Nightly LÖVE - Download and test nighty builds of LÖVE

[conroy]

With the release of LÖVE 0.9.0 sometime in the near(ish) future, I wanted to test out the new features and backwards incompatible changes. You can now download fresh builds of LÖVE 0.9.0 at Nightly LÖVE. Please remember, these builds SHOULD NOT be used when distributing a game as the 0.9.0 APIs aren't frozen and there may be bugs. These builds should be used for testing, and only testing. New builds will be uploaded daily.

That page is delightful! Thank you for setting this up!

That is such an awesome website.

The current changelog is here (or a less up-to-date but more linkified version on the wiki: 0.9.0.) Keep in mind everything is subject to change!

Some of the new features that might need testing: Geometry, all the new math module functions, vertex shaders, mipmapping, HDR canvases, DXT CompressedData, Channels API for threads, and all the other things.

When might we get LuaJIT? That's what I'm looking forward to. I need it for the speed of course. My project is way too slow otherwise.

Also, are all those features mentioned above documented somewhere? Some of them sound interesting.

Soon. Hopefully?

Yeah, the wiki changelog has links to some preliminary documentation (mostly done by CyaNox.) Feel free to add to the wiki's documentation as well.

Ubuntu binary perhaps?

conroy: is it possible have the date of the builds somewhere?
