* Added support to texture.offset in CanvasRenderer
* Removed ShadowVolume, ShadowVolumeDynamicMaterial and LensFlare classes.
* Removed Stencil Shadows and LensFlare code out of WebGLRenderer
* Added 2.59 folder to Blender, and removed old ones.
Having these "undefined" for non-mesh objects was causing unnecessary GL state setting when having scenes with mixed content (and coercing "undefined" to boolean turned out to be similarly costly as state setting).
Changed normal map shader to multiply specular component with diffuse weighting as specular highlights were appearing in the dark parts.
Changed camera look speed in minecraft and terrain demos, they were too fast - I guess as everything got faster with antialiasing off.
Reenabled antialiasing in few demos where it was too ugly without (basically anything with lines and without postprocessing).
Fixed again spurious invisible characters in empaempa's code (which are breaking everything and are hard to hunt as they look like spaces).
There is a new class Edge which stores vertices and faces for edge (I wasn't sure if indices or references would be better, so at least for the moment it contains both).
Geometry now contains a list of such edges, created in JSONLoader, based on edge data exported from Blender.
From Blender we get a list of vertex index pairs, from which in Geometry.computeEdgeFaces() we compute faces which share this particular edge and store them in the Edge object.
Not sure if edges work properly till we don't have something using them. For now I just checked cube data exported from Blender and it seems fine.
Also did some whitespace cleanup here and there.
Animation.js - fixed scale bugs and removed flattenToArrayOffset
AnimationHandler.js - fixed so keyframes at same time is removed
Matrix4.lookAt - fixed so it handles situations where z === up and where eye === target
SkinnedMesh.update - added flattenToArrayOffset in end of update
There don't seem to be any effects on performance (though I'm not sure this was actually used in any example/test code path - so far quaternions are used just for animation interpolation and even there they were always dirty, and also just updated during JIT baking).
Also some more code cleanup - no need for Mesh to have own "update" as now it was exactly the same as its parent Object3D.
I need to look at this objectMatrix::extractRotationMatrix() thing. I don't think this works like that... isn't the scale applied to the rotation in the matrix?
It provides a lean way how to render TRIANGLE_STRIP primitives: needs just n+2 vertices for n triangles (one Ribbon = one strip). There are no faces, no indices, everything is rendered in one simple drawArray call.
Vertex colors are supported, normals not yet.
- removed unnecessary normal matrix computation in hierarchies (this is already done in renderer)
- removed unnecessary enabling of attribute arrays in every frame (it's enough to do it when shader program is created)
- depth test is now only set if it changed
- getters/setters are no more in Vector3
- object hierarchies thus don't use "isDirty"
- this was completely killing performance for anything that was touching a lot of Vector3 like creation of meshes and dynamic buffers
- even without this, performance of hierarchies went up (a lot)
- objects do not get passed renderer anymore
- camera was almost also removed, but this is useful for LOD (though there may be some cleaner way to do this?)
- material ids are now unified, this makes "geometry.sortFacesByMaterial" faster (thus scene init / GUI blocking is shorter)
- all WebGL examples should work now (render-to-texture has weird lights and in some camera control feels different)
- CanvasRender still broken, despite many efforts :(
- currently only points and lines work, faces don't show up. I think this may need assistance from mrdoob.
We have been very lucky - setters / getters were not supported till just 2 hours ago (so fresh, I had to build Closure myself from their repo ;).

Also some refactoring plus added hackish animation offset feature.
