 --------------------------
 Changes in 1.9 (not yet released)
+- vector3d scalar operator/ and operator/= no longer multiply by the inverse but use the expected division. 
+  Costs some speed, but fixes floating point troubles caused by this optimization (like x/x no longer being 1.0).
 - Add equals and set_data functions to core::array for easier working with blocks of data.
 - SIrrlichtCreationParameters::IgnoreInput set to false works again on X11. 
   Thanks @ Victor Gaydov for report + patch + very good test cases! (bug #401)
