• Using welds no longer breaks FixedRotations
  
• Optimized the explosions a bit. I unintentionally fixed rocket jumping while doing this, but it's a little bit overpowered!
  
• Added traces! Traces allow you to draw an invisible line from a point in the world and find the first part it collides with.
  

There are 2 ways to use traces:

[lua]Character:getTrace() --finds the part the character's arm is pointed at, useful for tools[/lua]

[lua]World:getTrace(Vec2D startPos, number angle) -- traces from the specified point in the world[/lua]

Both of these functions return a TraceResult object, which has the following properties:

• part
  
• start (Vec2D)
  
• end (Vec2D)
  
• distance (Vec2D)
  

If someone wants to add the info on traces to the wiki, that would be good!
