of the emitter, with particle now seeding between
the position of the emitter in the previous frame and the new position in the new
frame, the number of particles added also scales up to compensate for this movement.

6821a80e14 Changed the ReferenceFrame enums to be RELEATIVE and ABSOLUTE, and
deprecated the RELATIVE_TO_ABSOLUTE and RELATIVE_TO_PARENTS.

4761442005 Merged changed to osgParticle from Marco Jez, the changes are (quoted from
email from Marco)

"Most relevant news:
1) particle systems now have the "freezeOnCull" property set to false by
default. Since it is an optimization, and using it may cause some unwanted
behaviors if not handled properly, it makes more sense to turn it off by
default.
2) new "LINE" shape mode which uses GL_LINES to draw line segments that
point to the direction of motion.
3) particles can now have a rotation angle and angular velocity.
4) new AngularAccelOperator applies angular acceleration to particles.
5) particle processors such as emitters and programs can have a "start",
"end" and "reset" time coordinate. For example, an emitter may be instructed
to start emitting particles only after a certain time, stop after another
amount of time and then start again.

Update (2) is from Gideon May.
Updates (3) to (5) are from Douglas A. Pouk."
