This is related to Task T34861 to increase up & track axis options for TrackTo actuator. I've just added it to differential to facilitate an easier review.
With the patch applied you can select X, Y and Z axis for the Up axis, and X, Y, Z, -X, -Y and -Z for the track axis.
Related to the implementation I have used the algorithm from Trackto constrain placed in constrain.c but adapted to be used with MOTO library.
The wiki docs are here (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Lordloki/Doc:2.6/Manual/Game_Engine/Logic/Actuators/Edit_Object#Trackto_Actuator).
Test file is here: {F97623}
I have also uploaded 2 screenshots showing the UI modifications to the TrackTo actuator:

New properties 'line_color' and 'line_priority' are added to Material ID data blocks.
The 'line_color' property allows users to specify a per-material line color that can be
used as a Freestyle line color through Material color modifiers of line style settings.
The new line color property is intended to provide a solution for line color
stylization when a proper Freestyle support for Cycles is implemented (likely
as part of the upcoming Blender 2.72 release; see Patch D632). Materials in
Cycles are usually set up using shader nodes, and Freestyle won't be capable
of retrieving colors and other properties from node-based materials any soon.
The new line color property of materials addresses this foreseen limitation by
providing artists with an intuitive alternative mean to specify line colors on a
per-material basis independently from node trees.
The 'line_priority' property gives users a way to control line colors at material
boundaries. When a line is drawn along a feature edge at material boundaries,
one of the two materials on both sides of the edge has to be picked up to
determine the line color. So far there was no way to control this selection
(which was in effect at random). Now the material with a higher line color
priority will be selected.
The new per-material line settings are shown in the new Freestyle Line tab in
the Material context of the Properties window (only when Freestyle is enabled).
It is sometimes possible to end up with a lot of datablocks which have old + unused
"AnimData" containers still attached. This most commonly happens when doing motion
graphics work (i.e. when some linked-in objects may have previously been used to develop
a set of reusable assets), and is particularly distracting in the NLA Editor.
This commit adds an operator which removes AnimData blocks (restricted to only those
which are visible in the animation editor where it is run from) which are "empty"
(i.e. that is, have no active action, drivers, and nla tracks or strips).
This operator can be found from the "Edit" menu in the NLA Editor. Although it also
works when run from the DopeSheet or Graph Editors, it is of less use there since
those won't show these empty AnimData blocks by default (since by definition, such
AnimData blocks necesarily have no keyframes or drivers that can be shown), hence
there will be no feedback if the operator fails or succeeds.
Simply add an option to render settings to save an EXR cache,
just when the render is finished. Also changed RE_ReadRenderResult() to read
cache instead of temp sample files (those are fully volatile now anyway).
Path to save cached render results is an UserPreferences setting.
Also added 'Reload render' feature to the Image Editor (so one can now re-open a blend,
and in an Image Editor hit ctrl-R to (try to) reload last render from cache).

So! First, frame for absolute shape keys: never allow a new key to have the same pos as an
existing one (this does not make sense). This way, the two workflows are possible (create
all keys and then animate ctime, or animate ctime and then create keys where you need them).
Also, fixed UIList for shapekeys, the "absolute" test was wrong, and better to show frame
value, even though not editable, than nothing in case of absolute keys.
And finally, add getter to RNA 'frame' readonly value, so that we output real frame values,
and not dummy internal ones (which are /100) in our API.
as duplicators.
This property was always hidden in the UI for empties and cameras. It
doesn't make sense for the objects themselves (they are wires-only), but
also gets inherited by duplis. Now show it greyed out if not used, but
make it available for duplicators.
Not that happy with this, but this Item panel is a bit stupid, and we could add more
useful settings as well. So better get a design decision first, here.
This operator is used to make sure that if/when you have multiple strips
using the same action, if you select these and run this operator, each
strip will be given its own copy of the action. This is useful if you
decide later that you want to start using an existing action as a base.
NOTE: This does not recursively go inside meta's, so care is still advised
in that case.
This commit changes the default strip duplication behaviour (Shift-D) so that it will
create a copy of whatever action it uses. Previously, it was very hard, if not impossible
in some cases to create a new copy of an action to start working on in the NLA.
If you want the old behaviour, you'll need to use ALt-D (Linked Duplicates).
(Note: Although the new Shift-D may not be so optimal in all cases, I've decided to go
with this version since it aligns better with the way this works for objects. Doing the
opposite for NLA would just have added to the confusion)
This adds some view ratios in the video sequencer menu, based (copied) on the UV/Image Editor. It also fixes the inverted ratio issue reported in the same task.

Made the timeline option to only show keyframes from selected channels/data be a
per-scene setting instead of the per-timeline option it was previously. This makes
it easier for animators working on rigs with multiple bones (especially during the
polishing phase), since now the timeline and jump to keyframe operators use the same
setting to decide which subset of keyframes they need to consider.
By default, this option is enabled by default.
TODO: Extend this to the keyframe status shading on the active object name in the 3D view?
In fact, armature layers operators (set layers, and show all) were kind of messy and broken
in Edit mode (Select layers had two different operators for Pose and Edit modes, both
using the same funcs that could only work in Pose mode, Show All was supposed to be
used in both modes but again, its exec code could only work in Pose one).
Fixed that by:
* Using only one op for each task, for both modes (with adapted poll func).
* Replacing 'object from context' access by an helper that returns the right Armature
object in both Edit and Pose modes.
Making both keymap and menu values the same, and adding a (debug only) check in
IDP_EqualsProperties_ex() warning when comparing two floats with nearly the same value.
* The button icon for jumping to the Render Layers tab of the Properties context is
now RENDERLAYERS. Previous icon BUTS was too general.
* Thickness position options are grayed out if not applicable. These options are applied
only when plain chaining is used with the Same Object option enabled.
Also refactor:
- Material property UI related to shadows
- Preparation of OR-ed mode flags (ma->mode_l) of render materials

Toggle buttons are now placed to the left of those labels separating sets of line style
options, so as to save some space (in line with the new UI elements added in the
commit f60a66f417).
Line styles now have a set of new options for rearranging the stacking order of lines.
This gives artists more control to determine which lines should be drawn on top of others.
Two available sort keys are the distance from camera and curvilinear 2D length.
Since the distance of a line from camera may vary over vertices, another option called
integration type is used to compute the sort key for a line from the values computed at
individual vertices. Available integration types are MEAN, MIN, MAX, FIRST and LAST
(see the tool tips for more detail).
This commit makes it so CameraIntrinsics is no longer hardcoded
to use the traditional polynomial radial distortion model. Currently
the distortion code has generic logic which is shared between
different distortion models, but had no other models until now.
This moves everything specific to the polynomial radial distortion
to a subclass PolynomialDistortionCameraIntrinsics(), and adds a
new division distortion model suitable for cameras such as the
GoPro which have much stronger distortion due to their fisheye lens.
This also cleans up the internal API of CameraIntrinsics to make
it easier to understand and reduces old C-style code.
New distortion model is available in the Lens panel of MCE.
- Polynomial is the old well-known model
- Division is the new one which s intended to deal better with huge
distortion.
Coefficients of this model works independent from each other
and for division model one probably want to have positive values
to have a barrel distortion.
