The Assimp plugin that resides in the trunk branch of CS is supposed to
work on both Assimp 2 and 3 (and supposedly with their development
branch too).

I guess here that you were running CS 2.0, is it?

I've just updated the documentation in the manual for the supported
versions of the Bullet library (although the version of the manual that
is online on the CS website will not get updated before tomorrow).

We noticed previously with Frank that the Bullet library introduced some
API breakage between version 2.80 and 2.81, and that those breaks were
not easy to manage correctly in the CS plugins, and we haven't made it
yet.

So currently the version 2.81 of Bullet is to be avoided, and the
version 2.80 is the recommended one.

As mentioned by Eric, you can open some tickets for each specific
problem if you keep having some.
