• upgraded Ogre graphic engine to its latest version

• item Start particle effect can now play until the item is grabbed
  

• crash if an item particle effect was not found
  
• bullets should not use the wake zone to know if they are visible or not but the screen limits (stand-alone behavior)

• smaller bullet size increments in the Weapon editor

• a crash sometimes occurred with the laser
  
• a crash sometimes occurred in the weapon editor
  
• adding a new layer didn't update the level layer order
  
• layer rendering order could be wrong in a rare case
  
• more consistent warm-up particle effect rendering order
  
• "create a game" tutorial small issues fixed (regression)
  
• creating a new particle FX didn't add it immediately to the other editor's particles list

Due to a graphic engine update, fontdef files should be modified: the 1st code_points number should be 32, not 33.
Example: code_points 32-255
[h3]Please fix your fontdef files to display space characters properly![/h3]
