Flagged the following 2 reports for closing in one week for reasons noted
in the reports:
[#34642] Physics type

[#18643] Blendin fails when previous action has different channels
keyed<https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=18643&group_id=9&atid=306>

I have potential fixes for the following two bugs, but I want to review
them further before committing them:
[#35120] BGE Camera Actuator fails to align to -X
axis<https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=35120&group_id=9&atid=306>

(Fix) <http://www.pasteall.org/44423/diff>

I think this report can be closed, I am just awaiting feedback from the
submitter (contacted via IRC):
[#18486] "Cluster Collission SS" Compatability Issue with GE
softbodys<https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=18486&group_id=9&atid=306>

I have also been investigating and reporting on various other reports in
the BGE tracker with less success. I have also committed a new fix for bug
#36223 as mentioned in last week's report.

This leaves the total at 10 closed with 5 potentially being closed soon.


== Next Week ==
10-15 reports closed

== Questions/Problems ==
I may need to start consulting other developers as I am leaving code I am
familiar with as I continue to hunt down bugs. Otherwise, things are going
well.
