cles always had only position (3 degrees of translational freedom).
Now they can also optionally have an orientation (3 degrees of rotational freedom), which are updated by the solver at each iteration.
This makes possible new types of goals based on these orientations. The first example of this is a more robust rigid body component, and collision between pairs of rigid bodies. These can be any closed solids, and do not need to be convex.
In coming weeks I will be posting more examples of Goals which make use of the 6dof nodes, including some scripted ones.
