- `muscle` actuators take a new `tausmooth` attribute (defaults to 0) which when positive, smooths the transition between activation and deactivation timescales.
- `mju_muscleDynamics` takes 3 parameters, adding width of smoothing sigmoid.

Also:
- Renamed recently introduced `mjvPerturb` member `reflocalpos` -> `refselpos` and corrected docstring.
- Added `mjvPerturb.localmass`: body spatial inertia at selection point.
- Removed `const` qualifier to `mjData` argument of `mjv_initPerturb()`, to facilitate spatial inertia computation.
- Improved `mj_Object{Velocity, Acceleration}` docstrings, clarifying that rotational velocities precede linear velocities.
- Removed redundant const qualifiers from non pointer arguments to `mju_dot` and `mju_writeNumBytes`.

- Add private function `mj_arenaAlloc`. This is used internally to allocate memory from the arena.
- Add private function `mj_nefc` to count constraints. This function returns a tight upper bound on `d->nefc`. The number of counted constraints can be slightly bigger than exact `d->nefc` in the case of constraints with empty Jacobian, as when placing a frictional tendon between two world sites.
- Add new `memory` attribute to the `size` XML element for specification of arena memory size. This attribute is mutually exclusive with `nstack` and `njmax` specifications, which are now deprecated (but left around for the time being for legacy compatibility).
- Move `d->stack` to the end of the new arena space. The stack now grows in reverse from the end.

- Never modify `d->ctrl`:
- `ctrl` values which are outside their respective `ctrlrange` are clamped internally, but `d->ctrl` itself is unmodified.
- Similarly, if `mjWARN_BADCTRL` is raised (NaNs or huge values), `ctrl` is cleared internally, but `d->ctrl` itself is unmodified.
- `mjWARN_BADCTRL` is no longer raised for `d->ctrl` values that are larger in absolute value than `mjMAXVAL`, if clamping makes them smaller than that.
- Added `mju_clip()` utility function.
- Added missing warning string for `case mjWARN_BADCTRL`.

Added analytic derivatives of smooth (unconstrained) dynamics forces, with respect to velocities:
- Centripetal and Coriolis forces computed by the Recursive Newton-Euler algorithm.
- Damping and fluid-drag passive forces.
- Actuation forces.
A new implicit-in-velocity integrator is implemented using the analytic derivatives. This integrator lies between the Euler and Runge Kutta integrators in terms of both stability and computational cost.
